Tatumje posted:I can't test it at the moment, but Analog should be able to track lfo to pitch. I think is "rate>key" or some similarly named parameter. Hmm. I'm not seeing it. I can change how much the LFO affects the pitch (LFO under Pitch Mod), but I can't see any way of affecting the LFO with keyboard tracking...

Massive definitely does it. There's a (yellow) mod source of the note value, lower right quadrant

Mr. Sharps posted:Man if I had to do that I would just sell the thing for parts and use the cash toward something cool like a standalone module (dreadbox erebus maybe?) that fills the same sort of role. Then again, I was never hugely enamored with the sound of my microbrute. I wound up selling it to a bassist friend who now uses it on his pedalboard. Yeah I'm pretty sure it's going to go bye-bye once it's back working. If something breaks with minimal use and movement within 4 months you begin to wonder whether it's just a toy and not an instrument (it breaks the illusion atleast). Now that they're additionally utterly unresponsive, I'll be riveting that coffin shut.

Popcorn posted:Bitchin'. Got it. Thanks. Hmm. I'm not sure this LFO was affecting the pitch but the amplitude. Sheesh, this stuff is still just out of my comprehension. Putting aside how to recreate it, can anyone confirm what's happening on the Prophet 600 itself in the video clip? I'm just curious.

I stepped on my BSP's power cable a month ago and knocked it on the floor. I was really lucky that the socket remained intact. The pads and knobs feel a little loose now, but everything seems to function. I doubt I could get away with that again.

Speaking of such things, I just got my machinedrum and this thing is like a boat anchor, heavy af. Feels like a solid piece of aluminum with buttons poking out of it. I was worried about dropping a grand on a drum machine but I'm loving it so far. Does the rest of Elektron's stuff share the same build quality?

Nice bent metal cases, thick plastic on the switch caps. People complain about the wiggly feel of the encoders but I haven't had to replace one yet. The Monomachine's joystick was fragile af, A4's is chunkier but less precise. I'd rather traditional wheel pair personally.

I'm really intrigued by it, but it's hard to justify for me, since I never move my gear and in theory could control everything from Live just as easily as getting a dedicated hardware sequencer/whatever. But I'd love to get away from living in a DAW. That said, I still don't totally "get" sequencers in the same way I understand DAWs, similar to what somebody was saying a day or two ago. On that subject, what's a good way to get a feel for a more traditional sequencer workflow? I've got Live, like I said, but I have barely used it and I won't have a chance to sink much time into it for a while. I also have an iPad, if there's a good sequencer to learn with. Basically I just don't have any experience with that workflow and could do with some training wheels.

I'm currently about 3 weeks in trying without success to get an RMA for my Rytm that no longer starts successfully despite it sitting on my desk since getting it a few months ago, so I'm not super impressed with Elektron at this point tbh. After several attempts I got as far as the diag menu where it shows an error code on the FPGA. Oh joy! Elektron have a ticket system on their website which is apparently totally disconnected from a separate repair service in LA, who I assume was outsourced. The ticket system has been very nice to deal with, whereas I've had total silence trying to contact the repair office for the last two weeks (per the instructions provided by the ticket).

I'm really intrigued by it, but it's hard to justify for me, since I never move my gear and in theory could control everything from Live just as easily as getting a dedicated hardware sequencer/whatever. But I'd love to get away from living in a DAW. It's interesting, a different paradigm than I'm used to. It's more like live in that sequences are really more like 'clips' that are launched rather than patterns turned into chains, or a linear sequence. The song mode just tracks mute groups. This makes it very quick to use but would make a set require some careful planning, sequencer stops when loading a project. I picked it up to explore the euclidean mode mostly. Its MIDI fx are great, not unlike some of the ones on the RM1x/RS7k but realtime. Step input, everything is x0x-style and they get around the 16-step limitation by letting you zoom in and out and then 'paging' back and forth through your sequence. The good- base functions easy to grok even with just the quickstart overlay, CV IN destination can affect MIDI out, xy pad, SD card for saves, light but chassis seems sturdy. Company seems very motivated to continually improve the OS. Even in the couple months I've had it they've added features. The bad- the entire face is a thick vinyl overlay, even the LCD and touchpad cover, I'm sure it's much cheaper to manufacture that way but... I'm also not too confident in the protection on the CV IO- MIDI clocking SQ1 driving the modular, CV out clocking a sequencer in the modular made the thing just reboot. That said, haven't hit up support to get it sorted yet. The meh- EVERYTHING is a two-button chord to mode switch and requires loads of use of that one push-button encoder knob. Really should be a big jog wheel further from the screen. Pads are squishy rubber but aren't velocity sensitive. They do feel great but I'd prefer regular switches if I can't have velocity.

Electribe land is blowing up, Korg added undo and pattern chaining to the new updates. It's still kinda gimpy for a song mode, but 10,000 times better than none at all. They also released red and blue versions too, for nostalgia.

Moog is making the Minimoog Model D again. $3.75K pricetag, limited production. I've never owned a hardware synth before, but I enjoy experimenting with VSTs - would it be better to try and scrap together the money for a  -inducing piece of kit like this or the Virus, or should I look around for a budget model and learn its ins and outs to get an idea of the differences between hardware and softsynths before making a massive investment? Either way I'm not putting down money on anything until I can afford it and I'm better at getting the sounds I want out of my softsynths.

I'd definitely take a Voyager or Sub-Phatty over a Model D. I played around with one of the prototypes of the new Model D at GearFest and was super underwhelmed. As it stands we have a Little Phatty SE II and two Mothers; most of my Moog lust is sated. (But dat Voyager XL is still hottttt)

I'll probably do my homework on the Sub Phatty versus the Sub 37 and pick up one of those when I'm ready to put together an actual studio setup.

The regular Sub Phatty is nice but there's so much more on the Sub-37. All the controls I wish the LP had on the front panel, plus some more.

On the S37, you want the second revision with the filter fixes - but yeah, it's much more of an everyday synth than the Model D. Relatively, though, both are pretty situational. I'd get more mileage out of something like an OB-6 if we're talking $2000+.

just get a x0xb0x, not as flexible as the D but its got an equally classic sound (beautiful filters, though a bit rougher) and for the price you can get a couple plus a midipal for polyphony (!!!) acid chords

I thought maybe it overheated but I couldn't get any other signal through the fire wire cord (from my hard drive for example), then today I plugged it out and in and no issues recording. It's a MOTU 828 Mk1 I got very used, running through a Thunderbolt adapter - which should work, until it doesn't anyway (going by other people's experiences).
