You could also fake ratcheting on the volca keys if you close the filter, set the LFO to modulate the filter, turn LFO trigger sync on, and motion record the LFO rate. Saw or square LFO should work fine.

Or turn the tempo way down and manually record your ratchet pattern with flux mode on; flux mode actually just quantizes to 128 notes/bar iirc.

Thanks for the tip, yeah I've just been watching some youtube tutorials and this seems like the most straightforward way.

I''ve listened to hours of Tangerine Dream bootlegs recently and they seemed to improv the actual ratcheting patterns during their live shows.

decided i needed something with lots of knobs that i can mess around with while lying in bed, so i just ordered a minilogue. it's been awhile since i've had a proper keyboard instrument rather than just a controller so i'm pretty pumped.

As a fellow minilogue owner, I think you’ll find that it’s a super capable synth but a maybe a little too porky to take into bed with you. It’s definitely more of a tabletop synth than even something I’d comfortably play on my lap.

You’ll have to get a Microbrute too. Maybe a Boutique of some sort if you want something with a built-in speaker. Or an OP-1.

Went to the music store one town over today to have a look at the Drumbrute and discovered they had 10% off on everything today :toot: I almost bought a Keystep and a DJ controller and a second Microbrute (30% off!) as well but reason won out. This thing sounds super nice, no comparison at all to the Rhythm Wolf I sort of made do with until now.

I also had my first encounter with the Synth Nerd Without Boundaries that hangs around in every store. He started out helpful but then got into rapidly intensifying tall tales. I'm now reasonably well informed that "they have to have a structural engineer around every year" whereever there's either a Sub 37 or a pair of monitors of a brand I didn't catch, and that he moves in circles where synths and monitors cost €25,000 and 35,000, respectively. If I'd hung around him any longer I'm sure he would have told me about cables that cost a million € and required a structural engineer to come around every minute.

I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.
I was chatting with the local music store staff and they had the tales of the guy they eventually had to ban because all he'd do was endlessly talk at them about how sine waves were musically perfect and they were all you needed to make any music (yeah, I know, technically true because Fourier series, but practically impossible) and how everything in the store was junk and useless. Any sine waves set up on a synth for him to demonstrate this sine power was met with "those aren't *real* sine waves".

I'm not sure if the guy was mentally ill or just had his head that far up his own rear end and was trying to out-pedant them.

Im sure the dude was 100% insufferable but adding together sine waves is the somewhat common and 100% badass synthesis known as 'Additive'.

The advantage: you can control 1024 harmonics which allows you to make any sound you want

the minilogue loving rules, lads. all week long I have been making warm, fuzzy, thumping basslines. all I could wish for is a 32-step sequencer instead of 16.

my buddy just got a JX-03 to go with his MS-20 mini and now we're about to drop the tightest record since Boc Maxima

EDIT: also, buying a MIDI clock was an amazing idea and now all this loving gear works in sync

The sequencer on the Minilogue is bafflingly limited, apart from the ability to record parameter changes, but my biggest annoyance with it is the fixed arpeggiator resolution.

it makes me sad that it looks like Korg has already abandoned the Minilogue as far as firmware updates are concerned, not being able to turn off transport so it stops hitting the sequencer whenever i hit play in a DAW is annoying and the lack of transpose.

I also wish it had 32 steps or sub-steps, too. Generally speaking though, I can't think of too much I'd use the built-in sequencer for just because it's so limited. I think I'm more likely to just have it be controlled by MIDI all the time

I love my Mini but the transport/sequencer issue is annoying as hell. I was goofing around with the Mono setting last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the "fatness" of the low-end. I mean it certainly isn't a minimoog, but it still sounds great.

Yes, the Teletype can do a turing machine, digital or analog shift register, or anything else your heart desires.

All source code is on Github. Do whatever you want with it!

e: If you don't want the ability to program the behaviour on-the-fly, ornament + crime will do lots of stuff, too.

I think I've been drafted to join the band at my new job's Christmas party. The lady who organizes it said she saw me around and knew I had to be somewhat involved with music (still kind of pondering that one, actually), but they don't know I do synths yet. So far they have a violinist and flutist. Gonna be a different sort of Christmas this year I think.

Thanks dude! Yeah, those open 707 hats are super loud. Using all hardware I record and mix everything down at once so to change any details I have to go back and rerecord the entire track. By the time I decided to add that track to the album it was months after I made it so my setup was totally different, no way to edit. Tough spot but I like doing it that way.
