That’s still up to 12 meters, massive cables.
I feel your pain.
Scope creep from customer is a cnut to deal with 
This somehow reminds me of when my dad gets a client who wants to do the visual design of the website themselves then complains that it looks ugly after its programmed…like the script changed what their fugly ass color and font choices look like lol.
update. out of all of the cables built, 2 had issues out of the ~thirty i made (there was TS and power too), i pretty sure thats a 167.92% rate of success.
i triple checked my math. ran the numbers, and then fixed them.
its a win.

as I damned near max Bitwig’s DSP meter with a handful of tracks and want to crawl back to simpler times with a hardware box. Also JFC Abbey Road Vinyl annihilates DSP. I can watch it take a chunk when activating it. Too bad their constant sales means it’s only worth a little and hardly worth selling. Turns out this was a major culprit… to be fair I’m running 256 samples like a lunatic.
The MPC 2.10 update looks tasty, admittedly I was a little surprised they went the NI route and didn’t go to 3.0; but hey, that just means free updates for people.
Still sticking with Maschine+ though. It’s annoying that any time there is a software update, NI makes you sign in again, though. Akai does a lot of things better on their hardware better in stand alone mode, though it is certainly a more mature product line. I noticed this morning that a Maschine Discord server has disappeared from my list 
The Proteus 2000 “bright piano” and “dance organ” sounds have all-but killed any GAS for a Korg M1.
Join us, join the Akai side of groove boxing…

I try really hard not to actively be a cynical piece of shit…but I think we have reached peak analog stupidity…
Don’t bother reading the whole thread, but the fact that this many people are taking such a topic seriously just makes me laugh. Like seriously? We’ve swallowed the analog kool aid so hard this is were we landed?

The audiophiles have met the synthesists. Having a toe in both pools myself, I’d say it’s a dangerous combination.
For reference, I just took the last page of a thread extolling the virtues of a $2500 pair of headphones that they released 67 pairs of for the world last week. I don’t think I see a single comparison there to a headphone under $2000, and some of those run much more. I think it’s kind of ridiculous, and I like Audeze (I have the LCD-X). Some of the hyperbole and comparison to other gear without any mention of its actual function is what the Elektronauts thread reminds me of. Just a bunch of people justifying their purchases to each other.
Good thing we don’t have any threads like that here…

and here I am some peasant with some 250ohm DT-770 Pros 
(and ATH-M50s before that).
Lol my other set is a pair of Senn HD280s that are intermittently dead in one ear. I’d say the LCD-X is a little OTT for most, but I decided to get them in lieu of a speaker setup because I’m still young and looking at constant moves. I want a portable setup that doesn’t depend on my room. So that’s my justification, a pair of the X is about the same as what I’d want to spend on speakers, stands, and room treatment. But that’s a specific checklist of things I wanted these to do/eliminate the need for. It’s not just “OMG pretty headphones!”.

Any midi sysex experts here?
I’m hoping to find a way to edit a single patch change for a Prophet6 to land on a different bank and patch slot.
anyone?
I’ve got big project ahead of me - if i can get my head around the hex/sysex stuff it would make this a lot more streamlined. I’m needing to merge sets of patches from 2 different prophet 6’s and re-organize the patch/bank order. All of the editors i’ve tried have been shit, listing patch “names” when the pro6 lists its patches as #'s
edit: ideally i’d like to go through this show file (playback and midi) - trigger the existing patch, grab it as a single patch via Sysex, and then edit the string of data to move it to a different bank/patch slot.
I saw that too and literally rolled my eyes!

Im starting to GAS over a PlayDifferently Model 1 mixer, 6 stereo channels, perfect to place on my desktop and hook up synths, drum machines, samplers.
But the price…
Oh noes!
After being late, the Elektron Power Handle is to be recalled!
What will people do???

LOL. How did they fuck up connecting batteries in series to a power socket?? How Elektron!? Short circuit and overheating will do it. but JFC, it’s a dead simple design and broken (going with the factory cut corners on them… but hey)

Been trying for that last 12 hours to order an Avalon, theres that many people wanting one its impossible to get on the website 
S2400 should arrive about next Wednesday.
out of interest i payed £814.15 for it, just payed the import tax of £154.12, so all together it cost me £968.27
Softube were doing a deal on the Oto Biscuit plugin so i finally bought it after having a dabble with the demo for £70, which i thought was a good price especially since the same exact plugin made by softube on the UAD platform is still £189 , it sounds great too
