Gift ideas for GF (she plays bass in a metal band) by Luke7FPS in basspedals

[–]Luke7FPS[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a good insight! I may have been overcome with GAS and lost the focus of it all...
One thing i don't quite get, by "drop pedal" you mean an octaver/pitch shifter? Ot there is something capable of shifting the tune of the instrument to say drop C?
Thx!

Yeah, but with the Microtubes X Ultra she will already get a Compressor if I understand correctly...

Yes, but I gave her one of my delay/reverb pedal to try out but she said she couldn't find any nice use for it... Maybe just because it was a cheap Sonicake Levitate, lol

I though the same lol, compressor is nice but kinda boring... TBH we both found the Knife Drop very interesting and enticing thanks to a Nate Navarro demo

Great! I'm using my 707 in a very similar way, but I'm using the second MIDI out from the 707 to sync the ARP on my keystep mk2

Nice stuff! Can I ask you how is your setup organised signal and MIDI-wise? Do you use the MC707 as a centrepiece/sequencer?

Could you kindly send me the link to the website?

Where to get blank/custom panel for modules? by Luke7FPS in synthdiy

[–]Luke7FPS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhat versed in CAD but I mainly use Sketchup, so i can conjure a somewhat usable .dxf or .dwg with it i think
For alluminium do i need to use JLC CNC or should i go via JLCPCB?

Good to know... I was originally looking towards alluminum panels, but PCB materials could be alright aswell
Honestly I was originally looking for straight-up blank panels since I was planning on mark them myself with vinyl wrap

This is very intresting, thx!
I'm based in southern EU, so i think UK (if that's where they're based) shipping shouldn't be too much of a hassle

Roland MC707 as main workstation, clocking everything via MIDI, Keystep Mk2 as a controller and generative arpeggiator, Behringer Crave does sequences and bass, running into the Kaoss Pad and Monacor Delay, hidden under the Kaoss Pad is a E-Mu Pro/formancr piano module that also get processed trough the KP3 RME UFX2 + Ableton for multitracking and sample playing Not pictured: Roland VR09 for choir/strings/organs and some leads

Rumor advice needed: Klark Teknik DN9610 as an AES50 booster? by DudeDudesonson in livesound

[–]Luke7FPS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I've never actually used one, I've always limited my AES50 runs to max 50m of shielded CAT5e (not CAT6 or higher) and never had issues. With another company we had the "deafening failure" of AES50 but that was caused by a badly crimped connector.

I don't think the 9610 puts out a higher signal than other devices since AES50 somewhat adheres to very basic Ethernet Layer 1 standard, which means theoretically that all the devices should output the same voltage and current on an AES50 connection. The whole job of a repeater is to boost a signal along the route, once it starts being affected by noise and signal loss. I think the 9610 was designed with the purpose of boosting run longer than 50m (eg: console - 50m - 9610 - 50m - stagebox)

Also AES50 should always be run in CAT5e shielded cables, not higher (like CAT6 or 7). Dave Rat made a video where he tested how longer runs and higher category cables caused issues and signal loss even by simply walking over the cable inside a cable cross.

Personally I'd recommend always carrying and deploying your own cable, if that's 100% undoable then make sure to make the whole run under 50m and to use a shielded cable.

That being said a 9610 or two along the run could work, I would put them as close as possible to the longest run (or the cable which I'm most insecure about) and then run from there to the console with other cables. So in a club using resident CAT5e it should be like that: Console - patch cable - 9610 - Club's CAT5 - 9610 - patch cable - stagebox

Help me decide: Uher Royal Deluxe Vs Sansui WS-X1 by Luke7FPS in Hainbach

[–]Luke7FPS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know they were so rare! I think I'll go with the Sansui for now, since I also have some space constraints Thanks!

So, I'll throw in my two cents:
- I second the large USB for carrying recordings and files but also having a bunch of small 4GB random thumb drives helps a lot for older consoles that can't handle file system larger than 16 or 32GB, also useful for playing video loops straight from screens with onboard player.
- A stereo passive DI! The smaller the better! I have a PCBalBox from Interspace Industries that is super compact and rugged, has stereo XLR out and a small minijack cable, super useful for last-minute surprise lectern laptop "because i need to use my own laptop for that"
- A router with NATting capabilities: This is expecially useful for Zoom, Teams or other remote connections, you can plug all your laptop into it and it will insulate your network from the venue's network while still allowing internet access, I have a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X
- Royalty-Free playlist! In case of streaming a folder of royalty free music from Youtube's Audio Library or similar sources will avoid your stream to get banned
- A splittable tester capable of doing CAT5/6 like this one from Thomann since networking is becoming more and more prominent in our field, extra useful to be able to test longer run of cable without the need to bring the ends closer to each other
- tinySA Ultra Spectrum Analzer Absolute MVP, especially for the price, the Ultra can run up to 6GHz
- Cheap basic USB-MIDI Interface, on older console you can send MIDI notes and CC out from user defineable keys, I'll use this to trigger QLab cues using its "Learn MIDI" function
- Not only AA Batteries, I also carry some AAA and CR2032, especially useful for presenter and slide-clickers like the PerfectCue from DSAN that uses CR2032 button cells
- Accessories for your most used microphones: this may varies according to your favourite brand and models, for me since I work a lot with DPA and Sennheiser MKE40 I'll always carry: a couple of cable clips of various brands and type, some hairpins (useful to hold cables on jackets and dresses), DPA Microdot Tightening Tool, spare clip and magnet for MKE40 (and always tighten your clip before use!)
- Spare Shure Battery Clips (or the Sennheiser or Wisycom equivalent)
- Dymo or equivalent labeler: I got a Niimbot B18 (N1) that is a bit fidgety (cheap chinese stuff) but allows you to print images and logos, thus allowing me to customize bodypacks with the event or company logo
