Sizone posted: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. Volume and cutoff are working, I can play notes fine while using the attached ribbon controller. According to the midi implementation, it starts at channel 1 so I'm a bit at a loss as to why it won't work.

Looking at the manual, "midi rx short message" maybe under the specifying global parameters heading.

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...

Should I get an sh-201 for 200$ Is it right for me to get an sh-201? Mostly I want it so the baby can have something with knobs to gently caress up until she's old enough to play the jx-3p without loving it up.

Crossposting from the 'How do I get a particular sound' thread. I'm enjoying the hell out of my Arturia KeyLab 61 so far, it seems to be built like a tank and it made it through the first show with it (and my first show ever on keys of any sort) well enough. Still pouring over this entire thread as well as reading anything I can find about how to effectively use one of these things. Anyway, to the point, can anyone help me figure out how to recreate the sound at the beginning of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NZsCYOM4j0 (Stabbing Westward, 'Save Yourself'). I'm on OS X with Logic Pro X, MainStage and the KeyLab suite (if that matters). (As an aside, I ended up setting my rig up in a weird way so my KeyLab runs through my AxeFx in order to share my Kaoss Pad and holy poo poo using it all together sounds evil as poo poo, it's awesome.)

The "bwee uh bw bw bw bwee uh" noise? I'd do it with a wavetable synth with a vocal wavetable, but uhhhh... that's sort of my synth stock and trade so I'm a little biased. If you need a less specialized way to recreate it, look into resonant bandpass filters. If you have a phoneme/vowel sound kind of sample based oscillator you can feed that filter, so much the better. fake edit: TALK BOX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9D-kUEp03c Sizone fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Jun 10, 2015 |

So today I got an old Windows Vista machine off craigslist. Why, you ask? So that I can read and write disks in the bizarre proprietary GEM S2R format. I was successful, but now I'm faced with two problems. First, I need to find something like isobuster to explorer and alter the contents of the .img file the disk reader program saves to the pc (and figure out where in the mess the tuning files are). Secondly, and probably more importantly, I need to figure out why I do this kind of poo poo to myself and figure out some way to stop doing this to myself. Mastery of old hardware for its own sake, for the sake of fanciness, used to be a lot more fun. The shitness of the ASR-X has ruined it for me though. I no longer get pleasure in doing arcane studies and rituals in order to wrangle synths. I....I think I'm about ready to do everything using Reaktor and maybe my iPad.

Mr. Glass posted:i put together a synthrotek vca kit tonight. it was a lot of fun, highly recommended There's a local prayer circle forming for the local modular establishment's shipment of Clouds - last time only one arrived (and it apparently went to Deadmau5) so people are getting nervous that there won't be enough to fill preorders this batch. I lucked out and got Elements at a discount after some guy got cold feet about his shiny new rack of modules.

I lucked out and got Elements at a discount after some guy got cold feet about his shiny new rack of modules. yeah, MI stuff seems to be in pretty high demand (and for good reason, it's awesome). my favorite mode on Braids is "pluk" and Elements looks to be that but expanded out into a full-blown module, so i'm pretty excited to try it i like Braids a lot but i don't like that the timbre/color knobs mean totally different things on different modes, since switching modes means i typically have to re-patch any modulation sources that go into those.

Flipperwaldt posted:I've got a usb floppy drive, though something rattles in the back of my brain that support (microsoft drivers) for such a device stopped after Windows 7, I'm not sure. But on 7 it worked to the point of being drive A: and everything. WRONG. Omniflop won't work with usb floppy drives at all. Also, I've never really been able to read or format or write to, even normally formatted, floppys properly with a usb drive. I ended up needing to use the mac g4 to format and write the floppy used to update the asr-x firmware. By contrast, my new vintage vista box has read and formatted everything I've thrown at it with no problems.

I no longer get pleasure in doing arcane studies and rituals in order to wrangle synths. For people of my old man's age, it was steam trains and model railroads. They would buy track and switches and order the locomotives and carriages from Germany (just like modules) and best of all have a real model steam engine that you had to fill the boiler with water and put a fire under it and all that. The came the guys that collect PDP12's and spend ages getting them and old mainframes in general to do their thing. Now there's people fixing up old 70's synthesisers... and 80's games... and 90's websites... And I say God bless the whole lot of them for maintaining all this old crap because it keeps a variety of experiences and ideas alive you don't get from the State of The Art. Yes, it's a pain to figure out all this old crap, but no matter how trivial it seems now, it preserves something. I'm thinking how vinyl is now a growing thing, and yet there's only two people left in the world that know how to make acetate blanks...

Mod wheels are universally easy to fix. It's just a potentiometer with a wheel mounted on it. Novation is still in business so replacement parts should be easy to get. You'd be scrapping a synth for, at most, 20$ in parts and 2 hours of labor. Labor which, if you can't do yourself, you need to reevaluate your life and priorities.

Last time I tried, I couldn't get the drat thing open with all the screws out. And it's an encoder not a pot but same idea. Guess I'll have to call Focusrite and see about the part.
