That’s what I tried first, and on start/stop it definitely does not behave as expected. It gives me something close, but it’s fires off at an unexpected time.

It first fires after 25%, and then behaving as I would expect with those settings after the first loop, which is what led me to wonder if I was doing it correctly. (All other settings are 0 except level.) :thinking:

You might consider Mutable Instruments Streams

https://mutable-instruments.net/modules/streams/

Much to offer.

#2161

Streams as a compressor is a bit on the subtle side, from what I remember. I hear very good things about MSCL and hope to try one at Knobcon.

I would do this:

Set the speed to 4x what you want it to be, set ER steps to 4, ER trigs to 1, rotation as desired.

So if you want /4 0001, you would set speed to 1x, ER Steps 4, Trigs 1, then rotate appropriately.

Oh right! Very clever! I’ll give that a try. I still feel like the other behavior is weird, but that seems like it should solve it.

#2164

That was my experience too.

Mine too. I had a Streams for a while and it didn’t really offer me what I was looking for in compression.

Can I use stackable at the end of the cable( the first input jack) to mult, i.e. Pam’s channel 1 going into Rene, from there with stackable to marbles, and from there through other jack on stackable somewhere else?

#2167

Your question is a bit confusingly put but both sockets on the back of a stackcable output a mult of whatever is input at whatever end of the cable, so yes, you can chain them (which I advise you do anyway because it’s less clutter and puts less strain on the plugs in terms of gravity), you can even connect two stackcables without plugging in one side in order to make a temporary extended cable.

@oot answered it. I occasionally confuse myself into thinking cables are one way. (I do a lot of flow based signal stuff for my job.) Any output you connect via stackable will add it’s signal to the cable chain, so mixing outputs can sometimes produce unexpected results, but otherwise, stack strategically!

I’m planning to build an RIP once the group buy thing happens, but in the meantime I’m looking to get my euro audio into an XLR cable. I was thinking about going ahead and getting a balanced 1/4 to XLR in preparation for RIP and then using a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to go into the bastl dude mixer (which is dual mono same signal on left and right). Is this going to be a problem traveling through a balanced cable, will it end up dual mono, or single mono on the other end, is it better if I get use a TS 1/4 to TS 1/8?

A TRS cable can be either stereo or balanced right? It’s just a matter of the signal you’re putting into it and where you’re taking it out on the other end…? So with RIP if I monitor one of the outputs with TRS headphones it would phase cancel, but if I monitored it with a TS cable it would simply be a mono signal. In order to have the balanced signal you need a TRS cable to take it to an input expecting a balanced signal which will flip the inverted signal back… correct? An XLR connection would be expecting a balanced signal (right?) so I’m wondering if sending it dual mono would make it flip one half and cause phase cancellation…

(Not strictly euro question but I didn’t know where to post - this seemed preferable to reviving old “1/4 vs 1/8” or “benefits of balanced” threads from 2016)

XLR cables are usually used to carry balanced signals with the “hot” (in phase) signal on pin 2 (equivalent to T(ip) on a TRS) and the “cold” (inverted phase) signal on pin 3 (equivalent to R(ing) on a TRS.

The output of your dude mixer is a 3.5mm TRS jack which has the same signal on the T(ip) and R(ing).
If you plug you TRS to XLR cable in your Dude (with an adapter of course) the signals will be cancelled out when they get to the mixer or interface (as long as you used a standard balanced XLR input).

You will have the in-phase signal on the left channel and the inverted signal on the right.

Each RIP channel is mono by definition (but balanced out). Using a TS cable will short the inverted signal to ground resulting in a unbalanced signal. In some applications it may lead to distortion, however I do not know if this will be the case with transformer outs (maybe someone can chime in here). In such cases it is common practice to use TRS Jacks but leave the ring floating (unconnected).

So long story short: If you really have to connect your Dude via XLR to another mixer I’d suggest that you use a stereo splitter first and then via unbalanced TS to XLR cable to your mixer (no benefits here however).

Once your RIP is here TRS to XLR is the way to go :slight_smile:

MSCL is great. Have two - one for side chaining, one for end of chain. Am very happy with them and would recommend.

For those thinking about using pedals like Big Sky - the Strymon AA.1 module is a good choice as offers stereo in/out in 4HP which is the smallest I’ve found.

Big Sky and an M32 sounds fabulously beautiful.

#2173

Knobs ferry is same hp with a bit more control and a bit less convenience with cables :slight_smile:

#2174

Id appreciate any thoughts on whether I should keep my M32 with my newly acquired Microvolt 3900 or sell it and pick up more specific modules (2nd osc, utility ect). If the latter, what would you recommend?

Hi guys,

I noticed that when I run my modular system through the Kaoss Pad the sound is all panned to the right in my DAW.

Do u know how to fix that?

#2176

Are you coming out of your eurorack in stereo or in mono? I never used a Kaoss Pad, but if your coming out mono from your eurorack, then the issue should probably be related to how you have your DAW audio channel set up. It should be mono, or you’ll be missing one side of the stereo signal.
I guess the Kaoss Pad has the possibility to work both in mono and stereo. Make sure you have it set up to work in mono or stereo, depending on how you’re coming out of the eurorack.
If you know all of this already and you have a fully stereo path, then you should swap cables one by one and see if you find the guilty part.

#2177

I am coming out mono from the eurorack but I did not setup anything in Ableton

#2178

In Ableton there’s no mono/stereo audio channel, so if you haven’t moved the pan pot, that shouldn’t be it (unless you’re having some monitoring problem). Have you checked what your settings are for the Kaoss Pad? I never used one and I find there’s a number of them. If you’re using it for processing and effects and are coming out of it in stereo, make sure the panning isn’t happening in the Kaoss Pad. Also, check cables between the Kaoss Pad and your audio interface.
