You’re seriously the best for posting these. This is the first piece of hardware I’ve owned that I feel I’m 100% bonded with within days of owning it. I’m pairing it with an in-the-box compressor and running it through an Elektron Analog Heat with overbridge and I am IN LOVE. Its my baby and I’m never selling it. Your videos have helped me almost master it in three weeks time!
The quick and easy automation is great. I also noticed when not in record mode if you hold a button and change a parameter it also saves the setting, is there a way to see the individual step automation for this method?. On the elektron gear you just hold the step button and displays the parameter lock. Something like ths would be great.
If you hit the 'Voice' button twice, then hit the step you want to inspect you should see the relevant automation info - name and value. The shortened parameter name is sometimes a bit obscure but if you click on the main data knob it'll show the full parameter name.
What's the easiest way to toggle FX on a per-step basis? I have a snare (routed to FX, set to delay) on steps 5 and 13. However, I only want the delay to sound on step5.
You could choose a step, hit the Voice button twice and then manually adjust the FX automation of parameters 1, 2, 3 or 4. Or, maybe more interesting, you could use a synced LFO to target one of the same four parameters. At least that way it would apply to all patterns. Might take a bit of fiddling with rate and phase to get the timing perfect. Odd though that there doesn't seem to be a way to directly target the wet-dry mix.
Great videos! Can you record all tracks to in to individual midi tracks in a daw via the usb cable? - I'd love to see a video on that and other ways of how to connect it to external gear.
Hey Richard, do you know if its possible to save the waveform in the LFO between two different patterns ?? i've been trying to save the pattern and saving the project but every time that i change to a different pattern it affect to all patterns. For example i'm trying to have a LFO waveform XDN in pattern 1, and have a LFO waveform SIN in pattern 2, but everytime i change pattern it affect all patterns. Any idea how to do that?? Thanks in advance
If I understand correctly then aren't you really talking about the waveform in the kit associated with that pattern? In which case you'd copy the kit and use a different waveform.
But I have a question, say I wanted to use an external midi controller to record the automation (think melodies) would that be possible? Your demonstration of automating the tuning gave the the idea. I assume it would because the machine is simply remembering the values fed to it during “record mode”
You don't have to use the automation to do that seen as though note value is one of the step parameters. You can input the note values in the step edit screen, play the notes into the sequencer using a midi keyboard or use each LXR track on a different midi channel and sequence them externally. Use that and save your automation channels for other stuff, unless your wanting to go for the gaps between the notes that is. Alternatively the tuning(as are most parameters) can be controlled by midi cc so I guess you could control it by cc and record it using 'record mode'.
Great tutorials - so is it true that you can only change one parameter per lane of automation? So you would NOT be able to change cutoff AND resonance in automation track 1, for example?
If you record in realtime then you're going to just manually twiddle one parameter per track. But if you go into step editing then you can automate a different parameter on every step. I look into this briefly in the video starting at about 9:40. The basics of it are: - Select the voice to automate - Make sure you're still in Voice mode! - Turn the Data knob until you see the "dst val dst val" page - Select the step you want to automate - Now use the data knob to choose the parameter to automate and the amount - Choose another step, and select a different destination and value
I appreciate the video but it sounds like you need to run your voice through a high pass filter or something its a little hard to understand. maybe its me.
Thanks for the feedback. I think this was done with my old head-worn mic which I was forever processing like crazy. I'm now using a Rode on a boom which seems to work much better. On even earlier videos I was using the built-in mic on an action-cam which in hindsight was better than the head-worn!
"Darreichungsform" ist mein neues "Wort des Tages". Ursprünglich wollte ich ein langes Kunstwerk machen, das alle möglichen Aufnahmeoptionen abdeckt, aber die Automatisierung war so interessant, dass ich dachte, sie hätte ein eigenes Video verdient.

I get real satisfaction from reading this, thanks! To be really confident with a machine makes everything flow.
I LOVE your teaching style ❤️
A high compliment indeed! Thanks very much Quincas :)
Wow this is really useful... I'm very impressed with this little box so far! Thank you so much for these videos btw
This series is very much appreciated. Helped immensely in understanding the instrument!
Thanks D-Sines :)

Good question and a good idea. I'll have a poke around.
….and again another perfect tutorial :))
Thanks MD

@@adamoliver82 I guess I used the wrong term, I meant the individual note values so you answered my question! Thanks.

Die professionelle "Darreichungsform" von Part 5 lässt wieder keine Wünsche offen !
