Re: THE ULTIMATE SP-606 software/driver/manual/firmware thre

Hi. Can anyone re-up the 1.11 firmware? Roland seem to have reverted to 1.09 which seems strange

Re: Sp-555 as MIDI Master, without sending midi notes

actually i think i read the 555 always outputs pad hits on channel1. so if you can avoid channel 1, that's the solution

Re: Sp-555 as MIDI Master, without sending midi notes

you can set the midi send base channel and it sends all of the banks over that channel, then that channel+1. If you make your synth respond on a lower or higher channel, you're good. You need to turn omni off on the elektron so it doesn't respond to all channels

mono resampling bug?

question for 606 owners. Is there a bug with resampling? I am trying to resample only the left channel. Here's the process. Route some drums into audio in left and some synth into audio in right. Record that as a stereo sample. Playing back I can hear drums in my left ear and synth in the right. Go ...

Re: killed midi functionality with a feedback loop

well. somehow i must have broken the drivers as it is working again now. I uninstalled the XP drivers and installed the vista ones in compatibility mode. Now everything is back up and running. Relieved if confused.

killed midi functionality with a feedback loop

Hi,

Just wanted to put up here that I think I managed to damage my 606 hardware by accidentally creating a midi feedback loop. It was done in software connecting the 606 midi device as an in and an out. [Stupid I know but I was trying to do something a bit complicated]. The 606 obviously locked up ...

Re: Lofi compressor effect

Hi HAWTKARL,

I am aware of free plugins that do aspects of the sound. The compression is very distinctive. That is part of the reason why goodhertz are getting away with charging so much!

There is a free wav editor that lets you process through vst chains - waveosaur.

I know it's possible to get ...

Re: Lofi compressor effect

hey. thanks v much for the info. I knew somebody had to have modelled it. That vulf is expensive though. I would rather buy another sp-555 than pay $150 for a plugin! Plus i need it as a 32bit VST. I think I am going to try fx2100 here

Lofi compressor effect

Hi,

I sold my 555 but miss the lofi compressor effect. Can anyone help me identify a software or hardware alternative. Least of all there must be a chain of vsts that capture the essence. Its the dynamics I like more than any filtering or bit reduction. Whatever it was applied to would go loud and ...

Re: Question about program change

Thanks for the reply. That's my worst case scenario. The program change thing seems to suggest you couldn't play say a kick from bank 1 and a hat from bank 2 simultaneously. Unless the program change was near instant. I thought that if it changed the pads live on the sampler, you could at least use ...

Question about program change

Hi,

I have studied the manual but I just want to check I have this right.

It seems that a program change can be sent to select which pad bank is controlled via midi.

My question is, does that change what is physically selected and playable from the pads? If so that would be very cool from a ...
