Great collab video, thank you. Love these. TR8S is so good, I run mine into the external inputs on my Syntakt and route it to Syntakt FX track for a bit of drive but also to take advantage of the Syntakt FX track for pumping etc.

Cool stuff! I'm doing a live gig in a week with the TR-8S and modular. IMO, it's the perfect combo and this video highlights only a few possibilities. Besides being an excellent drum machine (so I can leave my eurorack drum modules at home), it can be an effect box for modular, adding delay, reverb, (sidechain) compression (or other master FX), it can be a multitrack step sequencer (using the individual outputs + trigger output), I've even used it as a CV/melodic sequencer (using CC outputs from CTRL-knobs in combination with a MIDI to CV module and a sequential switch). Also, I can record my entire performance with it, because it's an audio interface. I love it.
@LiamKillen17 сағат бұрын
Yet another person using that combo- and with good reason!
@marcomir27Күн бұрын
So, what is processed by the modular ? The stereo output of the TR8s using the send-return of the mixer ?

Run it through a preamp of some sort. I use a Boss BX-8 mixer to soft clip it a touch (or a lot!) and it sounds great. Sounds good clean too imo, but a bit clinical.
@ozzy3mlКүн бұрын
@trevormalcolm4328 Totally agree. I have owned several drum machines and samplers and this box is just instantly gratifying with no processing needed (although I like a bit of analogue mixer drive). All about the ACB stuff for me, don’t use samples on it that much

Hi, I just bought what appears to be a brand new, never-used Ministudio 02 Mkii, but I'm having trouble getting sound in and out through my interface or patchbay. When I connect a mic/line to the interface, I can only get a signal through the headphones. However, when I connect to the phone level or phone in, I can't hear any playback, just static noise when adjusting the phone level knob. I'm starting to think it might be defective, but I don't want to request a refund until I'm sure my connections are correct. Do you have a video or any advice on the proper connections? I'm using a Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre light pipe to a Pro 40 for extra I/O, routed to a patchbay, and also connected to a Presonus monitor station. I would be very grateful for your help.

When I really watched some videos on the Torso T1 I was sold pretty quick. It has such a well thought out workflow, and the workflow is super quick. The amount of buttons and knobs it has is deceiving in regards to its functionality, and speed. I see it kind of like a meal at a prestigious restaurant. It may have less ingredients, but thats only due to the fact that the chef has spent their life working towards perfecting an idea using the least ingredients as possible as not to overwhelm the guest but to exceed their expectations.
