Yeah, it’s weird because people who make interesting music or even good music are in the tiniest minority of people who these things are aimed at and appeal to. it’s tough sometimes to see past the same old demo for every “analogue” synth/drum machine to see the potential for something different. ---

Mfb sounding nice. I found a sample pack of it, that’ll have to do me ---

I don’t use all the outs but I like the option especially for the kick, don’t want much reverb or delay on that Ie [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/VHm-ljQvem4/maxresdefault.jpg "Modded 606 / Acid Jam 3 (+ Cobalt 5s)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHm-ljQvem4) Overdrive/ distortion on the kick, rev / delay on the rest ---

But it’s £29, new Going to have to get one. I used to have a really nice Joyo Atmosphere with a shimmer setting but it died ---

Quick question.. I used to be able to record external sources using line-in / audacity / etc, but don’t seem to be able to do it any more. Is it hardware related (Lenovo laptop running Windows 11) or am I just missing a check box somewhere? Thanks! ---

Did you work this out doowyrag? https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=3505969991/size=large/tracklist=false/artwork=small/ Ambient compilation, had a few CDs made of this one, if anyone wants one (gratis) let me know ---

I recently followed another YT tutorial, added a little extra, and recorded that direct to phone. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/_U6zwicKRJI/maxresdefault.jpg "Cover Version, Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U6zwicKRJI) ---

That’s really weird. It’s my middle sons Bday next month and he’s getting into music and particularly Gorillaz music. Today he was playing on my Yamaha CP keyboard as I was using it in the house to write and he was having loads of fun making loops with the delay. He has a good ear for so started me thinking he might be ready for something like a Volca to play on and get inspired. I’ll show him this video maybe. ---

Sp404 might be good, you can sample direct. Also the po33 looks fun ---

Nice! Can see you’ve been taking notes on desk clutter too. Just missing a pot plant and a cup with a mirror in it 😉 ---

The tutorial might be a better one to show. It blows me away how clever he & this little box is. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZwzXssmdIQc/maxresdefault.jpg "Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz (Korg Volca Sample 2 Cover)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwzXssmdIQc) So much to learn. ---

Haha. Yup. Trying to fit in with the proper Tubers. (Jumble sale CD ‘COMPILATION JOHN’ is my favourite bit. Added to cart without even looking at the track list). ---

Oh shit @jimvo I’ve got an SP-404 Mk II arriving today!
