    • @DocBolus
      @DocBolus Місяць тому

      It might just be a loose connection on the MIDI or some kind of MIDI configuration issue. You need to make sure that the editor is using the MIDI interface that the modular is connected to. Out of memory could be that you are putting too many modules into a patch. Remember it has a limited DSP load? Hope that helps a little.

    Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm picking one of these this week and looking forward to getting my teeth into it. Could i ask, does the DIN MIDI out send the sequencer signals out to drive another device or is it just a thru/bypass? Also i see there is a line out, that 3.5mm one, is that stereo or mono output? Sorry for the barrage of questions!

    • @DocBolus

      To be honest I haven't tried to drive an external synth with the onboard sequencer, but it is an interesting experiment. When I get some time back I might have a play with that. As for the output, there is a VCA/line output in mono and a stereo headphone out. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

    Your videos are great, they are helping me a lot, could you explain how SCALE/BEAT works?

    • @DocBolus
      @DocBolus Місяць тому

      Thanks man. That would probably take a video to explain properly so when I get some time back to start recording again I will put something together, but in the meantime the scale/beat sets the value of each step division. So for example if you set it to 32 then the sequence plays back double time. This can be useful for filling in rolls, so a single 16 step sequence would only be half a bar. Not sure if that is very clear but I hope it points you in the right direction.

    Awesome video and thanks for making it, I may pick one up but have 3 Quick questions; 1. Once you are done setting up a patch and saved it, can you disconnect it from the PC and bring the Micro Modular to another studio or to a live gig, or does it always have the connected to a computer to work? 2. How many patches can you save on the unit ? 3. If you don’t max out DSP, is it miltitambrial? Thanks again!

    • @DocBolus
      @DocBolus 2 місяці тому

      No worries, glad you found it helpful... 1) You can save patches to the Micro Modular and then take them where you like. They will be in the machine so once you plug in a midi device and call up the patch you can use it. 2) You can save 100 patches on the unit, but they can be swapped with patches saved to your PC anytime. 3) It's not really multitimbral in that you can't play more than one patch at a time. You can however create patches which are multi layered with percussion, bass and lead lines all played on the same patch (though not via separate midi channels) Happy to answer any questions..

    I do a similar thing but with velocity. You can put a velocity range for each different voice of each different partial (putting different sounds on each partial) and then tell it to play a random velocity on each pad. I forgot that you can stack notes in the seq , like you're saying above, so this could get super crazy!!! Also i think you can put different voices on left and right , so you can also give it a random pan i think. So you could potentially on one pad, have 8 different voices programmed. Crazy!! If i make a patch with this I'll send a link. Also , i made a video a long time ago doing some of these techniques in a fake euro accent on my page years ago.

    • @DocBolus

    I really like the sound of this thing. I think the sound is right between Moog and EMS gear. And affordable too. Damn.. This will be my first hardwate analog synth in 20 years.

      Yeah it does have it's own unique sound that I don't think has been exploited by emulator creators. Definitely an edge to a sonic arsenal.

    Brilliant tutorial! Thank you. With this format could you for example have a bass syth note layer a kick drum?

    • @DocBolus
      @DocBolus 7 місяців тому

      I see no reason why not, they would both be pitched and I don't think you could create an actual kit with this, so it would just be a heavy thumping bass tone.

    I’m new to sequencers and it was driving me insane trying to figure out how to make polyrhythms. Thank you so much for this!

      No worries, I am sure there are other ways to do it, but this just made sense in the way my head works.

    Let’s record a sample The ES-1mkII makes it very easy for you to record a sample. Sampled sounds (samples) can be easily assigned to the parts of each pattern. The sampling area of internal memory can hold a maximum of 95 seconds, with up 150 samples (100 monaural, 50 stereo). If the factory preloaded samples are rewritten or erased, they cannot be restored to their original state. If you do not want to lose the factory preloaded samples, purchase a SmartMediaTM card and perform the Save operation (☞p.55) to make a backup. If you run out of memory while sampling, sampling will stop automatically. Before you start sampling, use the Sample mode MEMORY function (☞p.32) to check the remaining amount of sampling time. Here’s how to sample the output of an audio device (e.g., MD or CD). 1. Press the Sample mode key (the key will light).Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter select LED indicate SAMPLE. 2. Connect the audio device that you wish to sample to the audio in jack (AUDIO IN). The jack is a stereo phone jack, but you may also use a monaural phone plug if desired. Use the Global mode AUDIO IN MODE setting to switch between monaural and stereo (☞p.54). 3. In the connection section, set the MIC/LINE gain select switch to the LINE position. 4. Turn on the AUDIO IN THRU key (the key will light) so that you can hear the input sound. 5. Either by adjusting the output level of the external device or by rotating the LEVEL knob, adjust the output level of the connected device so that the peak LED does not light even when the maximum output level is reached.

    very good evening dear, I am a teacher at a secondary school and I am currently learning to drive this electric smk2 and I have a problem because I see the manual I have read it several times I am already tired and bored that I do not understand it it does not work for me would you be so Kindly send me some small reviews on how to do it. There is undoubtedly a video in which I see it and they explain to me how to use the Audi City program but I still have the doubt because I have it connected to the computer, a base of an instrument that works below and not and it doesn't record directly, it doesn't record in a So I wanted to know, so I'm going to thank you. And first of all, thank you very much for your channel, which is still very interesting and has served me quite well. I send you a hug here from Chile now and thank you very much for everything.

      Wow, didn't know anyone from Chile would watch. Let me see if I can help but can we take it a step at a time. It may take longer but I can try and narrow down exactly what you need by asking some questions. Are you trying to sample directly into the machine, or are you trying to load samples from a computer?

    Ihave a question bout the pattern play. If I want to change a pattern while the synth playing, it changes at moment I push the button , for example at the rd6 the sequence plays till the end and than change the pattern. So is there a posibiliti the crave is doing the same? Is there a guide (even in english) about the „button 8“ , u know what I mean? If u push „hold & shift & 8“ u open a menu , but I really know nothing what u can do there! Aaand if hold shift and turn the VC MIX Uran also change some thing , but what, there has to be a guide for such things but I don’t find it yet…. Please an answere would be really nice..

    • @DocBolus
      @DocBolus 7 місяців тому

      It is possible. To be honest it's been a while since I last played with it as a sequencer, I have been using it as a module when I dig it out recently. The only manual is the quick start guide which can be found here mediadl.musictribe.com/media/PLM/data/docs/P0DPX/CRAVE_QSG_WW.pdf It's not super clear but can be useful.

    • @Toughinger

      Thanks , I know about this quick start guide but there is nothing about the menu at button 8 …. I allready have it here. It’s just the quick start guide but I have to go deeper now! Maybe I discover it by my self, I hope I don’t damage the whole thing!! Have a nice evening and thank u for the answer!@@DocBolus
