Kind of excited this evening, bought a pair of what I thought were terminals but turned out to be whole systems, with capacitive touchscreens and quad celeron processors, essentially as powerful as a good tablet. They have NT 6.4 installed. I dl'd the Win 10 drivers. I think I might skip setting up a headless m8 tracker and maybe try playing with these instead. Or I could just put one VST on each one. So many possibilities.



At any rate I'm not settled in yet, things are very scattered and hectic and I haven't even set up my stereo yet. I hope to make some more noises for you guys and dolls sometime soon.

It's a good one to check back in with every couple of years. for a while the dot com row was several x the truck but actually it might have flipped back again over the past two. though w/ synthesizers.com shuttering...

man, I hadn't heard about this for some reason. Like maybe 13 or 14 years ago my wife got me the Synthesizers.com module of the month starter set. Everything they did was so fantastically made. I absolutely to this day enjoy patching the dotcom so much more than my Eurorack gear just because of how great everything FEELS. Sounds really good too.

This just made me really sad. I have an empty slot sitting there I had been hemming and hawing about for months on whether or not I wanted an Osc+ or some of their other newer stuff. Guess I'll just have to find another 5U maker to finish it. Oh well.

Yeah one of my favorite ways to throw together something funky on the fly is to use the Euclidean option in Bitwig's note repeat device and then hook a random modulator to the note density. Gives you a constantly shifting syncopated rhythm, and since you can throw those elements into independent drum slots on the Drum Machine you can pick which parts are doing it.

If anyone in here does iOS stuff, my favorite euclidean implementation is the Euclidean app from 4pockets. It's not just the circle thing we're all used to but it can randomize melodies and a bunch of midi cc's so it's a one stop shop for hitting a button and letting the computer make you a song.

I liked that paper a lot because I get infinitely more out of implementing algorithms like that by hand as I program a sequencer than I do by any generators. Approaching this stuff humanistically I think is an important element in the analysis.

I get that, but sometimes I don't want to think about the song, just the sound design. That's when I pull out the Euclidean generator and hit the random button, the enjoyment that evening comes from building an instrument set that fits it.

Then I either move on or convert the sequence to a piano roll for hand adjustment. But usually I just enjoy the groove for a bit and forget about it.

I'm using Bitwig too, but I wanted something where multiple drum parts could play without playing over one another, so I used the note grid.

I know I keep saying it, but I can't get enough of pairing o_C's Harrington 1200 with the Acid Rain Chainsaw for weird chord progression madness. It's how this came into being: https://rocketmermaid.bandcamp.com/track/fernweh

Also pairing Viznutcracker, Sweet! with a LPG and some modulation can make some crazy chip/noise percussion: https://soundcloud.com/rocketmermaid/nerve-reactor

Ooh. I used primarily chopping kinky, modulated by an envelope follower and a couple lfos to mess up Lament of Orpheus from the Hades soundtrack.

Oh drat that's cool! I keep telling myself that one of these days I'll learn the Grid in depth but I seem to never run out of goofy poo poo to do just with ridiculously complex FX routing and modulation, and just never really sit down to start learning.

I just love how flexible Bitwig is and how easy it is to package things up for reuse. I have a semi-regular weird noise jam with some friends and basically what I do is spend a few weeks making patches and sampler instruments that I promptly forget, and then pull them up when we get together and go "what the gently caress is th-oh hey that is neat". I've got quite a large library of weird noises and effects chains now.

e: As an example that is very on topic, yesterday I had the idea of using the Note FX Selector with round robin and note repeats so that any chord you play will be split up so that each note gets its own Euclidean rhythm with a different density. The result is a sort of weird syncopated arpeggiator. Not sure what I'll use it for, but now I've got it packaged up and ready to throw into whatever.

Speaking of euclidean rhythms I used the cardinal vst in reaper with the polygene module feeding into the midi notes. I used it to control some drums from kontak it needs some tweaking but it's a good start.

I use that module in vcv rack for drums alot if you use a polyphonic merge module before it and a polyphonic split after you can get each drum on its own "channel" with different rhythms off of one clock.

Think I might know the answer, but I'll solicit some recommendations from here anyway. I've been recording some patches from VCV, each recording being like 10-20 minutes long, and my intent is to plunder them for good samples - e.g. a cool ambient background, a dope drum loop, a weird SFX. Is there a recommended tool for this? Renoise is okay for sample processing, but I wish it was easier to specify the BPM of a sample and snap slice markers to beats, since a lot of stuff in my patches runs off of clock.

If you have it, Ableton can be nice. It detects bpm decently enough as long as your recording has a strong beat and doesn't change tempo. Or just write your tempo in the filename when exporting from VCV and manually match it in the DAW. The killer feature is that you can bind a key to the "set marker" function. Then you listen to your whole set and just press your button every time you come to something you want to slice up later. I think you can even get the markers to stick to the note grid.

Audacity has a couple tools that might help, it has a beat finder (that I think kind of sucks, but maybe I don't know how to use it) and a "label sounds" option that looks for gaps in audio and sets up selections based on silent gaps in the file. So if your file has no gaps it probably won't work, but it's still worth keeping in mind.

I hate recommending Audacity, using it is all pain, but it does tend to do just about everything one needs to edit a wav fileat a basic level.

All right. It's Saturday night; I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

audacity is really good for direct recording of your outboard mix and running normalize on it and exporting that as a wav file, that's what I use it for any way

The one problem with that is that I modulated the clock at some point :v:

I have Audacity and I’ve used it before, it’s fine for smaller things. Ableton I should really get into considering how commonly used it is now, and to get used to non-tracker DAWs.

I’ll take a look!
