    So this causes it to completely ignore the level faders on the syntakt. Is there any way to make it be post fader? Selecting post fader in the track cancels out the option to receive per track audio :(. The only solution is to use the amp control instead on the syntakt, but this has completely messed up the levels and automations I set on the syntakt to the point of it sounding like a completely different track. Any solutions?

  • @64Sq
    @64Sq Před dnem

    Thanks for demo, but what about individual tracks for the effects from syntakt rather than them all being on the same track? Not sure if there is a fix for this?

    • @SURCOlive
      @SURCOlive Před dnem

      All of the Elektron fx are set up as send fx rather than insert fx. They all go through the same chain. The unit way to record individual tracks with fx is to mute all but the track being recorded and record the master out. That will have the fx recorded with the dry signal. This can also be a way to record individual dry tracks and only their fx as their own track to be able to parallel mix them. Thanks for watching!

    Great channel! A deep dive into the Oxi one would be awesome. The Oxi gets very cryptic the deeper you go, and the manual is equally cryptic. They've added a bunch of really cool features, but finding and actually using them (mod lanes/midi CC's/arranger work flow etc) is so non-intuitive that it can take hours to figure out each single feature. 🙂

    • @SURCOlive
      @SURCOlive Před dnem

    Compelling stuff Eric. Always really inspiring to see how you utilise your modular with other hardware. Elektron - I love my Syntakt and I'm sort of in the market for a Digitakt II though being only studio-based I'm not convinced I need it, plus I'm currently trialling Ableton (transitioning from Logic) seeing as it's Techno's DAW of choice. Given the expense it might have to be the D2 or Live... Keep the vlogs coming

    • @SURCOlive
      @SURCOlive Před 9 dny

      Glad to hear you enjoyed the stream. I really enjoy doing them and interacting with everyone. DTII is quite a machine. I've been really impressed by it. As far as Ableton and Logic... I know plenty of techno producers who use Logic, but I am for sure a fan of the Ableton workflow. Tough call between those two. Not sure which I would choose. I would say if you do Ableton, do the the full Suite version to really get the most out of it. The Max For Live add ons are really valuable. Thanks so much for watching, and I'm excited for you to keep going down this road. CHEERS!

    • @sonicindustries227
      @sonicindustries227 Před 9 dny

      Eric, thanks so much for your insights. Hm, really got me thinking re, Ableton now. Costing 2.5 times as much as Logic (in the UK) doesn't help.. See how I feel after the trial ends.. In the meantime catch you on your next vlog.

    Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge, this is absolute gold. So many useful tips! and amazing performances. A few questions: 1) Interested to know if you ever considered using the expert sleepers FH2 MIDI to CV module in combination with the OXI one? While the OXI one can produce CV by itself, the FH2 also has a few tricks up it's sleeve. For instance, it now has onboard random shift registers which make useful modulation sources (especially good with noise engineering LIP and BIA). 2) Also, do you ever intentionally use the "named" Euclidean patterns (eg son clave, cinquello, bell or tressilo) in your music? Or do you just generate Euclidean patterns using the algorithms? Loved the tip about single odd number sequences. 3) Have you ever seen any of Steevios performances - his "Primes" video on youtube is an excellent one on using these interacting odd numbered sequences - really highly recommended if you haven't.

    • @SURCOlive
      @SURCOlive Před 16 dny

      Thanks for the kind words. I'm always glad when the video are helpful to people. I haven't used the ES module, but the OXI can do quite a bit of cool modulation stuff. 8 CV and 8 Gate outputs offer a bunch. I also use the midi out from the OXI for modules that can handle it like the OXI Coral. Between that and actual modulation modules I haven't needed to do too much with midi. I have seen the Primes video. Also look out for a new album dropping from Pattrn on Initiate records that explores the same things. I got a sneak preview in his studio in Brussels a few weeks ago and it's really cool. Thanks so much for watching!

  • @DjMorningstartrancedj

    Excellent explanation, I have questions, how would you connect 2,3 synths and drum machine the simplest way

    • @SURCOlive
      @SURCOlive Před 17 dny

      It depends. If it is for clock only, they can be chained if they have the right out or through ports. If it is to control them, a midi through box would be easiest. I hope this helps. THanks for watching!
