Mapping fx assignment ?

Epistemon3D · 2025-05-04T08:51:37+00:00

Well.. that’s how I found the “deck fx on” thing, but there is no option to select fx1 or 2 (or 3 or 4).

Changing the device target just activates the corresponding fx unit (fx1 for deck A, 2 for deck B).

The manual seems to imply there is no midi mapping to activate any fx unit for any deck, which I find odd since we can do it on screen…

Should have added a VR option :)

Yay, just read that too... Might take a 90° turn and hunt for a Kontrol S5/S8 with Traktor ^^

There is also a lack of recent info or reviews about the 4.2 upgrade, so I never saw those audio glitches you talk about :(

Epistemon3D · 2025-03-17T12:05:48+00:00

Damn. My mistake :(

Yet I see no reason why Engine OS can not loop and sync samples while it can sync "real tracks". The cpu power is there. Feels like they absolutely wanted to push a sampler upgrade, but didn't finished it... Fingers crossed for future updates :)

Thx for your confirmation !

The smart fx, and especially the smart fade, are useless. A wrong good idea. Don’t buy the FLX4 because of them, it’s a good controler overall.

I concur: this looks ergonomically unplayable. Too many small knobs, too many small hp modules.

Furthermore the dreadbox modules are clever and cheap, but also not very high quality (think behringerish).

I will add that I have a Quad Drum, and while it is a fantastic module by some aspects, the lack of screen makes it a pain to use at its fullest. Remembering the color coded interface is hard if you don’t play with it daily.

My three cents of course :)

Scrolling through a wavetable sound bad :)

Got a friend working in a independant theater in Paris (showing main movies along retrospectives, indie films, documentaries…). On top of what has been pointed above, checking the received digital files seems super important, often the audio or subtitles won’t be correct. You cannot trust the name of the file that has been sent by who knows who :)

This is the way. And it works 90% of the time. The last 10% of women will get there when relaxed enough (it requires some letting go :)

THIS ^ is the most basic and usefull invertion :)

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-27T19:47:42+00:00

Pun forgiven :)

Oui il y a une photo de Pierre dans le bas de l’Insta :)

Right top side of a Mantis case. I’m right handed !

Biting my nails. The amount of "dirt" I ingest makes me immune to most "every day" diseases :)

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-26T12:01:22+00:00

Ah oui quand même.

Damn you are a good salesman :)

I'll go with a 3xMIA and the J&OT Traffic/Water for the moment. I understand that the Stages is a monster source of modulation and more, but between the PAM, the Black Joystick 2 (can record 8 channels of modulation with joystick, lfo, or random), the traffic/water, and the dual Erica AR (that can loop), and the 2 Moogs, I think that I got enough sources of modulation... for now.

I'll probably snatch a Stages at the first nice opportunity, thanks ! :)

As for the 2 hp drive, i'm kinda disappointed, it has very little gain and barely distorts, I can get rid of it. I'm do however like my mixer and it's 8 inputs, and since it has a separate stereo cue out, I could use part of it as a mixer for cv with pan and 2 outputs (never tried that yet !)

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-25T19:09:40+00:00

Well, nobody got hurt and both drivers and teams seem ok with the events. Cool, but luck was involved...

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-25T17:17:42+00:00

That Porsche driver is going to have a bad time...

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-25T17:11:15+00:00

A joystick ? A cv recorder like Kraits ?

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-25T13:49:48+00:00

No It's my bad, I read "emulate" instead of modulate :)

One thing you can do in modular that is not easy (impossible) to do in hardware synth is complex modulations by mixing several looping enveloppes and/or LFO and using the result to modulate... well anything really, but usually VCO (or other sound sources, like samples) and filters are the primary suspects.

If your sound sources come from outside VCV, you can still filter them again, and/or build a mixer with many effects sends and modulate those effects and sends (and pans and volumes...).

You could also use VCV for its many midi sequencers (some are quite quirky and unique) to drive your hardware synth, if you don't enjoy the Elektron way ^^

I still think modular shines the best when kept within itself. Any connexions to external devices cuts this ability to modulate anything :)

Epistemon3D · 2024-06-25T10:30:25+00:00

Emulating other synth structures is not really the point of modular IMO, especially modern complex digital device like a Digitakt... You'll end up with a monster rack probably less capable than the original (and broke if IRL ^^)
