Yeah.

I mean, it’s a shit track, but it works.

I think you’d be struggling a bit more outside of techno/drone sort of stuff though, and transitions would be a paincin the arse.

Yeap, I had this whole plan for a live setup which was much too complex so I ditched the plan. Just Perkons and some voices routed to the xone db4 is already completely mental for a live set. Added syntakt for extra percussion, drones etc. and maybe lemondrop for textures.

Perkons’ sound is very thick and full so gotta be mindful to not add too many sounds on top of it (or mute a few voices

Actually really doable. Just gotta switch quick and keep morphing stuff. I still need to become a bit quicker and more familiar with certain settings that I love to dial things in more quickly but i think it’s doable to just start with nothing and create a whole set on the spot. Going to try that anyway. :grimacing:

How about a four voice only “can it Perkons?” challenge. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Drone, as promised.

Can the master return input just be used as an audio mix input to hook up a tb-303 clone and mix the audio without the need for an additional mixer?

Sorry Dave, couldn’t find a balanced cable.

I’ll get in the garage later and see if I can find one in the loom of doom.

Am I the only one struggling with ALL voice parameter control?
I can’t get it to work live, does it work only as a step lock?

“You can also do parameter automations for all voices
simultaneously. To do so, push and hold the SHIFT button
and rotate, for example, any TUNE knob. The tune will be
altered for all four voice simultaneously.”

Attempt nothing without the gloves!

Doesn’t seem to work. I send this to Erika synths.

it sounds like a great live tweak feature, but reading the manual correctly (assuming that only works with p locks), then you need to hold both Shift+1 step and tweak the parameter. which is impossible with 2 arms only :slight_smile:

It specifically says automation though :slight_smile: and I don’t think they’d implement a feature that’s impossible to pull off by one two armed human :stuck_out_tongue:
