There is no 'glide' in the LXR, and it's a difficult thing to fake with automation. It's also something that isn't likely to be added soon since there is precious little space for more parameters as things are now. However, personally, I have a wa…

Hi! Just to check in after some back and forth with theandru - I have a 'proof of concept' firmware (based on my custom one) that forces the oscillator to not reset on retriggers. It only works on drum sounds - and keep in mind that there may be sev…
-
it's on my to-do list!
-
There's a lot stacked on the buttons in voice menu. The easiest thing might be to hook up a midi keyboard or pad controller.
-
I have noticed this, too, but I have never been able to pin it down to something specific. Can someone post steps (from a clean card with only stock firmware) to reproduce this? I will work on this if that can be done.
-
ok, I just tried a fix on the roll-quantize. Try the new version from my website or custom-develop-testmacro from github. A couple of points - I changed the way the rolls work so that the roll is continuous across multiple bars. In the stock firmwa…

yeah I noticed this too, it does it only when you're changing from the encoder. The code only stops incrementing AT 255, it doesn't check that the current value + increment might be greater, so the uint8_t for morph overflows if you've turned the en…

Ok thank you, I'm going to test the pattern scaling function tonight For me is not still clear what you mean when you wrote "make one or two multi-bar patterns for a track". In your video, the sequence go on slowly..I think bpm is low, so you usua…

Glad you're finding it useful Another handy thing I added to the sequencer automation that you might find fun is setting step velocity to 0 for "no retrigger" automation - you can have a single sound change as it plays without re-triggering the env…

Yes, you can certainly set up different lengths for polyrhythms, there isn't a right or wrong way to use any of these features, but what I usually do is set up some base patterns and copy them, and then create variations by changing a couple drum pa…
-
Thanks for the appreciation! Yeah, it's become pretty indispensible for me, too. I tend to make one or two multi-bar patterns for a track and then use the rest of the 8 patterns for things like fills and variation, and switch between them on the fl…
-
cool, glad to hear that's working I vaguely remember some midi cc weirdness being one of the motivations for changing the MIDI layout in my custom firmware. As far as the stock firmware goes, there isn't any MIDI implementation for morph - it can …
-
I don't work with a DAW, but I don't have any problem sending CC from my octatrack. Things to check: - USB MIDI vs. the MIDI DIN jacks - MIDI input filter is set to something with 'C' or 'all' - The LXR's global channel is set to the same one cubase…
-
sounds good! There's lots of cheap mangly guitar pedals too that play nice with the LXR, if you want to go that route. Hope you enjoy the firmware! let me know what you think, and remember - the MIDI CC assignments are different, if you do a lot of …
-
I switched to the original firmware and realized that presets saves as "all" with your firmware connot be loaded by the original firmware. Bad luck! The master channel muting should be working again! Use the new firmware at brendanclarke.com/files…
-
Ok, I'll have to dig out my spare mainboard and take a look! But these jack points seem to connect directly to the ADC pins on the cortex (or, at least 2 of them do if i'm not mistaken), not to an external DAC/ADC like the audio outputs. I haven't …

Hi! Been travelling the past couple weeks, hopefully I can get back to making some more updates, sorry if I missed anyone's messages! "so i did the firmware update procedure..." As stated in my post, yes. I formatted the sd card, put it into the L…
-
hi just to chip in, if you're using my custom firmware, it should be fairly strightforward to switch between that and the 'stock' firmware. kits, patterns, etc, should largely be cross-compatible, ie you can certainly load files made in stock in my…
-
hi... I plug away at a custom firmware every once in a while... it shouldn't be difficult, but I don't have a trigger mod or anything that takes trig to test it on. if someone wants to send over a trigger mod and a TB303, I'll happily get din sync u…
-
pc messages are parsed as pattern changes (1-8). My custom firmware has an option to translate bank changes as either kit change or performance change, corresponding to the file number (0-127).
-
well, I will say I plan to eventually allow pattern length to be set by sub-step rather than main step, which combined with track scale, should allow for much more stuff like that. I will eventually get around to adding some play 'modes' for tracks …
-
There's a global setting - 'Parameter Fetch' (I forget what the abbreviation is). This is what gets called 'latch mode' elsewhere, should do it!
-
Any chance you could look into reset points for patterns with non 16 step pattern length? This would make this machine so much more dance music friendly I'm not sure what you mean by this... I think you can accomplish much the same already with t…
-
all links should be up as normal again
-
yes, down at the moment... Should be back up later today. you can get the same firmware off github - the branch is https://github.com/brendanclarke/LXR/tree/custom-develop-testmacro
-
There are currently 5 file types the LXR uses - drumkit (.snd), pattern (.pat), performance (.prf), and 'all' (.all). The '.snd' file contains parameters for all 6 voices - there isn't a file type for a single voice, what I have in my firmware are e…
-
I think coarse is quantized to half-steps of pitch also. If you change it with a mod like lfo or velocity (or the new 'macros'), the way the mods scale isn't quantized. But if you do it with the step or substep automation, it should remain quantized…
-
This is not a feature in the stock firmware, but I have a fairly stable custom firmware going that allows you to import individual voices from other kits quickly. There are no extra file types - sounds are still saved as a single kit, but it allows …
-
Glad you're enjoying it Maybe adding some 'note' params to the euklidean generator (root, chord, octaves, etc) would be interesting. I'll kick that thought around a little! The trick is more expanding the menus than anything. Also a utility to 'li…
-
Thanks yes, I'll take that into consideration and I've put 'make transpose per-pattern and save in pattern data files' on my to-do list. If what you're after is quickly editing the note data for a new pattern, you can 'write' the transpose by turn…
