Initial impressions:
1. Trigger Riot is fun as hell. A little hard to wrap my brain around it at times but I like it. I haven't even started to fuck with probabilities and shit.
2. I am in dire need of a proper mixer, because I am running out of VCA's to act as a mixer. Sadly there's no room at the moment lol.
3. The WMD percussion modules are fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for. Pico Drums sounds good. I definitely need to modulate the output... maybe I'll get a Geiger Counter like I planned to.
4. Speaking of Pico, the DSP is fucking tight.
5. Morgasmatron has sexually arousing filter sweeps.
6. Too early to call Mimetic Digitalis + Bin Seq + Tempi but I like 'em from an immediacy point of view.
Finally updated my Metropolis too which is nice. Now I just need to get a hold of the shortcuts and really get flying. Overall feelings are initially good. I definitely have some plumbing issues when it comes to getting audio out of the box, but I know I need a mixer module (ideally with some quality sends/returns).
As a side note, I started mucking around with Medusa. Whoever designed the presets for this machine should NEVER create presets for a synthesizer ever again. I thought it was broken out of the box because the presets sound like dissonant shit.
01) i want to love Triggles. for me, beautiful for random/happy accidents, awful for planned out stuff.
02) get a cheap but verbose external mixer? in-rack mixing is way too fucking expensive for me. and GET AWAY FROM MY PRECIOUS HP.
03) super curious about the WMD percusslets. SOON.
04) huh. i couldna gel with the Pico DSP. either time i had it. because of the Shard i have an odd hp module i want to use again, so have a Pico Sequential Switch incoming. WOOT.
05) JELLY.
06) Tempi is rad. played with a buds the other day. lurv the Mimetic.
