I bought the world's cheapest Behringer mixer a few years ago, and it decided to recently stop outputting one of the stereo channels. I was incensed. I paid like twenty five dollars for this thing. ULI!!!! Also I understand what people are saying about multinational corporations being generally garbage no matter what/no ethical consumption etc., but I would personally prefer not to encourage garbage behavior with my literally one hundred and nine dollars. Jesus I guess when it's that cheap who the gently caress cares. further edited to further say: I don't understand why some colors of the TD-3 are $110 and some are $130 maybe it's just a stock issue with sweetwater where the ugly colors aren't moving. Unless there's some secret functionality in the slightly pricier clones of which I'm not aware. captainOrbital fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jan 18, 2021 |

I paid like twenty five dollars for this thing. That’s way cheaper than they are anywhere else. AMS has most colors incoming (blueberry in stock) for $149, same as silver. The RD-6 is $179, again in all colors. Maybe that’s the difference you’re seeing?

spent some time playing with the SQ-1 today. I still can't seem to perfectly match my CV values to the CV-in range on the sample drum. it gets pretty close but I can't quite reach the 0th slice index with the CV-slice feature. but it works nominally at least lol. Going through some old records, a lot of them are on their last legs and have been played to death. trying to give them some more life before I retire them https://soundcloud.com/natively/when-you-find A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Am I understanding correctly that you can't reach the first slice (should be 0V?) with the CV from the SQ-1? Have you tried the different CV ranges of the SQ-1 ? Otherwise you might need to add a small negative offset through another module e: reading the drum sample manual it also looks like you can change the expected CV range for the CV inputs: quote:You can also adjust the CV input range by holding SHIFT and rotating the encoders A, B and C. You might need to play a bit with this too maybe. Is it set to 1V/Oct and Slice:INDEX? That would make things easy since you may then set the SQ-1 to Chroma and 5V or 2V depending on the number of slices SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 10:58 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Thanks The SQ-1 CV range can be changed on the fly to be like this (as written on the front) 0-1V 0-2V 0-5V 0-8V The first 3 can be set to V/Oct with chromatic, minor or major scale, or no quantizing (linear)

I can get the full cv sweep with 5V on the SQ-1 and the 0-5V setting on the sample drum CV in. I'll see about whether chroma or linear behaves nicer in practice \/\/\/ that makes sense, its' fiddly as hell on linear. I sampled some other tracks from this Isley bros record so I'll try again later A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jan 20, 2021 |

I'll see about whether chroma or linear behaves nicer in practice If I understand correctly, it'll be easier to configure the Sample Drum to accept V/oct for slice selection and set the SQ-1 to chromatic quantizing. That way the SQ-1 sends the exact CV value for each slice. Then you could even use a keyboard or any sequencer to trigger slices. Also you could use the 2 CV tracks of the SQ-1 to control 2 different samples in the Drum Sample since it has 2 inputs/outputs. But then it'll be 2*8steps instead of 1*16 steps e: ^^^^^ Yeah it was me who told you to set the SQ-1 to linear because I didn't know the sample drum accepts V/Oct.

Quick question for anyone who has used the behringer 303 to sequence external gear via cv: does it output the portamento/slew over cv or is that part of the sound engine? Local store is getting rid of them for like half price or something.

I knew the pads on the MPC One were smaller than normal MPC pads but I don't think I was really prepared for how small they are in person

Ordered a black one to sequence the modular - came out a decent chunk cheaper than an sq1 and now I can use it as a 303 for my Drexciya larping too.

Man I thought I’d sworn off hardware synths aside from my one row of euro but the modwave from that batch of new Korg poo poo is making me think about it. Looks like a really fun synth at a pretty reasonable price.

The side panel is still missing on this side and I had to put new knobs on but it appears to be 100% now. I got this Elka Rhapsody 610 and Yamaha Motif the same way. I changed the fuses on the Elka and it works beautifully.  The yamaha has a bunch of bad switches that I need to tear into it to fix. It's about 80% working at the moment.

analog, samples, and effects with individual outs? man if the sampling capability and workflow is reasonable, add this to the list of drum machines/samplers that i kinda want but can never bring myself to commit to, hope the snare sounds better than what’s in the clip in the final version SpaceGoatFarts posted:Little jam using mostly the Make Noise shared system this is great! how much planning and prearrangement goes into something like this vs live improvised knob twiddling?

Pillow Face posted:this is great! how much planning and prearrangement goes into something like this vs live improvised knob twiddling? Thanks! Usually there's not much planning involved besides recording with a patch I've just been jamming with for an hour or more. I always start with the techno system mostly prepatched as a drum machine and the remaining cases blank. Then I start patching a few voices and build from there, trials and errors until I like it. The sequences are often not planned at all. René is great for picking a few notes, turning knobs and letting something nice emerge. Then since I mostly use basic melodic loops I can settle for one I like and start twiddling, removing notes or gates, playing with filters, envelopes and effects. This was the resulting patch.  After I keep having fun with it for an hour, adding drums and refining things like levels and automation. Eventually I hit record and improvise based on the recent session, trying to condense things into a track, so much shorter and trying to keep things moving all the time. So it's mainly about having fun and recording something when I feel it's worth it. So probably 10%-20% of the patches I make. SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 22, 2021 |

I mean, I guess I kind of get it, but it seems absolutely atrocious to knowingly lock away garbage that someone else can make use of, and guarantee it making GBS threads up a landfill just out of spite/because they might make a little mess.

That's why it you do this you leave no trace of having been there. I've actually talked to the guys where I go about it they don't care if it's gone in there they are getting paid by insurance or the manufacturer for a defective product so they already got their money.
