Roland MSQ-700 Quantisation | Highly unpredictable and fun - borderline bizarre 

I have the switch and I will glue it on eventually. You can use a screwdriver, but it works more as a lever so you have to jiggle it just right.

@@EspenKraft helpful, thank you!

I think the guys at Retrokits tried that with their RK-008 sequencer, at least the quirkiness of the quantize algo. Don't know if they succeeded though.

@@EspenKraft I thought the RK-008 was aiming for the alesis MMT-8, not the the MSQ-700?

It is, but they wanted to implement the quirky quantize on it too. After I made the comparisons video.

Cheers!

No.

I didn't.

No it doesn't 🤦‍♂️. Don't try to compare autotune with this. They are completely different things. Electronic music should more often than most be very quantized and exact, like in side-scroll video games or sheet music, mainly when the tracks have a fast tempo. The perfection is what gives it a polished finish. Yes, there are times when more natural, slightly off timing imperfections are charming or even elegant in music, but for electronic music (mainly during tracks with higher tempos), exact timing is more often better, because all the sounds are more evenly spaced, sound more clear and organized - everything is more pleasant to the ear. It's like the way a good metal guitarist is liked for playing very "clean" notes and precise timing.

@@HowlingMoonCinemas Don't get me wrong, I do have synths and samplers with sequencers and have played tight tech death on guitar. Just too much "perfection" in todays music.

@@HenritheHorse One way I like slightly off timed notes is usually for really good lead solos while the background music is kept quantized.
