Rageaholic Monkey posted:Here you go. First there's some hot vocoder action and some "chubby bass", and then comes the main event: cows and frogs making love to each other passionately throughout the night. This is glorious. Definitely more frog than cow I hear, can that be edited? As I was listening to this I got a bunch of alert messages from work so I think that enhanced the experience.

Question for those with Elektron gear, is saving patterns different from saving kits? I'm having difficulty grasping the concept on my Machinedrum. To my understanding you can create your kits but the pattern you have on when you save it is not saved. If I wanted to save the pattern I would have to create a song using the kit instead. Am I understanding this correctly?

I didn't know that they were getting into the modular game? I guess that was a fun tease of them showing the Curtis filter eurorack module. It's definitely an interesting synth and I think I'd prefer it over the Sub37 not that I'll be buying either anyways...

So on a similar DSI note, I'm thinking of replacing my Mopho but I'm not sure what monosynth would be similar and have as much functionality. I dig the Mopho but the menu diving drives me mad (and don't say use the editor because it's frustrating too). Suggestions on similar synths? What I liked most about the Mopho was the flexibilty it had thanks to the DCO's. In the end I may try and just sell it to get the keyboard version of it tbh. e: No System-1 please I don't need to scatter myself TIA.

When trying to MIDI sync between my Machinedrum and Ableton the timing is off and seems to be doubled going either way. Anyone have a Machinedrum and is syncing with Ableton or vice versa and is syncing? Googling around I see that bad MIDI timing is something that's common with syncing these devices (mostlyon Ableton's end). If I can't get this to work I may end up going computerless and just re-creating my loops on the individual synths which would be a pain. My chain for now is Ableton (Master clock and midi clips on different channels) -Midi Out-Midi In-> Machinedrum (just clock) -Midi Thru-Midi In->x0xb0x for now. net work error fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jul 4, 2014 |

Dotcom Jillionaire posted:It might be something with Turbo mode being enabled in the global settings. I have had some sync issues in the past (either between the software and instrument or MIDI interface and instrument) but turning off some of the unnecessary MIDI features for me in the Machinedrum (and turning off most of the MIDI sync options in Ableton unless they're important) can make a difference. I turned off Turbo mode and also changed around MIDI channels and I got it to work. It's not quantized perfectly but I can adjust for that in live. Thanks for the tip. net work error fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Jul 4, 2014 |

BKPR posted:theory question for y'all: does bleep usually follow bloop, or is the other way around more traditional? Coming from a techno perspective, German/Berlin techno will generally be much more bleep heavy, generally in triplets of some kind. Detroit techno I've found to favor the bloop more but either is fair game as long as they flow for at least a beat. If you're more tech house inclined definitely stick to bloops because a bleep stands out too much and usually isn't favorable in that kind of genre.

The organizing of patterns and songs and etc on the Machinedrum has finally clicked in my brain and I'm upset it took me this long to understand it. Hardware is strange. If the Ryhtm Wolf demo is legit it sounds better as an acid box than as a drum machine although like mentioned above it might be better once we hear a demo that isn't just a line in on a Mac.

Sonicstate had a walkthrough on the new Modulus 002 and it's a high end synth () but it has some really cool features that I thought were interesting. Specifically the ability to actually edit your patches or sequences via a web browser and have them pushed to your synth. Even better is that this small company is open sourcing it to hopefully have other companies implement this feature as well. It could be a huge feature if it becomes popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7Hdb0hDL4E

Turns out you can use the Microbrute as a Midi keyboard in Ableton when connected via USB which is helpful if you're low on desk space like I am. Gonna try it out for a little while until I get annoyed with tiny keys.

So those with the OP-1, how well do they play with other synths and overall would you recommend them for a more techno/industrial sound? I know they're built rather well but the sound of it is still a mystery to me. e: After some quick research they don't play with anyone ever but they're still cool and that screen is fantastic. net work error fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Aug 21, 2014 |
