Dotcom Jillionaire posted:Yes but the audio interface isn't a microphone, hence, DSP processing That setting is just for decoding a mid/side microphone configuration. So, yes, it's DSP processing, but no, it's not "giving you more headroom". You're getting all kinds of weird phase issues when decoding a non-M/S encoded input, especially because you indicate you were juicing the stereo width.

Use the ES-4 Voice Controller plugin. It's designed specifically for the ES-4. Watch the videos on the Expert Sleepers site.

First, this has always been a stupid debate and always will be. Second, there are a lot of misconceptions about early DCOs vs current DSP oscillators. A DCO (like, from the '80's) are ramp-core analog oscillators, they just use a microprocessor to control the waveform reset which was handled by a comparator circuit in a "pure" analog VCO. In a VCO, the sawtooth wave was compared to a reference voltage. Once the sawtooth exceeded the ref voltage, the comparator triggered the reset. A VCO poly has the (to some) pleasant drift simply because sometimes the comparator or the reference voltage source drifts. Now your waveforms don't reset at the same time and you have "fat". The part of the circuit in the DCO that creates the waveform is still analog, the circuit that waveshapes the ramp-out to create a square, triangle, and sine out are still analog. Some VCOs sound thin and lovely, some DCOs sound thin and lovely, some DSP oscillators sound huge and amazing. Judge an oscillator on its own merits not architecture.

mrbradlymrmartin posted:i wasnt even saying its a misnomer, just that the definitions stretching over time, like how bbd delays are called analog despite being discrete in time. certainly modern cpus can clock a cap fast enough to give even better control of pitch. personally i find it depends on the music. real live vcos make drone so much more exciting, just as correct intonation makes hooks hooky. It really looks like you're hung up on discrete-time vs continuous-time re: a very pedantic interpretation of analog vs digital. Also, my Piston Honda would like to have a word with whatever 100% analog VCO you want to throw against it in a drone-off.

Bolange posted:Since we're talking Eurocrack.....What would you guys suggest as a quality meaty oscillator? I already have a Braids and a Tides but I'd like to add at least one more sound generator into the rack. I'm not looking to drop $800 on an oscillator but it would be nice if it had some decent cv control (pwm, ability to be FMed, etc). Primary use will be layer with the other for thick drones. This is what I'm working with currently: I love my TTA Z3000 MK2. Super stable, linear and expo fm, hard and soft sync, pwm, built in waveshaper for the sine a tri waves, beefy waves. Good stuff. It's a great meat-and-potatoes-with-a-little-hot-sauce analog osc.

Mr. Glass posted:modular chat: so i have a tiptop Z8000 as the sequencer for my modular and i think i kind of hate it, but that probably just means i don't understand how to use it correctly. Well, with only one quantizer (I'm assuming you're using the Disting for that), you're only going to be able to quantize one voltage. That's just the way the cookie crumbles. You have the Pitts MIDI-3 midi->converter. Set that to DUO mode and you would get a second quantized melody. Use the second channel gate out from the MIDI-3 to create a clock that syncs with the channel 1 timing, or just use the external midi clock output. Use one of those to drive the uStep which in turn would clock the Z8000 (or you can skip the uStep and just use the gate out directly, but with the uStep you have control over the pattern from the modular). The power of the Z8000 is that it's not just 8 or 16 voltages in a linear sequence like a more traditional analog sequencers. Mult your clock outs to the reset and direction inputs to create interesting semi-random note sequences. Use the second half of the ustep to do the same. To really open the Z8000 to its fullest potential, you'll want logic modules or additional clock dividers/multipliers. Alternatively, you could trade the Z8000 for something like a Rene which you can easily set up to do more "normal" sequencing. It also has a built in quantizer and clock logic features so you don't need to immediately invest in other clock/logic sources.

breaks posted:Keep in mind that Rene also has fewer outputs so you're still at least in a nearby boat as far as the number of quantized cvs you're getting. I'm not sure I understand your point here. The Metropolis still only has one pitch out. The Rene has a quantized and an unquantized out. You can lock the quantized values, use the location pots to change the cv value for the unquantized out, run the unquantized out to an external quantizer, and get two melody lines. I made these demos when I first got the Rene. Anytime you hear two melody lines playing at the same time, it's from the Rene QCV and UqCV (into a Doepfer A-156) out. There are no overdubs. https://soundcloud.com/oldstench/reneday

breaks posted:Sorry I didn't mean to imply that the metropolis had more quantized outs, just that I personally prefer it. The Rene can do some cool tricks for sure though, I have one (but plan to sell it.) For melodies I think the Rene is better if you like devices that you can set up to kind of generate their own material, and Metropolis is better at being kind of sequencer clay that the user can push around. I like the Rene for that reason, but you can also easily set it up to be a more traditional sequencer. That being said, the Metropolis is rad as hell, and I want to get one someday. I just need to stop buying other things...

No. The transformer on the power supply can get a bit warm, but not the modules. It looks like he's using a switching power supply, so he's got a brick or wall-wart out of the picture. Most of the heat would be generated there. If you have a linear psu mounted inside the case (like Doepfer and Monorocket do), they'll be attached to the back either using the case as a large heatsink, or with a heatsink attached.

A Winner is Jew posted:How is that compared to Alchemy? I'd consider it a desert island softsynth, especially after the upgrades that come with 2. It's a hybrid rompler/softsynth with some ridiculous modulation capabilities. You can mix two sample banks, or a single sample and a generated waveform, or two generated waveforms and mangle the poo poo out of them. The sounds are great, the effects are great, the filters are great. The new version allows you to add your own sounds, and they upped the generated waveshapes from 5 to like 500 wavetables. It's a good synth imho. Here's the updates version intro video. It'll show you some of what it can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbpqdaLO-WI
