Day 2 report - this thing sounds really good with a wide variety of sounds possible. I’m still getting used to the workflow and it is a bit clunky in places, but I’m sure muscle memory will kick in soon. The saving aspect is a nuisance but the template provided earlier in this thread is very useful.
I have noticed the odd audio glitch when selecting the active part - hopefully that is something that will be sorted with a firmware update.
Has anyone else had problems getting parts to mute in the mixer screen? The rhythm part will mute and unmute, and I can mute and unmute individual rhythm sounds, but the synth parts will not mute/unmute. I know I can just use the sliders, and that’s what I ended up doing, but it wasn’t fun to discover this while trying to record something.
Here is a pic of my SH-4d with upgraded knobs. This really makes a huge difference, especially to the cutoff. I got them from thonk.co.uk; if anyone is interested I can share the part numbers.
Sure! The pointer knobs are these ‘Joranalogue’ style ones. The endless encoders are these Sifam soft-touch laddies (small soft, item MPN 3/07/DPN10) that look so similar to the Joranalogues that I think they must be from the same manufacturer. And the filter cutoff is this Intellijel-style Sifam plastic knob (large unskirted, MPN DC151). This last one is not soft-touch like the others but you get to choose a colour for the cap. You need 25 pointers and 6 endless encoders.
Well I wanted to test the machine but I also have an MC 101 which on some levels ( ok have no 4th track avail ) it gives me the sound I need and more portable. Im.considering still
