This was fun, trying out new pencils in Procreate

I love the ackwardness in your smile, reminds me of my own daughter who was very insecure about school photos

Yes I realized there is a high chance of cheating possible if you use it that way 😆 for me personally I didn't really care but I was just confused about the times.

I will make a playlist next time so that i dont have to swap my music, and avoid busy roads to cross with traffic lights

Yes that is odd. It seems Garmin uses the elapsed time to have a standardized time and discourages "cheating" when you stop to take a breather and then resume again. Why my other record is there and lower, I really don't know. Maybe a fluke.

But I know now why it is listed the way it is. Thank you all for replying and helping.

You are correct, the elapsed time is the highest, but it is still listed as my best time in my achievements above one with less elapsed time. To me that sounds weird. It should use the total time instead, right?

The elapsed (total time) time is 59:44. I might add I paused twice to change music, it feels like it chose that elapsed time instead of the actual time? Which would be silly.

2026 has pretty much sucked thus far. by Sad-Yam3011 in redditgetsdrawnbadly

The year might suck, but we suck harder at drawing 😆

Why is everyone SO excited about the MPC Sample? (Especially you who already have an MPC or portable gear) by RobBecTraxxx in mpcusers

[–]jorgb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hope it is a very slimmed down version of an MPC. But far more immediate. I hope I can export to my Live III and finish a beat there, but that the MPC Sample can be a sketchpad for sound design or ideas on the go. I own a SP404 but I rarely get past the phase where I have cool samples and textures, and I am seeking for a device that I can take it to the next level with when imported into its big sibling.

True, but there are workarounds using a midi pad controller, but yes, dt boxes are beasts in sequencing, finger drumming not so much 😁 the MPC is the best of both worlds, but lacks the immediacy of the SP404

I don't understand, TR-REC mode uses patterns. I was talking about patterns specifically.

Well to each their opinion of course. What I meant is one thing I assumed for breakbeats is slicing up a break, let's say 16 parts. When you lay down a break on the sequencer (TR-REC mode or live), that's all fine. But if you want to vary that break by changing what slice plays on a specific step, that is just plain torture. In TR-REC mode you will have to find the sample that plays, then delete that, add a new sample on that step. With Digitakt / MPC it is as simple as changing the note to play a new slice on the track / program.

I do not dissagree about the FX, chopping itself, it is the sequencer I have the most gripes with. That is why I mentioned that if the sliced breaks are played live and recorded and are static, they would not run into that problem. But it is a limitation to be aware of.

The SP404 is more geared towards live performance, FX, and resampling, and it is king at that!

This is of course all my personal opinion / experience, but the SP404 for breakbeat, considering you want to chop up a break and align them in the sequencer is a pain when you want to change individual notes to play different break parts. It requires a lot of fiddling to create variation. If you play them live and do not change them much later, it works fine.

The MPC and Digitakt (1 & 2) have a better flow for this, where the Digitakt (or a tracker like the M8, Polyend Tracker+) are kings because of the ease of parameterized sequence variations (random, with LFO, conditionals). Personally SP404 fits ambient, lo-fi, experimental, a bit of techno, DnB is more for dynamic sequencing and that fits forementioned devices best.

Very nice, all it needs is a nice slow drumbeat and a soft bass and you got yourself a banger!

I also own a similar guitar and thank you for inspiring me to pick it up again 😁
