Just made my first couple of multi-samples using the auto-sampler algorithm and it is super easy; such a great idea! I’m going to start making some OPZ instruments.

Just got my pair today!
Thinking about putting both directly in the monome case!
Plenty ideas on this post, probably start by making that stereo to i2c cable…

#72

Mine arrived this morning. Excited to put it through its paces!

speaking of i2c, i’ve been working with os on teletype integration. will post the betas tonight once i have the time to document. here is what will be possible:

  • presets - load, save, get current preset, reset
  • algorithms - select, get selected (single algos only for now)
  • parameters - set, get current values, get min/max
  • wav recorder - control playback and recording
  • augustus loop - set pitch and send clock
  • midi - send various midi messages (requires midi breakout)
  • select bus - send various select bus messages
  • send notes to SD Multisample and SD Triggers

(i’ve been posting some examples on my insta)

Does the ex follow the same order of the Txb?
Ex goes GND - SCL -SDA
Txb goes GND (Tip of stereo jack) - ? ?

Got it, yes its the same order, thanks @scanner_darkly !

#77

oh and for the ex itself it does use the same order as teletype.

i’ve posted the complete i2c specification here if any of the crow developers want to add disting ex support!

I’m really glad to note that the Disting EX illuminated jack sockets (at least on my particular unit) are pleasantly firm (unlike, sadly, those on any of my other Expert Sleepers modules).

i replaced my four mk4 Distings with two EX modules and immediately noticed the bad digital noise floor of my modular disappeared!

now to sell these four extra modules!

Its a module i made based on the most simple circuit by doepfer;
I use it to send reset signals to clocks, trigger teletype scenes…
Ill post it on my github assap, its based on this schematic:

It’s quite fun to see what new creature the EX morphs into as the algorithms come. This new single mode algorithm looks like a pretty full featured, configurable, and compact euro looper (actually 4 independent loopers). Quantized or unquantized recording, route the 4 ins and the 4 outs independently to set up a stereo mix, overdub, reverse, crossfade, etc. Seems a bit fiddly compared to a dedicated looper if using the onboard controls. But considering that everything can be mapped with MIDI opens things up - breaking the controls out across a small MIDI controller would be great in terms of interaction.

I’ve had my superdisting for a few weeks know and I’m enjoying it immensely. I’ve been gifted a midi to select bus breakout add on, has anyone here tried it out? I’ve already got a midi to cv converter in my case so would there be any advantage in adding it to my set up if I don’t already have modules that use the select bus cv and gate protocol?

new 1.3 version has been posted which includes the teletype integration: https://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/distingEXfirmwareupdates.html

Multi-Sample SD algorithm works great now with the 1.3 firmware. Controlling the EX with a Nerdseq midi track is so fun. Really liking this module.

I was also having trouble with it. Was trying to play with Polyearthsea with 1.0 and most of the notes were missing. Did the update today and it works as expected!
