Video Game Jam on CyDrums

You can make a wide variety of musical genres on this machine, but I always end up leaning towards hardcore fast paced stuff. This kind of reminds me of those final boss songs from the 90's.

CyDrums, Zoom R16. Please enjoy!!

Minimal roadmap

Does anyone have a sense of what other devices are planned for the minimal line? I have a Deconstruct on the way and I’m intrigued by the Liven Ambient, but the lack of USB gives me pause. For those who have both, how do you find that pairing?

Can’t figure out how to record a drone on the LIVEN Ambient Ø

Hi!
I’ve read the manual and even asked AI, but I still can’t figure this out.

When I’m not recording, I can hold a key and it sustains like a drone.But as soon as I start recording, the sound gradually fades out and eventually stops, even if I keep holding the key.

Is this normal behavior, or am I missing a setting?
How are you all recording long drones?

By the way, I came up with a chord progression that I really like, so I wanted to share it with you.
It’s F–C–D–A :)

deconstruct MINIMAL bass question

Hi!
I’m running into something strange with the bass.

Even with the cutoff and resonance set fairly low, the bass sometimes starts making a squeaky, chirpy sound and even cuts out.

Is this expected behavior, or am I missing a setting?

I tried doing a factory reset, and the factory presets work and sound fine. The problem only seems to happen when I create a new pattern from scratch and program my own bassline.

Has anyone else run into this?
I need help:(

Need help 😢

I'm sure this question has been answered at some point,but ..

I've been building this portable rig powered off of USB power Banks..

How on Earth could I get the ambient zero to be powered this way?

I even bought the little expensive adapter, usb-c to correct power plug..

If the answer is no, I will get on with my life.. but if there is a slim chance for yes, I gotta go for it..

Thanks in advance

ELZ_1 Play Looper troubles...

I am finally getting the hang of using the looper but I often have glitches where a tone will cut off sharply at the end or the beginning which messes up the playback. Is there a setting I need to change as I am not understanding how to get smooth loops. I was so frustrated with the ELZ but now that I have learned some of the ways to use it, I am even creating my own patches but the looper issue has me wondering what I am doing wrong. I am doing this DAW-less....

My ambient0 finally arrived — here’s my very first track!

I’m the weird Japanese doctor who usually hangs around the Volca and Acid House subs. Yep, I’ve got GAS lol.

My long-awaited ambient0 finally arrived today!

It’s a little tricky to get the hang of, but so far I absolutely love it. And the best part is, it doesn’t disturb my daughter while she’s studying lol.

This is the very first track I made with it.
I kept things simple and put the classic Canon progression on Layer 1.

I’m looking forward to experimenting with it a lot more. I’d love to try making something with a Buddhist / meditative vibe too.

Listening back to this now, the mix is definitely a little off, but if you feel like it, give it a listen!

My very first ambient0 track — gotta start somewhere :)

Issue with Ambient 0 note triggering

I’m programming notes for the drone voice into the Ambient 0 sequencer, and having an issue with the notes triggering. Usually the first one triggers, and then after that it’s sporadic. I’ve tried Poly, Mono etc, it doesn’t matter, same issue. I tried various note lengths and BPM settings - also no change. Tie is off. I’m running out of ideas. Anyone know why this is happening?
