How can I program these kind of note bursts in this demo on the A4?

And you could look forever and still never find it

or even being able to p-lock more arp settings, lose a bit of retrig precision, but open up a “buttload” more oppurtunity(being able to turn it on and off, speed, octave range) sooooo cooooool

You can use the OT’s arp on the A4 if that option is open to you, but I completely agree - if Elektron ever announced an update with a p-lockable arp, that would be the best day since conditional trigs.

Yeah, I’ve done it from the OT to the MnM(back when I owned it). Can you IMAGINE conditional arp retrigs on the A4?! Analog Glitch Heaven!

So you’re not sure about this ?
Easy on the Ot.
Impossible to p-lock Arp Speed in A4 ?

No idea how to do this without trying it hands on. Dunno if I’d have any luck tho. Def sounds more like OT territory. Guess could maybe get some similar stuff by messing with the Delay speed/mix on A4/AK? The demo sounds glitchier than how I imagine that method would work out tho…

It seems counter intuitive to try to sell a sound pack by polluting the demos with other gear

Slightly OT, but the sound pack sounds interesting…anyone got it, and how do you find it?

I have it, tried to find the sound preset used. There are some glitchy quick percussions in there that sound like this but i could not figure out how they made it run so fast in short space of time.

Yep. WIth Arp it can be fast but the short times are varying, as if you would modulate Arp or Retrig (OT).

this could just be a short looping sample in the AR, with the end point modulated by LFO, imo.

Edit: no wait, it says this is A4. In that case I think this is LFO 1 with the SAW or EXPONENTIAL waveform modulating something like amp volume or oscillator volume. Amp envelope is open/not used, so it’s like a drone, but the LFO chops it up. Second LFO modulates the speed or multiplier of the first LFO.

Surely possible in AR too.
The attack of Retrigged sounds is very sharp.
With Lfos ?

FM speed LFO set with TRIG and fast decay ?

EDIT : no way, this sounds so much like MD/OT retrig, can’t believe it’s A4

Could be done with an LFO controlling the amp/osc volume (like Void wrote), or by simply using the delay as a stutter effect. Sounds more like the former however. Haven’t peeked into the sound pack myself, but the pattern should be in there for the curious.

How would one use the delay to glitch like that?

Very short delay time, medium feedback.

I had interesting results with lfo (saw) on pitch / filter and Multiply p-lock.
I still think it is not made with A4, because we can hear claps, which are difficult to obtain with A4.

Ok actually now I think it can be done with A4.
As Void and Simon mentioned, for the exemple above, it works well with Exp or Saw Lfo1 on Osc 1 Lev, modifying Lfo1 Mul with Rdm Lfo2 and Hold.
High Osc values.

We can have interesting claps reducing noise S&H (kind of bit reduction ?).

Can you elaborate on that? I’ve been trying it and can’t get it to retrigger a kick patch. What kind of values are using for the LFOs speed and LFO2’s multiplier?

Check that thread first. I didn’t practice a lot since. :wink:
