I have a pique and consider it indispensable -- it fits everywhere and it's intuitive to use, but also has a crazy deep function/hp ratio to fill holes in patches. Always recommend it to people starting out. And these videos taught me a lot I had been missing too, thanks!
recently I added Baker to my synth, because I wanted a "no fuss" Bass Drum... Am now considering buy one for each row...!! (I actually find it more useful than Maths..)
"Cortic" is generally a biological term, referring to the outer layer of the subject, so a shell or a husk, with something inside. Since in synthesis, the envelope is a wrapper for the basic waveform, it makes sense. However, in terms of envelopes, a google search shows it spelled "Cordic" and refers to logarithmic. So, Cordic/Linear/Exponential. Calling it a "Logarithmic Logarithm" would be somewhat redundant, so "Cordic Logarithm" it is. Just another name for the same thing, but without repeating itself. I'm an English teacher with a degree in English Lit/European languages. This is just the sort of geeky grammar stuff I am into.
i got a pique too and i am never using it. so i am looking for the functions that makes me use it again. i dont want to remember what all these modes are so set and forget would be the best for me.
In the alternate lfo modes the mode "Folded Sine FM" (not demonstrated on this video) and i think there's an issue in activation this mode "Env (flashing) + LFO (solid)" Could anybody clarify does everyone have this or my module is faulty? 😢
One thing you don't seem to mention is the advantages of the extra attenuverters on Rainier (or the pros/cons of each unit). I imagine that the two extra attunuverters on Rainier also become really useful for attenuating the LFOs or the Envelopes, which saves you having your stuff running through another module?
The Rainier seems fantastic! Question: do the Peaks clones have LEDs in the jacks? There was a small maker that had green LEDs for inputs and red LEDs for outputs and I loved that. Novel? Sure but kinda awesome.
I really want to install this on my Pique (specially because of the Turing mode) but I'm a bit worried with the installation/calibration process. Is it a considerable risk to try without experience? And is the calibration part of it really necessary? Thanks!
It's pretty easy to program if you have a programmer and converter to mini JTAG. The calibration is only needed if you plan on using it as an Envelope Generator. Without calibration the envelopes might not close all the way. If it's one of ours we are happy to swap it over to DMC. Just reach out via email and we'll work out the details.
@@afterlateraudio9976 Thanks for the reply! I plan to use envelopes as well, yes. It'e not from ALA, though. I will try to find out how calibration works more clearly and hope for the best. Thanks again!
pretty fuckin dumb that there is no tap lfo mode on peaks in any firmware where you can control the RATE of the TEMPO SYNCED LFO. It's actually crazy. Perhaps consider adding this to the DMC firmware. Way more intuitive to have a steady clock and the ability to change the rate of the TEMPO LFO with the first knob instead of attenuating the signal as the first knob currently does. Peaks instead expects us to change the rate of the tap lfo with a different gate signal, but this is super inconsistent and relies on the detection of the module rather than on demand by the user. Both should be available in a tempo based lfo.
