Bastl Instruments MicroGranny - solving problems while loading microSD Samples

[@SidRockett]

Helpful video! Adding few things tho... You can have up to 10 banks of 6 sounds (00-9Z). You can use any audio SW (Audacity is free) to compress the samples down to 8bit.

[@gear_porn]

Thank you for the input - I was thinking of talking about banks, but I figured if the viewer would get started with A1-A6 their own findings & experience would lead them to A7... Audacity is a good suggestion, the one I mentioned does it "drag&drop" it´s really quite amazing in ease of use!

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

Do you know what the correct sample rate is that I need to set my samples at in audacity? Whenever I import my samples onto the MicroGranny they’re all coming out too slow.

[@thefoxfamily341]

@@iamdamosuzuki_ my grandpa operate tha same way ?too slow. Little bit tricky...maybe i make it after faster? Hmm but how many % ..??? Thanks

[@dillipphunbar7924]

22kHz 16 or 8 Bit. mono! Choose "Resample" under "Tracks" tab, and after mixing stereo to mono, then export as wav file in the "File" tab menu@@iamdamosuzuki_

It is a very cool box. I just got mine and looking forward to playing with it. Thanks for the video.

[@gear_porn]

My pleasure, enjoy the music, Julio!

Thanx DjFormalin I appreciate it - hope you make some Phat Beats with your Granny! :-)

Thank you!

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

So the issue I’m having is that the samples I’m trying to put into the MicroGranny are loading on at the incorrect speed. How do I fix that?

[@gear_porn]

you probably have an issue with the sample rate please check it is not 44.1khz! this can be changed in the program mentioned and this should solve your issues with the pitch of the sample

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

@@gear_porn I have it at 22050 like it’s supposed to be. Is there anything else I might be missing?

[@gear_porn]

@@iamdamosuzuki_ Sorry, that is the only one I have :-( Maybe it has something to do with FirmWare? Try to upgrade or downgrade to see if it is a bug. Also you could try to find out the difference in pitch and pitch-shift the samples as a part of the conversion process in order to make ends meet? Hope that helps!

[@AdiGoldsteinComposer]

Thank you for this great tutorial 🙏🏻

[@gear_porn]

Hey thank you - I am saying uuhhmm a lot, but goes to show that I could get better at this :-) But if it helped you to get to making music quicker we all won!

[@iNuchalHead]

Anyone have any luck reading the presets' TXT files? I can't figure out their encoding. Would like to write the presets on the computer.

[@gear_porn]

that would be a great thing! can´t be that complicated and lots of geeks out there :-')

[@technopriest8686]

So I can delete everything on the original microSD except for the txt files? what are the other txt files I'm seeing?

[@gear_porn]

i read about the file structure and could only find a warning: "dont touch the text files" So I never actually took the time to check, because it is not really necessary for all the settings are available on the machine itself easily. What I did is to empty the card completely - but i did backup all the original data from the card when I recieved the unit. then with only WAV files on the card I made my own "preset" and when that is saved on the unit text files are created automatically and accordingly - hope that helps

[@thefoxfamily341]

Maybe the txt files make my sample slow or without i mean

[@daneguitarist1]

very cool! I think this is a cool device that I dont understand hahaha id love to hear what your band sounds like with the microgranny, i bet its sicccck!

[@gear_porn]

Hey thank you for your comment, you would have to come and hear us somewhere, because me commit to making unrehearsed music only in the moment, it happens and never record it :-) I did google your label name and listened to some stuff - I like it!

[@daneguitarist1]

oh really?! thats a wild style, i play in an improv metal group called TUN occasionally, basically anytime they are in the area having a show i get a phone call and i do some weird electronic noises with them, its basically one of those core bands with breakdowns its pretty sweet tho, super heavy and the drummer rules that being said, fucking get over here in kansas! lets do a show!@@gear_porn

[@1brocktune]

Here before 100k

[@gear_porn]

100k coming closer fast!!! thanks for the sub :-)

[@phillindablank]

How much voice polyphony does the Microgranny has? Or can it only trigger one sample at a time?

[@gear_porn]

only one voice!

[@Philsy1971]

You can have multiple presets though, so you don't need to keep changing A1-A6.

[@gear_porn]

Thank you for the input - I was thinking of talking about banks, but I figured if the viewer would get started with A1-A6 their own findings & experience would lead them to A7 :-)

Helpful vid,,,,,Got one of these Coming,,,,just put little piece of tape on sd card,,then you can pull it out easily,,(I had the same problem with my Raspberry pi sd card..

[@gear_porn]

thank you! there are also Breakout ribbon-cable-adapters which work fine here!

[@darkdialect]

What a waste of time

[@gear_porn]

I am pretty sure your music is also a waste of time, so we can call it even!

[@darkdialect]

@@gear_porn well, first of all... And in comoarsion to your response... THANK YOU, for spending your time listening to my music... I dont do music for you or anyone else to learn anything from it. And its completely ok, for you to think anything about it. But, if someone told me it was a waste of time, i would not just blindly attack back... Id ask why he thinks its a waste of time, so I have some information and the i can evaluate if that "critique" makes sence, or it its just a troll...

[@darkdialect]

@@gear_porn btw i did a video too...(review, not tips) 2 vids actualy, so you now you can comment on this one too kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYDTZZKcebacg7c Anyway... Enjoy all the positive comments, and learn less childish way to deal with the negative ones

[@gear_porn]

​@@darkdialect My goodness, so many words! What made you think I listened to your music? (I didn't). And what makes you think I will watch your vid? (I won't)

[@thegreatsiberianitch]

​@@darkdialect i think you meant to write "sense"
