I also purchased a new Rene over the summer :frowning: A friend at Make Noise told me not to sell the old Rene. There are some interesting ways to control the old Rene with the new Rene! However thats a lot of HP.

I’d love to hear more about this!

the color coding is very intuitive. navigating the menus on the original rene is much more cryptic and now there are also lights under each touch pad which makes programming and performing on the fly much more natural feeling.

each setting name is illuminated when you are in that menu, and each of the three channels (X,Y,C) has a color, so you pretty much always know where you are. i would say the because of the color coding and revamped menu navigation, one will interact more with those features under the hood which don’t seem so tucked away anymore.

I’m fully intending on having both R1 and R2 in a little Make Noise touch control skiff. It’ll look something like this:

I love that idea! I might steal that idea once I rebuild my 6u!

i could really see that as an interesting control skiff, very cool

Ha - I’ve done exactly the same! And it has the added benefit of making some much needed room in the Shared System case. They might have to start advertising it as a 3 row system soon, once they’ve added another couple of modules…

Ive pre-ordered, its my favorite sequencer by quite some margin - im wondering if anyone has any luck getting onto those people that where doing the top plate replacement for the MKI?
Surprised its taken them this long considering the touch pate issues but they sound like they’ve nailed it this time - happy days

I’m hoping that they’ll decide to add a 4U CV Bus Skiff to the case lineup at some point, for those of us opting for the separate touch control skiff. Having a 4U CV Bus Skiff alongside a 7U CV Bus case sounds like a dream.

From this video it looks a lot more intuitive than the mark 1.

I was just going to say the same, at first this looked incredibly complicated but the after breaking it down in this video it looks just the opposite.

this video is super clarifying, but anyone with one of the beta versions…maybe it’s coming in another video, but is it possible to turn off the quantization and get the unquantized output like the older make?

#81

Yes, they mentioned it briefly in the video. On the quantizer page the top four touch plates choose the octave range, 1 to 4 octaves left to right. If you then tap the pad that is currently lit, it will turn off and the output will be unquantized with a 0-4v range. They say “maximum resolution” instead of unquantized in the video, probably because the digital implementation isn’t truly unquantized :wink:

Got a pretty in-depth introduction to R2 to this afternoon at work prior to the event at Synth City, and even had some nice hands-on time with it on two different occasions today. I had a much easier time jumping right in than I did have with the first René.

Bought a System Cartesian 3 weeks ago (with rene mk I) - and now MN offers it already w/ rene mk II… how am I supposed to feel?

#85

Michael! You’re the man!

Sorry if you already answered this on Muffwiggler, but did you happen to notice if they perhaps created a new option where you can do the “mpc mode” trick (play rene like a touch keyboard with pitch and held gate) without having to send it 5v from a separate module?

Send them a message, they might do something ?
