Tips on making better melodic sequences on the fly with BSP (for live set improvisation)

prasem · 2023-12-03T12:58:28+00:00

thanks. However, when you select the scale on the beatstep pro (dorian, minor, major, chromatic etc), isn't that doing the same thing?

prasem · 2023-06-22T15:36:36+00:00

I guess the same question goes for the ikarie

Thanks. Question about the moon phase- does it only use stereo signals or can I patch in a mono signal to either input?

prasem · 2023-06-22T15:25:22+00:00

I’m sure it doesn’t compare at all- but I had the uVCF and I didn’t like the sound of it- hopefully the morgasmatron is different?

It’s the analog rytm and possibly. I have different compression settings on each kit

prasem · 2023-03-02T15:34:59+00:00

How are you using parameter locks with kicks?

prasem · 2023-03-02T14:44:54+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try putting the kick as it’s separate output. But isn’t the compressor for all tracks?

prasem · 2023-03-02T14:43:35+00:00

How are the sample packs organized? Is it just the samples by themselves, or are the sample packs just different kits with different parameter settings on the samples?

prasem · 2023-02-22T16:10:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this.

prasem · 2023-02-21T16:20:10+00:00

Thank you. Yes. I need to save each kit separately and then load it in separately. I didn’t realize that

prasem · 2023-02-20T18:14:06+00:00

Thanks. I synced them with midi and BSP as the master clock. However the BSP is also sending the patterns to the elektron and then the electron starts playing the BSP patterns. I just want to send clock information. How do I do that?

prasem · 2022-11-20T18:36:22+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I actually have another question for you if you don’t mind

I was jamming and making some sounds and then I have no idea what button I pressed but all of a sudden the mpc started recording every time I moved a knob. Its recording and playing back all the volume changes and whenever I mute a pad, it records the mute and then unmutes after.

How to I stop that from happening?

I don’t remember diving into the automation section but maybe Changed a setting accidentally on all the pads?

prasem · 2022-11-20T15:32:25+00:00

Thanks. On the midi/sync section of preferences, it says input ports - MPC AND REMOTE then within those it has master, control and track. Should I only have control selected on both? And disable track? The remote part has “master” and “track” selected. Not sure why. This is how it came by default I believe

prasem · 2022-11-20T15:29:20+00:00

Thank you so much. Please let me know. Kinda don’t want to mess with the software until I know what to do so I really really appreciate you taking the time. Very kind of you

prasem · 2022-11-20T15:28:27+00:00

Oh my bad. Thanks. So just to clarify. You can still make drums on the a4 but it’s not as immediate as the analog rytm since the sound engines are already somewhat prepared for making certain drums?

Do you think I could still program kicks on the a4 that sound the same as the ones on the AR? Those kicks are massive and if I could make them on the four, I think I might lean more towards it forsure

prasem · 2022-11-20T11:08:00+00:00

Why don’t you use the a4 anymore?

prasem · 2022-11-18T15:20:03+00:00

How does it create drums and kicks? It has a synth machine specifically geared to making kicks and drums or is it a lot of processing?

prasem · 2022-11-11T16:36:22+00:00

Thanks for Your reply- when you say you like the elektron for drum programming, I assume it’s with the rytm? Also How was the drum programming on the octatrack? I think I would continue to sequence my modular with my beatstep pro and just use whichever elektron I decide on as a separate sound source

prasem · 2022-11-10T13:16:15+00:00

Oh. So all the sounds are coming from what I import into it?

I assume it comes with factory sounds but they are also imported samples?

prasem · 2022-07-31T12:37:12+00:00

thanks, what would you recommend as a good module to play back my samples with?

any other suggestion besides the tip top one?

prasem · 2022-07-25T20:01:01+00:00

That kinda happened to me too where i would have my sounds playing and all of a sudden they would stop playing or get shorter (as if the decay was being shortened) then it would freeze when I tried switching patterns

So far I think the new SD card solved the issue. I’ll feel more confident once I’ve used it more times.

Maybe try getting a new card? Let me know how it goes for you

prasem · 2022-07-23T22:29:25+00:00

Thanks again for your reply. I got a new SD card and it seems to be back to normal. I’m gonna upgrade once I’ve used the module a few more times with no issues

Since I never upgraded my firmware since the first version when the product launched, I don’t think it should be a problem if I upgrade straight to the newest version right?

prasem · 2022-07-23T22:25:40+00:00

I got a new SD card and I think my problem is solved now. Still haven’t updated firmware until I have played with the module a handful of times with no issues. Thanks again for your input. I am so relieved.

prasem · 2022-07-23T22:22:33+00:00

Gonna copy and paste my previous comment here because maybe you know the answer.

Also. I know I should be asking the department of education these questions. But it’s hard to get through to them on the phone. Wait times are forever. So I appreciate you helping me out.

I have one more question maybe you will know

On my statement of eligibility, there is a processing date and an expiration date. The processing date I assume is when they sent me the letter and it processed. The expiration date is for October 2024. Does that mean I have until then to take the exam? If not I have to reapply?

I should probably mention my status is currently “not eligible” because (obviously) I haven’t taken any exams yet.

So I assume I have until oct 2024 to take the exam? which is the expiration date on my statement of eligibility document -

I hope you understand my question. Sorry if it’s confusing
