Yeah, kinda funny. The last few days I was like "Man, I wish Elektron still had some of their MD shirts". Then I see these and get happy. Then I see the price and get sad. Maybe they come with a free TM-1? :) On 9/30/06, Robert Krueger <rkr1@...> wrote: > > $49 for a friggin T-shirt???

Same here, if only to maintain the resale value of the UW kit. 10x sample transfer might mean I actually transfer some samples again :) chrism On Oct 1, 2006, at 8:27 AM, Tarekith wrote: > Ordered and confirmed. $70 including shipping is a decent price me > think. > > On 10/1/06, marc davidson <psi@...> wrote: > > > > Available.. > > > > > > > > > > Yahoo!

Honestl;y, the sample transfer time doesn't bother me at all. but if this in anyway improves the way the MD syncs with ableton live, I'll be happy.

Even using Live (or SX) to drive it, it's not that bad at all. But sometimes I can hear it slipping just a little bit.

ordered TM-1 today. I am also interested in the SPS-1's timing when driven by live / logic. Any news yet tarekith?

I wish there was a bit more info on the Turbo thingy. At least if it was available in the "Friends" page only. Even pictures of it would be great. I ordered one already, but still. For example I wuold like to know more about how to connect it, if a Mchinedrum and a Monomachine can share the same unit, or if you need one for each, etc.. > ordered TM-1 today.

Out from TM-1 to your MD midi in. Midi out from your MD to TM-1 in. Since it uses both the midi in/out on the MD/MM when connected it is not possible to connect it to two devices at the same time. Haven't tried it with midi thru and a midi merger though, but I doubt that it will work. /Janne

ooh fascinating. how well do you all think this would work for live applications? what i mean is would it be possible to use your computer as a sample dump where you can drag and drop new samples into the TM/ MD quick enough for live use?

yeah, both at once is what i meant. i just read it has one MIDI in and one MIDI out, only, so i guess it's one at a time. chaining turbo->MD->MnM probably wont work very fast at the MnM end...

This is what daniel from elektron wrote ont he Elektron forums: "About sync improvements - with TurboMIDI x8 or x10 you do not have any hardware limits on getting dead tight sync at least! About syncing several machines - If you want to sync two machines from your computer, and it is kind enough to output reliable sync. And, if both your machines defaults to the same speed, you could already try a trick using the through-port to sync to the second (and third and so on). They would respond and think they were part of the speed negotiation. Worth trying! For the future: The protocol supports hard set speeds though, so with upgrades of C6 and/or the MD+Mono you could hard set the MIDI speed for all the units included in the link. Non-turbo-devices should not be let into the MIDI link when in turbo mode though. It would be impossible to say what they would decode from the stream. :) Daniel" On 10/2/06, roby@... <roby@...> wrote: > I'm hoping it will. my idea is to load songs and patterns into both MD > and MnM quickly, etc... -- Tarekith http://www.tarekith.com

Neat! sounds like one TM is enough for both as long as both units are, essentially, Elektron machines. > This is what daniel from elektron wrote ont he Elektron forums: > > "About sync improvements - with TurboMIDI x8 or x10 you do not have > any hardware limits on getting dead tight sync at least! > > About syncing several machines - > If you want to sync two machines from your computer, and it is kind > enough to output reliable sync.

I'm sorry but i don't understand why Turbo Midi is a good thing... It's only a USB like speed midi transfert isn't it ? Do we need to pay 60 euros for that ? Just to speed up sample transfert ? Or worst, to fix the sync problem we all have with MD ? I don't understand why my MD can't sync with Live, my other gear can do that well so the problem came from the heart of MD, not from anywhere else. For me, Turbo Midi is just an hardware fix (we have to pay) But maybe i'm wrong ? Ono

No, no, no, no, no. Turbo MIDI enhances the ancient and slow MIDI specification so samples may be transferred much more quickly from a computer to the UW. As a side effect, it also increases the resolution of the MIDI timing. The UW can sync to a computer just as well as any other MIDI device without Turbo MIDI. /Scott On 10/3/06, Tony Scharf <tony@...> wrote: > > > > > > > onosendai@... wrote: > > > > > > I'm sorry but i don't understand why Turbo Midi is a good thing... > > > > It's only a USB like speed midi transfert isn't it ?

Well, we use midi since more than ten years and i never heard someone complain about slow midi specification... Think about Jarre, Tangerine Dreams and Vangelis, how many synth they use with "simple" midi ? By the way, the future of midi already exist : it's OSC (for OpenSoundControl). Native Instruments use OSC (and midi) with all of their product. So i don't understand why Elektron have to think about a new kind of format. It's a bit weird to me :/ Ono > No, no, no, no, no. > > Turbo MIDI enhances the ancient and slow MIDI specification so samples > may be transferred much more quickly from a computer to the UW.

Exactly! It's just an added feature for the UW if you want superfast sample transfers. I can live with the slow MIDI sample transfer times -- it gives me time to think ;0 /Scott On 10/3/06, Tony Scharf <tony@...> wrote: > > Scott Kellogg wrote: > > > > > > No, no, no, no, no. > > > > Turbo MIDI enhances the ancient and slow MIDI specification so samples > > may be transferred much more quickly from a computer to the UW.

It's not a new format. It's an evolution of the MIDI specification, which dates from 1982.

well the midi specification bit may be a bit misleading? though there will be a completely different protocol (no status bit maybe) surely any changes to the data layer aren't going to need a new piece of hardware, it must be a change at the physical level. Somebody mentioned something once about using all the pins, maybe they're running their own parallel data stream over a connection that is normally just serial or something? i dunno!

