  1. Hello, all. Couldn't find a thread dedicated to this new sequencer I just found out about, so I figured I'd start one out.

     

    It looks amazing. It seems to have everything I ever wanted in a hardware sequencer:

     

    • midi fx - especially MIDI delay -- you can make some whack shit with MIDI delay and a monosynth
    • long pattern length - Why is it always just 64 steps? How about 64 bars? Yeah that's more like it.
    • individual lengths and time signatures
    • cv and midi - strangely only looks like 1 or two outputs, unfortunately. For something that looks to bill itself as a central hub for MIDI output that seems a little silly
    • use of standard MIDI files - so I can just drop them in the machine from my laptop. No matter what, a laptop will always be best for managing MIDI in the studio.

     

    Seems kind of unclear whether it could be a live MIDI looping device via an external controller, though, which would just about make it perfect. Also it's unclear how many "songs" you can have loaded at once and how easy it is to switch between them.

     

    Anyone getting one?!

  2. it's definitely a good idea to argue about track titles right now

    Cuz like, it's up to us, you know? :wacko:

     

    Honestly the numbers could be anything from a patch number on a synth he's got to the auto-save version of that track he's got to some track list order. So, just leave it, eh?

    I think Avril 14th melody was developed from 28 organ

    I was just about to say.

     

    Same theme, anyway. Exactly the same first few intervals.

     

    Yeah, the whole thing is practically the same as Avril 14th. Well, with percussion of course.

    about?

     

    Hahahaha! Nice try, mate. I think Avril 14th must be transposed up a little.

     

    I wouldn't expect them to be exact, though. I mean, with my own work I definitely take sketches of things that didn't really turn out and rework them, remix them, steal from them, etc. Sounds like this is what happened here with Organ/Avril14th

  4. When this is over, who's gonna make a separate thread with a .zip of all the tracks so I don't have to sift through this thread that will inevitably be 500 pages long?

     

    Kthx

     

    *goes back to catatonic listening*

     

    edit: Haven't gotten a damn thing done today. I ain't even mad.

  5. haha :p

     

    LOVE my jx3p. dare i say it does more than most other analogue synths twice the price on ebay?

     

    i like that last one too, microwaves are cool. whats on top of the sampler? midi controller?

    Got my JX-3P for 99usd about 10 years ago. Only thing wrong with it was the volume pot had no knob and also the volume pot was also a little flaky (had to be in a certain position for it to actually produce sound). Replaced the volume pot myself for 15usd, a new knob for 3 and never looked back.

     

    Recently redid my whole studio. Will be adding Volca Keys/Beats this week, they're on the way.

    Nice and clean... I like that. :happy:

  6. lol did we get three consecutive studio photos all with a jx3p in them?

    Honestly I wasn't going to post anything until I saw a couple JX-3Ps up. And yeah, mine is not actually pictured there but, hey, my room was way too messy on that side... ;)

     

    Also, want want want Kiwi Technics mod.

  7. What's the top left thing with all the patch cables exploding out of it?

    Eurorack modular:

     

    Malekko Richter Oscillator II

    Pittsburgh Modular Filter

    Pittsburgh Modular ADSR

    Pittsburgh Modular Dual VCA

    MakeNoise Echophon

    Pittsburgh Modular Outs

    Encased in a home built red oak case with 4ms DIY power kit.

     

    Still some things I need for it (most notably an LFO or two), but I'm working on it ;)

    2) I've been thinking lately to make field recordings. Never done that before. What recorder would you recommend?

     

     

    3) What do you say, one last shot at naming my guitar? ;p

     

     

    2) i dunno much about what's good i have a habit of using absolutely anything

     

    3) your guitar is now called enrico

     

     

     

    2) What would you use to record a soft, silent sound close to you (say a squeaky coffee pot), but at the same time you dont want louder distant noises to be recorded (clocks, cars)? Are there recorders that might filter that out? Or do you have to do that with software?

     

    3) Enrico who?

     

     

    i dunno i'd just use whatever shit mic i had to hand and then eq it out later :D

     

     

    I would be much obliged if you could name my Roland JX-3P and my euro-rack modular rig that I'm in the middle of putting together.

     

    Cheers!

     

    jx-3p's are ace, did u get a controller? those things are so cute

     

    your jx-3p is now called brian

     

    your eurorack is now called galactor

     

    Unfortunately, I don't have the controller. I'm planning on installing the KiwiTechnics mod at some point (hopefully in the near future). It's a pretty rad mod, pretty much replaces the original CPU, giving things like MIDI control to all parameters, broader range LFO's (an additional LFO, too, I believe), being able to adjust the on-board chorus, stuff like that. So I could just use a knob box instead of the controller, though, as you say, the programmer is pretty cute. Details here: http://kiwitechnics.com/jx3pupgrade.htm. I'm hoping I don't mess up Brian's guts when I do that. But yeah, it was a super cheap pawn shop buy, going to be replacing its volume pot tomorrow after years of having to have it in a certain position for it to be able to play. Always loved it since I got it, though.

     

    Galactor's guts are still being put together.

     

    Do either of you have children? I'm a father myself. My sons love playing with my gear. My older one (he's 5) made a track on Audiotool.com the other night. I think he's going in the right direction with it. ;)

     

     

    tbh what you're doing there is gonna be way better than some cute controller, pls disregard me

     

    rob does, i don't

     

    Hey Rob, do your kid(s?) get to play with your gear from time to time or have they made any creations at all? Would you ever consider taking them on tour with you (if/when they're old enough, I suppose)? I guess the first question should be, are they interested in your work at all, or are they just like, "Oh, Da's making sounds again..." I've found that a lot of crazy sounds my kids make while exploring the world have inspired some things I was working on at the time. You ever get that?
