Do you use Overbridge?

@daftdj123 6 месяцев назад

I use it on my AH MK2 but the only thing that really bother me is the phasing issue when you blend ths signals with the DRY/WET pot. I wonder if this has been fixed on the FX+ 🤨

Hi , great work. Would absolutely love to see it ,if you made a video about Overbridge and the AH + FX. You quite clearly know this machine very well indeed and it would be such a great education to us all to see you working this way and hopefully advising on the gain staging issues that arise

@maikvanrossum 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the overview 🙏🏻 I completely agree on Elektron’s marketing is missing the mark when it comes to the USPs of the AH +FX, and probably some other devices, too. Muscle-memory-powered demos or simply providing some end results doesn’t seem to work for a lot of people. For instance, I THINK I’m missing the Elektron style sequencer and yes, I know it has MIDI implementation, which is barely mentioned on the product page of their website… but I also have to see and hear what it’s capable of when connecting for instance a Digitakt or other Elektron device for sequencing the effects. Just like on the Syntakt. Had to find out through a video of Group Technologies Australiasia, that I’ve watched just before yours. Still figuring out if I should buy the combination of Microcosm + Chroma Console or go with Elektron’s single unit, but because of these two videos at least I’m considering the Analog Heat +FX. And, that should be the one goal for marketing.

A lot of people think it's too expensive for what it is and actually does. Not bad, but expensive.

@phable 6 месяцев назад

With the expanded modulation and digital effects, the Analog Heat has become for me a very sophisticated multi effect.

@atetraxx 6 месяцев назад

@milk_bath 5 месяцев назад

@@atetraxxHow much do all the analog and digital effects as individual pedals cost? How many overdrive/distortion/fuzz pedals would you need to buy to cover the range this has? Do the math, babe. I’ll wait.

@ikarian3612 6 месяцев назад

First time here. Elektron and 500 series? Thanks algorithm :) Honestly, as I remember it, the initial reviews of the +FX were so focused on it's shortcoming that I kinda wrote it off. Good to be reminded that it still a solid option for some setups.

@phable 6 месяцев назад

Glad I could help! There will be a lot more stuff about the 500 series as well :)

@uirareis4111 2 месяца назад

The best video about the +FX, but there is a thing that I can´t understand yet. Is it possible to use the effects in just one voice or it will be always used for the master? Thank You for the video!

@Tapepusher 6 месяцев назад

I notice at 5:01 it skipped a step from Saturation to Mid Drive, I've read that people experience this bug, wondering if that's expected and/or fixable by elektron!

@phable 6 месяцев назад

I haven't recognized this bug yet. But I'll investigate this!

@daftdj123 6 месяцев назад

I already own a AH MK2 but this makes me want to upgrade 🤩

@leNotstrom 6 месяцев назад

Very nice! I did indeed missed a lot about the 3rd iteration of this Multi FX unit. What do you think about the Reverb algos? Comparable to UA Golden Reverb pedal?

@phable 6 месяцев назад

Glad I could shine some light on the feature set. Haven’t had a chance to play with the UA pedals. I think the strong point of the AH is the modulation matrix. You can create some extraordinary organic textures and effects.

@theoneselve 5 месяцев назад

I sold my mk2 then bought fx. But I miss mk2... fx has menu diving of heat section and -20db gain staging is very annoying

@Farold_Haltermeyer 6 месяцев назад

I recently picked one up after trying it...I own close to 100 fx pedals but was hunting something more performance-y. Pretty blown away by it. Massively misunderstood and under-rated. Tempted to add a 2nd tbh

@phable 6 месяцев назад

After getting the AH, FX Pedals seem to be next logical step for me.

@user-oy6yb2yh7z 6 месяцев назад

If you post a video showing what you mean (just what you do using it for a session that shows it's more performancey) please send me a link

@Farold_Haltermeyer 6 месяцев назад

@@user-oy6yb2yh7z was thinking of doing some vids once we're into our new set-up, and you're right, this thing does not have a lot of good coverage of usage types. In the interim, to clarify, I mean as opposed to my standard chain of drives, modulators and spacial effects (most of which are mono) which I will set and forget or just switch between presets...the Heat+ is defo designed for tactility. Everything is quickly and really sweepable, switchable of tweekable...and unlike the bar majority of pedals it doesn't have limited sweetspots...you can travel far between peaks without losing any musicality, and the interaction between space, eq, filtration and drive is constant and due to reorderability almost limitless. In context...i record to picture as I do sound design, and I work to super tight deadlines so line preformance works better for me than in-the-box asset stacking, and the Heat+ seems to have been created for this as its a instant but deep and intuitive tool set off textures and flavours far more applicable and controllable than any of the similar units I've tried. It's undersold by keeping the Heat moniker...that's only the smallest part of this package

@Farold_Haltermeyer 6 месяцев назад

I should mention that it REALLY comes alive with an added Midi controller like a Faderfox, then you're removing any page loading and just messing with everything in realtime

@franklinavalos1199 4 месяца назад

@TimesOfTheSines.official 6 месяцев назад

if u own a OG Heat or mk2, i highly recommended purchasing the Korg Kaoss Pad FX native software. the UI is very familiar to the Heats & also the other Electron UI too. But it's very similar otherwise to the digital fx in this Heat+FX.

@phable 6 месяцев назад

interesting!

@jakewithspaces Месяц назад

do you think an analog rytm mk3 will drop soon? Idk what to buy

@emnigmamachine 5 месяцев назад

I imagine this thing as a hardware unit version of decapitator by soundtoys, a plug-in I am hopelessly addicted too. To me that alone could almost justify the cost but the filters and FX actually make this quite the tempting purchase. As someone who is also a live sound engineer I’m curious how this would work out in a professional live sound environment. Cheaper than stereo distressors

@phable 5 месяцев назад

Really cool approach!

@kisho2679 6 месяцев назад

does it have side-chain to follow external input?

@phable 6 месяцев назад

Yes, you can mimic that with the envelope follower and the external CV input.

you can achieve heating digital effects with MK1 and MK2 using overbirdge plugin in Ableton also with changing an order :) correct me if Im wrong

@istvantoth7431 5 месяцев назад

Came across a vid here the other day, from another reviewer, he did notice a slight latency when he tested the digital FX on this. So it's not 100%. You see... this has always been my main issue with these magical, obscurous 'all in one case', 'does it all' kinda gear, or boxes. One of the basic lessons guys: if something says that it can do multiple things, at a suppressed price point, probably it can't do neither of those properly... just more or less. Or on a "somewhat ok" level. I rather buy a proper delay, reverb or a distortion effect separately. One dedicated unit for doing one simple task. End of story.
