Ricky Martinez has changed his set-up more times than Mick jagger has had girl friends 
Last time i seen him he was pratting about with a little eurorack live techno case, i thought that novelty won’t last him long 
oh no it was that zen delay too, he claimed it was the best thing since sliced bread, so good I’ve never seen him with it since , he’s worse than me.
Oh well, I went for it and ordered the circuit.
I just hope I can play the scales on it as a mini push type thing to complement my MPC, and add some one shot samples with the new firmware.
It might be a pretty decent pair, only downside is now I am going to have to figure out how to reconnect the stuff! First world problems.
If I’m not mistaken the synth voices are from the Ultra/Mini Nova. I liked the Ultra Nova a lot. Like, I’d consider buying one again.
I’ve not actually used a Circuit though. I was interested in it but there was something about the way the workflow of the synth voices worked I didn’t like on paper. Personally, I don’t like step sequencers as keyboards because it is hard for me to visualize it as a piano keyboard which is how i know the little theory I know.
i was a bit shortsighted ordering the two moog mother 32s,but i figured it out.
had to rerout a couple cables,and lack of power was easily solved.
but i do have to wait for some longer patch cables.
the idea being syncing my korg minilogue with the moogs.
which can be done.the korg has cv in and out as well as sync in and out.
i may be a little nutty.but this is exactly what i had in mind!
there is a method to my madness.despite my insanity.
more to come soon.cheers biatches!
I have not figured everything out yet, it has been a busy week. 
I was able to change scales but something was not quite right with recording those notes into the sequencer. I will have more time tonight to break open the manual. FWIW it is a fantastic beast so far, lots of great sounds in there.
yeah I am having trouble syncing my Mono with my LXR drum synth myself. I want to have the LXR start and stop the Mono, just like I can do with my SQ-1 and Monologue, but it does not want to play nice. first world problems, as you said.
But what a fuggin sound! Congrats!
So, my hardware is sound hardware that I’ve been after the past few months. I got a pair of Audeze LCD-X used in the middle of March.
I wrote a review on them over on head-fi, the short version is these things are freaking insane - like tell which kind of tape the studio was using that day based on the noisefloor insane. So, naturally, I wondered what these could sound like if I was running them off anything other than a cheap headphone amp from 8 years ago and landed on the Drop THX AAA 789, which has equally insane specs to match.
It doesn’t say there, but the number I keep hearing thrown around on the noise floor for this thing is at least -130db. So I ordered that tonight, should be here in a week or so.
You can find the deeper measurements on either of these if you want, but I assume you’ll take my word for it
Anyways, really excited to hear this when it comes.
this track/performance is sublime, i had to ask him about the camera as i have not idea about them.
He’s using a Blackmagic pocket 4k, hollywood is now affordable in your home studio.
There was a whole philosophical debate on the DSI forums about that. Basically, their answer boiled down to “play in time and accept the more human feel of our instruments”. That was not a popular opinion, but they continue to stand by it AFAIK.
Being the overpaid bachelor that I am I decided “fuck it”, bit the bullet and ordered the polyend tracker with the beer money I havent been spending over the last 2 months… 4 week waiting list at thomann was as good as I could find though 
I feel the built in speakers are a bit of a gimmick but who knows? Anyway, MPC Live Mk2 -
Yeah, I am really not into all the built in speaker thing, but this new update really makes me gas for the mpc one. Luckily for me and my bank they are basically impossible to come by in Canada right now.
^What’s up with the new update, what does it add?
More buttons, 8x cv outs. Speaker. Not sure what else.
Becringer posted an MPC inspired sample groovebox today. Becringer Jam. Kinda looks like a messed up child of an MPC and the Polyend Tracker^^
That looks interesting, I’m not totally opposed to uli’s stuff anymore. Affordable hardware? I saw bring it on.
As for the update I was mainly curious about the MPC software and if it’s seen any recent revisions.
Afaik the new MPC Live will have the same os as the MPC X and MPC One.
The 2.8 OS introduces multi midi mode/midi routing (finally!) and multitrack recording, retrospective record (always records in the background).
If you scroll down, here’s what’s new in OS 2.8
The recent OS updates brought so much stuff, lots of fx from AIR, synth plugins and whatnot so I kinda lost track of what happend^^
It’s all the midi implementations people have been asking for since day one. In and out routing, internal routing etc. Plus pad performance mode stays when you leave that page. Those are the big 2. Basically stuff I can more or less do in jjos, but the touch gui is a lot nicer than the mpc 1000.
Edit: I might just pull the plug on a pre order and wait around till they come back in stock in canada. I am currently mixing a bunch of tracks anyway so I am not in a rush to start making new beats.
Edit edit: I regret selling the live I had for a bit, although I do like the form of the one a bit better, much more akin to a 1000.
Yeah, the midi update makes the new MPCs really appealing…
