I would like to send the clock signal from my Beatstep Pro into my Volca Keys. I have the Beatstep clock running in one step mode, but the Volca will frequently skip steps. The same problem happens if I try using one of the drum gates instead. How can I get this working?

utamaru posted:I highly recommend a MIDI cable instead. Yeah, I know. Maybe when I can afford a MIDI splitter.  It's a little frustrating since clocking Volcas was mentioned during the hype train. I have the cables for this, it and I'd rather save the single MIDI out for something that doesn't already have a (polyphonic) sequencer built in.

And here I was thinking that I was saving up for an MS-20...

A Winner is Jew posted:Yeah, I think the MS-20 mini + SQ-1 is still a bit better than a Mother 32, but 2 Mother 32's would be better than a MS-20m. Why doesn't Korg market a MS-20m that's fully assembled and doesn't cost more than twice as much as a normal MS-20 mini? Are the sync, FM, and PWM circuits that expensive?

My MS-20 mini came in yesterday!  There was a little hiccup in shipping, so I wanted to check with the thread that everything is working as intended. The pulse wave disappears when the width is dialed past 2:00. Sometimes the sample and hold has its values stuck when I'm triggering from the keyboard (tried a paraphony patch from youtube). Other than that, I'm having a blast!

I got a glitch on the following patch: Keyboard CV + LFO -> Osc 2 Pitch The goal was vibrato in a single oscillator for ring mod shenanigans, which mostly worked. It was fine on the lower end of the keyboard, but the pitch scaling messed up at the high end. The weirdest part was that the LFO started to bleed into Osc 1 at the high end as well. Increase oscillator octaves, play lower keyboard: problem solved.

No idea. Question: if you're using the play/stop messages from the BSP, then I assume you're using the Beats' internal sequencer.

I get paid tomorrow, and rather than get another synthesizer  I'd like to get a better controller, to replace the cheepnis I've been playing on.I sing and play live, so I'm pretty happy with keytaring. I'm thinking of getting an Alesis Vortex. Any comments before I pull the trigger on this?

Barnyard Protein posted:Can someone give me some signal routing advice? Conventional wisdom regarding the Volca line is that the Belkin Rockstar headphone splitter makes for a cheap and decent passive mixer, meaning that you'll have to tweak the Volca's volume outputs to get your desired mix once you plug everything in. Tangentially, I picked up a Volca Bass today, and I'm immediately lovestruck. Someday, when I'm not a poor graduate student, I might even own the whole line.

Any suggestions for an alternative to the Alesis Ion? I want at least a 4 octave keyboard and as close to knob-per-function as possible, so the Micron and Miniak are out. How's the Roland JP-8000?

I sometimes take pictures of my MS-20, but I never find myself looking at them again. It's a security blanket -- then I feel more comfortable resetting all the knobs and trying something else.

Tayter Swift posted:... a Roland Demora which is used as a utility module since I can't stand its primary delay function. I'm thinking about getting Bitrazer as utility for my MS-20. Any opinions on the other Aira effects? No idea on where to get a decent MS-20 case, though.

Tayter Swift posted:Apart from the V-Trig/S-Trig silliness you'll encounter on the MS-20, steer clear of the Scooper if you're just going to pick one up for a utility module, as it doesn't have the attenuators for the top knobs. I don't have experience with the other two modules but I probably would have gone with the distortion one if I had to buy one again. I hadn't noticed that on the Scooper, thanks. I'm willing to give up the AD envelope as an S-Trig/V-Trig silliness converter as needed. BernieLomax posted:It begins. Neat.

Maybe this is the grad student/limited free time thing talking, but I've been satisfied plugging my Aira Bitrazer into my MS-20 for modular shenanigans. Except for the Circuit I'm getting myself for my birthday.

I stepped on my BSP's power cable a month ago and knocked it on the floor. I was really lucky that the socket remained intact. The pads and knobs feel a little loose now, but everything seems to function. I doubt I could get away with that again.

I think I plugged something I shouldn't have while trying to record my Volca Sample. It still works, just now it makes a faint hum while its powered on.

Yeah, it hums on batteries. It seems manageable when playing with gain on the mixer, but it's very noticeable when just using headphones. Day saved? I'll mess with it more later.

Circuit just got polyrhythms on its drum tracks. Granted, drums 1 & 2 have to have the same sequence length, as do 3 & 4, but it just got way easier to do 3/4, 7/8, and so on.

There's an SY77 on my local craigslist for $150. The floppy drive is busted, and "there may be one key that sometimes does not work." Do I go for it, or do I save my money for the local music shop's end-of-business clearance sale?

I believe the Novation Launchkey, Arturia MiniLab, or Korg nanoKEY are built for this purpose. SY77 update: Put out some feelers and it sounds like there's an issue with the screen. Will try to evaluate in person, also looking into replacement screens on eBay.
