Re: New Roland Groove Box MC707
I don't plan on getting one, but the more I learn about the 707/101, the more I understand the appeal. Mostly positives I'm seeing. However, for long-form performance on a single box, 16 clips per track per project seems a little cramped for my personal taste, especially on the 101 with only 4 trac...

Re: Announcing Reason 11
I love the sequencer / DAW aspect of Reason. I think they nailed that shit, at least for my workflow. I'm always one to try out other DAWs, spend the time with the manuals and dig in deep. In the end, I always feel uninspired and either underwhelmed or overwhelmed. I'm happy the rack can now be a V...

"Some of the REs I'm using include 'Lectric Panda players including, of course, the PSQ-1684. I have it set up where I can simply press the record button on the DIgitone with the right track active, then hit play in Reason to generate properly synced generative parts right into the Digitone sequenc...

Re: Sold my MPC Live and picked up an Elektron Digitakt
This is getting crazy in a good way. To accelerate my music making process, I've managed to connect Reason's players to both the Digitakt and Digitone in one project. This setup allows me to record basic grooves and generative patterns into both devices, giving me some fantastic starting points for ...

Re: Sold my MPC Live and picked up an Elektron Digitakt
Can't wait to finally hear some of this altogether. In our ongoing symmetry, I actually sold my Akai Force and recently picked up the Analog Four MkII. If you like the Digitone and you like subtractive synths, you really, really ought to give it a spin, because man alive the thing sounds huge. I li...

Re: Well, I went and did it. Just pulled the trigger on an Elektron Digitone
I already have an MPC Live, a Circuit and a Circuit Mono Station (plus an Arturia Keystep and a Novation Launchkey 49 as controllers). I thought I was done for a while and hadn't even considered the Digitone at all. When I got the MPC, I had originally been looking at a Digitakt. But recently, I ha...

I'm curious to hear the stuff you make!
However, I'm doing a live show tonight (a mood landing party) so I'll see if I can get a video or something.
Hopefully I'm done with electronic noisemaker purchases for a while.

Sold my MPC Live and picked up an Elektron Digitakt
I spent the time over the past few months and learned the ins-and-outs of using the MPC Live, but ironically given the name of the product, it just wasn't doing it for me as a live performance unit. I used it successfully as a hub for live performances, but most of the "magic" was coming from other ...

Re: Well, I went and did it. Just pulled the trigger on an Elektron Digitone
Did a live show last week as the "house DJ" (not a DJ, but there you go) for a regular event. I managed get enough material together to do the entire night (or at least my 2+ hours of it) with just the Digitone and my Circuit Mono Station. It turned out better than I could have hoped, and I ended up...

Re: Well, I went and did it. Just pulled the trigger on an Elektron Digitone
Oh crap, this thing is brilliant. Just took delivery earlier today and ... wow. I haven't started designing my own sounds yet, but just going through the presets and making some tracks and patterns ... again, wow. The overall sound is so rich. Setting aside the amazing melodic sounds, there's someth...

Re: Unpopular opinion: "Players" are the worst feature of Reason
I like the players, although I do understand the issue with the player category arms race. "Darn it, I just paid $69 for this *insert player category here* and another one with more/better features just popped up in the shop." So far, I've dodged that bullet and am happy with my player purchases. I ...

Re: Novation CIrcuit Mono Station just arrived
Here is my current HW setup with the Circuit Mono in the mix. I just received the EXH stereo compressor pedal on the left, and am using it to tighten up the sound coming out of the "classic" Circuit. With a little compression, I find it sounds a little more competitive with the MPC Live on the right...

Where did you find that deal! Yeah! I haven't dug into mine yet. Made a big hardware investment (Moog) and have been spending my free time with the Mother 32 these days. Novation sent out a 50% off code for registered owners of the Circuit. I don't blame you, spending time with the Mother 32. Nice ...

Re: Novation CIrcuit Mono Station just arrived
Amazing to hear! I love this thing, and think it does both subtle and bonkers really, really well. I find it really shines with some dark reverb or stereo delay. And it plays with the regular Circuit so seamlessly that it just feels like you’re playing an expanded Circuit! Enjoy. Yep, I'm running i...

Glad to hear you're enjoying your new toy.. With a price like that, you can't really beat it, can you? Sounds like it was well worth the money!

Novation CIrcuit Mono Station just arrived
At the $249 special, I couldn't resist. Well, guess what? Instant analog mojo!!! Oh, I played with the presets and sessions, and even loaded the patch-flip pack to hear what THAT crazyness could do. But pretty quickly, I hooked it up to my MPC Live and start jamming to some material I had already pu...
