lol amazing

don't dip into modular/grid GAS has reached its pinnacle

why would you want to limit 8 tracks even further? seems like sample locks would do the trick. I think the chokes on the rytm and the MD are some of their most IDM features.

Any idea if you can make choke groups?

Cheers guys! I imagine I will have to play with one in person first. The MD made me fall in love with Elektron initially so I assume something built specifically to be its companion is probably great.

yup :) I actually picked up a Rytm right before I finished my album. however I'm not really a fan of the sound of the MnM.

Took this one right before RPM

I have no clue how you guys got a Nintendo Switch. Basically the instant (like 10 minutes after) the announcement for it started, I pre ordered it on Amazon, yet I'm still very much in the invisible line.

I fucked myself big time by buying an empty Tiptop Mantis Eurorack case

I bought a Tiptop Manits Case for $335 I fear this is the beginning of the end my friends

I just finished an album for RPM where I used only Elektron gear. I bought the OT, AR, and A4 right before hand. Not impossible but challenging.

We really need an Octatrack thread. Possibly more than the MD or MNM thread.

i saw a video on that Strom app and now I want the Analog Rytm 10x more than before. Which was already very gaseous.

Been craving some poly synth action and have been torturing myself with some OB-6 Desktop vids.

Thanks, i been playing with slide locks ever since reading this.

Ahh, I didn't realize you had the A4 and AR, yeah, those are newer machines so I imagine there are some features on 'em that you'll have to Think Different to be able to emulate. As far as fills, well, the aforementioned one-shot trigs will do some of that for you. But the scenes (controlled by thecrossfader) may also help. You might also look into some LFO tricks if you are just looking for general variation and not necessarily something you have fine-grained control over. The OT has plenty of LFO tricks up its sleeve - the ability to draw your own LFOs (can you do that on the Analogs) is fucking huge and I often overlook it. Even not owning the A4 and the AR I can tell you that the OT has its own tricks up its sleeve. Just by itself the ability to sample not only on the fly, but as part of a sequence, and in a very intricate and precise way, is fucking HUGE. But that's the nerdy shit and, frankly, you gotta walk before you can run.... I don't have both the A4 and AR I've just had the unfortunate (for my wallet) chance to play with them. One shot trigs is exactly what I was looking for, cheers to that! But holy fuck... I can use them to record too?

I think actually the stupidist thing I'm having a hard time wraping my brain around with the octatrack is adding fills. Besides setting the cross fader to adjust the pb start sample, and the freeze delay on master, I haven't figured out an easy way to add subtle drum variation. I really wish the OT had the same brains as the A4 and AR.

Eh, I gave into my GAS and got an Octatrack. I'm lost as fuck.

Thanks for the elaboration!

I fucking love Watch Dogs 2, and hated the first one. I bought it on a whim and haven't been able to put it down since. I figured since I'm familiar with security concepts that it would drive me nuts, but I actually think the story is great. Hell, I even hate multiplayer in most of these types of games but have been enjoying the seamless missions you can opt in or out of.

I think the plan is after I complete the Elektron dark trinity, I'll start a modular and the 0 coast will be the first thing I get for it besides the rack.

I'd actually love for you to elaborate on this, potentially in a spoiler tag :) I used to be a heavy user of Buzz and Renoise.

Aw man, thanks bubba and sweepstakes, thank goodness Octactacks seem to be universally sold out in everywhere but Japan atm

After bad mouthing it for years, I want an Elektron Octatrack. I've recently fallen in love with Elektron gear and I'm sick of DAWs.

Anyone still playing Destiny?
