yeah i feel like modern digital machines have so much more character than analog devices these days.

Thanks! In this specific setup, I am simply connecting the audio OUT of the Roland S1 to the MIX IN (Audio Input) of the Yamaha SEQTRAK. This allows the audio of the external device to be “mixed” together and routed to the main output of the SEQTRAK. 👍 Not all instruments / synths have audio inputs / mix ins… so then you will need an audio mixer. An audio mixer is a device that combines multiple audio signals into one output. Hope this makes sense. 😊

@@littleBIGsynths Got it! Very clear and helpful, thank you!

I totally agree! It’s amazing. Great sound, super versatile, and the sequencer/ arpeggiator are awesome! 👍

They are the factory knobs… I just put on some colored circle labels that picked up from my local office supply store. lol It helps differentiate between the different sections a bit better… kinda enhancing the UI a bit. IMO 😊👍

Thanks! 🙏 This was all programmed by me.👍 You will definitely have to read the manual, watch some videos, and use the companion app a bit to wrap your head around the workflow, BUT once you have an understanding of it… it’s pretty intuitive IMO. Like from the moment it is powered on, I can get a solid jam going in minutes! It is super helpful that all of the stock sounds are high quality and sound great with minimal tweaking. I definitely think it’s worth checking for the price and I don’t think there is really anything that compares for the price other than the opz.

Thanks for the reply. I guess like a lot of people it was gonna be this or the new KO.

Dude! I’m absolutely loving this thing! It's incredibly fun to play with and once you grasp the workflow, it's straightforward and super easy to get some solid jams going. While it's not overly complex in terms of sound design, it does offer a ton of great sounding presets that can be enhanced with basic tools like filters, envelopes, and EQ. Where it truly shines is in the FX department: one individual FX per track, delay and reverb send FX for any or all tracks, a master global effect, and two performance FX. My biggest gripe at the moment is the mute functionality. To mute parts, you have to hold down the mute button on the side of the device and select the tracks you want to mute or unmute. It's an awkward combo, especially since the mute button is right next to the delete button! Ideally, this could be fixed by offering a mute mode, allowing for easier track muting and unmuting with a single button press. It does have an "unmute all" feature, which is nice and the scenes & song mode helps make up for the mute functionality allowing me to program scenes that have certain parts muted and then changing scene where parts are unmuted. If that makes sense. lol Oh, and the build quality is pretty cheap. 😂 That took some time getting used to. lol

Awesome! Glad it helped! It’s really cool knowing that it is still informative and relevant all these years later too. 😊👍

@@littleBIGsynths ya definitely make it so easy. Seriously the best one I've seen. Ever! I know quite a lot of it & I'll still watch it. It still helps. I'm playing live next week with an "Electribe brain" & wouldn't have realised that I could/should use It, if it weren't fer this vid. So thank you!

lol I am alive and well! Emma is doing well too… just not a baby anymore. 😭 ❤️

Thank you very much! 💙🙏 I appreciate that.

lol 😄

Thanks! 😊🙏
