It’s def got heart in it. Can’t learn that

Thanks a lot, George. That is very encouraging.

Thanks so much for the kind words. The piano chords (and most of the samples actually) came from an older DnB sample pack called "Skyline." It has a focus on melodic, atmospheric and liquid Drum and Bass sounds. If you'd like to hear more M:S work, I have a lot of videos using it including a full DnB set as well as a full downtempo set made with this device. Both are here on my channel in my elektron playlist. Let me know if you have questions about using it and I'll definitely be happy to answer those too.

Thank you so much.

Thanks a lot! 😊

It'll be fine for holding a bunch of breaks. There's a limit to how long a sample can be (32 seconds maybe? I forget) and a limit to how many slots you can have in a project but you can have a whole bunch of projects and it's more than adequate to have a ton of different tracks worth of audio data on this thing. Not even comparable to the KO in terms of storage capacity. The KO is like 1 track at a time. You can have numerous albums worth of songs on this device and if you run out, just put in a new SD card and keep going.

@@MattGreerMusic Thank you, I really appreciate this feedback. Love how the Tracks is so intuitive, so the Rhythm seems like a no brainer. Just weighing up my needs for the next aquisition… (more midi channels, more effects, more sample space) 😊✌️ cheers mate

I think the Rhythm is the best sampler in this price tier.

Hey there. Thanks a lot. I did not use any built in samples for this track. I tend to do best when I seek my samples specifically for the project and with a sound in mind. Anyways, I am not 100% sure about being able to use different scales on different scenes but I believe you can. The reason I say that is I'm always sampling melodic sounds for their timbre but they can often be out of key with the track so I'm always trying different keys and scales to make that new sample work with the composition and I do that all the time so I *believe* that the scale is set as a parameter to the sample and could thus be different between different scenes and sounds. I know that when I choose a new scale, it doesn't change the note content of the other sounds so they seem to be independently programmable. Thanks again for watching.

Any USB cable with the appropriate connections will work. So it can be a USB lightning cable to USB B or you can incorporate adapters to modify the connections.

Thank you so much

Yes it is but you only get one effect per project so it will have to be the same effect you are using on the beat.

I really appreciate that. Can't believe I posted this almost 4 years ago.

@@MattGreerMusic I really appreciate you still being active! Not enough people have videos out there on DnB/jungle stuff on the pocket operators, this is truly a gem!

I hear ya. This is one of 8 Elektron instruments I own. I may not immediately pick up on a sample based one like the Digitakt or model samples but something like the monomachine, Digitone or this, I can spot immediately. Thanks for listening.

Thanks!

That's an excellent observation. Good idea.

Over the years I've gotten better at identifying the "lost causes" earlier in the process and scrapping them but occasionally one still makes it to the end.

A bit heavy handed here. I am not a mindless consumer and I have been able to make some really nice tracks with this device as I've had it for years and have used it many many times. I make a ton of music and not everything I record gets put out there but we can still learn from those experiences. That's the point of this video.

What an odd thing to say, @assasinofpapers

Soulless for sure.

No, it's not and I own three MPCs. Each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Mine likes to spontaneously dump all the note data out of one or more of the tracks while muting/playing with the live effects. And because it "saves as it goes" there seems to be no way to recover it once it's gone. It's infuriating.

@@MattGreerMusic So annoying dude. If this thing actually worked it would be fun. I want to break it in half. In the last hour I’ve deleted 3 projects because every fucking time whatever sample I use gets cut off after 1-2 seconds. Latest firmware and I only have about 20mb on it. Unusable.

@@MyNameJeff.. Even with no other sample or sound playing it still cuts off the sample?

@@MattGreerMusic So, here’s whats happening- Group A I’ll have my kick, snare, hihat, I’ll lay a basic beat… Then group B I will sample from splice or Spotify, a 10 second sample give or take, enough for 4 bars. Then if I try to add an open hihat in group b, the sample from group B will only play for 1 bar… And I listened to see if the open hihat was possibly choking the sample from group B, but it’s not. This happens on anything I’m trying to make, even after a factory reset. Maddening.

That sounds more like a voice stealing issue. Are the one shots for your drums set to "choke/mute" each other in the same mute groups? This thing doesn't have much polyphony.

That's an interesting idea. Sadly I deleted these samples off of the PO a long time ago but I could do a new tutorial based on Trip Hop as the intended genre.

@@MattGreerMusic that would be soooo cool, I recently bought one for myself, and I really want to figure it out

@@velartt Congrats. It's a great device. Punches way above its weight.

My biggest gripe with the sequencer is that it doesn't loop but it's awesome for a sound/fx processor.

@@MattGreerMusic Sorry, I was referring to the step modulator. it has different modes including measure, song play, step or loop. I like the measure one alot cuz it'll trigger at each bar which can create some cool effects with off-time stuff.
