Idea is good but in my case it would be difficult to execute. My local radio is garbage! I'm clearly picking up only 3 stations... In the 2 of them is mostly talk and playing 4 trashy pop songs on repeat. And the third one is classical music so just fishing for good samples would take me ages. And another thing is that the video would have to be heavily edited to avoid copyright infringement and flagging. But the concept is good. I might try do it in the future, make a beat and then break it down in a KZbin video. Thanks 👍

Glad that you like it! 😁

Tune, fine tune and detune is available in VAP. In WTFM you also have fine tune but tune is replaced by "ratio" because it's an FM engine. VAP offers the typical 2 OSC subtractive synth options with mix and sync options for example. But each of 2 OSC have their own envelope and LFO. WTFM offers feedback instead. Each engine is different and the last 2 are way more advanced than ACD or FAT. So no, you don't have to sacrifice step FX for tune or fine tune but only if you'll use VAP or WTFM. I'll try to demonstrate it in the next video. Thanks for the message!

Thanks! You have a nice channel as well :)

There will be more :)

You're welcome!

You got it! It might take me a few days to upload it because of life responsibilities and I'll try to deep dive into each one of them to make it comprehensive. Thanks for the feedback 🙌

@@whatsthatnoisee thanks for the reply! keep it going

There is a demo video of all the stock synths presets. It's called 'Polyend Play + All Synth Preset Sounds. (No Talking)' The Tracker+ has the same synths engines and patches as Play+ has.

@@CuriousPassenger really appreciate it 👌

You're welcome!

I assume that problem occurs when you playback recorded samples on other than vocal track. On vocal track it should be smooth because it's timeline not grid based and not affected by pattern changes. But more likely your sample isn't clear on the start or end of the sample (not in 0 position during transition to another clip). If that's the case you could try to edit the start or end point of the sample, or adjust the envelope on attack and release.

Thank you. I really encourage people to master their gear because you can do a lot of great music with just one Volca for example.

@@whatsthatnoisee Do agree to explore more fully what can be done with each piece of gear. I've been doing this with the gear I have and it's rather amazing the results.

The original sounds are in Verselab by default. You can also download sound packs from Roland Cloud and just copy/paste to your SD card. Or create/edit your own with Zenology Pro and save as yours. I made a wideo about it as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZXZq2WdmJuFb8ksi=Qr0HqGrGL2l0rZ-R

Thanks a lot!

It all comes down to the workflow and question... Do you really need it or do you just want it? I ask myself the exact question every time because budget is a thing unfortunately. But Verselab is way more than just an expensive controller for sure, it's really close to the "studio in the box" description taking into account that it can serve also as an audio interface with phantom power and you can directly record separate tracks as steams including line in or built in microphone. I assume that you are already using Zenbeats as your DAW so you can find a great MIDI controller with more macro controls as well for much less but the problem with MIDI controllers is that they don't hold the resale value at all! It also depends on what type of music you want to make because chopping samples on it is really bad and controlling other external gear through MIDI is limited to 7 channels at the expense of your tracks. In conclusion I would say go for it if you want to use it more as a standalone groovebox with some occasional assistance of DAW. If you're looking for some good controller to your DAW and you don't want to sacrifice the big screen then you could probably find something better for this role. You can also check my other videos with Verselab and Zenbeats integrated to have a better look at what it can or can't do. Thanks

Good point! I have a hybrid setup (couple of hardware synths, being sequenced in Ableton) I do jams and structured songs, both that way. I want something that I can use anywhere in my apartment or even In a coffee shop. Having said that I don't need it to be honest, but I want to have a machine for using outside of my regular setup. Did I answer your question?

@@yodycastro For that reason I just switched to Polyend Tracker +. New Tracker is awesome and I'm about to make entire series about it in combination with Roland SH-4d and Tracker Mini.

