Anyone who's interested in how to get Dillaesque rhythms should read Dan Charnas' incredible book Dilla Time. In it he shows how Dilla didn't just play everything unquantised. He actually used a complex combination of multiple types of quantisation, both straight and swung, applied to the different drum parts

Edit: forgot to say that I think this is a cool module. I'm not sure if it should really have Dilla's name on the panel even if it Does replicate little bits of his technique but it's great for there to be things out there that easily add more complex forms of swing than the majority of sequencers that haven't progressed past the lm-2. Huge credit to Roger Linn for that initial design and the MPCs that enabled Dilla to build those techniques

the module is really interesting to me. Some questions: Is there a way to share the shuffle tempo with other modules? I'm not talking about the streight foward tempo sync but the shuffle mode. For example to do this thing on the Beatstep pro the only way is share a drum line track with all steps filled up. I'm curious about the drum patters. Are there only pre built patters? How many? I would like to know how much can evolve them via cv modulation.
@DivKid
2 жыл бұрын
There's a sync output which is a steady straight clock and a subdivided output which shares the shuffle setting. So presuming you have other sequencers that will clock with 1 pulse per step you can then sync up everything else to this too. You can make and save patterns and cycle through them and also step edit easily. Push the encoder to add a beat then twist to move through the steps and push to add/remove a note of that step.

I see your point but that's the whole drum machine with just those modules.

How is velocity of the drums handled on this module? Are the hi-hats all programmed at the same volume, or is the volume/velocity of the hi-hats varied? Also, can you program your own beats, or can you only select from pre-programmed patterns?
@DivKid
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Brian, you can step sequence all the parts if you like. Or used save patterns and work through them twisting the encoders. It doesn't handle any velocity sequencing. These are just trigger outputs meant for trigger/gate inputs on other modules. Velocity is an important part of a groove but with Eurorack you would need to have separate inputs that work with varying voltages for the velocity element of a patch. Trigger ins don't respond to varying voltage they simple make something happen (envelope on and off, drum sound fires etc). One way to approach it would be drive a separate sequencer with the rhythm. So taking the hi hat output to trigger your hi hat but also using it to progress through a voltage sequence. Then use that sequence voltage to influence the velocity of the hi hat. Either directly on the hi hat module if it has an input for it or (most likely) patching the hi hat into a VCA and adjusting the level in a VCA. As it's modular "everything is possible" but by going with a modular mindset and approach and building up series of functions with more modules. (at the expense and space/case cost too of course). None of that is exclusive to this sequencer I should add, that's just how trigger sequencers and trigger inputs work within the format.

The current issue with SB is that the envelopes fire at time whnpen they are not programmed when externally clocking and resetting the module. This come on the back of an issue where it would not reset at all if the reset pulse came at the same time as a clock tick. At the same time? As this last bug there was an issue with the envelopes firing at the beginning of each bar when the module was externally clocked. These bugs would be super obvious to anyone who actually flexes the module. I'm a little disappointed someone who gets sponsored for reviewing modules didn't notice. Please pay closer attention when making reviews in the future. Each time MSM trying to fix the module they end up creating a new bug. I have lost all hope that Stolperbeats will ever work as intended or described. It feels more like a hobby kit than a commercial product, and the community has been super hostile towards my efforts to help fix these many issues. I advise anyone thinking of purchasing a module from MSM to move on and find a better company to support.
@DivKid

I don't externally clock it, so I haven't seen these issues. When I use it, it's the clock. "please pay closer attention when making reviews in the future" ... wow ok that feels rude. As does the "anyone that flexes it" comment. I haven't made a review of it, at all. I made a quick introductory preview video. I also don't make reviews, it's not an opinion piece. RE the community getting hostile, you're coming off as rude, which I really don't think is your intention at all, I think you mean well for me here and for the module and what things to be good for everyone. But you're probably getting peoples backs up with your approach which will then shut down valid and good things you have to offer.

@@DivKid Not trying to be rude, but I feel these bugs were super easy to find. And yes, anyone who actually flexes the device would find them pretty quick. It took me less than a day after each firmware update to find the new bug. And like I said, SB has never worked properly or as described. So it is tough to see that not a single video covering this module mentions any of the issues Stopler has. Another synthfluencer pushed back on my comments telling me firmware 160 was stable when it is not. And then threw more false information at me to try and prove me wrong. However, I am in current communication with MSM and helped initiate the past 4 firmware updates. This is difficult to deal with and to me quite rude. I want to trust your community, but it's been getting more and more difficult when these bugs are not discovered or not disclosed. As painful as it might be to hear, this lack of ability to find obvious issues with Stoplerbeats needs to be addressed. Maybe you could do the community a favor and look into the current issues and make a video to help inform MSM. This would be a great help!

The bugs might be easy to find if that's the feature you're using. If people aren't using that feature, and are otherwise very happily using it then it simply won't come up. Synthfluencer, haha, funny term that one. Anyway I can't speak for anyone else or the results they're getting. I haven't tried the issue you've mentioned, or any of the firmware updates. So I can't pushback or comment on it at all. It's worth remembering that Euro companies are often one or two people that are working hard, often for the love of it, it's not an industry people get into for the money. It's nice to hear MSM are taking on board the feedback and working on firmware updates. I hope that continues and gets to any bug squashes. RE trust my community, what community? Me or Eurorack in general? I can't speak for other companies or users. Had I made a comprehensive demo then yeah I'd stress test and try to bug find and look at all the features properly. I haven't done that for Stolperbeats nor have I claimed to. Unfortunately I don't have time to go hunting for bugs or to make videos trying to get into it. I know that MSM wouldn't give me special treatment over their users though so if you're speaking to them they'll be on the case best they can be. The best approach is always going to be politely and with a friendly tone to engage with people, but as I say this is coming across rude (I know you don't mean it to be) and you've been that way with other things on my channel and I imagine elsewhere. Often with the tone of just telling people to outright avoid companies altogether. If that's what you're telling people to do, you have to understand that's not going to lead to people working hard to fix any potential issues, or to take feedback on board. When that's the takeaway message to what you're saying it's not helpful to anyone.
