keep in mind (in my understanding) that adding a new cue / slice will change the voltage references to the cue’s.

#1273

Seems like a valuable hint but honestly over my head as i am modular noob. So if you could explain in what situations and in my application that means, it d be very helpful.

So i cant dial in cv to slice per pad with a standard controller like pressure points bc when i dial in slice #3 1 and 2 would not stay as prepared?

So how to do it then?

#1274

well you COULD, and then just avoid adding any new cues till your performance was done. seems not ideal.

actually to be honest, I suspect that W/ is not supposed to be brilliant at being a sampler in the way that an old tape recorder is not brilliant at being a sampler.

For my purposes, I’m hopeful that the W/ and Teletype interaction will get me where I want to go. (sorry if this is a broken record for you, I’m like 70% sure we talked on the Other Forum)

Likely we did but i dont think about teletype, i am not planing to go there at all. Its the opposite of my aim wich is a small 60-84 hp totally independent perf skiff either with the allflash pads or a controller module.
Battery powered and functional without any cables to the outside.

Well it should/is supposed to do that afaik, to quote Schneidersladen „it can be used as a multidrum sampler“ loosely put.

I dont see a real use for slices/cues if you cant adress several of them correctly!??

But i maybe should reduce my expectations on what W does and see it as sketchbook and have a dedicated small hp sampler for slice or maybe soundfile triggering. If W really cant do this :confused:

#1276

Speaking of wich…any of the small hp sample players would allow soudfile per 1v/oct triggering? I always saw them more as primitve playback devices.

But i dont give up on W doing this in a way somehow yet :slight_smile:

#1277

Try a korg sq-1 - each step can be tuned freely. You can also press the pads to trigger whenever you want if the sequencer is not running.

#1278

I’m sure that W/ can do some form of this. The issue, I think, is in how W/ does slice selecting with cv.
For instance, in CUE mode sending a trig to THIS will play the current slice. You can navigate slices using the L button + UP for next or DOWN for previous. To select a slice via cv you need to put your trigger and an offset into THIS. An offset of 0v stays on the current slice. -1v to -2v will move to the previous slice, and 1v to 2v the next.

This makes it sort of hard to do traditional drum sampling.

Thanks but really not looking for a step sequencer and not sth outside the case (exception would be clean pitch tracking to cv like sonicsmith might be cappable of…but forget teiggering slices that way i guess…same issues as allflesh)

#1280

I have a malekko 8nu8r wich i could use for offset, but i don’t understand completely how a multi pad input could be controllable through only one offset. To me it seems every pad would need its own?
And i ve no idea if the malekko is bipolar either

Well easy is boring i guess :smiley:

It might be best to use the W like tape then and only mangle perfomed loops and record the case and have traditional sample playing in another module.

#1281

You don’t have to use the sq-1 as.a step sequencer.

You could look at the larger Erica Synth sequential switch with expander too for something in-case. That might work.

#1282

Interesting! Probably similar to use the 4ms shifting mingle thingle but i would end up with inconsistent voltages via the allflesh pads (to wich use you refer i think?)

Bc of the organic variables

Ok i,see now about the erica. You mean using the pads it houses. Probably would work somehow i agree and sequencer on top. Not sure if its a ideal solution but might be worth to read into

#1283

don’t think to linear with W/

with similar sounds on one tape, it should work well…however using “kick, snare etc” and try to trigger them could be frustrating

Sure as a soundfile player i wouldnt start to look at it (kick snare etc) but ripping apart for example breaks would be indeed one of my applications.
Also i love the otherness of this device…not to come off wrongly here. Just if it cant do sone of the things i wanted to i might need to combine it with sth else.

If I’m not mistaken, TipTop One, Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 both do what I think you’re wanting (one shot sample playback with 1v/O control). I believe the Music Thing Radio Music can also be configured to do this in more recent firmware.

You probably could do this with W/ but it would be really finicky and probably a waste of the more interesting things W/ can do well, like acting like a tape player with sound on sound recording. That said, you could set up one of your W/ tapes like this and not set any new cue points in it once set (this would break the range of voltages triggering the cues) and then use other tapes for more W/-like scenarios.

If you’re looking for a one shot sampler though there are better options out there, IMO.

#1287

:bulb:

Great idea about setting up a tape in a probably very long session. This could work well. I think this would have to happen within one power cycle and only new cues after older ones!?

Would this need a voltage memory controller to work?
I guess i a having a hard time anyway how to fine set cues per Gate Signal with a simple -5 to +5 range over a span of 90 min.
Also i havent found out how to implement that bipolarity at all.

Just to be sure. Allflesh pads into ladik trigger to midi. Into midi to cv, into W/ would still leave me without ability to tune slices to pads. Or would a single offset for the complete CV into W be enough to move my 10 pads chained as cues across the tape? ( probably akward because of startpoints but still interesting to know)

Damn if i could combine this idea with the allflesh pads… hm but a cheap simple soundfile player with the pads into w for a more sequenced approach could be ace too

Forgive my confusing post above…

Simple question. What controllers give out -5 to +5 V to have direct control of the full tape width of W/?

Can pressure points do this? Or is it common to stack an offset parallel to the CV?

#1289

No, Pressure Points is 0-5.5V or 0-8V depending on the row.

#1290

intellijel Planar and Planar 2

#1291

Intellijel Tetrapad in voltages mode. it’s possible that Teletype will (in future?) be able to do this without patch cords??