@@whatsthatnoisee that's sounds great! I'll have a look on the Polyend again. Looking forward to seeing those new videos!! Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately no. You can set them to basically whatever you want but it's clip/sound based. Butt hey! You can always create a preset project ;)

I got ya thank you 🙏

Thanks, I'm glad that I could help.

Thanks, appreciate it a lot!

To answer that I would recommend you to watch another of my videos called "Roland Verselab MV-1 - MIDI controller for DAW". Verselab can be easily used as a midi controller and audio interface. Fully featured so you can control plugins in your DAW, life record steams from each Verselab tracks separately including stereo/mono input channel. It's pretty powerful. The only thing to keep in mind is that in Verselab Editor you don't have a vocal track to edit but a regular DAW fix it for you.

I think one is enough, but thanks 😅👍

I used 5 pin MIDI to 3.5 TRS jack adapter. Volca requires Type A.

@@whatsthatnoisee и аудио из Вольки на вход Верселаба джеками ??

@@DarWeter78 Audio from the Volca goes into the mixer. My routing is more complicated because of the video but yes... You can do it this way, as long as you have set input to (line) in Verselab it will come across on your output in Verselab. So Verselab is basically 2 channels (L-R) or one channel mono audio interface as well.

Thank you 😁

Thank you 😁

@@whatsthatnoisee You're most welcome, Love. Keep it burning!

Really appreciate it, thanks!

Thank you

Thank you! It's all work in progress :)

You can play up to 2 loops simultaneously if you set Inst 1 and inst 2 tracks to looper track and record on both of them. No overdub unfortunately :/

MV is not gone, just took a break. I still have many projects to do on Verselab. But for now I decided to try something different and SH-4d was hunting me in my dreams for a long time :). It has a poor sequencer but great sound design capabilities and as soon as I figure out how to pattern change on 4d through MIDI from the master device, I'll combine Verselab and 4d! Thanks for watching and comments! Appreciate it 😁

@@whatsthatnoisee sweet really looking forward to it... always enjoy how inventive you get with your stuff

You're welcome :)

You're welcome :)

Definitely! You have 3 options to record to MV-1: Line input, built in mic and XLR external mic (dynamic or condenser because Verselab have phantom power too).

@@whatsthatnoisee отлично !

Well said! Thanks Love ❤️

For me it's the "go to" box almost every single time. Thanks for watching :)

That's what I did. I downloaded sound packs for MV-1 to my harddrive and SD in Verselab but in addition I slightly altered some sounds from Zenology Pro sound packs to my custom sound bank and exported it as mine. As long as you have saved your pack in the right file format Verselab and other Zenology compatible gear will be able to read it.

I would prefer sample chopping option in Verselab editor to compensate for the small screen. But most likely it will never happen.

Galaxias at this point, is only stand alone. Roland promised a plugin version but we'll see...

Effects like robot are under vocal effects. Each take can be assigned to MFX, vocal effects, different compressor or dry regardless of recording source so you can use it on line in as well or even imported sample.

Have fun :)

You're welcome :)

Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

I'm glad that you liked it. I was thinking about using it in a Bitwig because previously I had Elektron Digitakt and Digitone hooked to it and it worked just fine. I sold them after getting Verselab because of the workflow and I don't regret it. Verselab just makes music production easy and enjoyable. Thanks for watching.

What convinced me to Verselab is the song mode and mic capabilities. I do rap sometimes so it was ideal to create songs from start to finish without even looking at the computer. I was looking for self-contained unit as a centre piece of my studio. So far I'm not disappointed but if you are more into live performance, sound design or chopping samples then 707 is a way better option. Chopping samples on MV-1 will give you nothing but a headache. 707 is limited in terms of mic recording and doesn't have song mode but you have a full zenology engine at disposal so pros and cons like with everything. I can't comment on Akai force because I never touched it but I've heard that is pretty powerful (especially after some years of updates). I'll make another video probably next week with Verselab controlling DAW and other gear so ask me anything and I'll try to include it in my upcoming video. Thanks
