That's odd, I could've sworn that she didn't pay attention to disk type and would format DD disks as HD if you wanted, you just wouldn't be able to read them in anything but the S1k. Could be misremembering though. Does it read HD floppies? What was the make and model? Is it even an HD drive?

I unfortunately don't have a known working HD disk to test. I should have checked what the included disk was formatted as before tried to format it. Not sure the exact model, but it's a Sony. I would assume it would even try to do anything if it wasn't actually an HD drive when formatting high. I've got two floppies HD and DD formatted with OmniFlop for Akai S-series. Will test when I get home. ~hardware hardships~

Any single person in this thread would be a more interesting and insightful contributor to the Sonic Talk Podcast than Corry Banks. Every single time Nick throws him a question, his response is basically "Looks cool, look forward to seeing what people can do with it." (Only it takes him about 3 minutes to say it.)

Not that this is relevant (yet) but since there's some ancient AKAI related activity here... I have a literally a box full of AKAI compatible SCSI hardware including two ZIP drives (internal and external), a CD-rom burner, floppy drive, and some assorted other parts. If anyone needs something just give a shout, I rather give them away to a fellow goon than going through the hassle of selling them for petty cash on ebay.

I might be interested in some of it. Was the floppy for a particular S-series model? Not sure if this applies to all, but the S1k are configured for Amiga standards not IBM, and I would imagine later models were otherwise. How are the ZIP drives? I have the SCSI card, so I might be interested in the external one. I do like idea of not being limited to 1.44MB (or in my current case 720kb)

When trying to MIDI sync between my Machinedrum and Ableton the timing is off and seems to be doubled going either way. Anyone have a Machinedrum and is syncing with Ableton or vice versa and is syncing? Googling around I see that bad MIDI timing is something that's common with syncing these devices (mostlyon Ableton's end). If I can't get this to work I may end up going computerless and just re-creating my loops on the individual synths which would be a pain.  My chain for now is Ableton (Master clock and midi clips on different channels) -Midi Out-Midi In-> Machinedrum (just clock) -Midi Thru-Midi In->x0xb0x for now. net work error fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jul 4, 2014 |

It might be something with Turbo mode being enabled in the global settings. I have had some sync issues in the past (either between the software and instrument or MIDI interface and instrument) but turning off some of the unnecessary MIDI features for me in the Machinedrum (and turning off most of the MIDI sync options in Ableton unless they're important) can make a difference.

The external drive is like new, the internal one, can't tell. Should be okay. I'll dig out the box and take some pictures of everything.

Some maniacs in the Netherlands designed a bespoke hardware MIDI controller for the excellent TAL-U-NO-LX Juno emulation plugin. It is made of wood.   It will cost $750 USD.

Caddies 4life. I'd be down for the external CD and jaz drives/carts. My FDD is still rolling so I'll pass unless nobody else is interested. I can toss you some bucks for shipping with google wallet, my useless paypal boycott continues. While we're giving poo poo away, if anyone is interested in those NOS cassettes I posted about in the ~secret club~ while the forums were down let me know. My decks don't like them so there's too much high rolloff for my robot farts.

Drop me an email at sjoewe[at]gmail.com with your location, so I can get a quote on the shipping costs. Clean weight is nearly at 6kg so it might get a little expensive hauling it across the pond.

I turned off Turbo mode and also changed around MIDI channels and I got it to work. It's not quantized perfectly but I can adjust for that in live.  Thanks for the tip.

The thing below it is just the Echomania ensemble from the Reaktor library. Synths always sound better with delay.

Arrange in-key clips in the session view and hammer them out with record into the arrange view and then just vomit stuff into a track and then fix it. e. And not be afraid of presets for synths, that seems to be a big thing. e2. we got a TB-3 in this thing sounds good man

WAFFLEHOUND posted:And not be afraid of presets for synths, that seems to be a big thing. Honestly once I got over myself and decided to just throw presets at something until it sounded vaguely like what I wanted my workflow got a lot better. (Komplete: $200 of presets, basically) Still nowhere near finishing a track but I can crank out 8 bar loops that sound like "music" super fast now. e: Can you elaborate on the part of the workflow that involves Session view? Every Ableton video I've ever seen on YouTube basically involved the arrange view exclusively, and I feel like the Session view is what fits my mental model the most (building up clips and switching between them) but I tend to get stuck once I have my first scene filled out, six instruments playing some MIDI clips. Then I don't really get anywhere because I spend a bunch of time endlessly dicking with what I already have. I think I've successfully executed a Session->Arrange->track flow once but it mainly involved writing that first scene and then spending the rest of my time in Arrange, which doesn't work when I want to get beyond three minutes. This might fit the Ableton thread more, but we're already in this one. e2: I still want to make my own sounds, but I think there is a separate mental state for doing sound design vs composition, and it's starting to become easier for me to separate the two.

He basically sits in session view and comes up with loops of varying length that to some degree work with other loops he has, with the goal of coming up with a complete overabundance of loops compared to what he'd actually need to finish a track. Then he uses a Push with record turned on to launch loops selectively with record on so all the MIDI data gets dumped to the same channel as the strip in session view, then he goes into arrange with a now roughly laid out track and changes around things, automates, fades, etc. And I didn't see him straight up use presets as much as he'll use them as the basis for things he knows he wants and then edit them a bit. Or not, sometimes. It's a different workflow than I've ever thought of using but it solves the help-im-stuck-on-a-four-bar-loop thing.

I've been 100% Cubase for the past year or so, but I'm thinking about spending some time in Live's session view again because I've gotten three recent musical ideas which would be really challenging for me to do in a typical piano roll view. They each have at least 12 different melodic parts that all work together musically but would never all be playing together, and figuring out how to lay them out in a natural chronological order is making my brain hurt.

BKPR posted:theory question for y'all: does bleep usually follow bloop, or is the other way around more traditional? Coming from a techno perspective, German/Berlin techno will generally be much more bleep heavy, generally in triplets of some kind. Detroit techno I've found to favor the bloop more but either is fair game as long as they flow for at least a beat. If you're more tech house inclined definitely stick to bloops because a bleep stands out too much and usually isn't favorable in that kind of genre.

Thinking I might get the focusrite itrack dock thing for my ipad air. Especially since I guess the alesis 2 dock doesn't even fit the air, dumb. I mean, I'm sure I could pad it out, but gently caress it. Might as well get the thing that works right out of the box. Anyone have any experience with this? I convinced myself I wanted the ipad air to record my other synths and use the digital synths on it. Since I've put off buying the dock, the truth has been revealed with bejeweled scores and netflix season finales.
