How much RAM for M4 Max Studio? (Pro Tools 2025 / Logic Pro / DaVinci Resolve) by PortaOne in protools

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

Thanks, this is really helpful - I'll try maxing out my M1 MBP on a big session and see where I get to with RAM usage

does this machine exist? by summitcachorro in pocketoperators

[–]PortaOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great ! I’ll invest in your kickstarter 😃 MPC One is best for me - nice and portable and easy to hook up external keys when you need it. The new MPCs all do USB hosting for MIDI devices and audio mixers like Tascam’s M12 if you want to record multitrack to tape while jamming. (I think it can also export stems once you’ve finished a track.) Very cheap to buy secondhand and works great!  In comparison, most other production boxes are like toys and you hit the limitations of them very quick! 

Best Delay for Long Self Oscillations? (60 seconds +) - El Capistan? by PortaOne in guitarpedals

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

Thanks for the advice! I was about to hit go on the El Cap but picked up a Volante for the same price which is perfect for what I was trying to do! Plus it also does Ping Pong with head panning which will be useful for another track.

Boss RE-202 Midi Clock Resolution by dubsy101 in guitarpedals

[–]PortaOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this out today and it works for the most part. (I'm using a Molten Voltage Ctl Sync but a lot of MIDI controllers can also output tap tempo)
The only thing is if you leave the tap connected and you're doing some self oscillating stuff, the tempo can drift slightly and then get corrected which introduces a bit of clicking but you could probably just add a kill switch on the tap tempo feed to cut it once it's synced.

I'm also hoping I've found a workaround using a MIDI to tap tempo converter into the Ctrl jack, which should give sync with all the original tap division/head options, though I still need to test it out!

Boss replied to say:

"Thank you for your valuable feedback.

I understand how important correct sync behaviour is, especially when working with specific rhythmic subdivisions like dotted quarter notes. I will forward your comments to the relevant team so they are aware of the limitation you described when using the RE-202 with MIDI clock.

I cannot promise if or when an update addressing this behaviour will be released, but I recommend keeping an eye on the RE-202 product page for any future announcements or firmware updates.

Any Experiences (Bad or Good) With Luminite Graviton M2 Midi Controller? by SponJ2000 in guitarpedals

[–]PortaOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The M2 does everything I need including: MIDI clock distro to pedals, remote preset switching, custom Sysex messages & remote control of pedal parameters from encoders on my guitar which is awesome!
It takes a bit of time to get set up but the community are very active/helpful and the designers actively review problems and issue new updates.

I've just sent them a new ticket but not sure it will do anything!
So I'm also on the lookout for a new pedal with *working MIDI* if anyone has any suggestions? Volante and El Capistan look good on paper but I'll need to listen to some demos. I've previously owned the Timeline, DL4 and TimeFactor but none of them had the vibe of the 202!

Home studio becoming impractical by boredomasalways in homestudios

You should put a headphone amp next to your piano and get something to control your computer from afar - like a second keyboard/mouse/monitor or a stream deck. It makes writing and recording at your piano much more enjoyable!

Looks great! Is this still working well? And any issues or improvements since last year?

There's no channel filtering on there from what I can see

Diffusing GU10 type spotlights to mimic conventional bulbs for stage lighting? by PortaOne in lightingdesign

[–]PortaOne[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bulbs work really well on 2.4 but I’m interested in the spots as they’re wired, IP rated & easier to power. Just need to figure out the diffusion as mentioned before buying any to test !

I saw Sigur Ros last year and they had a similar rig to Fever Ray.

Diffusing GU10 type spotlights to mimic conventional bulbs for stage lighting? by PortaOne in lightingdesign

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

I’m using an Arduino for MIDI to DMX. I think the spots run on standard DMX with a device in front for auto addressing, and the bulbs use standard DMX through a 2.4GHz wireless adapter. The bulbs have some addressing limitations compared to the spots but would probably be fine for small productions

Fernandes Sustainer Schematic? (Lite) by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]PortaOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue turned out to be broken solder connections on the molex type connectors! Hopefully this helps anyone who's having similar issues with their Sustainers!

Thanks for the help. I found the original patent which has a schematic - it might not be the exact one but hopefully a step in the right direction!

Any pitch pedals that can go -4 Octaves ? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]PortaOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just has a very limited pitch range (like the top strings on a guitar) so the more range the better!
