Can Moog Subsequent37 replace Minitaur?

Has anybody played with both?

Can you do same sounds on Subsequent37 as on Minitaur?
Or are they any specific areas/patches/sounds where Sub37 cannot go?

Tonverk OS1.4.0 released

Overbridge multistreaming
With this initial release of Overbridge for Tonverk, you get access to the Overbridge streaming functionality. This allows you to stream each track separately to your computer and is primarily intended for flexible recording, mixing, and further production, rather than full DAW integration.

This is the first stage of Tonverk’s Overbridge journey - but we wanted to make it available while we continue working on the integration and improving latency.

Velocity & Key Tracking Modulation
Added to Tonverk’s modulation setup options are Velocity and Key Tracking. Both let you assign up to four destinations and use your performance to shape the sound in real time.

Velocity Mod changes parameters based on how hard you play. Use it to make sounds respond more dynamically, adding movement and expression with every note. Key Tracking changes parameters depending on where you play on the keyboard. High and low notes can each influence the sound differently, opening up expressive timbral shifts across the keyboard.

Pattern Transpose in semitones
Transpose every note in your pattern up or down in semitones with a simple shortcut. Quickly try new keys and harmonic ideas, all without altering the original note data.

FX Order Swap
Swap the order of FX1 and FX2 on Audio and Bus tracks with ease. Explore how different effect chains transform your sound without having to rebuild them.

Reload Parameter Page
Reload the current parameter page from its memorized state, giving you another way to explore, experiment, and instantly return at the click of a button. Tweak freely and undo changes on a single parameter page without affecting the rest of your sound.

And many more improvements & fixes
There’s also a range of additional features, improvements, and fixes, including: pattern copy, paste, and clear without leaving the current pattern, Preset menu filtering and search, freely selectable MIDI channels for each track, modulation macro page clearing, and general performance, stability, and UI improvements. See the full release notes for the complete list.

The final boss has arrived...

This machine, this device... on the one hand, it terrifies me, and on the other, it fascinates me.

Any tips on what I can do to make it like me? :-)

I'm going to use it with my Moog Labyrinth/Spectravox and with Boog Edge/Crave.

TR-8S long press in TR-REC mode without choosing any instrument

When you long press buttons [1]-[16] in TR-REC mode (and you have chosen previously instrument [BD]-[RC]) you have access to motion/velocity input screen. So far so good.

But today I have by mistake unmarked all instruments (pads [1]-[16] are in this red/orange/yellow/white colors) and long pressed [1]-[16] to see something like this:

STEP 8:
REV LEVEL: ---

and also with COPY/UTILITY you can choose "DLY LEVEL", "DLY TIME", "DLY FB", "MFX SW", "MFX CTRL".

What it does?

Cannot find it in reference manual and no matter what I set there I cannot see any difference.

Digitone 2 - trig button #12 works less than 50% of time

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

The button usually only works when I press it hard (and even then, not every time). The other buttons respond halfway down, even when pressed slowly.

Video shows how it behaves in test mode (device turned on while holding Func button).

I bought the DN2 about 10 months ago from Thomann Germany, and I’ll contact them about it. Before I do, though, I’d like to check whether there’s anything obvious I can try myself, such as cleaning it. So far, I’ve only tried blowing some compressed air into it, but that hasn’t helped.

Digitakt2 - sampling external gear (Behringer Edge, Moog Labyrinth etc.)

I don’t have a Elektron Digitakt II (DT2) yet, but I’m trying to understand how it could fit into my setup.

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to automatically sample a full loop from external gear that has its own sequencer (like mentioned Edge, Labyrinth)?

This is what I’d like to achieve:

  1. Connect MIDI OUT from the DT2 to MIDI IN on my external device (e.g. Edge), so my ext gear is also clocked from DT2
  2. Connect the audio output of the external device to the DT2 audio input
  3. Then:
    • a) DT2 sends a MIDI START command
    • b) DT2 records (samples) exactly one bar (or a defined length) from the external input
    • c) DT2 sends a MIDI STOP command to stop the external sequencer

If the full workflow above isn’t possible, are at least steps a) and b) supported?

EDIT: is any other Elektron gear (TV or OT) better suited for that kind of sampling of external gear?

What makes Octatrack so incredible?

Just to explain - I have just read that Octatrack is almost 16 years old (mk1) and that mk2 is technically the same machine - same OS, same electronics with only screen/keys parts changed.

And now -> this 16 years old device has better FX, timestretch etc. than really new hardware like Digitakt2.

Is there something that I'm missing and that is why I do not understand how Elektron could do so many great things with so old HW and still cannot do (or don't want?) with modern CPUs, lots of RAM etc. on latest hardware?

Any way to send start/stop command via MIDI when sampling is started?

I want to sample my Behringer Edge on SP-404mk2.

Setup:
- audio from Edge goes into 404
- midi from 404 goes into midi in on Edge (Edge is set to take clock from 404)

So far so good. Everything works in scenario when I play pattern on 404 - when I start pattern also Edge is starting to play.

Now, I would like to record on 404 some loops from Edge (1-2 bar long). Somehow I believed that when I press 'REC' on 404 it will also send start/stop commands (stop at the end of sampling) but it does not.

Is there any way of doing that?

In a manual there is only info "You can control the start/stop of recording from an external MIDI device using the start command (FA)/stop command (FC)." but it means that it can be started from external gear rather.

For now my workaround is that I used my Elektron Digitone midi out, connected via splitter and sending start/stop commands to both - 404 and Edge - and it works but... Is there really no way of doing that directly from 404?

EDIT:
I don't want to connect the other way around so Edge MIDI out to 404 MIDI in, since I do not like stability of clock on Edge (but checked briefly and it works - when I start playing pattern on Edge then 404 starts recording).

Also things starting to be complex when I want to record Edge in Live Looper mode. If I record something and then stop playing. I have found no way to send start command (even from Digitone) to start both machines - Edge and 404 - at same time. Somehow 404 is not responding to start command in Looper mode...
