​@* AnimalHeadSpirit * Oh man, over a year and your number isn't up? I assumed all those early birds went out already. I only got on the list about 4 months ago and just hope I live long enough to receive and enjoy the thing (and I'm not about to die or anything lol).
@citizenkoen1
@citizenkoen1 4 года назад
I got on the list May 15, 2019 and recently inquired about the wait and learned that there’s still 1121 people ahead of me. Another 3-6 months wait by their estimate.
@cl1xor

Chris Koenig so they are producing like 200 - 400 units a month, that’s actually quite impressive if it’s all handmade.
@djbigben54
@djbigben54 4 года назад
Chris Koenig Thanks for the info! Not exactly what I wanted to hear but good to know at least. Assuming final assembly is done by hand, a few hundred units a month would be impressive by a small team.

Eh....I think that's overstating it a bit. We'll see. For something to be a future classic, it needs to hit a critical mass, and be featured in many well-known tunes. Time will tell.

Hi Nick. The component symbols up at the top left are: - triangle with line: diode. This is directional. You can probably use it to turn an AC signal into a straight pulse, but no idea what's implemented in there. - two plates: capacitors. These are not directional (based on the symbol used). Again, not sure how it's implemented, but it will likely add a slew or maybe decay. The amount/rate would depend upon the value of the cap used. This sounds a whole lot better than I had thought it would.

Great review, thanks. It's such an inspirational and fun box of tricks. For reference, you can quantise the CV loops to 16ths, but it's a separate mode of operation for the looper operation that stops all of the loops playing while it's doing its business. "If press-holding BANK+L+M and pressing ADD or DEL on one of the channels will perform quantisation of this channels by 16”."

@northerntao
@northerntao 4 года назад
There is a quantization function - a bit esoteric but it’s in the manual. I’ve mostly sequenced mine from MIDI and used the pins for modulation, but I need to give the CV looper another crack. “BANK + L + M + one of the sensors (ADD or DEL) of the desired LR channel - will quantize the content of the channel to 16 notes. The LR will stop when this operation is performed. To start it again, use the start function. For the quantize function to work cor-rectly, please make sure that the LR is aligned with the clock dividers!! To do this, press the RST button on the CLOCK module before recording, and\or connect the LRST pin to the 0.25 output of the clock divider, and use a metronome during the recording! “
@Barefoot_Joe

This is going to fit amazingly with my latest side project under the moniker Kent Reznor, in which I assume the persona of the untalented older brother of Trent Reznor. Kent is a failed industrial rocker turned insurance salesman in a nearby suburb of Cleveland. Keep an eye out for upcoming online performances that will amass dozens, if not several dozens, of views on RU-vid and related platforms.
