@marcel_holdys yeah it's actually really useful. Very little adjustment obviously because it's just on\off but you can change the amount of compression with the master gain up to ridiculous levels. I might make a 'compressor abuse' jam with that actually
Thank you. I try to avoid videos where I'm just screen capturing as much as possible because it's difficult to make them interesting, but I will certainly be using the L6 more in future videos 👍
Thanks very much. I've listened to a lot of stuff over the years, but particularly just recently while researching some stuff I was asked to write so it's bleeding out of me I think! Plus these little trays of gear are so similar to basic 90s studios they keep steering me in that direction 😄
Hi, I want to buy one. Can you please tell me if you noticed any latency in the output mix, while operating your synths? And the SD card can be inserted in a computer and you find separate wav files for each track? Or do you need to use their editor/exporter? Thanks!!👍
No I've not noticed any latency. Zoom have lots of experience with recording devices so I don't think they'd release it with latency issues tbh. Yes it creates a new folder each time you press record and a wav file per track is created, or if you have 2x mono switched on it will create 2 mono files for those tracks, these tracks are recorded as they appear at the input. It also creates a mixdown wav as heard at the output
I haven't used the 1010 mixer but it does look like it has a couple of advantages like being able to playback previous recordings while recording more, the Zoom can't do that. But the Zoom is far cheaper and will run of AA batteries and has 2 sends to external gear which it doesn't seem the 1010 supports. Looks like they're both good options tbh
Yes if you turn up levels to make you'll be able to hear some background noise. I think it depends on the gear connected, cables etc though and it doesn't seem excessive
Hello Chris, thank you so much for your work. Wonderful deep acid track by the way... I have a question, I have been trying to find some information regarding MIDI sequencing using the Lo Fi 12 XT, and it seems nobody is talking about it in their videos. I know the SmplTrek is supposed to be really good with that, but I have been drawn to the Lo Fi 12 XT but I don't know how does it compare to the SmplTrek in terms of sequencing external synths through the MIDI. I can see you are sequencing the Volcas, but they both have sequencers so I am assuming you are only sending clock. But what about sequencing something that has no sequencer, or even a keyboard for that matter, like the Waldorf blofeld? I know the SmplTrek has dedicated MIDI tracks, you can input note data into the sequencer and it's basically a DAW-like setup. It looks amazing, but how does the Lo Fi 12 XT compare? Does it have the same layout, piano roll, etc? Any plans to make a video about it?
You're right, this video just uses the XT as a clock source. I don't have any plans to make a video specifically about it but yes it can be used as a sequencer and I've been using that feature quite a bit. In this video the XT sequences a Roland S-1: ruclips.net/video/yHiklTBGK8c/видео.html There are some small advantages when using the SmplTrek, it can have up to 10 midi tracks vs 8 on the XT. Plus the dedicated midi tracks on the SmplTrek can have 4 custom midi CC automation lanes to control your external synths. The XT doesn't have this though it will transmit the midi CCs mapped to its controls like cutoff etc, depending on the gear you're using this can still be useful. On the XT all tracks can transmit midi on any custom channel you want, the same is true on the SmplTrek actually, drum and instrument channels transmit as well as playing their internal sounds. On the XT you can do the same or set the sample selection to that track to 'off' which will save polyphony. One thing to be aware of is neither will record or send pitch bend or aftertouch. Of the 2 my preference is for the SmplTrek for sequencing if what I'm working on uses mostly external synths and for the XT when a smaller setup with most of the sound being created within the XT The SmplTrek has a piano roll style editing system where as the XT just uses the step buttons, detail of each step can be edited deeply with Func+step. It'd be worth watching the tutorials for both of you want to really dig into them
@@ChrisLodyMusic Thank you so much for such a detailed answer, Chris. You know I am a hobby musician so it isn't my job and I don't release music professionally. So the limitations of the XT shouldn't really be a problem for me. And I think in the end of the day I would want to process the sounds through the XT's sampling engine just for the consistency of the sound and I think I only want sequencing for flexibility, it would be a road block to sample a sound into the XT then decide I don't like it, tweak it and resample it. So I wanted the XT to sequence my blofeld for example while I work on other elements, then I can tweak the blofeld and sample it into the XT once I am happy.
@MRabbitFrog I think the XT is a solid choice. It's more capable than the SmplTrek in terms being able to put finished tracks together using the XT alone. That's something I really enjoy, making a track on a single bit of gear so I get on well with it

cool! A proper track!
Thank you, glad you like it 😄
Superb mix jam, that mixer looks very cool, I use the L12 which is a fantastic mixer , its huge on my desk top setup.
Thank you. I don't have any other Zoom gear apart from a h1n, but I'm loving this little thing 👌
@@ChrisLodyMusic any words about compressor? great little jam
@marcel_holdys yeah it's actually really useful. Very little adjustment obviously because it's just on\off but you can change the amount of compression with the master gain up to ridiculous levels. I might make a 'compressor abuse' jam with that actually
Would love to see a PT 2 where you take the individual tracks off Zoom and edit. Awesome jam!
Thank you. I try to avoid videos where I'm just screen capturing as much as possible because it's difficult to make them interesting, but I will certainly be using the L6 more in future videos 👍
Love the acid bass
Takin us to the next level, fun psychedelic funkiness, rock on synthbrother!!! 🎹🔊🌍
Ha thank you 😄👌
Very cool Session!
Thank you 😁
Awesome!
Can't wait to grab one asap!
Thanks for sharing love your channel more and more
Thanks very much. Hope you have fun with it if you get one, I've had a blast so far 😁
I'm hearing an 808 State vibe here, which isn't a surprise having watched your S1/"Pacific 707" video.

Have you used the 1010music Bluebox mixer? How does the L-6 compare?

But the Zoom is far cheaper and will run of AA batteries and has 2 sends to external gear which it doesn't seem the 1010 supports. Looks like they're both good options tbh
@@ChrisLodyMusic And the Zoom is an audiointerface.
Hi Chris ‼️ excellent vidéo ‼️ excellent sound ‼️
I sent you a link for a vidéo about Korg ds10 i made..
I wanted to share it to you ‼️
Is there a ground humbor any noise with the mixer?
Yes if you turn up levels to make you'll be able to hear some background noise. I think it depends on the gear connected, cables etc though and it doesn't seem excessive
