Okay, do you have an iphone because you could
use the iPhone to send cv signals to the volca.
I picked up an old iPhone 6s for this purpose the other day.
I also have an iPhone SE original that can do this but
I'm going to use this for Tonestack Pro with a
midi Footswitch pedal.
Thanks for this.
You can now convert midi notes to cv signals quite easily
in dRambo using the "External CV Instrument module".
Definitely.

Has to be sequenced from ipad because thats where the faderfox routes but could still use phone without controller.
What about launchpad pro vs x.
Can the pro sequencer ghost drambos. Midi in and then see song view on launchpad and p-lock with a faderfox?
Also has midi out but adding a usb host for x might be ok.
Thanks
I've tested the idea out using an iPhone headphone jack out and it's doable.
Needs fine tuning.
I've got a Launchpad X.
It doesn't have the sequencer and eight custom mappings
like the Launchpad Pro but it is really nice to play.
I picked it up for a oner, opened box as new.
I'm using two of the four custom templates.
One for triggering clips, effects and midi mutes in dRambo and
another to send cc messages so that I can control volumes for instance
on the other iPad.
As mentioned I'm using both the LP X and the LC XL.
I don't know about this you will need someone who has an LP Pro
or someone could send me one to test out 😁
I would recommend anyone who is using iPads as their main source
for sound generation, sequencer etc to get a usb hub.
If I didn't have a usb hub my battery would last half and hour.
No worries.
No need to say thanks all the time, appreciated though.
We're both enjoying this convo.
I'm learning a lot.
You say headphone wont work when ipad is plugged into the Focusrite though?
Will research more about launchpad
Exactly as the Focusrite will take over system audio when using music apps.
That's why I mentioned getting an iPhone with a headphone jack.
The original SE's and the iPhone 6s are going so cheap at the moment
and can be used in a dedicated way for things like this.
Cool.
Bought an se 2016. Works with the omni deck. Tbh I euclidean sequenced a ripplemaker. Then found the sequencer wasnt even sequencing ripplemaker because of the patching I think. Should set gear back up really.
Oh wicked.
You can patch the output from the SE to send gate signals to your Korg Modular.
That could be fun.
Sounds like it could be the patching.
Again I don't have Ripplemaker because I currently don't have the need for it.
By the way I had a look at the Bastl Kastl and it sounds intriguing.
A small format affordable synth that's patchable.
By the way do you have two cck's???
Got cck3 plus an original ( without power ) because the omni deck video. He said it works best for dvs. Got it working with the cck3 but Id say it seems to work better with the original.
Whys that mate?
Seems like the custom modes for the launchpad would be better for me then expected. I could have a custom mode of 32 pads, all the same midi ch, across the different custom modes and the same note scene/setting per pad across custom modes ( no transpose ) This would be for drums where 32 notes is enough. The bottom 32 pads can be a different midi ch to the top 32 pads but transpose across custom modes, with a mapping that transposes when you cycle custom modes?
Need to decide if I need velocity ( for turntable scratching, maybe also ) and Atom/drambo intergration, instead of form factor.
Because you can connect stuff to your iPhone SE as well as your iPad.
I'm thinking ahead.
Interesting that you should say this.
I've been putting together a dRambo project for the
LP X which could be used with any of the Launchpads.
It's a four part drum sequencer with visual feedback on the LP X.
All you need to do is press the pads on the grid and voila drums.
It's needs fine tuning otherwise it would be up already.
Lol. So details.
The x is about about same depth as nanokontrol. 17mm. With the lamical stand and a weight. The nanokontrol is stable enough. The x is about an ipad height. So if stand doesnt tilt from side to side, then maybe it wont also tilt back. Would need a block underneath stand though to be above ipad and seems like the x should fit with a focusrite on a shelf to left of where zoom is. Note also there could be space for x 2 bastl kastle but not thinking to buy at the mo.
Dont need to remake the mdf for deck. Which is cool. The volca drum is near the deck. Plus a launchpad and ipad for tfxecho which has an on/off for delay ( when djplayerpro ) inputs to aum. Quite good really. Never really scratched or used dvs but usually I guess you would use a macbook. Then find a way to implement production gear also.
Rad man.
Should be able to use custom modes to build a custom keyboard. With allocated notes and allocated midi channel for any note/pad?
😏
The stand will support an LP X but the lip of the stand
could scratch the LP X or whatever LP you're going to get.
It will bounce around I can see that already.
They are very playable.
I've got mine flat at the moment and they work a treat that way.
