Apparently the CF spec has a much faster read speed than SD used to have -- only recently has SD been able to catch up.

Autolyze posted:It's probably wisest to leave the 4hp open until you've had a chance to play around with the rest of the system to figure out what seems to be "missing" for you. That said, the Disting uses 4hp and is extremely versatile. It tends to sell out extremely quickly and you might want to confirm that the Shared System PSU has enough juice left over for it though. Thanks for the advice  I'll probably leave that space blank as you mentioned for a little while. Got the modules you suggested saved to read up on. I plan to record a lot of what i make, chop it up & rearrange it - is something like this http://www.kentonuk.com/products/items/m-cv/usb-solo.shtml the best way to keep it in sync with ableton? Want to be able to do a live jam over an ableton arrangement of drums & percussion, recording the whole time. I have a focusrite 2i2 unfortunately, there's only one audio output and it's the master so I dont think I can send a cv clock with what I have. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Jun 3, 2015 |

You'll probably have to upgrade your audio interface to the iconnectAUDIO since that's what they recommend to use it but $300 for a 4x4 interface with 3 USB in/outs isn't much if you're already planning on dropping 4k on a modular system.

I bought the Audio4 last weekend and it is the best. I love being able to take a synth on my iPad, send the audio out to a guitar pedal the route that back I to the iPad for further processing before I record it. It's also a MIDI host so Microbrute and MS-20 mini can finally talk to each other without needing the iPad as a go-between. Only 2 USB in/outs tho. The third USB jack is for MIDI via a powered hub, so in theory you could have MIDI out to like 9 devices including the DIN. Only problem right now is that the iPad config app isn't out yet.

A Winner is Jew posted:You'd have to sacrifice the Elements since it would require 8 hp, I'd rather not sacrifice the elements. The FH-1 seems like overkill too - I dont want to send any sequences, i just want it to stay in time. the cheapest possible way I can send a clock from ableton is all i'm after. another $300 on top of whatever the fh-1 costs is like 10-15% on top of the total. i'm already pushing my budget at 4k, I cant just add 500 on a whim, and thats assuming the fh-1 is only $200. e: could I use my shruthi to generate a clocked audio signal, and convert that to cv/use it directly? being able to do it with a midi channel would be great. e2: or would this work - http://mutable-instruments.net/modules/cvpal /could ableton see that as something to send midi information to? cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jun 3, 2015 |

Take a click from whatever, make sure it's good and loud, feed that into the signal input on the first channel of maths, give it an instantaneous attack and longer decay, take the end of rise gate from maths channel one as your clock. This is how I used to clock my setup using ableton/a four track tape recorder. Works a treat.

cubicle gangster posted:Thanks for the advice Good call. And you can do a lot with Elements solo - most of the time I use 3.5mm to 1/4" patch cables to patch its stereo output straight to a mixer to save signal path for all the other modules that don't have built in envelopes, and the built-in reverb makes it pretty good as a finished sound product. As time goes on I'm doing way more mixing off of the sequencer rather than on with those patch cables and a traditional mixer.

lmaoooo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju2KGJFst08 Fire Emblem, a 2003 Gameboy Advance Game from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, features a collection of heavily armored warriors engaging in combat to save their fantastical world from the forces of evil. Cut scenes between combat events are utilized to progress the story. Up to four characters are presented on screen from the chest up, in traditional role-playing game style as text bubbles appear above the one currently speaking. During these scenes, characters will blink intermittently. These blinking events are the driving force behind the Eyes modules. A hour long portion of the game was recorded using screen capture software. Processing was then used to count the milliseconds between each character's blinks to produce a data table. This data table was then uploaded as firmware to the Eyes module's microcontroller. The blinking LEDs are are perfect copies of the original blinks of the game's characters."

I have a Volca Sample, a Volca Bass and some terrible Roland drum machine. I'd like to control them over MIDI and mix them together, but the Volcas only have headphone outputs and the drum machine is the only one with a THRU/OUT port. My plan is to get a MIDI splitter box, and join together the headphone outputs with a DIY passive mixer. Is this sensible, or are there any drawbacks I'm not aware of?

I still have a microkorg that I rarely use. I'm really tempted to sell it for a poly 800 II and some cash. Worth it? Are there any sounds you can make with the poly that aren't 80s cheese? I love 80s cheese but I want to know if it's more versatile.

Volca's only get clock info and note on/off info via midi so any of the really fun stuff you can do with them still has to be done by hand. Also, if you only need one of them to receive clock (like the sample) you can send midi in to the one unit and then attach a sync cable between them without needing the midi splitter box.

Is there a guitar pedal or something that just outputs an ASDR envelope in response to a trigger? I'd like one to tie into my Moogerfooger I think the Dreadbox Epsilon would be what I'm looking for but none of the US distributors have it in stock so at this rate the only solution I see is a second Microbrute...

The sync cable sadly doesn't really work in my case, as I'd like to pass notes to the Bass as well. Additionally, both of them do have parameters that can be tweaked over MIDI.

It's all the worst things about 80s synths put together in one box AND sounds like poo poo. With the atomahawk upgrade it's MIDI automated poo poo. Its DCOs are square wave generators mixed together, one filter for all voices. I mean yeah chord memory. It's not the poor man's ESQ1. Unless you're getting it cheap and love PSG-sounding things I wouldn't bother. The microkorg is Cool And Good in comparison.

Speaking of Volcas, I'm currently trying to control my Volca Bass via an external keyboard using the Roland UM-One (USB keyboard-->PC-->UM-One-->MIDI in on Bass). When I try plugging the MIDI in cable into my Bass (MIDI channel is set to 1), nothing seems to happen when I play notes on the keyboard. However, when I attach the same cable to my Microbrute's MIDI in (also set to channel 1), I can play notes on the brute without issue. I've also got an old Yamaha TG100 (from the 90s) which plays fine via the same cable, so I don't think thats the issue. Any ideas what might be wrong here?

Off the top of my head, 1: check volume/cutoff that is, make sure the bass is actually producing sound. 2: They may have done their midi channel numbering as 0-15, so channel 1 is channel 2 to every thing else.
