CTR-AL / CTR-8 - MD SPS I MKII (Non UW)

pedrogoya · 2013-12-26T02:37:28.000Z

Just tried this out, and man…what a fresh tweaking method and new sonic possibilities this brings to the table. I was about to sell this unit out! I was missing a lot under the hood capabilities in here. Once again, thank you for your help!

^ that video convinced me to buy a MD more than any other.

pedrogoya · 2013-12-26T16:55:51.000Z

Indeed!

That has so much sonic possibilities! I thought I was “locked” to that 12 Bit Elektron Typical soundsignature and was about to sell this machine out.

Im drooling for the UW version though…

Mine is the non UW…

That’s a hot video! These are really deep machines.

Isn’t the 12bit only for the UW?

sicijk · 2013-12-26T17:24:00.000Z

AD conversion is 12 bit

If you are not recording the p-locks of a ctrl-all - holding function+tweaking a knob does the same thing.

You can save a track this way.

Good for experimenting.

How do I clear the p-lock on a step?

When I say clear…I want it back to the original state.

Is this possible right?

No offense, but you should really study the manual. These basic features (and much more) are all explained there. Just imagine what else you’re missing It would suck to sell your unit, only to later learn that it could do much more than you knew.

pedrogoya · 2013-12-26T20:05:56.000Z

I’ve actually red the manual.
Im pretty aware of all the main functions.

Stuff like clearing a p-lock is something I KNOW that is there in the manual and it takes 10 secs to achieve that knowledge.
(I actually ask this BASIC stuff in here for 1 main reason;

Whenever you ask this basic stuff, someone with greater knowledge adds a little step up on a specific task and that won’t be available in the Manual.

The ctr-al machines was indeed something I’ve skipped. It’s in the Appendix Section so never thought of it as a VITAL function for me.

Somehow I clearly need to spend more time reading the manual. I take no offense

sicijk · 2013-12-27T06:24:34.000Z

The Appenixes in all Elektron-manual are mostly something really juicy to deal with,just because they bring you infos on what actually Machines/Fx/etc… do

Thing I found sad is that 150000 people have viewed that clip. There’s a link through to the cat’s soundcloud and his track with top hits is about 650. (Cool sounds as you might expect)

I’m guessing that the math suggests he’s probably helped sell more machinedrums than tracks.

Mmm I wonder…does that knowing laugh suggest that that was Void’s MD in the clip ?

I specifically remember watching that video before I bought my MD and thinking “WTF is that thing doing?”. For sure one of the best ever!
There is a serious shortage of in-depth videos for the MD and MnM.

nah no idea bout that laugh… I watched this video really f*** often and wanted this machine so hard, but could afford it only several years later…

TrabanT · 2013-12-28T23:24:50.000Z

thanks! page 12 also was interesting …

cant believe I am supposed to press all 16 individually rec p locked steps by hand, what if I have 64 patterns? …

now I must go to bed and dream of IDM in a box vid which nerdaudiogasms me still
