When you see me using a piece of gear, it's because I was excited about it :-)
Is there any way to use the amp envelope from your playing on the MIDI keyboard rather than a static ADSR envelope generator so you can be more expressive?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The MIDI keyboard only sends on/off gate signals, so there are no envelopes coming from the keyboard. Or do you mean velocity? You could use velocity to modulate the ADSR. For example you could patch it to the Sustain portion to be able to play louder or quieter.
@tuesdaynightmachines Ah yes I mean velocity. What kind of output would you need on a MIDI keyboard to get access to this? And what do you mean by sustain input?
The MIDI keyboard doesn't need anything special (MIDI always includes all data, incl. velocity). You just need a MIDI-CV converter with a velocity CV output. Regarding sustain, that's not an "input", but a stage in the ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release). The sustain portion of the envelope usually specifies the amplitude (or "volume") of the sound. So when you patch the velocity to modulate the sustain, thesound become louder or quieter depending on how hard you press the MIDI keyboard keys.
Thankyou for this explanation, I played with the example at "this museum is (not) obsolete, yesterday, but (of course) it didn't make much sense. Now I have more of an Idea about what was happening as I adjusted the control.
I can't see how this can be used for live jams which is a pity as I like the look of it, it is sturdy, easy to use and makes a great sound. You cannot play a kick followed by a snare or tom tom or anything else so how can it be useful?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. This is a kick drum synth that you trigger with MIDI or CV. In a live setup you will have some kind of sequencer, which you will simply connect to the Kick Lancet and the rest of your synths. Then you play with the sequencer and twist the knobs on the Kick Lancet (or leave it at your favorite settings). You can also connect it to an electric drum set, so a drummer can play it with their kick drum pedal. It works just like any other synth :-)
Sorry...I was getting confused. It us a Kick drum, and thats it. I was thinking about how you switched from snare to clap to tom toms etc but of course those options are not there. It is solidly build, sounds fantastic but too expensive for what it does. If it had a clap and snare then I would have bought it. Just love the looks, build and size of it.
Very helpful video! Thank you! I'm pretty interested in the Pathways, but I keep coming back to the fact that it's about $200 more than I want to pay (and I'm trying to find ways to justify that in my head).
@@tuesdaynightmachinesGreat!, Just bought one a day ago, I was just curious if it was the standard plug that came with it because it has the same plug type as in my country. Now I know!
Hi @tuesdaynightmachines Just wondering how you're enjoying the zaturn after one year? Would be good to hear your thoughts! I still haven't managed to get one, but I keep coming back to the videos :)
Hey 😊 I must admit I'm a bit out of the loop, because I haven't had time for music at all recently. But I love the updates that the Zaturn got, especially with the new UI that displays the parameters vertically, just like the knobs are arranged on the device. I think it's still a great (the best?) modular synth in a box that's also more portable, with its size between the TinyLD and LD3. The big display with multi-touch is also nice to have. I don't know ... I still love Gotharman 🤷♂️
I dunno. I just re-watched this review and then compared it to some others and I think this one here is truly one of the better ones (if not best) for this unique keyboard. I mean there isn't a single other review out there that includes a proper sound demo for example. It's mind boggling! Who's in charge of RU-vid Reviews at Google/Alphabet?! That person needs a talk with their supervisor! Seems like they allow anybody to review stuff nowadays. Pff! Anyway, I really appreciate that you took the time to engage with me and point me to this problem. I'll make sure to keep up this review style, as it seems to be in dire need. I look forward to read from you again in the future :) Have a great day!
Thank you :) I used Step Record mode to enter the notes manually into the sequencer. The song structure here is quite simple so there weren't many song parts. I also used the morph layers to add some variation, so that one part could play twice and sound a little different. To chain all parts together I used the LD3's Song Mode, which is very easy to use :)
Woah, serious contender for the SCM + breakout, plus MORE features actually! These old BASTL modules are all some gems. Liking the Cinnamon a lot (although having some issues keeping its levels tamed with drive), and have been waffling on which BASTL module I'll definitely be adding next.
hello, it's an old vid but i'll try anyway; what block would you get to start? i can put my hands on a "The Human Comparator 73-75 voice and control" that guy is selling on reverb. but if i wanted to get something with the basic to start in one rack box, wich one would you go for? west coast seems exiting, especially for experiments, but i'm not a rabbit hole guy, i'de rather be able to use the colors and textures without dedicating my life to west coast modular... what pittsburg modular has done was in my head a bit before, but then, if i want to add functiopns for music and a little ambiance creation, what serge style block would you add to the taiga for example? oh and if there's things a consum'actor should know about supporting this or that compagnmy (ken stone and elby would be a prefered choicev to me as the geezer shared and shared and shared a along the trip...)
Having to focus on gear is why i love the physical stuff that i have and not use any of the vst instruments. If only the SP404A had a good pitch shifting feature.
What about the analog option board itself? Is it something that Flemming Gotharman has to install himself during building new LD3 or it can be done later by the user?
From my own experiences digging through various Gotharman instruments' insides, it always seemed like the analog board board could be easily installed by the user as well. But better ask Flemming directly, because I don't know if the board itself also requires some additions to the instrument's mainboard.
I have a Gray Aluminum and Plastic Technician's case (Deep Top and Bottom) for sale. I was going to turn it into a synth case for Behringer Semi-Modulars but decided to build a studio desk case. It just needs the rails. Has locking latches and keys.
Maybe you know this : if i play with the sequencer track 1 ( velocity for example ) that seems to effect my other parts as well. So im editing my part 1 osc synth track, and then my part 2 kick ( sample ) is affected. Any thoughts?
Are the sample voices set to poly? They might get cut off from the voice allocation rotation. Try assigning individual voices to them to reserve them for the samples .
