Making a Bassline with the Rene 2 and Tonestar 8106

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

RIght, Rene is experimental and Rene almost hopes your idea won't work, whatever it is. The truth is that Vector will do a million times more, but also everything Rene does. And an Oxy One can do 48 Rene style sequencers at one time.

Again, great tutorial. (Weird how Rene doesn’t provide a settings option to change this start/reset behavior though.)

Thanks! Nice thoughtful tutorial, and good to hear the Tonestar 8106 in action; not many people have shown off what it can do, and it sounds great here.

Nice bit of instruction! Can you explain the modules providing clock from the tr8s?

[@beerrunner1753]

He is using the Hexinverter Mutant Brain to receive clock.

As Beer Runner mentioned, it's a Hexinverter Mutant Brain. What makes it powerful is that you can create a configuration on a computer, then upload it to the module, allowing each channel to a customized output. I feel like it's it's really quite powerful for the price. In this video, I have it setup as follows: Channel 7 - MIDI sequence start trigger Channel 8 - MIDI sequence stop trigger Channel 9 - Click tick on run (1/4 note) Channel 10 - Click tick on run (1/8 note) Channel 11 - Click tick on run (1/16 note) Channel 12 - Click tick on run (1/32 note) You can see the possibilities for configuring it here: mutantbrainsurgery.hexinverter.net/

​@@ferrycollider Thanks! New to this and have been trying to understand Exactly this type of setup as a first step in modular. I have and will try: RYTM mk2 > Poly2 > Plaits... Seriously looking as selling the RYTM for the TR8s. I'm not obsessed with drum sounds and will prolly never use 1/2 of what RYTM can do. Thanks again for a nice clear explanation / video!

​@@pagodaa100 I had debated on getting a Rytm before I got the TR-8s. It definitely allows more sound design, but like you pointed out, most of the time I'm just going to reach for a classic kit (808, 909, etc.) or use a sample pack. What I like most about the TR-8s is how immediate it is. Setting up a drum kit requires some menu diving, but once you have the sounds in place, programming and live control are all real time which is nice. I love the 8 variations, and it also has a dedicated eurorack trigger out too, which I've played with a bit as well.
