But I am pretty sure it was just a faulty one.Īnyway, as you may already imagine, I kept the Classic and gave back the 2018 version. The unit I got had a fader with a very suspicious noise in addition to the moving noise I know of the Classic version and other controllers.
Try it with Amplitube or TH3, where the controls have to be mapped to automation parameters first The way it is you can only use it in S1 (understandable, but to the disadvantage of the user) and I think you have to click the parameter you want to adjust (can't remember exactly) It is also only usable for automatable parameters. The link feature of the big knob would have been very useful in general, if it would just imitate a mouse wheel. The new big knob is as awful to me as the small pan pot from the Classic version There are a couple of new functions I like, but some of them need the shift button and that one is horribly placed, if you ask me. If the connections were put below the surface (so that only the cables stick out at the end) it may have been ok. unfortunately it is a little bit too long for its place on my desk. A display is missing, especially since it is not always so easy to tell which channel/track is selected in S1 Could have used a couple of configurable user buttons. Very hard sounding rasterization and one "click" moves the pan pot very far (hard to say this as a non native speaker, but I hope you get what I mean) Especially when used with S1 it is awesome. I am using the Classic for a couple of years now. I am a little late to the party, but nevertheless I am able to give a comparison: So saving a song/project every 10-20 seconds is a lifesaver for me.
#Sonic charge microtonic vs software#
I never trust all software developers on the world! We are all long-life beta-testers for software companies. This special control units should not be using analogous to ordinary computer keyboards.Īlso I use surely every 20 seconds the "User" button on Faderport Classic configured as "Save" button. The F1-8 solution in combination with Shift button is still an unwanted workaround on Faderport 8/16. What I need is proof of your PO-32 purchase.
This should bring your total spent to the same price as the bundle. We would like to extend this deal retroactively to PO-32 owners by offering a 20 discount on Microtonic. I never understand why on Faderport 8 /16 or on Faderport 2018 are not independent buttons for this essential functionality at Studio One. Teenage Engineering is about to launch a PO-32 + Microtonic bundle. It is so essential to use the Undo button and also switching to the Mixer - the Editor - and the Pool/PlugIn/Instrument Window WITHOUT using every time the shift combination on Faderport 8. This seems to be a very well configuration. I use the old original Faderport Classic together with the Faderport 8. The 3 big failures compared to the new one:
It all works as advertised, it looks good with all the nice and colourful lights BUT: Microtonic’s punchy, characterful and adaptable sound continues to amaze almost two decades after we first heard it – it’s an instrument that every electronic producer should have in their toolbox.Guido Negraszus wroteI just replaced my old Faderport with the new one. There’s also a Morph slider, for seamlessly transitioning between two separate parameter states and drag-and-drop MIDI export makes transferring patterns to the host DAW a snap. The step sequencer is standard fare, with lanes for Accent and Fill (rapidly repeated notes, from 2-8x), and a length setting for each channel (polyrhythms ahoy!), and can be popped out into a more intuitive eight-lane interface. Eight channels each house an independent instance of the same synthesis engine, based on a single analogue-style oscillator and a noise generator, and tweaked using a straightforward but sufficiently versatile collection of parameters that includes pitch and amplitude modulation, filtering, distortion and EQ. Updated to version 3 way back in 2011 (seven years after launch), Magnus Lidström’s 100% synthesised offering is quite simply one of the finest virtual beatboxes money can buy.
