Fully Control Any Synth With Model Samples / Cycles

[@UniversalHomeboy]

I do something similar inside VCV Rack to basically turn my M:S into a modular controller. Build some drum loops. Resample onto the elektron, and then you have 5 Mono synths at your disposal in eurorack format

You are most welcome!

I can't wait, let's see if you surprise us one more time 🔥

[@paxson2000]

Thank you so much!

[@philipm2100]

Really great, thank you for this. Really helpful, have a model samples and just got into the ipad world which is very fun. Hope you do that vid with model samples and aum, I'm not sure of the set up yet but having them work together would be very interesting

[@SnaptoGrid]

Glad you liked it. I’ve actually gotten rid of my MS. But could set this up with the Digitakt. It works the same in regards to iPad and such!

[@SnaptoGrid]

Ohh and also AUM. Exactly the same.

[@philipm2100]

Thanks, the one question I had was if the model samples audio can be played over USB, so the m:s is powered on,connected to ipad with USB and then have that m:s play directly in the ipad, from what I've read this is not possible

[@bourbon]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

[@SnaptoGrid]

Glad you liked it! What would you want to see/learn next?

[@milkmannheim]

can I get the audio from the Model Cycles with AUM through the ipad ? so I can hear the audio from the ipad´s speakers ? thanks

[@UNDERMIND_AUDIO]

Great! Thank you for this! I still need just a basic understanding of midi. But this really helps!

[@SnaptoGrid]

Glad you find it useful! Also, howstuffworks dot com has some good explanations if you search for midi :) But in my understanding, it's a sort of protocol, a technical standard and technology that allows music (and even VJ) equipment to communicate with each other, sending signals back and forth. Old, reliable, brilliant, and a staple technology in the stack, if you will. :D

[@UNDERMIND_AUDIO]

@@SnaptoGrid Yeah I understand why we have it and what it does. My issue is learning how to program the cc etc... I just need to start using what I have and figure it out like everyone else has done! I'm always looking for a shortcut!

[@SnaptoGrid]

I see. The manufacturers/developers tend to assign particular cc values to certain parameters. It’s usually in the documentation. I find it varies quite a bit in terms of what is assigned to what. Also, there are apps that can monitor midi signals and show what cc value is being sent. Super handy!

[@sese6344]

This is so awesome thank you for showing this. Is it also possible anyhow to send the controlled midi into a daw to record it in Ableton directly ?

[@jesus_aka_mathinger]

My model samples seems to have stopped sending midi I don't know why! I used to sequence my behringer crave with the MS but now with the same configuration it doesn't trigger any sound on it... what might happen??

[@livinproof718]

Does all the features work out through the midi ?

[@brandonharkins6900]

Have you heard about playing polyphonically using midi thru? Ive heard it works but i cant seem to figure it out.

[@SnaptoGrid]

Yes, you need a fancy little special cable for this. Can’t remember what it’s called ATM. They do quirky audio gadgets of all sorts.

[@pr5323]

🙌thank you 🤘

[@dzaxys4643]

Thinking of using my model samples to control my syntakt have you tried controling your digitakt with the model samples I'm assuming it would work well going to try it on my syntakt after this coffee anyway thanks Loving the techno

[@SnaptoGrid]

Always coffee before anything 👌🏿 it’s funny you say that, it had struck me to try controlling the one with the other. I don’t see why not, although both mine are sample(r) devices. So ofc. It would be better with either Cycles+Digitakt or Samples+Digitone. I don’t have high hopes re. Acquiring a Syntakt any time soon tho. 🤣

[@SnaptoGrid]

And thanks, glad you are diggin it. Peace ✌🏽

[@tentontarantula7750]

So does the audio from iOS pass back through the MC? And you're playing the other tracks on MC as normal? Will the nobs mapped to the iOS synth only be engaged when you're on track 6, but still function as normal to shape sound on the MC when other tracks are selected? Cheers!

[@SnaptoGrid]

Yes, it will. And yes, all with all the other tracks, the knobs respond accordingly. Yea, you have to manually MIDI map then to your iOS instrument on which ever channel is controlling said instrument.

[@tentontarantula7750]

@@SnaptoGrid Great, thanks for the info - really helpful!

[@TheIdealfact]

interesting, but it's only for usb not midi how to trigger a keyboard via midi?

[@analogedreams2485]

really great how did you connect/sync electron with the i pad? regards

[@SnaptoGrid]

With Apple Camera Connection kit, using the Elektron USB lead. Then, enable a MIDI channel and go from there. Also, the Digi will need to be in audio/midi mode, not in Overbridge mode.

[@analogedreams2485]

@@SnaptoGrid thanks for the reply cheers!

[@psycomantis1236]

hey i have a question, i would like to use the model samples together with the new roland j-6 chord synth - do you think it is possible to have the j-6's audio in the model sample over usb same as the ipad ?

[@SnaptoGrid]

Interesting question. I think this depends on whether the J-6 has audio out over USB. I would check the manual to be sure..but since it’s purely digital AFAIK, I’d be shocked if this was not possible!

[@livinproof718]

Does retriggering notes work?

[@johnfrytey1331]

should the audio track play together with the midi track turned on? how to turn off the audio track to play only midi track?

[@SnaptoGrid]

On MS yes, it can be both. Then just unload the sample. On Digi, it is either audio or MIDI

[@socaseinpoint]

Thanks, but can I record audio with synthesiser and samples sound, in my audio recording it’s only samples with no synthesiser sound

[@SnaptoGrid]

Yes, the synth signal should get summed and come out of the MS output. The synth obviously needs to send audio to MS over the USB tho.

[@johnfrytey1331]

How mute audio track in chanel t6? My elektron samples play booth audio track and MIDI track in poison?

[@SnaptoGrid]

T6 on Digi? This is an audio track. You can just mute it in Mute mode or turn its volume down or even turn it down in the mixer

[@moldythoughts4765]

Can it record cc changes into the sequencer? Big up! Okay, you told already...

[@SnaptoGrid]

TBH I don’t even remember atm. But I believe you can. Would probably resort to documentation or ChatGPT to be sure.

[@SnaptoGrid]

Ohhh my bad, on the MS I don’t think you can actually. But willing to be corrected on this.

[@moldythoughts4765]

@@SnaptoGrid cheers mate

[@Purrrelll]

do gloves necessary? I am just asking.

[@SnaptoGrid]

Yes, gloves are mandatory to make nice techno. But they must be fingerless so that you can feel the knobs properly. 😂

[@Purrrelll]

But I am not a human, I am a robot and my fingers are metal. What should I do?😂

[@SnaptoGrid]

In that case, I would advise to connect the unit straight to you GPIO for zero latency operation!
