Can you send the click track out of a separate out with the new feature? E.g. if I was working with a live drummer could I send that click to their head phones without sending it out with the rest of my signal? If so is it easy to change the tempo or is it a guessing game?
@tomfenn71493 жыл бұрын
Sorry Bo, but again I'm a little nonplused. When I read that it still needs to be paired with a computer to load certain things (inc samples), I started to glaze over. It's also quite pricey -seeing that an extra 100 bucks gets a Polyend Tracker, and a 150 less gets one of those mind blowing Sonicware 8-bit grooveboxes, both of which have a unique sound, but Novation is again just a bit too clean and 'digital' as you rightly state. Happy to be proved wrong of course, but so far it's not sending me. So, nay here for me.

Ya, it is for me. The upgrades fix my workflow issues with the other one. Simple synth engine controls, separate midi. If I get more comfortable with my MC-101 I still won't be getting it, so time will tell whether I need it or not.

I've watched a few of your videos on this and really like what I've seen. Just getting back into electronic music so this is going to sound like a dumb question but can I import my old Linn drum samples into this? Either way I think I'm going to get this just because I like how you make it look fun. Really like your channel!

Hey Coasterdude, you should be able to import whatever samples you want via the sd card or through the components app. You can then assign said samples to any of the 6 tracks (2 synth + 4 drum). Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
