Random in French is a common word :wink:
“random” maybe it’s better for this context!

I’ve had it since the beginning but it was changed the first time I used it… I was very scared… Lol
But since then (but I remind you that my use is really old school Mpc, see Octatrack in the vision and design.)
I only use 6 pads sometimes on maschine and the p/locks, (octatrack only has 8 tracks after all and yet it is my favorite equipment for building!), I use it as a module and as a groove designer .
I use it to have long live synth sequences, or other long recordings, more difficult to do on octa or less immediate, in fact I really try to use the strengths of both.
I also use it to simply load a drum or djembe kit and play!

But if I use it as one could use it on a PC, unfortunately it’s too tight.
This means bounces to avoid cracking the processor etc.
That being said, FM8 is not very demanding.
Prism on the other hand…one instance is already good!
The loopers are greedy because of the time strech in real time I suppose). It is better to bounce and sequence if we go further in the composition.
The fct morph is superb but also requires a lot of CPU if you make a long transition, but instantly it’s very good.

So no bugs and crashes if I keep that in mind.
In midi clock it’s straight in midi slave so it’s cool and rare :wink:
I have been a user since the mk1 and I have also looked elsewhere, and I am still skeptical about the philosophy of NI which now looks more like a creator of prefabricated content.
But objectively it’s quality and professional on the synth it’s even crazy for a standalone and especially for someone (like me) used to the limitations of an octatrack, digitakt etc.
Gtranslate sorry :wink:
I’m not recommending any equipment though. :wink:
