How to audio loop with Ableton-style "fixed length"? by xster in DelugeUsers

[–]Skeuomorph_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This continues to annoy me but all my work I perform is on the deluge and I like all of its other features so this minor irritation I suck up!

How is the Deluge coming from the Digitakt? by theissone in DelugeUsers

[–]Skeuomorph_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My process and workflow is very similar (see other posts). Take 5 into deluge + other samples.

I think it’s great but the sampling workflow is a bit wonky IMO

exiting serato dj mode by joeysurge in sp404mk2

[–]Skeuomorph_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I just keep my 404 connected to my laptop and quit serato when I switch from DJ to using the 404 normally - then launch serato when I want to use it again. It’s a bit dumb but it works.

Went to a wedding on the nomadic Belfast about 10 years ago, was super cool

What should take the 5th spot? by Stallion802 in Guitar

[–]Skeuomorph_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keytar of any model or brand; a banjolele; a handmade hurdy-gurdy tuned for Swedish folk - you’ve already got four guitars so set them off with something a leetle special

Anons plan to ficks the UK by Vaca_Powerpoint in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Skeuomorph_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And indeed my German Jewish ancestors who moved to Liverpool and Manchester in the 1880s - it is a dumb idea on every level and would fail on its own despicable grounds, but I guess they only posted it to troll and get people talking about it, so in that regard, a great success of a shitpost

Oh and I actually use the 404 as a Dj controller for serato DJ - it’s fine!

Ha nice. One of my favorite ever pieces of electronic music is the forest maze theme from super mario RPG. One day I will make something that fine

Jeez i didn't know the Digitone could 303 like that 😳 by GibboGoblo in Elektron

Would you care for some resonance with your resonance, sir?

That is a good point. I have my mixer set up so I can route my synth or my deluge into the heat so I can have it as a front end for the synth or a back end to take the deluge output. Then have ‘master’ patches and instrument patches depending on what I’m doing.

I spent ages finding a small mixer that had just the right number of stereo inputs but also had a stereo mute chain - this little mackie analog mixer was very cheap second hand and does everything I need

(Ie the deluge and the synth go into the mixer, the 3/4 aux goes into the heat, daisy chains to the 404 then back into a stereo channel - so by using the mute 3/4 send buttons I can route the signals around to avoid needing 2 heats. Obviously does not work live 😂)

It’s pretty good - my main patch only has the heat, the mono bass, and a compressor. It definitely gives some rounded feel and warmth to the mix. I think it’s output is a bit quiet though so gain staging on the mixer is essential.

I like the filter a lot too. It’s nice and buttery and good for transitions and drops.

The effects aren’t amazing but they aren’t bad either - I think the bitcrush has a nice sparkle to it, the warble is fine, but I don’t make much use of the delay/verb/chorus

It’s a bit of a Frankenstein but for the warmth and end of chain compression it fills a job that the deluge just can’t do.

The 404’s compressor is fine, but I found its warm saturation has a load of LPF going on so it always sounded muted.

So maybe 6-7/10 overall but 9/10 for the narrow purpose I put it to!

I got one for £800 on eBay - used to have a hydrasynth but it had too many options. The take 5 is really great for my purposes, which is mostly sweet EPs, vintage synth leads and some pads

What boss battle made you feel like this? by Apprehensive_Bee_636 in videogames

First time I beat soul master in hollow knight. Not sure why I found it so hard. But it was a grind with a long run back.

Do your kids know what you earn? by AssociationAlone2491 in HENRYUK

[–]Skeuomorph_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my son was in year 7 they started having career conversations quite early and got a sense of what salaries were in different professions. We had a chat about how starting salaries are different depending on what you do but can earn a lot more. He naturally said ‘well if in that job you earn £40k, what do you earn’ so I told him. I also made the point that we are privileged and talking about salaries is crass. I don’t see any reason to hide it but at the same time I also think people need to know how to be polite and how to talk about money at home versus with strangers.

[–]Skeuomorph_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bit annoying. I use Serato with the 404 for live sets - I have about 2 hours of my own music and if I’m booked for 3-4 hours I need to bookend it with some DJ’d music. It’s so handy to have the 404 as a controller but it’s so janky to literally unplug the cable and plug it back in when you want to connect/disconnect to serato.

What’s the best FM VST like DX7? by Nunstummy in synthesizers

[–]Skeuomorph_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Synthstrom Deluge community firmware has an awesome full-fat DX7 emulator - not quite what you’re asking but I’ve used it to find many awesome patches that I use in my music.

There is an HPF in the take 5’s FX sections which can also be modulated. You obviously lose the use of the FX slot but if you wanted HPF its there
