  1. I think I'm gonna have to attempt a Subharmonicon clone on my Nord Modular, it's the most interested I've ever been in a Moog product. I don't have the money to buy one at the moment, and won't, unless I sell off what remains of my Eurorack lol
  2. Haha, I agree. So many people complain about the enclosures of Elektron's Model boxes being white/grey, but for me they really do evoke that late 80s-early 90s sampler/computer/game console feel.
  3. haha, it was so hard to keep it secret. I did tell some of my chip friends about it at a bar a few days before it was announced, and then a few people went and bought one after hearing my comparisons to nanoloop 2, which was nice ? Also it's a *lot* easier to get a good sound out of than the monomachine, but somewhat similar in that you can dig a bit deeper and get some unique sounds out of it. Not nearly as deep as the monomachine, but I think that's a positive point. Like I've said a few times, I could take it to a gig with nothing prepared, and improvise a whole set on the spot. Actually that's what I've done in my streams with it. It was certainly the highlight of my year last year. Being recognised by a company whose gear I really get along with is pretty huge for me.
  4. Ha, I had a disting mk3 for a few months, but ultimately the interface frustrated me, especially since putting any wav files on the sd card corrupts the "display" and makes it super hard to even figure out where you are in the menus, let alone which mode is selected. Would the QY70 be considered a rompler? Sounds aren't very editable, but it can get very lush.
  5. I had a dream about owning a reissue of an EMS Synthi AKS.. turns out I miss the one my friend used to have (and I borrowed for a few months). I doubt I'll ever have one unless b*hringer gets that clone going and I lower my standards.. or I sell alp my other gear haha
  6. Get it ? It's definitely a fun and quick way to get into making stuff again.
  7. Also known as Piggy Tracker.. I should have mentioned! https://www.littlegptracker.com/
  8. I think Trash80's one looks promising, as it's based on lsdj to an extent. He invented the "prosound" mod for gameboy, and the arduinoboy + associated lsdj code mods for midi control, so he knows his shit.
  9. More precision, or at least precision is at the forefront. And depending on who you talk to, more focus on maximising sequences; have a look at early 90s Amiga modules and there are a lot of tricks used to make it sound like there are more channels than the four that were available. Elektron sequencers were basically inspired by trackers, which have had the equivalent of parameter locks since the beginning. oof, you best not be dissing my boy richie* (* I don't know him personally, but I admire his sound design work, and he's just an all round wholesome guy)
  10. Yeah the reason why a tracker workflow works for me is that it's very fast with a keyboard. Then again, people love using LSDJ/LGPT etc on game consoles..
  11. Trash80 is working on a hardware tracker as well, but in a smaller format. Sounds fkn great though.. looks like it has mechanical keyboard buttons on it too! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9isKjUnL2b/?igshid=l0gjagmkl3rl
  12. I'm keen to see what they've done in terms of performance features, as most trackers are pretty lacking in that department. Renoise has a few things, but is still a bit rigid. I did get some interesting performances out of Buzz though, as the pattern format itself was quite modular, I'm wondering if Polyend will do something similar.
  13. I have an OP-1 again, couldn't resist. I sold the last one just before the voltage engine and arp were added; they're so good!
  14. 3 hours of pattern building that I streamed a few hours ago.. I knew this thing was versatile but damn, I really discovered tons of tricks today.
  15. I go through phases. I actually kinda want to have a go at proper composition again soon, as I've learned a lot about chord to progressions since the last prog album I made. I don't do piano rolls though, I've always felt more at home with a tracker.
  16. I'm biased, but I think the M:C would fit right in to a setup like that. Proudly digital synthesis among analog is pretty braindance, right?
  17. thx m8 ?I haven't watched any demos yet, but there's a video that runs through all of the preset patterns (they used 4 of mine!! I'm so happy), and it's really interesting to see how versatile it is depending on who's using it. I'm gonna try to get weird with it. That said though, my next video will probably be using it with the Monomachine—I paired them the other night and made some super deep space electro stuff. It also gets pretty dirty and distorted once you start pushing the levels up; I need to exploit that. I haven't tried external sequencing yet, but I'm sure it's just mono, as the "chord" setting is just a parameter, and controls a cluster of oscillators, like the chord mode on Plaits.
  18. My first 16 patterns. Hopefully a couple of them made it onto the machine. It's basically nanoloop 2 in a box ?
  19. I created some factory content for it. Not sure how much made it into the machine, but there's a video that just got posted which shows someone scrolling through presets and I could see a couple of mine in there.
  20. I didn't get that it was a dig at first, as I really do thrive in a limited environment.
