Demystifying Tables | Dirtywave M8

[@michaeljquick-music]

Quick Clarification: I use the terms "Asymmetric" and "Asynchronous" interchangeably in this video, but when referring to looping material with different lengths, as I am, they're called Asynchronous Loops. Thanks

[@akibakemono]

Really appreciate your extremely well-spoken, clear and concise explanation of tables. The M8 community should reference this video for a well-formed tables tutorial.

[@michaeljquick-music]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JohnDoe-yr5tg]

How comes you stopped at just this tutorial as one of the best ones I could follow especially with the finger position

[@shironishimoto]

What a pleasant and well thought out tutorial! Would LOVE to see more tutorials like this one covering other aspects of the M8. Keep it up!

[@dairylandbogurt]

Tables seem to reaally unlock the potential of m8. Thx for this tutorial

[@ruffark]

I finally understood tables after owning a m8 for 2 years! You are awesome, thank you very much.

[@EnvelopeFollower]

Very high quality video. Would love to see more. Thanks!

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Love it, totally understand how tables work from this. Thanks for the info 👊👊

[@eeclarkutube]

Fantastic video. Best presentation I have seen on the M8 (em-eight).

[@poorbadger]

Clear, understandable and useful. More please 😊

[@michaelwalsh6913]

Thanks so much!

[@eeclarkutube]

Such a great video. Would love to see you create a song from start to end as a tutorial. You’re so clear when you explain things.

[@dvanmegroet]

This is easily the best explanation of tables I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it so clearly. You’re an excellent teacher!

[@bansly]

Great explanations and examples, keep it up!

[@redtapenfr]

Thanks for putting this together. Everyone else already commended your ability to explain your process, I just wanted to +1.

[@sebastien5597]

[@jjurksztowicz]

That clap table is some serious wizardry!

[@ronnie_cutmore]

great video mate. learnt a lot. thank you.

[@eeclarkutube]

Please make more

[@mysteree292]

Thanks a lot for sharing. What I don't really get: At around the 15:48 mark you're explaining that the Finetune [FIN02] in the table row 0 alternates the pitch. Row 1 however doesn't contain the FIN command. Does any empty cell in table "reset" the value that was changed above it, so it reverts to whatever value is set from the main instrument page? Does it work this way for all FX besides FIN as well?

[@michaeljquick-music]

Oh, great question! So an empty cell will appear to "reset" the value, as you say, but only in a Table set to note increment mode (Table Tic 00). For faster Tables, changes made on the Table persist until a new note or a new command occurs (this can be observed in my example @ 09:24). Whenever a new note is triggered it defaults to whatever values are stored on the instrument page. So, it's not actually the empty cell that's resetting the value in the example you referenced. The new note resets the value, the Table just doesn't modify the default value for that step because the cell is blank. Does this make sense? Basically, it's just like when using FX commands on the Phrase page: the changes persist until the next note comes along and resets the instrument to its default state.

[@mysteree292]

@@michaeljquick-music I see, that makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up. I feel like maybe one of the reasons tables feel so daunting is because of these complex interactions, which may seem erratic at first glance, when you don't see the full picture quite yet

[@kenb7540]

Excellent tutorial ! 👏👏🎶

[@lebronsinclair8012]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@raysubject]

Brilliant video. Learned a lot, I hope to be using this soon!

[@finlaycannon]

Great explanation, very clear. Thank you!

[@cellardoreproductions]

This is so useful. Thank you

[@hikagee]

Hi Thanks for that great tutorial! May I ask you about your cursor? How did you get that cursor with blinking edges instead of the whole field turning one color?

[@michaeljquick-music]

Hello! I'm on the beta firmware which features the new cursor. You can find it on the Dirtywave discord server if you would like to check it out for yourself

[@RedHedDes]

Really effective simple examples and explanations. Thanks!

[@F_letc.h]

Nice explanation. Thanks!

[@LlewynDaviesTheThird]

Really clear and easy to understand. Thanks

[@garyliddon]

Thanks so much, great video and super helfpul

[@ATEAMPRODUCTIONS]

Nice tutorial! 👌

[@michaeljquick-music]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@frae-frae1940]

Thank you

[@KandMe1]

You got me wondering if a game boy controller will work with a headless M8?

[@michaeljquick-music]

I've seen people on the discord server use those abernic emulation machines to run headless!

[@MyNameJeff..]

This shit looks convoluted

[@dustsucker87]

Awesome tutorial, got some useful tips out of this! How do you get the selection marker to look that way? Mine is just a fully colored rectangle.

[@michaeljquick-music]

I'm on the 3.3 beta firmware. It's available on the m8 discord if you're interested in trying it out! I like it, but I was so used to the old cursor I had to change my theme to keep myself from being weirded out by the new one.