You could also get stands specifically for them.
I'm currently doing the research.
Here's a photo op moment.
Yup, I've been mapping dRambo using the LC XL and the LP X using the custom modes.
By extension I can map everything else including,...wait for it.......Shoom.
Good setup mate. Super chill.
A volca and bastl might be good.
Try mononoke and shoom. Map mononoke parameters and shoom effects to lcxl.
Still have screen space for another synth.
Try controlling Mononoke with left hand and shoom with right hand.
This were actually what the thread about.
Yeah it is.
I have all my instruments within arms length.
I'm going for both the Volca Modular and the Bastl.
The Bastl looks super cute.
I don't have Mononoke.
I do have Shoom though and the way I have my configuration
all I need to do is call up Shoom on one iPad and route
whichever controller I would like to use with it.
Exactly.
Once you've got the setup sorted then everything else will fall into place.
I'm looking at your rig and thinking about ergonomics.
It's got to feel playable as well as function the way you need it to
also the fact that you have two cck's and two idevices means that
iphone SE can act as a router for your controllers and synths that you have
and the iPad can be used for Shoom which was the original thought.
So instead of getting another iPad right now, use the iPhone.
It doesn't have to be heavy duty effects but the SE is as powerful as
and iPad Air 2 and you can get good results with an iPad Air 2.
Wont be able to mononoke and shoom on two ipads myself. Unless theres decent midi control. Decided not to buy another ipad. It would have been for additional screen apps. With mononoke mapped to ec4 though. It just means id have to learn a synth in the background (ie what to tweak ) and midi map to ec4. Then everything is plugged into focusrite. The audio4c would have to unplug a device or find combos for certain tracks. Not sure about much deck apart from the vibrtation thing you do with vinyl through a delay + some samples I guess. If I used gear more. I would probably know most suitable setups but will likely buy the focusrite.
Map both Shoom and Mononoke to the controllers
and get some wipeable overlays with the markings.
That way you can switch of looking at the screen
and play the synths using the controllers.
It creates a much more tactile feel.
Yeah, I can hear that you've set your heart on the Focusrite.
Go for it.
The ec4 has a screen for names. Hope the controller can switch scenes via encoder rather than scene plus encoder. Should of checked because I might of sent it back. My next course of action I guess is to make money on bitcoin or something and buy a headphone amp and headphones as good as speakers.
No dude, the headphone outs for both the Zoom U-44's and the Focusrite are
really good quality and I've just recently purchased a set of AKG K275's
which I got for 45 squidlys.
I would recommend them.
They are really nice sounding.
Will check the AKG. Just use superlux evos at the mo.
I don't know the Superlux evo's but here's the thing.
Once you know the sound of your headphones then
you don't have to be so concerned about the mix.
If you're happy with the sound of the Evo's?
Stick with 'em.
The thing is to get mixes happening.
Hence why we're discussing all of this.
Headphones will be ok for now Grav. Will buy the focusrite soon and get mixing.
Sweet.
I’ll also get my thinking hat on.
As we’ve both got the same iPhone SE’s I could see about configuring something to
get Shoom happening on the iPad and routing and stuff happening with the iPhone SE.
For instance Volca drum and Modular connected to one Zoom U-44 in mono left+right
and the Omni in stereo routed through to the main iPad via SPDIF and Shoom
on the iPad controlled by the Faderfox.
This way you can have effects running on the iPhone SE and everything summed on the iPad.
By the way I came across a MiRack patch
that was inspired by the Korg Modular.
I'm going to play around with it over the next days
mapping my Korg Nanokontrol mki to it.
If it plays nicely then all I have to do is get the Bastl.
Here's the MiRack patch from Patchstorage
https://patchstorage.com/volca-modular/
I’m just thinking of the poor novice who tries to get a grip on Shoom and lands on this fingerbang of a thread. Yuri will probably have to rename the app.
Lololololol....
I'm sure someone will assist them.
'Tis a fingerbang of a thread for sure.
The ramblin' and I'm so complicit.
I didn't expect it at all.
Still, I did engage and what's done is done.
When Sigma gets his rig sorted we'll close it for posterity. 😏
Plan is to buy an audio4c. Ipad mini. Launchpad x. Not sure about the launchpad but will be the keyboard that routes easy to both ipads, No usb hub needed. Setup complete. All to create the most live tweaking. Keyboard inputing. Drum rolling. Sample launching. Radio mangling, Effects processing. Music.
Good idea.
Straight forward no fuss.
Cool.