Which begs another question. How will it effect timing issues? I mean, if Cubase is still putting out MIDI clock at the same rate, using standard midi format, how is the driver for the turbo-midi device going to somehow improve that? something about this just doesnt add up in my head.

My UW syncs fine with Live as well. Just need to offset the midi clock to -20ms to have it spot on. Sometimes, when doing crazy stuff with midi in live, it offsets a bit and doesn't recover but the tempo is still ok. All it takes is to restart the engine. And I'm almost sure this is a problem with Live and not with the MD. What kind of sync problems do you have? and what interface/system are you using? And do you have any problems syncing the MD to other hardware gear? Rui

well the greater the bandwidth the less likely it is that the computer will need to send a timing byte down the wire whilst it is also sending note data, so the less likely it is that any messages will be sent late because they had to wait for previous messages. i am just making this up as i go along, but the midi standard runs at 31,250 bps according to Wikipedia which means that if a note on message is being transmitted which iirc is 3 bytes then we'll have to wait 30 bits (the midi spec adds two extra bits per byte i think) of data before we can send the midi clock message which is 30/31250 = 0.00096s which is almost a millisecond. i think that's right :S On 10/3/06, Tony Scharf <tony@...> wrote: > > Which begs another question.

I think we're wagging the dog a bit here. Turbo MIDI's primary function is to increase sample transfer time to the UW. Anything beyond that is gravy.

These timing benefits sound awfully sketchy. If you can't

Its like this...without some kind of changes in the software generating
the code, the midi clock will be the same as it was. Stienberg and
(then) emagic both came out with their own proprietary interfaces to
tackle MIDI timing problems in the late 90's, but both only worked with
their own software specificaly because it required a low level
interaction with the source clock..
I dont see how this timing benefit will matericalize. It sounds like
marketing crap to me..
for myself, I get pretty much perfect sync with cubase on my pc with a
UM880, with the exception of how the MD handles (or rather doesnt)
handle Song Position Pointer. My other gear handles it...just not the MD.

We never force anyone to buy anything we do. We refuse however to do quick cheap stuff and intend to do exclusive things, whatever it may be. Maybe I can comfort you with the knowledge of that we have never made any money of any of the accessories (the bag, the stickers, posters etc) in the end. USD 49 for a limited designer t-shirt - _including_ world shipping would not get in my way to get it if I liked it. Appearently neither other people. Also consider te dollars all time (or at least 10 years) low to the European currencies. We love however to do unique stuff that makes a difference and put our nose into different areas, as long as it's fun and creative. Lucky enough we've received much praise as well for our non-standard approach. :) --- The Good Night Story about the little Model A t-shirt follows here: The goal we had with Elektron Style Model A was to do a tee that didn't smell "promotion", rather something you can wear with pride. Still we wanted to go big with the Elektron logo. We did much investigation before going for this one. We really like more open necks (not the oh so hated strangler-neck), and finally found one that could fit into a low-number-print. We wanted discrete colors with print, but real big ones. The Model A had to be the plain Elektron-print. But the idea of putting the same logo on the same positions for both back and front came from my all-time favourite adidas t-shirt. The colors for the fabric were sampled from different of our favourite clothing, then analysed at the coloring company. Also the printing were done on unbleached cotton, so we couldn't tell exactly what the resulting color would be after the dying process beforehand. The company we worked with though were very competent, and we got the kind of not-so-easy-to-tell-colors that we wanted. The print was printed before the dying was performed, making the print a part of the t-shirt - you can't really feel it by hand. This also got the "worn" feeling of the print that we wanted, and provided a dye that really do not come of. Wash together with other stuff, even the first time. Also we chose to print in the neck rather than any more tag than the one most necessary little one that is telling the size. You should never look the Elektron way if you want "value for money". We're too small and we're not located neither produce the numbers to be able to utilise the low "world economy" prices. We want hoevever do something special with all we do, and put our soul into it. So far we're still here! Another part on if our stuff being high priced or not... Always remember that shipping is included in all our prices. The price you see is exactly what you pay. Then we see to that you get it delivered to your door. If we wanted we could print 39, then during the checkout add 10 for shipping, but we've chosen the other way. WYSIWYG, old Amiga term. :) Now go to the mall or where you prefer to buy clothes and see if you can't find a tee that you like that cost more than the USD 49 we ask for ours. Then consider if it is a unique low-volume tee, designed, printed and dyed in a western country. Check it's origin. I can bet there are around 10k of the same made in a third world country. That is if you do not go really expensive. Don't really know why I'm defending our dear Model A here, but I guess that constantly being meassured price-wise against companies using the mass market and underpayed third-world employees tickle my defence button, and sometimes I get the urge to tell the whole story from my view. :) You can see the actual number of t-shirts we have left in stock. I have no idea if there will be any reprint. As usual - If you want it, get it while it's here. There are still all colors and all sizes left! Daniel PS. If you want a standard Beefy Hanes (or similar) that screams promotional, you could probably find a motive at elektron.se/press and print it. You would violate our copyright but chances are good you would get away with it.

I think the underwear would more likely be briefs, based on the Elektron design aesthetics. /Scott On 10/13/06, Jesse <jesse@...> wrote: > > Can I get an elektron hat, some elektron shoes and socks and some > elektron boxer shorts... > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: gavb77 > To: elektron-users@yahoogroups.com <elektron-users%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 9:09 AM > Subject: [elektron] Re: Elektron Style!
