TE OP-XY in c/[email protected]
[–] Electricblush 1 points 1 week ago

Most TE products are definitely extremely priced. I'm not getting pissed about it though. There is obviously a market for them and there is little in direct competition when it comes to size/form factor + feature set.

That being said, not worth it for me. Would rather buy one of my big dream synths for that price.

I have the Ep133 and while it has its quirks and limits, it's a fun device at a lot more reasonable price.

Warcraft 1 & 2 Remastered Editions Now Available in c/retrogaming

I think the main reason is that StarCraft sprites were based on 3d models so either they can be made higher definition by working from the original assets or they simply upscale better.

Wc1 and 2 mainly uses hand drawn pixel art sprites, and it looks like they have gone with the "crude upscale + retouch" approach. Makes them look like the super scale filters lots of people used on emulators back in the day.

Honestly I think original art and a solid crt filter is the way to go with old Pixel classics. But i know this is a divisive position.

I think there is a lot of Mythos surrounding "the almighty algorithm" and getting fewer views on posts containing words advertiser's don't want associated with their products.

Good tip. Many devices have built inn Midi interface capabillities. This is a good hack for those who want to use a daw or computer sequencer with midi devices as well, without a dedicated midi interface.

Virtual environments are really not viable for music production. Latency and other inconsistensies makes it a no-go.

High level Music production requires very low audio and input latency in addition to consistent and 100% accurate sound reproduction.

A virtual environment is a wildcard here that I at least would not bother trying to make work. (Not saying it can't be done, just saying it would potentially be a big headache and extremely conditioned on spesific hardware, drivers and configuration settings.)

I mean. This is probably just to cover their own asses. Since they are more likely to be held accountable or something that can be downloaded through their platform then a random mod of the internet.

Just finished my first completely improvised live set. 2 hours and 19 minutes of various chill vibes.

I have been dreaming of a setup where i could just flow live and go where the music takes me and with my newly completed Korg Volca Suitcase, i have something that can help me achieve this.

Thank you to all of you who popped in during the live session!

Nintendo is releasing a new ‘2-way stand’ for Switch Joy-Cons | VGC in c/nintendo

Or its compatible with joycons but you cannot connect them to the sides (new cons or constantly connected controls?)

The hybrid device route was so successful I doubt they will abandon it.

Evening Jam 14 - Summer Vibes - EP133, MICROMONSTA 2, Exquis. MPE performance. (youtu.be)

This one started out in my backyard, deciding I wanted to try to sample my ukulele on the EP133. It then sorta just grew into this summer track.

Setup: EP133: Ukulele sample, drums and a few other samples. Micromonsta 2: Leads, custom patches by me. Exquis: Midi controller in MPE mode controlling the MM2.

MM2 goes into the input on the EP133. Recorded directly into OBS on a Motu M2 interface. Postproduction: Slight EQ adjustments in Davinci Resolve before render.

This is my first attempt at a chiptune-type Jam. Thought you guys might like it :) Please don't be to harsh :)

While not very purists in its form, and a bit liberated from limitations of any specific 8-bit system, I tried to use samples and/or create patches true to the genre.

Evening Jam 13 - Chiptune Fun - EP133 - MicroMonsta 2 - Exquis (youtu.be)
 

This one starting out with me trying to get some retro/chiptune sounds out of the MicroMonsta 2. Then i though "hey, i bet some crunchy 8-bit drums would work great on the EP133.. then one thing led to another.. and suddenly there was a Jam :D

Micromonsta 2: Lead and performed bass. Bitimbral set to split, so i can play both parts on the Exquis. (On the last part i set it to stack and play both presets combined)

EP133 Drums, Sequenced Basslines + chip style arp in B section.

New Jam! This time its all about the retro gaming feel. Started out as me having fun making new chiptune-like presets on the MicroMonsta 2, ended up as a Jam. 😎🤖

Evening Jam 12 - First recorded jam with EP133. Featuring: Volca FM2 + Roland S1 (sampled) - YouTube (youtube.com)
 

This is my first recorded Jam with the EP133. I have really mixed feelings about the EP133. On one hand its really fun to play around with, and make cool beats, but at the same time i find the Live performance experience to be, tricky at best. It requires way to many simultaneous button presses to perform things, and there are not enough options for scene transitions. (I want an option to change on pattern end, not just bar/tick)

As such this is not an optimal Jam, as i probably would have needed more time to rehearse, and in the end i also ended up cutting out a part in the middle of the video because awkward transitions and overall performance was not interesting to listen to.

I'm not quite ready to give up on the EP133, but I think i would need some really substantial software updates to be properly useful for me, and not just something fun to goof around with.... The frustrations in live play just makes me want to put it away and pull out the Circuit Tracks. :/

This was a really fun setup. I just recently got the Intuitive Instruments Exquis and this is my first real Jam with it. The expressiveness of the Exquis combined with the nice flow working with the Circuit tracks made this setup very fun to work with.
