Having read up on the Disting, I'm going to put one in the last 4hp of my main case. Can't find one in stock anywhere though! Cannot believe that I just ordered almost 9 full U of modular. I am a little giddy.

So, I've got a Monotribe and a KP3 and am enjoying pretending that I was kicked out of Kraftwerk for being too boring. But I'd like them to sync up and maybe have another voice to play with. Would a Microbrute accomplish this? I was thinking it could go like this: Midi out of KP3 -> Midi into Microbrute -> CV out of Microbrute -> Sync in to Monotribe. Not looking to sequence anything from anything - just want things to run concurrently and be able to use the sample aspect of KP3 more. Would it work?

Maybe I'll do it. I don't know. I think I was also looking forward to having a bit more to play with than just the monotribe.

Make what you have actually useful. Then you can get more poo poo. Also, you're going to need to learn how to wrench on poo poo sooner or later. 20$ for a bare bones soldering iron, 5$ for components and an afternoon are all that even the most technically incompetent need to get midi in onto their monotribes.

You could just make a click track in your DAW to sync the 'tribe. That'll let you avoid the whole buying a Microbrute thing (unless you want to). Btw off the top of my head, your idea should work; but i don't own any of the devices involved, so don't trust me too much.

I't would work ok(ish), my improvisational band has had microbrute,volcas,monotribe synced together with sync cables. Some dropouts and glitchynes but nothing major.

Thanks. I'll have a bit of a think about it before buying or opening up anything. At the moment I feel sort of halfway in and halfway out of the box when it comes to making music. Using the computer makes sense from a practical and financial point of view. It just doesn't feel as fun as linking up boxes and doing things on the fly. I'm sure that, like most things, there's a halfway point that's the sweet spot, but having limited resources means I don't quite know where to go. Back to the monotribe for a bit...

I'm trying to decide between the rackmount ESQ-m and the ESQ-1. Can anyone steer me one way or the other? They are both for sale locally and are the same price. It would be nice to save some space if the rack version isn't significantly more annoying to program.

Can't say definitively, but the esq/sq are so straightforward to patch (one layer depth on all the menus), I doubt that removing a couple of page buttons would make it appreciably harder to patch. Basically, instead of having a dedicated button to select each parameter on the screen, you have left and right buttons to move between them. That's the only difference I can see. Go for the rack. gently caress, if you're unhappy with it and shipping isn't too much, I'll buy it off of you.

Honestly it's cause I'm a gay baby but the only thing that drives me crazy about the ensoniq esq1 is that you have to re trigger / replay a note to see your patch changes go into affect I loving want instant satisfaction.

Get a zillion purely as a programming aid. Also I'll say go keyboard if you're newish to programming because the button layout is the signal layout. The real answer is get both because you can do note fallover.

In practice really hard to not to overdo it because it needs to be retriggered and feels laggy as poo poo and usually ends in white noise.

There are quite a few synths where you can modulate envelopes etc with immediate effect. It's not ubiquitous, especially on older digital stuff, but not uncommon. An envelope modulating itself is a pretty standard way of getting exponential envelope shapes in synths that support it.

What options are there for a sample-based drum machine that can be played via CV? I want to make some drum kits out of my MS-20 and control it with my Analog Four but the A4 doesn't output MIDI, only CV. And I don't feel like paying 1600 for a drat Rytm either. Preferably it'd work basically like midi -- hit C0 for one sound, C1 for another etc.

Need CV in tho. And now that I think about it it wouldn't work anyway since you can only trigger one note per step with CV. Oh well.

Oh okay gotcha. There's still some practicality issues with the number of CV tracks tho. I'll probably just try an iPad solution or something I dunno.

You have a minibrute right? Send gate to that and it should send midi out from there IIRC.

Every analog thing I have does this, I thought it was part of how VCEs worked? I just tested it (on an Evolver) to be sure- moving the attack from full to none while the envelope was triggering definitely did something, and most of the other settings were way less subtle. It's a really nice feature to have when you're programming. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding your point.

JamesKPolk posted:Unless I'm completely misunderstanding your point. Pretty much, let's say you have a patch set up with a 1/4 second attack phase and you depress a key, the patch starts playing and you move the attack up to a 1/2 second, you don't get a 1/2 second attack, you don't hear the 1/2 second attack phase until you retrigger. The only places where you get instantaneous, accurate representation of patch changes is, like, unmodulated cut off, umodulated resonance and unmodulated amplitude (because of phasing, even pitch adjustments if you're running more than one oscillator, sound different depending on where in the cycle they're made). That's still dependent on the underlying sound that is being filtered or amplified having no variance over time. So, no, it's the rule and the only place you find exceptions to it are with really, really simple patches
