Had another session today. Similar to last time, not using a lot of the fancy stuff on w/, while playing just keeping it simple with triggering/pitching/jumping around.

I really like this module, and at 2hp, it still feels kinda crazy. I used to use my huge phonogene to do this (not as good as this!).

Thanks! The 1u is part of the case

#979

ahh man i dont want another whole case lol, how about that touch plate youre using??

#980

Haha lucky thing there are plenty if good 1u options :wink:
Touch plates here ā€”> thats a tough one!

#981

tough as in hard to find or build? looks a lil big for what real estate i have left. nice features though. have a nice weekend, thanks again for sharing

#982

For me it was a really tough buildā€¦ total lack of experience tho

#983

yes it was a vocal i recorded from a thai temple i cycle past most days. I mixed together and offset the gate + cv to 1 channel

i got a message from USPS ā€”i got like 5 in a minute
and mine should arrive tomorrow
i guess i will re-read this thread unless someone has sketched a how-to?

One tip that could have helped me is how to read the top of the ref card. In the pink bar at the top, its telling us how to move through the modes (horizontally on the card)

So, for example in Nav mode: pressing Play takes you left, to Live mode and pressing Loop+Record takes you right, to Cue mode.
Note: you can see in this way that Loop+Record will only take you to Cue mode if you are in Nav mode (play is stopped).

For another example you can see on the cardā€™s top bar: There is a command listed there for leaving Cue mode directly to Live mode (hold play, press switch down, and release play), but I have found it easier mentally (so far) just to press Loop, then Play, going into Nav mode then Live mode.

Here i have some terrible finger scribles trying to explain the right/left mode swiching as it is shown on the card:

This might be obvious, but wasnā€™t to me at first!

Have fun!!

does someone know how to jump directly to the beginning of the tape, without passing all the single cue points?

Doesnā€™t seem possible at the moment.

#989

Has anyone managed to jump around the cue points with a sequencer? Still struggling with that.

This is definitely a use case I am pursuing but Iā€™ve been taking it slowly to get there. Iā€™m thinking a sequencer into THIS in NAV mode +/- some attenuation should get there but I havenā€™t tried yet - Iā€™ve been focused on the basics for a few days lest I get lost and frustrated. Assuming a voltage takes you to a cue point (as its meant to) then the loop lengths are a factor in finding the cue points you are looking for as it says +/- 5v spans the entire tape. Interested to hear how you get on with this

#991

the manual says a trigger combined with an offset in THIS which iā€™ve tried, with lots of attenuation but not getting much - if the voltage spans the entire tape then i can understand why. Iā€™ve tried triggering Cold Mac also recommended in the manual but no joy also. I had joy on euro samplers before by playing about with pulse width modulation but not tried this yet. Do you jump around Cues in Play mode or Cue mode with loop on or off? - not sure

#993

Iā€™ve gotten this only semi-working, but not without some weirdness. For me, shifting to the next loop section via voltage causes somethine like a little pause (somthing like that) then on the next trigger, that next loop section plays. Going forwards worked better than going back.

I might give it another go today

EDIT:

I did give it a try but the w/ luck was not with me. i have two w/ā€˜s and each one was doing that thing where it either stops playing or stops jumping to cues, or plays some strange sound. Hehe.

Iā€™m hopfull there are firmware adjustments in the works ā€” if they are further off than a couple of weeks though, I would really love a temp fix for adding a button combo that reboots w/ without having to cycle my whole system. It just doesnt feel right to power cycle things like the er301 repeatedly.

For now after a power cyle or two, I put the w/ work away for a while :slight_smile:

Would you mind taking a shot from the other side? Iā€™m curious how the PCB mates with the panelā€¦ (normally threaded jacks hold the pcb to the panel, but it doesnā€™t seem to be the case with this designā€¦)

#995

Does the W/ cardboard box look roughly the same as the boxes for other Mannequins modules? Mine got separated from its shipping envelope and Iā€™m going to inquire at the post office if theyā€™ve seen it.
