Haha. I'm happier buying from them than Amazon at least. Now if I could get them to import MFB stuff...

Also any further thoughts on pairing the afterneath with the subharm? The cv on the v3 seems like it adds a lot of value..

How does everyone handle their start/stops and resets with euro? I can never get everything to line up on downbeats, especially slow LFOs. Pamela's seems to be the only real tool at the moment.

Pamela's seems to be the only real tool at the moment. The Erica synth Drum Sequencer is my main sequencer/clock source. It has a reset output. My other sequencers (René 2 and Mimetic Digitalis) are driven by the Drum seq and have reset inputs, and so do my LFO (zone BF and Batumi). I'm not familiar with other sequencers but I think there are a lot of options in Eurorack to deal with start/stop and resets. I think even my tempi can be started/stopped and reset but it's not the module I master the most of the bunch.

Pamela's seems to be the only real tool at the moment. I usually use a master clock multed to all sequencers and a clock divided reset multed to all reset ins, if I'm doing standard 4/4 stuff. Sometimes I'll use a pp/brains t-gate in/t-clk out to reset everything on the next gate high. Some modules reset on the next clock rising edge after the reset trig while others consider the current clock high the downbeat. This can cause two sequencers to desync depending on what it considers the downbeat after a reset.

Got a Soma Ornament 8 recently, here's a video I made sequencing the Lyra 8 and Microfreak with it. Nonlinear sequencing is pretty confusing and chaotic but fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcYEqeMzOwA

Finally got my neutron yesterday, still loving around with it and learning about the patch bay but here's a little jam with the neutron and the volca drum (drum compression and reverb added in reaper). The patch is pretty straight forward with the sample and hold modulating osc1 shape and the lfo speed, but sounds pretty cool I think. Still can't get any cymbal sounds I love out of the volca. https://soundcloud.com/fieldbalm/neutron1/s-U3hTgolqfTQ

Been a minute, lol. I am as dead and gay as these very forums, yet I am posting still.magiccarpet posted:How does everyone handle their start/stops and resets with euro? I can never get everything to line up on downbeats, especially slow LFOs. Pamela's seems to be the only real tool at the moment. Dense logic modules are your friend in these cases. ANDs will make any LFO stay in time, you can fake a RUN with them, you can fake a stage/step reset with a flip-flop on whatever is faking RUN. New Pam does have extreme value especially with some of the very recent features. It has a god drat quantizer and basic sequencing now, ridiculous. The original is fantastic and cheaper if you don't need those. If I'm working with something that has that kind of need, I run DIN24 sync from the A4 for clock+run/stop and have a master reset button to move everybody to 1st stage/step.

Hey, question. Can anyone identify what the synth/keys and patch this might be. Its a huge sounding thing but Im baffled as to what it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ47K6GjYJM Specifically starting at 3:00

rtfm if it has a new user setup guide, follow all the tutorials. sequencers tend to have a bunch of features that you will never use and the ones that aren't used will vary user by user. be totally satisfied in learning how to do, like, one or two things a day. after a month you'll be a pro and still be able to look at the thing and be like, dang I still don't know what half the buttons do, cool that means I have a virtually endless fount of stuff to learn and figure out.

The Voice of Labor posted:rtfm Yea that's pretty badass to have a large feature set. My idea of a setup will be Digitone DX7 MegaFM, then I guess a Digitakt for (sampled) FM drums. Could get a VolcaFM I guess too since it's only $150. But I haven't even figured out the basics yet, so I guess that's number 1 priority.

Cheese Thief posted:I bought a Digitone and don't know how to loving use it. I picked one up last month, and have been slowly figuring it out. The manual is excellent, and definitely a good place to start. I've been getting a lot out of youtube tutorial videos also. This lengthy tutorial by Cuckoo also helped a lot, particularly after I had read the manual once. This Loopop review and explanation of FM synthesis was also handy. Red Means Recording also has a lot of good tutorial videos, and the one linked here seemed like a good place to begin with those. Finally, this guy named Ivar Tryti has some really great videos on youtube where he walks you through particular Digitone techniques in great detail, like making a full drum pattern on one track through various tricks with trigs, tutorials on leads and pads and on creating drum sounds. Tryti's videos in particular have been really interesting in terms of figuring out things to do with triggers and effects that I wouldn't have come up with just from reading the manual, and he explains those techniques very clearly.

anyone here an ios superpro? i need a lightning 3.5mm splitter dongle so i can midi keyboard in, synth app audio out to mixer. there’s tons of cheap ones on amazon but they’re marketed specifically for charging, which means there’s a good chance they won’t have the lightning pins needed for midi. and yes i am fully aware that my old android phone was usb-c plug and play with a 3.5mm jack, but it doesn’t have Moog apps so edit, I found this, looks like it ticks all the boxes, hopefully it's not the kind of offbrand that falls apart immediately https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z61HMCG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A23KOF0PZ0IYGF&psc=1 bees x1000 fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Nov 4, 2020 |

It's supposed to be better than the original? Not sure where I'd find one. Not really ready to jump into the eurorack clubhouse, but it does look really cool. You can post a picture of your setup if you want.

Put a new faceplate from graydon audio on my neutron today (the quality is pretty bad to be honest, hoping I just got a dud - I'll be emailing them about it) but there is no denying this looks much better than the original cheesy red!

The official Apple camera connection kit, with usb and lightning bolt (just for charging while you use it), plays audio both ways and midi both ways to everything I’ve used it with, which is admittedly just my model: Samples, the Digitakt and my Steinberg interface and e-mu midi controller. Obviously doesn’t send audio to the midi controller, but yeah I can play synth apps with AUM and send 8 MIDI tracks to it sequenced on the Digitakt or whatever and then have them play through the Digitakt so I can hear it through it’s headphone jack and also record it simultaneously on the iPhone/iPad. It also works with a v cheap MIDI hub, but whatever gear you’re using has to have class compliant USB, like the Elektron boxes do, but even then, it seems to work with everything I’ve tried it with. If not, I know it might be a pain, but you can plug in an interface and whatever else you want to use, and it’ll still least send MIDI to a synth or MIDI from iOS to an app, etc. it seems, like it also worked with the Deepmind 12. I don’t know about that one in the Amazon link, but you shouldn’t need the 3.5 mm output.

Not really ready to jump into the eurorack clubhouse, but it does look really cool. You can post a picture of your setup if you want. I think the SwinSID is more meant to be sustainable than better. People gutting old Commodore 64s for the SID chips became a sour spot for retro computer collectors, the SwinSID sounds good enough and you're not neutering an old computer to use it. Depending on the ebb and flow of the market, there are times a SwinSID is much cheaper, too. I also recommend checking with whoever you're buying it from, it might come shipped with a SwinSID already on board and save you cash. Here's my Eurorack setup.  I'm currently shopping for a good permanent enclosure. I've got a bunch of modules not on the rack right now, I ran out of space. I'm thinking around 800 HP should keep me good for years. With this setup now I've added maybe 2-3 modules a year, and they have all been gifts from other people. Chainclaw fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Nov 4, 2020 |

My brain can't quite compute the idea of getting modules as a gift though, most people in my life are a little afraid/suspicious of my knobs-and-cable hobbies

The OP-Z and Magic Leap both work with the Unity game engine, so I can make a game that you play by making music on the OP-Z and having the game react to that.
