Dear Cuckoo, your work is always excellent, your tutorials helpful & your presence inviting. This jam is really something special. Iv shared this with my entire friend group. The flow & sounds are on another level of excellence. If I may be so forward - please make an extended jam of this. Something 30+ mins. This could really be the start of a whole album.

It's cool (very cool actually) that it has a calculator form factor but you buried the headline... The fact that it plays back unquantized MIDI events is awesome! I sometimes come up with melodies that fire on upbeats and things like that and the Volca and other simple sequencers don't play well with that. Beautiful jam Cuckoo!

Thanks! I hope to make a tutorial of some sort with this. The unquantised mode is great. Then you apply quantisation in a variety of settings. And remove quantisation if your don’t like it anymore.

@truecuckoo
@truecuckoo 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! You can choose whether you want to quantise or not. You can record flows of CC changes, knob twists, pitch bends, mod wheel action etc. All of that can potentially be recorded into the sequencer. Some nice copy paste function, and MIDI routing.

Absolutely interested in a tutorial. I’ve been voltage control only, since entering Eurorack in 2017 (had a long break from music production). I’ve been considering getting MIDI in the system again, but have old-school requirements (I think). This little guy seems to be perfect to take me back to 1990 with my MMT-8 ❤, but takes up much less room. BTW 7:28 was a lovely movement. You are a man of taste 😊 Edit: oops I realize now I’m very late. Whatever, my points still stand 😂.

Hey mate, yes am dying for an in depth tutorial on how to use this. I feel so silly to ask, and I’m a bit of a slow learner, for this sort of thing and the instruction manual seems to list everything except how to get going on making connections and select midi channels etc. a few things that need help with are 1. Using a keyboard controller that has a usb out such as a nanokey studio…can that be used? 2. How to go about selecting midi channels and actually just a proper introduction/navigation of controls in general would be great. 3. How to hook up an RK006 to use it in conjunction with volcas and other equipment I think once those basics are covered then people can enjoy this great tool a lot more… I’m actually a bit dissapointed with the retrokits demonstrations and impressed you got out of it as much as you did. Thank you

It’s worth reiterating that, like the Alesis MMT8, each of the 8 tracks is able to contain all 16 midi channels. So you’re not limited to just one sound per track. Very flexible!

is everything we see here all that is playing? wheres the delay and reverbs coming from? i would like to see this amazing seqencer control a few items midi clock while perhaps recording some cc or sysex parameters abd maybe throw in pattern bank changes so effectively the units are running their own onboard patterns and sequencer might be ‘playing’ the knob / bank changes like automation.
