Every once in a while I wonder if I’d be better off with a racked 0-coast, but I like the dual pressure points + brains setup a lot. I originally set it up like this with the vague goal of “what if Lyra8 was sample based and stereo” and I’ve been super pleased with it (having never played a lyra8 still though lol)
Intellijel's Tetrapad + Tete combo is another option. The Tetrapad's 4 touchplates have X, Y, and pressure response, and with Tete you then get CV inputs, clock, looping/recorded movement. Super handy with all manner of utility packed in.
@@grieben oooh yea great callout. those would be fun to explore as alternatives. I've been eyeing Gliss for that recorded movement and trying to think about the right way to manage multiple of those...
@@thismeanswarbasse Gliss looks rad, thanks for sharing. The touchplates on those are full length vs the Tetrapad's ~2/3rd length. An excellent option for immediacy!
Hey, awesome as always ! Nice to see you working with sampling inside the case and layering with Lubadh. Are you used to work with resampling inside the A case ? Also, are you bothered with the fact that channel 2 of DxG is not removed from the mix when individual channel 2 out is connected ?
thanks! I'm more often resampling my B case into my A case than I am resampling the A case, but its still a pretty easy workflow for doing some easy layering on Lubadh. I have not read the manual for DxG and since I was just putting noise into it along side the panharmonium signal, triggering both together, then mixing the signals back with Jumble Henge - I didn't even realize that channel 2 mix issue. Seems like it could get annoying, but even if I just end up with a single stereo LPG its still doing what I used Optomix for and channel 2 becomes a bonus
One of the big knocks on it, and I’m definitely in the chorus on this one, is that the LPG functionality is tied to a mixer. It has 2 stereo LPG inputs, but Ch1 cannot be sent out separately (no individual output), and Ch2 cannot be removed from the mix. There is no way to process those signals individually. As soon as they’re born as notes they’re married to something else, never to be separated again, which greatly limits the potential of the world’s first Stereo LPG. It’s marketed as a Dual Stereo LPG, but in my view it’s primarily a mixer with LPG capabilities. It seems a quite shortsighted design to immediately fuse notes the moment they’re created.
I think proper stereo support just puts it in a different category for how I consider what a module does for me. I still have optomix in my overflow, but DXG has definitely replaced it in this case.
great little snappy, stereo, what-you-see-is-what-you-get style LPG. I'd categorize it as "perfectly fine", not anything anyone needs to go chase or constantly refresh reverb for - but it certainly does what it says it'll do
