Amazing as ever with OS and this multisampling is tremendous

nice guy too (sold me a 3 tier stand recently)

super excited to order thursday :slight_smile:

Wow Iā€™m loving this demo so much, definitely want to spend some deep time with this ingenious module. But, just saying, whatā€™s with the Sega Genesis graphics??

This thing is a total beast on paper!

96kHz with 700Āµs latency is pretty darn impressive. Especially for streaming off a uSD card?

It looks like the included Spitfire samples are all from the Labs collection which are totally free anyway! Would absolutely recommend trying them out if you use VSTā€™s at all, some amazing sounds.

But yeah Iā€™m looking forward to seeing what people come up with using this!

Hereā€™s something for anyone else out there needing some stillness, all sounds from the Disting Ex played by kria and beautifully tickled by @Olivier ā€˜s Compass.

i put in a pre-order for two of these last week.
:stuck_out_tongue:
looks like i will have four Disting mk4s for sale soon!

Is that the spitfire piano then?

#29

Yes - the only problem with it that Iā€™m finding is that it does something odd to time. Whenever I sit down for a quick half hour at the modular, suddenly itā€™s the middle of the nightā€¦ :wink:

Ah, I thought that was only me. Filing under feature not bug.

Is it possible to have too many Distings?

heh!
trueā€¦but my modular is out of real estate and i REALLY donā€™t want to move into a bigger case.

This thing is nuts. First patch with the multi sample using one of the dulcimer Banks. Canā€™t wait to start building my own sample libraries again.

Has anyone else had the chance to try it with i2c? I didnā€™t have any luck with a quick go at it (using SC.CV) but I also didnā€™t spend a lot of time with it yet either.

The display is super tiny for my poor eyes, and Iā€™m going to have to shuffle modules around and lean over it (and maybe even use a magnifying glass :frowning: ). The SD card is a real challenge to pop out and in too, with adult human sized fingers, but aside from firmware updates Iā€™m unlikely to swap samples around very much with it.

I think Iā€™m going to have mixed feelings about it as with the mk4, but the mix is biased more toward the positive this time. Navigation is improved, but itā€™s not quite manual-free as I (re-)acquaint myself with the algorithms.

Using it as a polyphonic sample player, controlled by Eurorack sequencing, feels really weird and mind-bending. Probably not something I will often want to use in my own music but itā€™ll be neat to have it on tap for those occasions.

So, messing with it more: when I use SC.CV I can see it in the i2c history on the Disting EX.

SC.CV 9 0: 62 10 08 00 00
SC.CV 9 1: 62 10 08 00 01
SC.CV 9 16384: 62 10 08 40 00
SC.CV 9 32768: 62 10 08 7F FF
SC.TR 4 1: 62 00 03 00 01
TO.CV 4 15: no response

According to the manual, the Disting EX is expecting an 11 rather than a 10 for the second byte for parameter control. So I guess Teletype will need another op?

#36

try using SC.CV.SET instead (it doesnā€™t use slew unlike SC.CV, my guess is thatā€™s what faderbank sends)

Ah! Thatā€™s the ticket. You also have to add 1 to the ID number.

E.g. if ID #8 is mapped to Mix_1->1, you have to SC.CV.SET 9 x

yep, the ops are 1-based, so they subtract 1

Good to get it working. :slight_smile:

As far as value scale goes: the default matrix mixer range is -200% to +200%.

0 = -200%
4096 = -100%
8192 = 0%
12288 = 100%
16384 = 200%

envious! still waiting for the 2 iā€™ve ordered, canā€™t wait to try them with teletype.

I did wind up buying a desk-mounted magnifying glass on eBay.

Mappings only apply to the single-mode algorithms. But since the dual-mode algorithms have much more limited parameters, that seems like an OK limitation.
