What’s your background with drumming/percussion?

I totally understand the portability appeal. Just to having something for that extra 15 minutes at work with nothing to do and ideas flowing.

Yeah, there it is. I keep a folder in iCloud to sync samples but drag and drop sounds ideal.

I have it loaded on my iPad but have never taken the time to dive in. It was good to fully get my hands dirty editing samples and tweaking the sound to what I like and not just loading the .wav on a pad and calling it a day.

How are you managing loading samples back and forth from your main computer to your Koala app?

Genuine question as someone who has not used a TE product, what is it that you like about it and the TE workflow? I just struggle with TE feeling like a design brand who happens to make instruments, but can't deny the appeal of the Pocket Operators?

 

Setting up the triggers with midi should allow me to send gates to say an Erica Synth pico drum set.

I’m wondering if anyone’s given this a try and how did it work out for you? I feel like I could just play something in way faster than programming.

So yeah, anyone literally tracking in drums with your synths using midi from an electronic kit?

What got me thinking about this was watching this video from Drumeo featuring II from Sleep Token. Worth the watch if you are into drumming and percussion.

At the same, does “painting our selfs into a corner” loose having true ending to stories?

Constraints and limitations drive creativity, but you have accept a final product at some point and move to another universe/story.

Can I ask how do record each part individually and then layer everything and if so how do you normally work through it all in your head?

So far just have the software version. Told myself I needed to master the software and navigating the hardware before buying the standalone Maschine+.

For perspective, I’m barely over “what even is a splice, I just want to play clips” level of Maschine understanding.

So it is 100% me and not knowing how to sequence it with the Beatstep. I moved it to the office and hooked it up to Maschine. Ran some midi clips through and it sounded fantastic.

Having it plugged into a PC, the built in tuners are a godsend as well.

I think the issue is I just haven’t figured out how to interact with it yet. I won’t fault the instrument.

I’ve been practicing letting those wow moments go and just appreciate that I experienced them. Very meditative for me personally.

Honestly I just signed up for Melodics to learn finger drumming. I’ve played drums for so long I had to talk myself of getting an electronic drum set to just track drums fully.

I’m glad the guy I bought the neutron from threw in the skin and a deck saver. The red is.. a bit much.

How do you like your neutron? I’m having a very hard time finding its “voice”, it just clashes against the other synths.

Made a place to jam and have fun while I learn piano and finger drumming in the office. Separating learning from playing has been awesome to have.

Edit: I promise I’ll post the music that I make here! Pictures are good, but I need to back it up with music.

 

So I just went a little crazy and bought a few hardware synths. Every single day since I have jammed after work as a meditative exercise. And some of this shit is sick (to me).

I’d like to be able to capture some of these jams. I have a Zoom F3 for recording, and I understand the entire recording process. My question is if anyone is out there jamming with synths, how do you grab snippets worth sharing and then putting that out into the community?

(I know the sub seems dead, but hey.. who knows)

 

Every story gets interpreted individually, so what parts of the games storytelling are resonating with you?

Something I found interesting about my play through a quest lead me to commit some corporate espionage. During one of the last missions everything went tits up but I made a distinct choice to remain non lethal. While I truly hated working for a corp (really hoping there was a path to destroy from within) I loved how the game at least at a minimum allowed me to interject my own morals into my character.

Situationally though, I did go and slaughter a few mines worth of people but I can head cannon that into my ethics no prob.

Just as an open discussion, I’m curious if other people are having those moments of thought or personal reflection.

 

Like how cool is it going to be if you could install a mod adding an entire new ship line someone in the community created.

I really look forward to seeing how mods are going to be developed for this game.

 

When scrolling through the main feed eventually I will hit a point where it’s roughly the same 20 or so posts on repeat. The posts might not be in the exact same order and new content will be mixed in.

In Apollo it would eventually hit “the bottom” of the feed and it wouldn’t go any further. This feels like the app is fetching the next posts but without a full page of results it's returning the same posts again and again.

Anyone else seeing this?

 
 

Would anyone believe you? 🧐

 

So I’m really starting to consider starting a few small communities just to help grow the communities. I have never moderated anything and I am just curious on what to expect. Things such as tools to use or things to look out for?
