Yeah this was what I was thinking as well. Little bit of delay and nobody will notice. Easy Peasy

Youād be surprised. I donāt think that is a multi take recording. With zoom, distance and proper placement you can do a lot of this stuff without cameras showing up on screen.
It was a nice little video I think but way too short to call it a live performancec
Really looking forward to see how far I can take this thing in a live performance just improvising all the way. Donāt think Iāll be using multiple patterns a lot. Anybody here already trying that ?

Not quite totally improvising, but Iām firmly in the dub style production with live arrangement so somewhat adjacent. Maybe in the future once Iāve got the machine down Iāll start with a blank slate.

Iām 100% feeling this. I am kinda happy that sync isnāt completely sortedāitās forced me into live programming and working the faders. And itās a blast. And sounds great. I feel like my approach with this machine will be to live-take it. Then maybe later overdub some live-tweaked synth sequences.

Probably not possible, but I wish it was easier to switch between internal sync and MIDI. For example on an SP1200 you press sync and a number and itās done. On the TR1000 you have to open the menu and then select and then it asks if you want to save the changes.
The reason this can matter is if you are syncing to the DAW, if you are in Inst Play mode, hitting 1-10 does not seem to trigger any sounds. So you have to switch to internal to do this. This is nice if you are designing sounds and donāt want the sequencer to play over and over when synced to the DAW.
Switching back and forth with the sync can be a bit of a PITA, but maybe I am not doing this in the most optimal way.
yea so i think i ran into this issue when playing around with plocks
it really does feel like a bug
That manual is garbage. Itās 30 pages of English and the rest is different languages. Itās basically a quick start manual and doesnāt cover most of the features (snapshot, cycling, the list goes onā¦) The other manual online is much more detailed and they should have included that.

you have to find the reference manual
not exactly why but they do have things split into two manuals
Edit: Itās actually three manuals
Owners Manual
Reference Manual
Midi Implementation Manual

For sound plocks, you have to plock the trig after back to no offset. Plocked sound offsets are persistent, unlike in elektron world.
The microtiming parameter doesnāt seem to work like that, just the sound ones? I thinkā¦ā¦!

Also worth noting even the reference manual is not complete, sound and FX parameters as well as some other settings are not detailed. Roland promise an update with it all in.
Maybe theyāll fix also some of the the wrong stuff, like saying that variations always play in sequence, even if they are not chained.

oh interesting, so since its an offset, you always have to offset back?
I guess i get that, but it sounds like the long way of doing things
Just different to elektron I think. It sort of makes more sense if you are not already used to the elektron way. But I like how they work on elektron slightly better.

i am curious about the acb ācircuit modā stuff. i just heard a little snipped in a promo video once where the sound got kind of degraded in a interesting way. is here anyone playing around with it and likes to share their opinion and maybe some sound examples?
Hi all. I fed the user manual, reference manual and the transcript from the youtube deep dive into ChatGPT and made this instruction agent. Seems to be working well, even giving suggestions. Iāve asked it how to do tempo automations, how to use the morph fade to simulate tempo changes, a few other things and it seems pretty spot on.
Disclaimer: Iām actully not a fan of AI answers but this model doesnāt reference anything but the user manual, reference manual and deep dive transcript. No internet references.
Have fun and hope you get some use out of it.

Here is one where itās blank other than asking how to make a blank kit (which was a pain in the assā¦ maybe I missed it but there should be a blank kit in there already)

I tried the āinitialize kitā but I coulnāt get it to workā¦ user error Iām sure 
Does anyone else find the long start-up time annoying? It takes my unit 45 seconds to fully boot up.

Any of you all figure out how to get clean loops on samples of pads and sustained sounds?
I believe itās the same as the 404 - you turn on zero point cross to get rid of click and set your looping points to ear

I think it just took me a while to wrap my head around the difference between generator-based sounds and instruments. An instrument is built off a generator, but with amp, filter, compressor, LFO, and fx settings already pre-set, plus knob assignments. Whereas a generator-based sound is a sound source without any of those parameters already pre-set.
Granted, many of those generators are ACB, samples, or PCM sounds, most of which technically had filter and amp (and sometimes fx) settings already baked in.
There are 331 factory instruments
There are 3120 factory generator-based sounds
Itās kind of confusing because on the TR-8S, everything was an instrument.
