besides latency, BT headphones add a little mud to the sound with data compression and processing, need charging, etc… I use them for casual listening or if it’s noisy but wired headphones or buds with a short cord just seem to make more sense for the m8.

That was cool!
Funny, I tried something similar this morning, seeing how close I could get to Octatrack style mangling of drums. Really, it was just an exercise to play around with the groove page and tables, but it turned out nice, I think 
Been using my M8 for about a week now. My commute is so much more fun! Selling my OP-1 as I just don’t feel it has enough depth and the M8 is so small I’ll always carry it with me.
One question I have is regarding sampling. Is there a limit to the length a recorded sample can be (not including sd card size)? I want to record the mix from my Bluebox so I can mangle it when I’m away from home and add it back into my final DAW project later.
Thank you! Wow this thing is a beast

Maybe addressed already, but can anyone tell me how to transfer files from and to the m8?
depends on what you are doing but generally it is just pop the micro SD card and put it into a reader on the computer and all the files are there… put stuff in takes stuff out or whatever you want. The updates though need to be done with a tytools thing for teensy over usb.

Sounds indeed as a route, thanks!
Was actualy hoping it would mount the sd when the m8 was attached to the pc, like many other devices these days, but that doesn’t seems to be it’s thing…
It’s a limitation of the teensy platform if I’m not mistaken.
If anyone wants to trade their mint M8 for a very lightly used and Mint Syntakt, lemme know!

I have both the Syntakt and M8. That’s a fun combo
Do any of the synth engines produce a decent supersaw or at least a fat detuned saw?

Use the FM synth. That’s 4 oscillators worth of (various types of) saws to detune and modulate as you wish…

The saw swarm macrosynth model - 7 saws with parameters for detune and high pass.

Small aside to anyone who doesn’t know.
I was watching an EZ Bot live stream where he had several instruments on his table. Octatrack, Digitakt, Syntakt and Digitone, all working together. Next to that he had an M8, by itself. He kept going back and forth and couldn’t make up his mind which system sounded better. They sounded slightly different, but neither was objectively ‘better’ sounding than the other. The tiny M8 just doesn’t look like it should sounds as good as it does, but it really does

The M8 continues to make me feel thick as shit sometimes but I blame myself for neglecting it a little recently.
I’m sure this should be possible but has anyone set up their M8 in a way where they are inputting notes into the sequencer from a Push 2? I’ve got the audio flowing through my Mac fine and can get sounds triggered from Push but it only seems to trigger instrument 00 even when on channel 9. Fairly certain this ia a case of me being a dipshit with something or other but I’ve learned to ask for help rather than tear my hair out and get pissed off. Plus I’m hungover and the brain isn’t functioning.
Where I’d like to get to is creating the building blocks for songs across all 8 tracks via an external controller (ideally Push in my case) and then going off and jamming/tweaking/messing about with things when I’m commuting or wanting away from the desk.
EDIT - may be answering this one myself but would I need to set an instrument per channel and switch midi channels to really do what I’m looking to achieve? I was kind of hoping I could switch tracks on the M8 and input notes that way, which is possible but always defaults to instrument 00 for me
Interested in this too - I guess it is an autochannel question for the active track…
Much more elegantly put 
There does seem to be a. Auto channel in the midi set up but it doesn’t behave how I’d expect. I think that could be because you could have dozens of instruments on any track I guess but hopefully one of the M8 experts can chime in!
