Nice. Where did you get the overlay from ? I’m considering getting a BCR and a BCF

Here’s a link. Thing is it says €100 shipping to the UK so I got a friend in Germany to buy it for me last night and send as a Christmas card lol

As luck would have it (latest purchase above) I now have spare MIDI ports, partly with this purpose in mind! I’ve got a MIDI to USB B cable but Particle is micro USB (or C) so I need an adapter?
I’m actually not sure about how it works using the usb, maybe you’ll need a host for that.
You can use the ctrl input (used for expression pedal and switchers) with TRS MIDI selecting it in the web editor.
At least that’s how it works for Tensor, but i’d guess is not that different with other pedals.

The Particle 2 manual doesn’t explicitly state MIDI for the ctrl jack, but you’re right it would be surprising if it’s different! This article supports that I think too. Maybe I’ll get one of the Strymon cables.

That looks nice. Are you using the OP-Z to sequence with the opab? I’ve been debating a similar setup, a 42HP lunchbox with the bitbox micro and a couple of other things. Looking forward to hearing what you make!

Finally grabbed an old friend back in as new condition. Iv’e missed this since I sold it in 2003
YAMAHA RM1x
Intentions: I remember these having a rock solid midi timing and be able to control other gear. I didn’t use the internal sounds much however I think I’ll be sampling this a lot in to my MPCX.
Looking forward to some couch jamming on this thing too. I do remember the drum kits were very good on this thing. Can’t wait to get it

Nice. I was watching this but forgot to bid. Does look super clean.

I did a deal for under £300 on Reverb. Just paid for it the guy was super nice too. He describes it as basically new. I’m looking forward to getting some old gear back from the past. All this new stuff they make today doesn’t excite me at all.

The Yamaha SU700 is the groovebox sampler to get if you find one
The RM1x was so so

Iv’e owned both in the past both are good IMO… I’m just collecting old stuff I used to own. I’m living in the past but they made better gear back then so I’m happy about my purchases for sure. This will make a good sound source for making samples etc on the MPCX

The UCX II great unit, rock solid drivers, excellent conversion and 40 channel recorder to USB media ( external ssd, MicroSd, etc)
Virus TI2 , SP16 , MPC One. Virus doubles as external effects unit via spdif. Routing through RME TotalFx software.

SQ-1 is great. I love how immediate and simple it is to use with modular and other gear. Let’s me get a good bass or acid squelchy pattern going quickly.
Dreadbox Kinematic
Was a hint in the thread “Most PUNCHY Drum Machine” and bought via a Black Friday sale here in Europe (@ Muziker).
(and I have no intentions, just messing around)

Same here (both in the studio and live). They also show diagnostic information about the power they receive.

I just traded my SU-700 for a couple of Boss guitar pedals. I had no space for it and MPC Live does everything better. RM1X I have fond memories of. I’d be tempted to buy one if I didn’t already have my QY-700.
Yes the SU700 was not easy and not super intuitive
But i remember you could do amazing things with the effects which were a lot and the polyphony was 64 notes never seen something like this on a sampler maybe on an EMU XT
I sold it for the same reason, very big and bulky
