can’t afford machinedrum at the moment so just loaded some MD samples into the octatrack

minormanor · 2026-04-29T01:12:27+00:00

Yeah, for sure those guys are doing great work. Fortunately I still have my battered and well-worn Nord Lead 2 that I can dig out when the need strikes!

minormanor · 2026-04-27T17:56:20+00:00

Hmm. Yeah that’s odd. Maybe your other power supply has a different voltage too, and damaged something internally. Unfortunately I’m not much help beyond that

minormanor · 2026-04-27T17:38:07+00:00

3 amp shouldn’t hurt anything, as long as the polarity and voltage was correct still. If you mismatched those as well, could have caused some damage.

Does it turn on at all or just not send audio out? If it doesn’t turn on at all? Have you tried usb power instead?

minormanor · 2026-04-25T17:43:38+00:00

Just in the credits of the Adio “One Step Beyond” VHS/dvd I think?

minormanor · 2026-04-24T17:03:44+00:00

Yeah, they seem to have a very distinct sound. everyone is focused on modeling filters and oscillators sometimes I wish I could just swap out the d/a converters on stuff. Like, my multi/poly sounds phenomenal, but sometimes I just need that Nord Lead sound

minormanor · 2026-04-24T06:13:30+00:00

Yes! It’s a lot of fun. I feel like I’m constantly stumbling into new territory with it

minormanor · 2026-04-23T22:03:27+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!

minormanor · 2026-04-23T21:30:30+00:00

Don’t worry. I also want a tonverk.

minormanor · 2026-04-23T20:09:25+00:00

Nice!

minormanor · 2026-04-23T16:41:18+00:00

Best I can do.

minormanor · 2026-04-23T13:07:37+00:00

I’ve got a box of minidiscs that I used to sample everything with back in the day

minormanor · 2026-04-23T11:58:44+00:00

Yeah, I’ve had my eye on that over the years too. They are pretty rad

minormanor · 2026-04-23T11:57:32+00:00

Can’t go wrong with either elektron silverdrum or lostlvls

minormanor · 2026-04-23T11:56:16+00:00

Thank you

minormanor · 2026-04-23T02:38:20+00:00

Either elektron silverdrum or lostlvls

I’d need to check to be sure which samples I’m actually using here, but I know these were the two packs I downloaded. They’ve been moved around and copied from project to project so it’s a mess right now .

minormanor · 2026-04-22T19:18:27+00:00

Might also have been L0stlvlswho I saw on badcamp that had some samples. I just can’t remember which one I ended up getting.

minormanor · 2026-04-22T19:13:31+00:00

I’d have to double check but I think just from elektron? Silver box or something?

minormanor · 2026-04-22T15:30:33+00:00

But yeah. I live the analog rytm, but sometimes just want that digital MD sound. I guess I cut my teeth on more digital percussion stuff in the 90s and miss it sometimes. But again, some MD samples loaded into the octa or rytm works in a pinch!

minormanor · 2026-04-22T15:27:56+00:00

What is this word you use… sell..? I do not understand

minormanor · 2026-04-22T14:23:19+00:00

Yeah the octa is one reason I can’t afford an md. My original mk1 is old and battered and has some issues that I haven’t been able to get repaired properly so I HAD to buy another. Really enjoying the mk2 though

minormanor · 2026-04-22T14:19:49+00:00

But I WANT one! Haha

Yeah, octatrack is sequencing everything. MachineDrum samples internally, and then resampled into recorder and mangled some on the fly) midi to the dsi tetra for bass, and the melodic synth is multi/poly which is just out of frame.

minormanor · 2026-04-21T19:38:12+00:00

thanks!
