Aw man. Should have checked U.K. shops before ordering direct I guess. I thought there was no way they’d have them ready for announcement. It’s to the credit of the modular community that nothing (much/specific) was leaked.

#523

No, London Modular too. That’s just down the road as well. Oh well, the wait will give me a chance to sit back and watch you guys figure out all the tough stuff. Thanks in advance.

Cold mac is great btw. Took a little while to figure out but now we’re friends.

I find I end up hitting l+up a bunch of times to get to the last cue point, then I go to Nav mode and FFWD past, and then add a new cue point just to be careful. :slight_smile:

I can’t seem to get the worn tape mode to work. When I’m in Live mode and I send negative cv into That all I get is volume control over the playback. Maybe I’m missing something here?

#528

Got mine today, I can definitely see this taking a bit of time to learn. I’ve done Izzy a few times but I’m still trying to figure out the basics. Starting to get the hang of it the more I’m working with it though and reading through all the helpful tips people have provided on here. Definitely looking forward to figuring out how to clear the whole tape and starting fresh though I definitely made some mistakes overdubbing by accident early on.

A couple of things:

  1. Do you have material recorded in your loop to begin with, like noise or some previous recording?

  2. With feeding a negative voltage to THAT in Live mode, I’ve found that the offset needs to be precise. Anything past -4V and I’ve simply gone into full “overwrite” mode, attenuating the original material.

Do you have record engaged?

I think I ran into this as well, but am only like 3hrs in w/ mine. My understanding: When you don’t have record engaged you’re hearing what would be fed back into the tape on the next record. So at -5 where it would be overwritten there’s no sound. At -4 I think what you’re hearing is an attenuated and compressed version of the sound that would cause it to regenerate like a delay w/ lower feedback if you turned record on. at cv nearing 0 the tape compression tapers off and you are hearing the full volume of the sound so that it would regenerate 100% if you had record on.

W/o record engaged it’s not that different from volume control (except with a little compression) of the loop, but with record engaged around -4 will turn the current pass through the loop into a quieter/compressed “faint ghost” on the next pass.

I ordered mine on release day (as soon as the Meng Qi video was posted :seedling:) and just received my W/ this afternoon.
I think WR are too bogged down with shipping to stress over order confirmations.
That being said, receiving that cute little surprise of a package this afternoon turned an otherwise bogus day into a great one! @Galapagoose mentioned that all modules should be shipped out by Wednesday at the latest!

Can’t wait to get overwhelmed!

I’m surprised to see how many people are requesting a delete tape function. I don’t think I would ever use it - as I’m finding the gradual accumulation of nonesense on my tapes to be one of my favourite things about this module. In fact I’ve spent most of my music time over the past few days deliberately trying to build up this patina inside of W/

I would, however, really like an easy way to delete all cue points :3

Ah so the “worn tape” is supposed to be used for really quiet back ground “ghost” sounds/delay effects? I was under the impression it was more like a full on effect. I think all of this is starting to make sense… I think!

“worn” tape. As in Tape that has become worn-out.

Yes, that’s a fair summary. Each pass you record whilst sending a negative voltage into That leaves a ghostly after-image of the previous recording behind.

Alternatively, if you record into a loop, sending a negative voltage into That results in a decaying Space Echo style Tape Delay effect. With the voltage level affecting how quickly the sound decays and the length of the loop affecting the length of the delay.

That depends on what you have recorded! When I was first using the machine, I scattered several minutes worth of screaming dissonance and white noise at full volume level - randomly throughout multiple tapes! I would have to record 8hrs worth of silence to be sure I had got rid of it all.

Anyway, this is a moot point because @galapagoose has said the ability to wipe tapes already exists, we just need to know the magic combo.

I agree that Delete All Cues is also much needed!

My tapes are full of digital noise caused by a glitch so a delete function would be very handy.

For proper use I think tape and cue deleting would be great too, but I do see the charm of not deleting anything and going back years later.

My module occasionally stops working but I am unable to reliably repeat the bug such that I can report it.

What happens is that I get no Audio at all except when an end of loop is reached, at which point there is a short burst of noise.

It has happened 3 or 4 times, I wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary(!). Rebooting fixes the issue.

#539

Has anybody tried punch recording yet? I was just trying to do it with PNW, but it’s hard to get a perfect loop without the ability to punch i/o record AND the cue points at the same time(could be me not understanding it yet).

Also another question regarding punch recording: has anyone been able to start play automatically when punching in record? I now press play manually.

#540

Is it that glitchy noise or is the burst made of sounds you recorded? I noticed I’d sometimes accidentally overwrite beginnings of loops.

#541

Not sure but it was happening regardless of mode and Tape. The only audio that came out of the output was a very short burst as a loop returned to its beginning.

#542

That sucks. I can relate to your issue reporting bugs, it’s very hard to replicate.

Edit: also wondering if any of the beta testers run into the digital noise glitches.

#543

Mac is great and a very handy module to use with w/ in particular.
