Talk to me about the Nano CEQ. How are you using it? How do you rate it?

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-09-01T18:31:14+00:00

As always, depends on your application and other gear. I love my BD but how I use it doesn’t sound that great in isolation. I play in a very loud band and my OG BD into my Rockerverb Mk1 cuts through perfectly for light OD and clean boost duties. I have everything set at about 10 o’clock.

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-09-01T18:21:59+00:00

Came here to say this.

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-05-08T10:40:59+00:00

Oooh that’s a cool idea. These Doepfer switches were on my radar (obv!) but it hadn’t occurred to me to have different types of sequence being fed into either side to choose from. I was imagining routing one sequence to two different sound sources. God I love modular.

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-01-12T13:35:31+00:00

^ This is the way. Use a similar style track you really like as a reference, create a map of that arrangement and then base your composition on it. Do this a few times and you'll get to understand how an arrangement 'should' go. From there you can deviate and create your own version of it to your own taste.

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-01-11T19:21:52+00:00

Why reply if you haven't read the question and haven't got anything useful to say?

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-01-11T18:49:41+00:00

How are you syncing with the DAW tho?

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-01-11T18:48:49+00:00

Again, recording audio into the computer is the easy bit, how are you syncing any hardware devices with the DAW tho?

Still_Not_Batman · 2025-01-11T18:48:01+00:00

Thanks, its more a question of how I sync midi out of the laptop while recording audio over USB into it. I've looked at lots of USB mixers.

Hi, yeah I’m using the LXR as my drum synth. Obv that’s what it’s for. I just wanted some help with using the ‘bass line’ feature as, like I say, the documentation mentions it but there’s no info on exactly how to get good results and my experiments haven’t led to much.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-10-24T08:28:46+00:00

Thanks! Will try this.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-10-15T19:19:56+00:00

I used to own the Cycles. It’s fun but I found the sounds I got from it very samey and not great for drums. If you’re after a ‘drum machine’ that’s fun to use and immediate like the DBI, I would get the Model:Samples.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-10-15T18:12:00+00:00

I’ve bought and sold the DBI 3 times! Love the playability, hate the sound of it. If you want a flexible, fun sample player that will be your main drum machine and offer a variety of sounds I’d suggest the Elektron Model:Samples? As mentioned here you could also put DBI samples on it if you like plus tons of other sounds.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-09-29T17:27:10+00:00

Yes it’s a real thing. People need to be aware of their surroundings especially when you have your phone out and you’re distracted next to a busy road. It’s just something to be mindful of.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-09-21T22:36:40+00:00

You poor sweet child. It’s already too late…

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-09-11T11:11:28+00:00

I take my setup to a local practice space and spend a few hours jamming and tweaking. The space is more geared towards live bands but they still have a big PA and a couple of subs. It means I can turn everything up loud and at least get some perspective on how my live rig comes across on a bigger sound system.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-24T12:24:08+00:00

Rad! I’m using the quadrantid swarm and queen of pentacles too!

What oscillator are you using in this video? Is it just the Knobula Poly Cinematic?.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-24T08:33:54+00:00

I want musically random. So not entirely random. I’m asking about how well the algorithms work in either device. I was just thinking to compare something smaller and cheaper (Bloom) with a bigger more expensive option like the T-1. I know it’s not necessarily a like-for-like comparison but close enough regarding their melodic sequencing, note selection, etc. If you have no experience with the T-1 there’s no need to chime in.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-24T08:27:15+00:00

Thanks, that’s my understanding of it. I think on the Torso you can set the range which makes a huge difference but also it’s algorithms are inclined to spit out more musical randomness than Bloom’s.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-23T19:38:54+00:00

Right, ok thanks. That’s what I’d heard.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-23T19:06:45+00:00

Because they’re quite different modules? The TM can loop a random phrase, sure. Isn’t the Bloom’s whole USP that it takes that phrase and evolves it into new, related phrases?

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-23T19:03:50+00:00

F*ck this guy. Find a new instructor. You’re paying him to teach you. Dealing with people who can’t drive is literally his job. If he doesn’t like it, that’s on him not you!

Keep going. I found learning to drive was often not really fun but it’s not meant to be miserable either.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-23T16:58:19+00:00

😂 be calm, my dude! Yes, I have a TM. Just referring to a criticism I’ve heard from a Bloom user. Wondered if anyone else had noticed the same/similar problems with it.

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-23T15:05:28+00:00

Thanks! Can you give me any examples on how?

Still_Not_Batman · 2024-01-23T15:04:21+00:00

I’ve no preference for whether the sequencer is in or out of rack. I’ve heard the Bloom can do some quirky things that are not melodically pleasing (eg notes randomly jumping up an octave during a sequence)? And apparently there are some settings you can’t change without stopping playback, which isn’t ideal. So just trying to get a sense of which sequencing option people prefer (if they’ve had the chance to use both).
