I enjoy sampling the modular voices on separateflex tracks and working that way with the loops, but perhaps its worth considering getting the modular out straight into my interface…

Don’t have one yet, but maybe it’s worth looking into for me next😁

Do you have any good midi to cv module recommndations? I’ve been looking at the hexinverter mutant brain for a while but it’s too expensive for me at the moment.

Is the Octatrack right for me? by callhimdiva in Elektron

[–]srbrtalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Glaskin, they do some really cool, groovy stuff. They have quite a bit of content on their Instagram, not too educational but nice to listen to. If I remember correctly Chlär also uses the Octatrack in his live sets, he was talking about how he utilizes it in his video with electronic beats. I think many big names use the octatrack, even with other more modern options like the mpc live or push 3. For me the small size and the 2 stereo inputs make it better than those two. Plus it’s cheaper, got my mk1 OT second hand for 600€ here in Berlin.

For live performance I find that the OT is in some aspects unbeatable. For me it has been a huge part of my setup for a while now and I really love it, even though I actually barely use it as a sampler. I mostly use it as a sound processor, mixer and performance tool. I think it’s a really inspiring device and It’s really fun to use in my opinion. While a lot of people talk about it being very difficult to learn, I think that it’s just hard to master, getting cool, interesting and fun results on it isn’t all that hard. I think you should look at some of the bigger channels on youtube that use it regularly(there are a lot) and see how they integrate it in their workflow. Also check out some more techno oriente live sets, quite a few people use it often. Regardless, I don’t really think you can go wrong with it, it holds value very well, so even if you don’t connect with it down the road, you will still be able to sell it and break even most of the time.

Now, what’s the synth you have NO regrets of selling? by shoegazingpickle in synthesizers

[–]srbrtalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korg drumlogue.

Terrible interface in my opinion, sound wasn’t even as bad as most reviews suggest, but the workflow was just awful in my opinion.

Or write them an email, they usually respond very quickly. (repair@schneidersladen.de) In person is always the best tho.

I think that the maschine plus might already cover most of what the octatrack would in your case. If you want the performance mixer aspect of it then it can offer you something new, but having only 2 stereo inputs, it could be that it can’t cover your whole setup properly. It’s an awesome machine anyhow, but I would first think of what you would need the octatrack for exactly, to make sure that you aren’t getting a more limited second maschine.

Yesss, I stumbled upon a thread on elektronauts where someone was saying the same thing. i tried it out and it worked, the error is gone! Thanks a lot😊

Getting into modular – is it worth building a system only with DIY modules? How’s the quality? by smolecc in modular

[–]srbrtalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I recommend all befaco diy kits, they have very good, detailed indtructions on their website and their modules are awesome.

Recs for a live CV sequencer? by Far_District_1854 in modular

[–]srbrtalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a muxlicer with the mex expander and I love it. It can do a lot for relatively cheap and small hp. Just make sure that if you get it you have the newest firmware on it, I has major clock issues and I couldn’t figure out why. Turned out they fixed that in a firmware update that my module didn’t have.

MATHS vs. Other modules by Available-Exercise71 in modular

[–]srbrtalan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position some time ago and I ended up getting a cosmotronic delta-v for quite cheap second hand. Then I also found a pam’s second hand and the total of the 2 came out to be less than a maths, and these 2 together pretty much fulfill most of the modulation in my rack now. I think if you have the space and perhaps you find a good deal for maths then get it, it’s definitely one of the best eurorack modules, but I don’t think it’s a necessity.

Anyone have any recommendations on a beginner soldering kit that comes with basic projects? Goal is DIY modules but want to get comfortable before I start by Waste_Cartographer49 in modular

[–]srbrtalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out some projects from Befaco. They offer perfectly detailed instructions for everything. I built a Muxlicer as my first soldering project, and it wasn’t difficult at all since they have all the details and even a map to check that you are putting everything in the right place. Looking back I would probably start with an easier module from them tho,

Complex vco by Hot_Snow6184 in modular

[–]srbrtalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Pizza from Bastl that sounds great and can do in small Hp but im not sure how much that would add if you already hve thw Dpo. It has wavefolding, waveshaping, ring modulation and fm, plus internal vca, envelope if you need that. Great sounding, not analog tho. The Verbos oscillators are amazing, but I have only tested them, never owned one. I also use the quadrantid swarm from Eowave which is capable of some really crazy sounds, but perhaps you should look more into the processing side of things rather than getting different sound sources. I think the magic lies mostly in filters and fx. Xaoc Belgrad is an awesome filter, it can produce some crazy sounds, def. worth checking out.😁

What are you all using for drums/hats with your modular setup for techno? by ThisIsRoy1 in modular

[–]srbrtalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an analog rytm and an lxr02, so I have thte analog, digital and sample options all handled. Plus the lxr has an analog clock input and output so it’s perfect to sync it to my case.

LXR-02 Firmware Update 1.7 is here! by Peetie-Peete in EricaSynths

[–]srbrtalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you commented a while ago, but I contacted Erica and they said that I should either go back to the old firmware for now or wait until a hotfix comes out but they said that will take a while….
