Mine just came in from sweetwater (somehow delivered today, 2 days early, even tho I’m in LA with the storm!)
It’s great for the price. Definitely not a DFAM replacement or killer. It sounds and feels different. The knobs are very stiff and hard to turn but maybe they’ll loosen up. Wish they had more grip too.
Overall I’ve just had it for 30 min so far and I’m gonna paid it with the crave. I have the mother 32/dfam combo as well, they’re just different.
Happy to have them all, but I definitely don’t think one replaces the other.
my edge arrived on tuesday, woohoo! haven’t yet had the chance for a deep dive, but the first 30-minute session was promising. i had it synced to the analog four and ran it through the external inputs for fx - recommended! will be interesting (i hope?) to see if some cv from the a4 can make it do something extra gnarly, too.
i’m confused by the midi thing tbh, so far i’m only using it to sync to ableton. haven’t yet bothered trying to do anything else - tbh even if a lot else is possible, i don’t think it would be so, so interesting. if i try it more and get answers, i’ll get back to you.
btw, this thing is SICK. i had a fun session with it the other day and accidentally made some orphx very quickly and had a blast doing so. i think with just a bit of processing and consideration, this machine can be a real monster.
i recorded one run of about 2 minutes, tweaking as i went. then took a short section and looped it, put ableton’s amp plugin on it. that’s the grinding bass/kick. then i duplicated the whole run and put a hpf and basic echo on that. no other fx or processing, it was all very, very hands-off and basic. here’s a snippet:
. I got GAS!
