Slick

[@rorykhanmohon]

All of your tutorials have been so helpful. Thanks for them.

[@jonaseggen2230]

Brilliant!

[@eddraper]

A very neat trick! Well done sir!

[@TheSilentCartgraph3r]

Perfect!!!

[@synkrotron]

Yep, delay is always your friend when used in this way :-)

Cool technique, I learned this from a Nuno Bettencourt tutorial many moons ago!

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Do you have a link to that?

[@BenA718]

Alastair Wilson Oh, man - will see if there is video on it!

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Sorry ;) I'm just interested in seeing how they explained it!

[@VictorSteiner]

Great idea again! Does this also work with Ableton‘s effects or the Valhalla reverbs? Anything different there?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

It should be easy with Ableton's delays - use MIDI to sync the M32 to Ableton's tempo, and then you can just use a subdivision of the tempo as the delay time instead of trying to figure out the exact delay time in milliseconds. It should work with pretty much every delay under the sun, since all you need to do is get the delay time right. As for Valhalla's reverbs; you need a delay to do this (I guess you could have some fun with the pre-delay time on the reverb) but hey anything will sound good going through a Valhalla VintageVerb anyway!

Receive chords?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

What do you mean?

[@realpadsound]

I can send 4 notes from my octatrack? And be able to perform techno chord

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Not sure I'm following, sorry...

[@DanielHrivnak]

Depends on the synth. The one in this video is monophonic so you can't send it multiple notes and have it play them all at once.
