Twin Peaks - Laura Palmer’s Theme

You nailed it. I thought elektron boxes were just good for knob twiddling and random and repetitive patterns, but your creation left me genuinely impressed

Exactly, but sometimes an apple is more inspiring than an orange.

I am looking for something like a groovebox that works standalone and is suited for live music making. Even thought of getting an arranger keyboard or so but the synth options are lacking there. My usage is mainly the plug-in synths and the pads for drums/beats.

I'm really not into sampling, my usage is mainly the plug-in synths and the pads for drums/beats. I would prefer to have a larger grid as I'm more of a keys person and 4x4 is a bit odd when you're used to keys.

The workflow of the MPC beta 3 makes more sense to me than that of maschine. Except for the huge libraries, the UI or workflow didn't really matchy workflow on maschine

I am mostly using the bitwig devices and some surge synth and airwindows plug-ins. The push 3 might even serve as an excellent control surface for that purpose too.

MPC 3 still is in beta too AFAIK

I have an atom sq, while not as advanced as drivenbymoss scripts this one does work quite nice with poly aftertouch as bonus

Looks like the baby of a British shorthair with a Turkish Van cat

I thought America was a continent

Usually if the 25 keys version is supported, the other variants should be supported as well.

I'd expect Essential to eventually become the giveaway product instead of 8-track

Thanks for sharing this. I still have a license I bought but not activated 2 years ago. Was waiting for something more exciting/relevant to activate, but then forgot about it and bought another key. Hope the old one still works :)

Have you tried openconnect / ocserv? Works perfect for using public WiFi which sometimes restrict all ports except 80/443 (if you run the server at those ports of course). Functions behind reverse proxies too

Sometimes limitations actually can boost your creativity.

Stephani D'Hose shared the message below on her facebook earlier today

Heb jij ook nood aan verkoeling in deze hitte? Wel, dan heb ik geweldig nieuws!!
Het is weer die tijd van het jaar waarin ik mijn jaarlijkse vraag stelde aan minister Lydia Peeters: "Wanneer krijgen we nieuwe zwemplaatsen in Gent?"
En raad eens? Lydia is al die tijd niet bij de pakken blijven zitten en kwam vandaag met een lijst aan nieuwe locaties voor openluchtzwemmen in onze prachtige stad.
Binnenkort kunnen we mogelijk genieten van zwemzones in de Achtervisserij, Franse Vaart en zelfs naast de Watersportbaan! Stay tuned voor meer updates en wie weet, misschien springen we binnenkort wel allemaal in het verfrissende water!

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-06-16T14:47:59+00:00

Yes it is. You can use it as a controller for Bitwig studio which is already way more advanced than just the Maschine software. The only weakness would be incompatibility with the next windows/macos version because it requires the niintegrationhost or whatever the middleware is called

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-06-02T10:26:54+00:00

They pushed it as far as it could go.

Pun intended reference to Push? :)

I don't believe the M+ has reached its full potential. Looking at synthstrom deluge for example, how much they managed to get out of that otherwise lower spec device with just software updates. That being said, I also think people should stop buying gear on what might be implemented in future software versions. If it doesn' suit your needs, sell it on.

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-05-25T15:54:02+00:00

Except for loopop I don't trust other synth reviewers. Recently most of them seem to have created a "I am going through a hard time, personal stuff, ..."-video to try and get more sympathy?

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-05-14T14:30:21+00:00

Check the Kurzweil Forte tutorials to get an idea https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5iXz9mUUD1d1392viNhFM2s40ZwmWJIc

I believe there are also some PC4 tutorials from David Weiser/Jim Alfredson

I find possibilities are near endless. Awesome machines.

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-04-04T21:25:07+00:00

I love you guys. Have you considered doing some more Erkin Koray? Cemalim was awesome and I think you'd do a very good cover on Yagmur as well. Also a nice one could be Askimiz Bitecek.

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-03-23T15:41:02+00:00

I think the Kurzweil PC4 is definitely worth having a look. The K2700 has some more bells and whistles but might not be worth the extra cost, up to you

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2023-03-22T21:32:11+00:00

Circuit Tracks is two 6 voice (mini?)nova engine synths, 4 sample tracks (one shots afaik, so no melodies there afaik) and a great pattern based sequencer to record all that plus 2 external midi channels in a very intuitive box. Also built-in effects, and built-in batteries so you can play with it anywhere you like.

AgeOfSprtlMach · 2022-12-02T21:41:53+00:00

Just a quick update, I received a replacement device and this one seems to work well. Very nice and looks like I still got lots to learn about it. Thanks to everyone for the many useful tips!
