  • Sidechain EVERYTHING

    Excellent!

  • Do you like lichens?

    Right - of course - sorry! So here's the full breakdown after looking again at the patch:

    • The arpeggiator is affecting a synth clip which is made up of five sustained notes. It is set to UP mode with a range of three octaves.

    • None of the five notes runs the full 16 steps so the chord (and therefore the arpeggiator) retriggers every four beats. This means that when the arpeggiator is running more slowly it doesn't reach the full extent of the 3 octaves before it retriggers. So faster arpeggiator = more notes.

    • The highest three notes don't sound all the time. Actually in this example they are set at 1 of 7, 3 of 7 and 5 of 6. This adds to the degree of unpredictability in how far the arpeggio will get before it retriggers.

    And yes - no complaints here, it's tremendously flexible for modulation stuff... and always the possibility of more things to come :)

  • SCREWS FOR PARAMETER KNOB

    Hey there Phil - I had the same question a couple of months ago, here's the email response I got from Ian at Synthstrom when I asked about spare grub screws:
    "I'd say the easier route would just be to order more knob caps. We sell these on the website. The grub screws are custom as are the knob caps, we currently don't have more grub screws than we have knob caps, though we may do in a few months."

    I guess you could email support and ask if they now have any spares - but it might be worthwhile ordering a couple of knobs. Oh, and you'll need a 1.5mm hex key for the grub screw when you get one :)
