Agreed posted:I mean the Oxygen Pro 49 from M-Audio that I just unplugged to ship it back had among it's pros a very sturdy feeling USB-B plug. May disappoint elsewhere. Sturdy enclosures has always been a major selling point for a lot of M-Audio gear. Too bad about their driver support, though.

If you put usbc on my midi controller I will physically manifest in your house and make you solder in a new port when it inevitably gets broken

brand engager posted:If you put usbc on my midi controller I will physically manifest in your house and make you solder in a new port when it inevitably gets broken The specification talks about that, the ports need to handle some specific wrenching force to get certified. The cables are supposed to break before the port as well. I assume usb-a and usb-b did that too but I'm not gonna dig up the spec sheet to compare differences. I have no doubt that the wrench threshold is not enough to deal with us humans being idiots or vendors cheating the tests but if you take the usb group's words at face value, this is not a problem!

petit choux posted:kudos for using bitwig, haven't heard that word for a while. It's so good, it's a shame that adoption has been so slow. I actually bought Ableton Suite about a year ago when it was on sale but I still haven't really gotten into it because I like Bitwig's workflow so much. I'm pretty sure there's nothing Bitwig can do that Ableton can't, but the workflow for modulators, operators (new), and MPE is just so intuitive and seamless. At some point I do need to force myself to sit down with some tutorials and really get used to Ableton, though, because it's kinda the industry standard and it's just sitting there mocking me for having bought it.

Tayter Swift posted:Apparently we can add Moog to the list of lovely companies. Goddammit Moog. Same poo poo (weaponizing things told in confidence, casual and targeted misogyny, management creating new management positions for problematic dudes, old-boys-club bullshit, fake diversity) happens at Sweetwater, and most of the women there who get tired of it end up just leaving, because Fort Wayne sucks poo poo besides. But loving Moog? C'mon, y'all. Incidentally, HR is 100% not your friend, and I get tired of telling people this. If you have a problem do NOT go to HR. Take it to a manager and if they don't do anything, start documenting everything and look for a new job. Double incidentally, apparently I'm in the same circles as the EIC of the Asheville Blade (a somewhat unfortunate title given the nature of the story.) Small world.

Wait the digitakt doesn’t have slicing? Do you just trim samples and copy paste them?

A MIRACLE posted:Wait the digitakt doesn’t have slicing? Do you just trim samples and copy paste them? You can kind of slice. You can do the normal trimming of a sample with Start/End points and cut. You can also set start end points on a sample in multiple spots, so you are essentially playing slices of a sample and assign those to keys. You can go even further and do parameter locks of start/end points of the sample for every step in a sequence. Which nothing else does AFAIK. It just doesn't do like the MPC where it auto slices, and then you can export each slice as it's own sample. It's not really a deal breaker for anything I do, personally. An example. You have a 30 second long sample that contains kick, snare, hihat. You can assign it to voice #1, and set the start end at 0 and 10 seconds for just the kick. Then on voice #2 you can set the same sample with start/end of 10 and 20 for snare, and finally voice #3 you set the same sample to use start/end for 20 and 30. You have 3 voices assigned to different keys with their own sequence available. You could chop those out and save them individually, up to you. Since the Digitakt only allows 8 voices, you can start cheating. You can take that sample, put it on voice 1, and say you want your kick on steps 8 and 16, so you turn on steps 8 and 16, then you set the start/end for those at 0 and 10 seconds so you only get the kick sound. Now you want snares on steps 4 and 12 so you turn on steps 4 and 12, then set the start/end to 10 and 20 so you just get the snare part of the sample playing on those steps. It can get crazy, and you can cut other samples if they overlap, but people have used this technique to make crazy drum and bass stuff by taking advantage of the cutoffs from sample overlap. There are a few youtubers who take this to the next level and its nuts. Philthy fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Jun 16, 2021 |

I never had much luck with the auto slice on the octatrack (probably because I'm always ripping dirty vinyl) and did all my slice points by hand, this doesn't sound too different. the auto slice on my Erica sample drum is pretty magical however. I get wacky results with it but its always very musical

Yeah, the Digitakt is it's own thing. I would categorize it as a sample-based instrument. Period. I wouldn't call it a sampler nor a drum machine, because it does both of those at a very basic level. What it does beyond that is the meat of the machine, and it's truly its own instrument with one of the biggest toolboxes of crazy manipulations I've ever seen. A lot of Elektron's devices are like that, you can't take them at face value.

So it's already happening! It also has a usb-a port for connecting midi controllers.

New Digitakt upgrades rule, now I’m sort of glad I didn’t get the Octatrack mki instead! I literally said something like, I just wish it had more than one LFO and a mixer for the USB and stereo inputs and a filter more like the Digitone’s. Updating now!
