Analogue-sequencer

hello, here a video from yesterday evening. I am now working, as you 
can see, with 2 maq 16/3.
but they are awfull to program for long interesting and ever changing 
sequences. so I am looking for a new step sequencer to add at my setup.

blimey, you've changed the studio a bit since that guitar workout from
'06! :-)

agreed re the maq- they only work for longer compositions if you are
constantly changing-

the pitches. this is what they really lend themselves to- hands-on,
with both hands! & playing through some sort of force-to-scale
mechanism. we used to use special patches in a sampler, then custom
tuning tables in the emu proteus modules, & now the p3 is used to
process (& sometimes capture) the maq's output.

the row lengths. we use an external midi controller to adjust the
loop-point of each row. we don't alter the start point often, as it
can get hard to remain syncopated.

the timbres. use midi controllers & the maq itself to alter anything
you can address by midi-CC.

try chaining the rows together to make longer sequences. we have done
this a few times, but I noticed that the maq will tend to crash if any
row in a chain is in random mode...

you could also set the two maqs up to interfere with each other. I
have three of them- I really ought to try that next time two of them
are in the same studio.... :-)

but yes, you need to get a p3! it has the immediacy of the maq, if you
set it up right (i.e. knob-grab events, keyboard input...) but the
depth of... well.... actually I don't think there is another machine
in hardware or software that achieves the same as the p3.

duncan/r.m.i.

(p.s. did you enjoy the eindhoven experience?)

Does the MAQ not have FTS built-in?

We enjoyed Eindhoven a lot, good to meet interesting people and hear 
good music!

It was our first live concert, we played over 2hours.
and we made a double live album of it :-)
(spam :-)) http://www.ambientlive.com/albums/dsm_elive.htm

Maybe we play next year in Great Brittain.

no, dieter doepfer and the him "inspiring"  kraftewerk guys didn't  
thought of that possibility when build the first black MAQ also teh  
silver version after words didn't have such feature
....erm very practical guys aren't they  ;-)
longer ago I sold my MAQ to get a P3 and never looked back :-)
