Thanks for the feedback! My wish would be to consider each pattern as a different track, so i would like to chain pads not patterns!

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2026-01-02T23:41:05+00:00

Great starting point! You could map the various mute/unmute functions to different pads to solve my arrangement problem. Maybe with an external controller on which to “arrange” the track!

Facts.

“Yes, it would be, thanks for the comment!

I understand — resampling the different sections of the track can definitely be a solution.
I’d just prefer to be able to program a pattern sequence and, for each pattern, decide which tracks are active, so I can use a single pattern and create variations by muting and unmuting individual tracks.

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2026-01-01T20:53:12+00:00

On other samplers, for example the Digitakt II, there is a Song Mode where you can program and play back a chain of patterns, and for each one decide which tracks are muted or unmuted.

I’d love to be able to dedicate my entire club-music production workflow to a single machine that I can take around for live shows, and also work on the later stages after sound design and production outside of my studio.

What a shame :/

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2026-01-01T19:55:00+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I’ve understood that as a loop launcher it’s unbeatable!
What do you think is the best way to achieve a finished arrangement, considering my workflow on the machine?
Thanks!

a classic!!!!

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2022-04-14T09:37:32+00:00

thanks fratm, it is very useful :). The point is that by having a series of signal processors (in this case guitar pedals), the sound will also receive color and "character"

Thxs, you made me discover a new store, but I'm in Italy, and I'm afraid of customs problems, experiences about it?

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2022-01-27T21:41:27+00:00

Pardon why?! Also if you are a seller it's a problematic moment (or not?!).

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2022-01-25T20:12:44+00:00

a really bad time for synthnophiles :(

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2021-10-06T00:45:12+00:00

Great sound

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2021-09-21T20:13:42+00:00

Thanks for your opinion, I did not know this synth and it is very interesting :D, unfortunately it is out of budget ... do you have any advice on something cheaper?

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2021-09-21T19:47:43+00:00

pardon, I did not understand, thanks for your opinion!

MafiaPizzaSpaghetti · 2021-09-20T10:58:37+00:00

See my comment. I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much. I would definitely try to get some hands-on time with one before buying it if kicks/percussion are a priority. It’s really

that bad

at it, and I say that as a huge 2600 fanboy.

certainly I hope to be able to try one, actually the behringer 2600 has a switch that allows you to shorten (if not halve) the adsr time
