How?
How what?
How could you replace that Push thing with the Faderport?
A genuine question⌠I sold off my Push a while ago and iâm also looking for an alternative⌠But the Faderport looks proper minimal in comparison. Does it just control 1 track at a time?
Had my eye on the Faderfox jobbie but it looks a bit âsquashedâ
You replied to yourself there dude!
Basically I was using the push 2 as a very expensive, albeit very nice, transport controller. I donât finger drum and prefer a keyboard.
What I was missing, was faders. Mixing on the push encoders wasnât doing it for me.
I went through a whole heap of different controller ideas (see here Push 2 alternative), and finally decided to give the faderport a go as I was getting fatigued with looking for the unicorn.
Itâs been a few days and itâs impressed me enough so far. Build wise, itâs actually very nice and not plasticy, the fader motor is as close to silent as youâre going to get, and the MCU functionality is as youâd expect.
It does one track at a time, and it does look minimal, but each button appears to have a function (and obviously could be repurposed via midi mapping If needed)
It fits nicely between a OT Mk2 and a Rytm, and has a slanted design that helps with wrist support
I do it all the time⌠it runs in the family.
reckon ill pick up a launch control XL
Wow! Didnt know this even existed. Checks alot of boxes for live vox for sure
Let us know how you getting along with it
sheâs awesome. and not to forget Paul Mc Cartney
Just got these twoâŚ
1987 MusicMan Sabre I got in a trade and a restored 1967 Hofner 500/1 that was a gift. The Hofner records so wellâŚvery happy
Digitone. Thought of it as an upgrade from Volca FM, which is also a great device. Iâve been a happy user of AR MK2 for a year, and the idea of implementing the Elektron workflow to sequencing FM parameters made me pull the trigger. Super excited! There are many new songs to be discovered in this little box.
Just bought a Korg SQ-1. Hoping to have some fun with it and my M32/DFAM setup, just for a change in how I sequence things.
I havenât gone beyond the presets or used the software editor yet, but the amount of editing options looks pretty extensive, and the quality of the effects is on par with the other 500 pedals. And yes, it makes an excellent vox!
Was thinking of picking up a Minilogue XD for pad duties but reading the SOS review of the original Minilogue reminded me of how good the MS2000 was (the Jexus review helped as well). A quick scan of Gumtree revealed a MS2000B less than 10 minutes away for $400AUD which I duly picked up. Such an easy to use synth, with p-lock style sequencing of all parameters (including wavetables). Has a vocoder too.
Bought a TB-03 on 303 day, because Iâm that sort of idiot. I intend to make electronic music with it.
Had my eye on one for ages, but the Elektron 3.03 playlist made me do it, officer. It was all fun and games (Beat Dis!) until Black Sea by Drexciya came on.
Also picked up a Focusrite OctoPre MKII last week. Pretty old model but new stock. Means I can increase the six analogue inputs on my Saffire interface to fourteen and bypass the mixer for now. (Longer term would like something like the Tascam Model 24 to record into and not use the computer at all until itâs time to mixdown.)
Tam Ellardâs reviews are always fun. Your post reminded me that Severed Heads are playing here-ish in a few months, will need to see if I can be fussed heading through to EdinburghâŚ
Wonderful!
I just bought a GE portable cassette recorder and player from a thrift shop with some various weird looking tapes. Itâs to go with my Digitakt that I bought a few weeks ago and Iâm hoping to sample on to and off of some magnetic tape
I just realised itâs a Thursday night they play so chances are Iâll miss it for the exact same reasons you mentionâŚ
Mo Ho anime studio, I want to make some weirdness with it, maybe figure out how to control it via midi
I should have waited for post number 303, huhâŚ
SoâŚclearer shot of the rack/shelf i ordered. Made by Audiorax. Build is awesome. Packing was super good. Takes a while for them to make them. But worth the wait. 4-6 weeks.
Werd of warning. The rack rail holes are not evenly spaced. They are grouped for 1U. So you cant really put 1 hole gaps for ventilation. Initially bummed, but recalled the olâ bottom row mount. If you just put screws on the bottom holes of the gear you can space the units. Totally fine for 1U stuff.
The messy deskâŚGONE!

LOTS of options.
Before shotâŚfuuuuuu, messy. [so dumb]
