Some of you have seen all of my various postings about my issues with the DN. One of the issues I def. don’t have is enjoying the sound. In the 3 or so days I’ve had the machine, I’ve made a bunch of custom sounds that I’m really excited about. I’m really trying to justify keeping the synth and I have some questions to see if anyone can give me some advice or ideas about workarounds.

Since the DN doesn’t use kits, even if 2 patterns have the exact same sound set, any tweaks made on one won’t carry over to the next when doing a pattern chain. This is also apparent when trying to fade in a synth over 8 bars manually (2 patterns with different melodies that create 1 full part) and when it switches, the volume obviously jumps to the default. Has anyone come up with a good way to do longer live manual automation over multiple patterns?
-
Given that a DN track can’t play the same note sequentially without cutting off the note prior to it, even if it’s a soundlocked note instead, has anyone found a way around wanting to create very long uninterrupted pads that include the same note in sequential chords? My only thought is to take up 2 tracks and sequence them separately, but that’s kind of a bitch.
-
What are some tips for making sure pads will fade into each other without clicks, especially with behavior like this: Can someone explain this clicking?
-
Anyone have any ideas on how to simulate a notch or bandpass filter? I know the base width filter can kind of rock bandpass, but there’s no resonance for the high and low, so it’s pretty limited.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
