Why does the delay on the ER1 have to effect the entire pattern? I wish the ER1 delay could be used only on specific parts. And each part have its own delay value.

I have the same feeling as you about the Dirtywave M8. I'm terrible at it and I'm not really that into chiptune music but I've heard some really cool stuff made by people like laamaa and red means recording and keeps me too inspired to get rid of it. The learning curve is huge but the community is so great.

@1wildrogue6 күн бұрын
Your points on the M8 are absolutely valid and there is no way of telling before getting into the tracker workflow, if it will click with you or not. I'm mostly an "instruments" guy, meaning I don't like programming notes in and all that, but for some reason the M8 just clicked with me on another level and what you call "forced" into a workflow I saw more as a blessing of getting out of the usual harmonies and rhythms my brain wants to default to. Anyways, enjoyable video as always 🙂

Really love that Moog Lead, and the MS-20's filter is legend. Question - is there any way to bypass the hardwired legato on the MS-20 through patching? I feel like it's harder to play than something like my Mother 32, as every note has to be played disconnected from the last. Also not a fan of the first note priority (or is it last?).

amazing video sir, I was constantly looking for shiny new toys as well but then came to realisation that hardware should fit the ideal flow that I already have in mind (in my case it should rely heavily on vocals, nicely sampled pianos and real time looping/dubbing ). For this, I believe, all I need is a good mic, ableton with NI piano VSTs and a 88 keys keyboard with comfortable keys. That said, I'm gonna get my hands on m8 headless on my steam deck soon (just to have some capable portable solution with me all the time). I wanted to buy the ko2 but ended up using kiala sampler ios app instead - fits well my on the go sketching needs.

Fair enough. I still think m8 is one of the best portable music making device out there. With one of the best synths and absolutely insane sampler. Tried polyend tracker mini but found it extremely limited. Have to say I tried it before recent update so may need to dive it a go again one day. But still, tracker mini still not as portable.

For me the killer was no built in mic on the M8. Also, while the synths sound great they just took me down the same path each time. Especially the Swarm synth. I'm not making complete songs in the Tracker, I'm just getting sketches together so I can bring them into the computer to flesh them out.

I'm hyped to give it a good test to see what I can get out of it.
@@craigwilliamsmusic Have fun!
this was a great walkthrough cheers i spent the whole time trying to work out where’s the person eating crisps i can hear ..it’s the microphone rubbing on your neck
Thank you and I do apologize for the mic rubbing. I couldn't work out what it was when I was editing and then I realized and though ahhhh man
How good is this unit at producing solic kick drums?
It's ok at best. I think there are loads of other machines that can do that job a lot better.
This reminds me a lot of a. smaller scaled down version of my Analogue Solutions Leipzig v2.
Oh yeah, I never had a solid go of that machine but I can see the similarities
I love the simplicity of this device and sliders!
Sometimes when a machine just does a small number of things really well it crushes.
