Na ja, wenn man so denkt, kann man auch gleich für alles den PC verwenden.
Ich bin jedenfalls gespannt und gleichzeitig sicher, daß gerade das W/ ein Modul sein wird, welches durch "Unfälle", oder "Zufälle" schöne Sachen produzieren kann. Bei sowas kommen immer sehr brauchbare Sachen heraus. Das habe ich auch schon am Just Friends beobachten können, alle Module von denen sind ja nach dieser gewissen "Philosopie" der Fa. gestrickt.
Ausserdem wüsste ich ehrlich gesagt nicht, was ich mit der 4 HP Lücke sonst anstellen könnte. Und wenn es tatsächlich nichts für mich ist, wird es eben wieder verkauft, da die W/ ja schon beim Hersteller ausverkauft sind, wäre das kein Ding...
Spätestens Di. Abend werde ich es schon grob wissen. Die paar die es auf Muffs schon haben, sind ja gleichzeitig hellauf begeistert und dann wieder nieder geschmettert, was größtenteils aber an einem brauchbaren Manual liegt. Starthief hat da schon einiges dazu nieder geschrieben, was zumindest mir, beim Einstieg enorm helfen wird:
About Izzy:
- To get the tutorial back, reboot with L+R pressed. "Play" will blink. Press it, and "record" will blink. Press record, and "loop" will blink. Press it and Izzy starts.
- She doesn't explain much, she just runs you through steps -- sometimes changing modes and then doing something else in one stage.
- Sometimes she says things like "hold down and press Play" that seem confusing at first, until you realize she means "hold the top switch down, and press the Play button".
- Several of the steps involve multiple actions. Listen to the whole thing and wait for it to loop before you jump into it -- there's one that says "stop the tape," pauses, plays a sound effect, and then tells you the rest of what you have to do.
The lights near the up/down display the mode:
Both = LIVE (they do pulse a bit while stuff is happening)
Yellow = NAV
White = CUE
Blinking Slowly = GLOBAL
Lights near LOOP:
Crossfades from yellow to white to show the relative position within the loop.
Lights near PLAY:
Shows the play direction (yellow = reverse, white = forward).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looping delay:
1. Go into live mode (playing).
2. Make sure looping is turned OFF.
3. Make sure you have a sound source connected.
4. Hit RECORD + DOWN (this overwrites any junk that might have been on the tape).
5. Push DOWN to start a loop point... wait for however long you want the tape loop delay to be, and push UP.
6. Plug in a negative voltage offset from a controller into THAT.
7. Hit RECORD. Play stuff into the input.
8. Adjust your offset to adjust the wet/dry and "feedback" in your loop -- the lower the voltage, the more of the recorded audio will be removed on each pass; at 0V it just stacks everything.
9. If you want to, patch a gate into THIS to punch in and out.
Jam with that a while.
Something else to try:
10. (Optional) remove or silence your input.
11. Hit PLAY to go into Nav mode.
12. Control the tape speed and direction with your offset in THAT.
And something else (it's a sampler!)
13. Hold LOOP+RECORD to go into Cue mode.
14. Hold down PLAY to play back your loop. When you let go, it stops. When you hit it again, it resets and plays from the start of your loop.
15. You can shorten the loop by using PLAY or UP/DOWN to position the tape, and then hitting REC to add a new cue point. Try shortening it so it's just one note that can loop smoothly.
16. (optional) You can navigate to other cue points with LOOP+UP or LOOP+DOWN. Note that if you're in the midst of a loop (you just hit PLAY to preview it), the first LOOP+DOWN goes to the beginning of the loop, and the second LOOP+DOWN goes to the previous loop if there is one.
17. Plug a gate into THIS and a pitch CV into THAT. It's a sampler!
(Step 17 may be tricky if your gate has any offset at all when low... detection can be a bit weird. It's also supposed to play the loop as a one-shot with a trigger but I haven't been able to consistently make that work.)
, 6 mono tracks.
aber interessieren tut er mich trotzdem..
