Down In Wax

 

 

 

Set up the little mod case with the Squid, Grids, Pico DSP and Pip slope so I can mess around with it on the sofa. The Pico DSP is ok (esp the Leslie amp and overdrive) but the Ruina Versio blows it out of the water. Unfortunately, not enough space in the little case for the Ruina.   Worked my way through most of the parameters etc on the squid. it’s actually very simple. It’s very easy to get great sounding breaks out of it. Next is working out complex arrangements of the simple functions, like granular loopers and complex chained CV envelopes.  Once you have the breaks you can re-sample them then mangle etc with either the Squid or the Digitakt. Sweet. The filing system will take a bit of work. First thing is to find a way to batch process samples to -3db, 16bit, 44k. Then throw them in the pool folder and build up kits sample by sample?

Today I worked out how to save Sounds [export sound in the pattern menu] and how to copy and paste sounds [track + copy, switch track and then: track+paste]. These functions combined allow me to set up presets for using the digitakt as a poly synth.
