Im thinking I might add an analog rhythm, but does that make sense? They have one at discount in Netherlands…

Does it make sense to add an drum machine alongside TV?

It doesn’t not make sense :slight_smile:

In my mind, yes. Can’t wait to pair it with a Syntakt to get some analog flavor and free up some TV tracks

On the other hand could be amazing to mangle/fxs/plock/route the drums internally on TV, as you surely get a finer control vs. having one or two drum tracks coming into the analog inputs.

YES

The AR is a beast and you will be astonished at how flexible the sound engines are. The performance controls and slide trigs offer many possibilities that are not available on the TV, so they will complement each other nicely. You also have very fine effect control and tasty analog filtering/distortion and a very aggressive compressor.

Digitone 2 would be my recommendation. You’ve got FM/VA/Drums synthesis/basic wave table function all in one box and sound wise they sit sweetly together.

Tonverk is so fucking good at drums as it is you don’t necessarily need your companion to be a dedicated drum machine. Unless you just want that in which case, game on!

That’s my setup and In love it. I’ll soon add a Neuzeit Drop to control this 2 boxes.

I can confirm Drop is an excellent choice

Yes thank you, I’ve seen that on the presentation video

How exactly are you sampling the matriarch into the tonverk?

Hi, it’s fairly straight forward. The Matriarch is connected to the TV via MIDI DIN and I just use the auto sampling feature on the TV making adjustments when needed. When making patches for the Matriarch, I’m mindful that it’s going into the TV so I account for how it’ll translate tonally in a more than 4 voice polyphonic setting. The Matriarch can be too powerful sometimes so don’t be hesitant to reduce the number of OSCs in your patch.

I have my MS-20 clone hooked up to the TV and it’s amazing. Knobby analog goodness combined with the TV sequencer plus all those FX.

Could also use the TV’s fx loop to run stuff through the MS-20’s filter, but I haven’t tried that yet

Also my current set up and I agree wholeheartedly.

Theres a TEO-5 contributing too just because I love Oberheim but 99% is from those two. I think about other purchases and look at gear but have no urge to buy because I’ve no idea what I would add to them to make it a better set up.

I’m only one DN2 away from your setup (including the speakers) :slight_smile:

If I had more space I’d probably made a different decision about monitors, but in this form factor they are great! Currently eyeing the new IK sub to better compliment them than my cheap, former hifi derived one.

Still not sure between DNII and ST as the better TV companion tho, but happy to have both to see where it’ll end up
