To activate this, you need to turn on MIDI Change in M+, which lets you control scenes, sections or locks using notes or program changes. For a nice step by step description search "MIDI change" in the manual (it's section 13.1). I mapped the notes manually in a custom Launchpad template to make it match the colors and arrangement of scenes on M+, so that it would be easy to use and remember.TIMELINE:0:00 Intro1:30 Need brains!4:10 Plugin limits5:35 This setup6:35 MIDI, audio7:45 Controllers9:40 The project10:25 Massive12:40 Samples13:10 Macros14:45 Scenes16:00 Locks18:30 Pros, cons22:35 OutroSubmit review and video ideas here (sorry I don’t offer 1x1 sessions/setup/purchasing advice): ► Ziv (at) loopopmusic.com NOTE: Occasionally I’ll try out affiliate marketing and include affiliate links.

KS37 is only either/or on the arpeggiator/sequencer- 8 Pads, joystick, physical mod/strip controls transport for DAW control (KS37's transport is just for the internal arp/sequencer- Screen allows for easier customization and operation- DAW integration- 8 physical encoders as opposed to 4 knobs (though there are 4 banks on KS37 for a total of 16 parameters)- Note Repeat mode for the padsOther places I hang out:► Instagram: instagram.com/loopopmusic► Tiktok: tiktok.com/@loopopmusic► Facebook: facebook.com/loopopmusic► Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/loopopmusic► Web: loopopmusic.comMy music:► Bandcamp: loopop.bandcamp.com► Spotify: http://bit.ly/LoopopOnSpotify► Apple Music: http://bit.ly/LoopopOnAppleMusicTIMELINE:0:00 Intro1:35 This setup4:00 The hardware4:45 Pads6:00 Encoders6:25 Keybed7:00 Connectivity7:50 Arpeggiator10:05 Sequencing11:40 Step seq12:30 TR-style seq13:55 Live rec15:00 Ties15:45 Transpose16:15 Scales, chords17:30 Note repeat17:50 Configurability18:50 Programs19:35 Editor20:20 MPC Beats21:20 Ableton Live22:00 Pros & cons24:15 Outro jamSubmit review and video ideas here (sorry I don’t offer 1x1 sessions/setup/purchasing advice): ► Ziv (at) loopopmusic.com NOTE: Occasionally I’ll try out affiliate marketing and include affiliate links.

It outputs a sine wave at the frequency of the main melody. It doesn't play the additional notes if you play chords, and the only waveform is a sine wave. Hopefully, they add more functionality there in a future firmware update!INTRO SETUP:A word about the setup in the intro: Misha isn’t connected to Vector Wave directly. For the intro/outro jam, I ran midi out from Misha to my computer so I could render the laser notes shooting out the module, and I then sent Misha’s midi to an arp plugin on my computer, and then finally to Vector Wave via its midi input the front panel.Other places I hang out:► Instagram: instagram.com/loopopmusic► Tiktok: tiktok.com/@loopopmusic► Facebook: facebook.com/loopopmusic► Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/loopopmusic► Web: loopopmusic.comMy music:► Bandcamp: loopop.bandcamp.com► Spotify: http://bit.ly/LoopopOnSpotify► Apple Music: http://bit.ly/LoopopOnAppleMusicTIMELINE:0:00 Intro1:20 Intervals3:50 Controls6:15 Modes6:45 Connectivity8:25 Chords10:35 Sequencing10:55 Tone rows12:30 Auto play12:50 Play options13:30 Button mods15:40 Tone row as scale17:10 Temp shift17:50 Int. sequences19:45 Misha & MIDI21:45 Black key maps23:25 Raga 3 jam24:10 Scale swaps24:30 MIDI mapping25:20 CV mapping26:00 Presets27:05 Pros & cons30:00 OutroSubmit review and video ideas here (sorry I don’t offer 1x1 sessions/setup/purchasing advice): ► Ziv (at) loopopmusic.com NOTE: Occasionally I’ll try out affiliate marketing and include affiliate links.

monome norns review // community soul in a music computer // 10 scripts explored loopop 2021-08-26 | IMPORTANT - A recap of the versions of norns:(1) The $800 fully built stock norns by monome, plug and play, aluminum enclosure, white screen, more audio IO, no ethernet - not currently in stock as of the writing of this comment (2) The updated norns shield reworked to solve noise issues on the input - sold for $280 directly by monome - yellow screen - easy to assemble, no soldering, but you'll need to buy a raspberry pi model 3b+, sd card, USB cable and 2A+ power supply separately(3) The full DIY version - monome does not sell this, you have to source all of the parts yourself including the PCB and enclosure, and solder it together yourself or with the help of a builder - you choose the screen color - yellow or white. IMPORTANT: if the PCB you buy says "191106" on it (November 2019) like the one in the video, it's the open-source OLD version, before the input noise re-work - PCB should be at least 210330 (March 2021) when monome open sources it - not currently available as of the making of this video (4) The DIY "Fates" version - not sold or supported by monome - also fully DIY, no longer offered by the original designer, not part of the officially supported firmware (a "fork") so there's some risk to it not being supported in the future, source the parts and solder yourself or have a builder make one for you.Get the ideas, tips, and insights from this video and all my others in my ever-expanding book of electronic music ideas, tips and tricks here: Learn more from monome (not an affiliate link):► bit.ly/monome-norns Support the channel and explore my book: ► Patreon: patreon.com/loopop Other gear in the video:► VCMC from Befaco► Launchpad Mini MK3► MC-101 from Roland► The 4 knob controller is called Arc, also by monome, and is currently discontinued.
