@@violetceles8849 I have a signup page at audioenjoyer dot com

Thanks! It is still in development, so things may change. However, here are some of the current features that will be offered: - 16 pattern banks, 16 patterns per bank, 16 pattern variations per pattern, and 16 tracks per pattern at 64 steps maximum. - The pattern variations can be chained to achieve a pattern with a length of 1024 steps. - All 16 tracks can be either a mono sample track or MIDI track. - The first four tracks can also be a 2-oscillator monophonic virtual analog synth track, or a 4-voice dexed (dx7 emulation) FM synth track. A track can also be a cv/gate or cv/trig track and be routed to any of the 4 cv/gate pair outputs (there are technically 8 cv outputs, but they are paired by default). - There are 4 dual performance modes: fill/chain, mute/solo, macro/random, and ratchet/arpeggiator. There is a song mode too. - There is a 3.5mm stereo line input jack for sample recording, a 3.5mm stereo line output, a 3.5mm headphone output. - There are two 5-pin DIN MIDI ports for MIDI input and output. - There will be a USB-C port for firmware updates and USB-MIDI. - There is a microSD card for storing/streaming samples and project data. Eventually, stereo sample support, more sound engines, and audio over USB may be added. In terms of additional elements like encoders, the device has a MIDI input so eventually a third-party MIDI controller could be used to extend the controls. But this is just the first iteration. I already have ideas for a rev2 :)

There are currently 4 instances of the dexed engine running on the xr-1, each with 4-voices of polyphony available.

OTOH that might cost too many computons and make it all more fragile?

I like the idea. I would like to design it to be fault tolerant enough to not need it, but I think having some high level metrics available somewhere would be useful.

It should not be possible. What are you gonna do when the warning comes up on a peak moment. Let it cool down? 😂

​@@MultiMam12345optional water-cooling module!

Thank you! Yes I did.

Yes

Can you do a vid showing that off ?

Yes, when the sample play rate reaches 0 it plays the sample in reverse.

Yeah def a bummer. Makes it not standalone.

The website to signup for more information is launching after Machina Bristronica. Visit audioenjoyer.com after 10/1 and you should be able to sign up to receive news when the product is ready.

Working on it 👍

Thanks, I will be releasing more info in the coming weeks. 😀

I like it, but I had to mod the voice cards to remove some unwanted aliasing artifacts, it's something you really notice when employing keyboard velocity and aftertouch, an annoying 1khz noise present on many synths with lower-res DACs. The downside is that this solution affects the strength and length of the amp envelope. The Kijimi mkII was just announced and I'm interested in seeing how that sounds.

Yes, I saw your comments about that aliasing. I have the new voice cards pcbs but that’s not the fix ..I may reach out to ask some questions in some six months when I start this project - cheers!

If I find the original recording I can post it to SoundCloud. You can find me there, thanks!

The PRO 3 is playing the bass line. I sold both. I rate the Take 5 an 8/10. It's a great set of features for its price, but there are some tradeoffs. You lose some of the high end at default settings compared to the Prophet 5, and the form factor is not as desirable IMO. I think the Prophet 5 can retain a bit more punch in the low end than the Take 5 as well.

These monitors were probably a bit overkill for my space and use-case, but I appreciate being able to get more proper use out of them eventually.

Yes

I like the T5, though I wish it had a brighter default tone, like the P5. Using the high-pass filter effect and tweaking the filter resonance can get you there a bit, but I think it's just naturally a more mellow sounding synth (assuming you're not doing much by way of modulation). The PRO 3 goes places for bass patches that the T5 can't go, it has a really nice low end and doesn't lose its bite in the lower octaves. It also is just a very versatile instrument with the CV IO, sequencer, modulations, wavetables, and aux envelopes. It's gotta be great for sound design.

The pads / brass

I like the prophet 5 desktop, but sometimes I do wish I had the keys readily available so I could just sit and noodle with it on its own. Plus it just looks amazing. But I'm not a keyboard player and I like programming music, so the desktop is great to have (and it's the most affordable). I do also wish it had those bigger gray push buttons like the prophet 6 desktop had.

@@sonicsandcastles Thanks for the vid and also this response. I have one coming in today and I definitely agree about those bigger gray buttons... regardless, still very excited for this one.
