Soon :slight_smile: Also patch naming.

My LFO + WAV buttons are fine! But after 2 sessions, the LFO 2 PW fader started to act as if it was moving, the data for the knob on screen was glitching in an upward direction consistently. I put in a ticket for a return but Juno is out of stock! I wonder if this could be a firmware fix or if the hardware is broken?

Yes. Thank you. Iā€™ve asked the same question via email on the Dreadbox website. I guess itā€™s faster via Elektronauts. :rofl:

If they are not going to give patch names at least give us categories. My patches are also all over the place as Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m saving over an init patch or one of mine.

Yes had the same issue but it seemed to start work normally after using it for a couple of days.

My bad I see Alexandros from Dreadbox has already said patch naming coming. Great to hear.

Had a wee shot of it today, well it was meant to be a wee shot, and 4 hours later thought I better get around to cutting the grass! Really enjoying it but finding the envelopes a bit clicky with a short decay and fast attack, more so than my other synths.

As weā€™re already talking about the patches: can you just wipe it clean and put an init patch in every patch? That you can then save over once youā€™ve made a nice patch? I canā€™t say I liked the presets from demos (as usually), and that seems to be a synth were you better just start filling up banks in each session.

Thatā€™s what I mentioned in the video notes, the EGs are nothing alike, I couldnā€™t match the Murmux settings. I havenā€™t tried the other way around though. The mixer is also very different. Murmux adds volume with 2 oscs and Artemis drops volume with 2 to attempt a compensation/match. There is no off position to be able to play the resonance. I need to try the different drive settings but first try seemed that it wouldnā€™t track well anyway, it has a dirtier sound at high resonance. Definitely a different filter chip. Artemis filter has much better bass compensation with resonance. I guess you canā€™t have both qualities in one filter.

Ohh interesting I didnā€™t click through so didnā€™t see the video notes, my bad! Thatā€™s fascinating, thanks for the rundown!

Really loving the physical UI ā€” the size and faders feel spot on for jamming. The menuā€™s a bit rough around the edges but Iā€™m happy to wait. Just a few little quality-of-life tweaks Iā€™d love to see:

  • The LFO wav buttons LED could flash in sync LFO speed to see the pulse. Immediately knowing what the LFO was going when loading a patch.
  • A modmatrix similar to Typhon to visualise the modulation assignments.
  • A Panel mode shortcut, so all knobs reflect their current position. - The VCA button with three settings could have its state saved with each patch.
  • Menu could have ā€˜Personalizeā€™ section, like Digitakt II, to turn on off features to suit everyones UI needs or use cases.
  • Key tracking for LFO rate.
  • Pattern Names
  • Random Mod Source in menu like Take 5, so it doesnā€™t waste an LFO to assign.
  • 6 x dots on the screen UI, when looking at a patch name, to show voices playing.
  • Highlight the saved preset knob position. Next to the current value with a number.
  • Fade on LFO 2 (would have to be in menu) - LFO repeat amount, like novation peak.

Can anyone tell me about these buttons for the LFOs.

For the 2 wav buttons and the sync button when I press them they light up when cycling through the options and then the LEDs are off after pressing them. But if I press and hold a button for a couple of seconds the LED will stay lit. And they stay lit even after changing presets. Is this doing something? I did not see anything in the manual about it.

236

Am i missing something as well? there isnt very much modulation option for the LFOā€™s. I mean i read the manual. There is nothing in the menu i missed?

All in all it seems like a great synth and im super excited to get some time off to make more patches. Sounds great!

Confirmed in the soncistate video that theyā€™ll be bringing MIDI CC in and out in about a month - yes!

Quick video of a raw pad sound, no internal or external fx used.

In case anyone else was curious about this, here is the response I received from Dreadbox.

ā€œ These buttons are not meant to held down thatā€™s why it is not mentioned in the manual.

I will pass it to our developers but please use it as intended.ā€
