• I just tried adjusting my MIDI clock sync delay by setting it to the estimated ASIO latency (10.9 ms) in my setup.  http://i.imgur.com/5kjKSd1.png Sounds much better with the metronome now. I have no idea if using the ASIO latency makes sense, but…

• Ok, I'm getting a hum when plugged into my PC via USB with other powered-via-USB peripherals (like a DJ controller).  Basically, when my DJ controller and LXR are plugged into my PC, the outputs on both the DJ controller and LXR hum. When I plug my…

• More Namm 2014.  Sequencers all the rage this year...  And the new version of the M-Audio Trigger Finger "Pro" has a built-in sequencer!

• Woah! Not a big fan of the demo sounds but that form factor looks slick.

• If you wanted to do that, you might need to tie up another voice by putting a single hit (on that other voice) in position 13 and having the LFO on that other voice set to 1/4 but having it control your first voice coarse parameter. Alternatively …

• Alright, so more on automation:  If I wanted just the last 4 steps to include a really fast sweep on a particular voice for parameter "coa" from 0 to 127, what would be the best way to achieve this?  PS 140 bpm best bpm

• When recording, it detects CC messages and assigns those at the closest quantization step. So you have to actually be moving the controller for it to record anything (as opposed to setting it to some value, leaving it there and hoping that it record…

• on the LXR the atmega is the big 40 pin chip on the frontpanel pcb. It is responsible for the whole UI, display, buttons etc... you won't need a programmer if you got a full kit, but if you self source the parts you have to bringt the firmware on t…

• yeah it's funny how everybody suddenly makes drum machines again Seriously though. Can we use this thread to think about other new drum machines that have come out in the last few years? I'm curious.

• Automation in the context of the LXR is the ability to set any one parameter to a specific value at a specific step. You have 16 steps and 8 substeps per step. For each of these substeps you can choose two parameters to "automate" and what value the…

• I just tried this with five 808 samples from Nepheton VST and this SHI GO!!! Got some really weird hi-hat scissor sounds and a decent kick.  I don't really want the LXR, or the LXR II or whatever's next from Sonic Potions to be a sampler though. Th…

• I noticed a visually perceptible noise floor on my spectragraph VST when I did some quick and dirty DAW processing, but I haven't had time to rule out my recording device and other noise-generating factors in my setup. The noise was inaudible until …

• You can also roughly solder down one leg on each led to hold them in place, then melt that solder as you press each led tightly into place with your finger. It'll pop right into place... Then solder in the other leg. A-ha! That's the secret. As…

• OK I hope the Cherry love in this thread isn't getting too obnoxious. But did you know its a German company? I believe the switches are manufactured at their facility in Bayreuth. Maybe the parts could be sourced cheaper locally?

• I hope most of you are clear about the point, that the use of these switches will need a lot more space, ergo bigger PCBs, bigger enclosures and resulting out of this, a decent higher price... I'm really no expert. I don't think they're that muc…
