this is exactly what i was looking for, everyone else is only showing it connected to ableton, which already keeps me in key and scale. I wanted to see if the chord and scale worked with hardware, as that is what i primarily need. i was looking at the korg fold, but this looks way better. thank you

Hi, At 09:40 can you please explain what Noise modulation on the Cutoff filter exactly does. I understand this when using an LFO. So, is it correct when I say that the position of Cutoff filter is ‘randomized’ because the level of noise is ‘random’?

Can you share individual parts with a DAW somehow? Seems like you can’t but it’d be pretty sweet if you could

There is no way to bring the parts in on their own tracks, you would need to record each of the parts individually.

An idea: instead of having to scroll through every note in the Scales feature, couldn’t you just hold down the root note *key* on the keyboard to restrict the menu options to just those roots? So, instead of having to go through A, A#, B… etc. for every scale, you’d hold an F note and just see options for F?

No more accurate performance ready Arp options via the pads? On the Mk3 I can instantly select Arp rates, octaves, etc... just by tapping a pad. Way more quicker/accurate than turning an encoder to get what you're looking for, especially when trying to change multiple settings at once. This, and add the fact that the encoders are now accelerated, they're now useless for live applications. Performing filter sweeps is no more.

The problem with Dirtywave m8 is the distribution worldwide. Both units are similar in price. However, the additional tax and import charges are a deal breaker. In addition to that, it's too small, whereas the Mini is the right size.

I was lucky living in LA that I didn’t get the import tax and all that other stuff. I could see that being a massive punch in the gut.

Thanks heaps Craig. Just got a Digitakt recently, for the life of me couldn't figure out a way to make jungle drums on it. This just makes so much sense and once you get your head around it, is actually a really fun way to slice and rearrange breaks. One question, what is the software that you are projecting in the upper right of the screen that shows you the slices aligned with the digitakt?

I have imported samples into the granular without issue. I have seen a few little bugs here and there but nothing that would stop me using it live. I would have loved to have seen a visual on the granular like the 1010music Lemmon drop but they said that it was a limitation with the CPU.

It would be great to have a video exploring in depth the sequence editor and the live performance features of this synth, since live performance is the major selling point but it seems half baked from what I have seen so far on KZbin reviews. For example, what are the parameters available for each step in a sequence (note/chord, duration, velocity, probability, automation)? Why not use the pads to show steps in a sequence editor rather than having to enter steps one after another? Can scenes be used for different parts of a song in a live performance? Is there a scene launcher with quantization and seamless transition for the sounds and sequences/arpeggios moving from a scene to another, a bit like projects on the Novation Circuit Tracks? It would be not very useful if I am stuck with a single scene during a performance.
@floydhopkins790119 күн бұрын
I've been pretty disappointed because it's not really a sequencer, more like a programmable arpeggiator. It also doesn't have a latch function that would allow you to hold different notes without pressing the shift key and having to turning off the previous note.
@craigwilliamsmusic10 күн бұрын
Not a bad idea. Honestly, I had a Quick Look at the sequencer etc but once I worked out how I wanted to use it with my live rig I just developed that workflow.

Not sure why there is so much hype now days on hardware synths, when you can get all synths in software. Its probably fun to play with.
@craigwilliamsmusic25 күн бұрын
Honestly, you don't need any of this stuff to make music. All you need is a computer, headphones and DAW. If you can't do it with that, hardware isn't going to magically make it easy. I like hardware since it gets me away from the computer and I generally have more fun with it being more hands on.
@askalotlmusic15 күн бұрын
For me, hardware has two main factors that make me prefer it. One is getting away from a computer as I already spend all day at one, second is that it is much more fun and expressive to use and play.

Once you get a scene or instrument set up there isn’t much in the way of menu diving. You can also set the Macro’s to control multiple functions. That’s how I have mine set. I can just reach for a macro to open a filter, increase the release for a build in a song.
