Just some notes I found around online. Need to verify them.
Output Boost:
R5 pins 1 and 2 on a 10k potentiometer.
I’d recommend putting a 10k in series with a 10k pot.
Damp Control:
R9 and R10, you can substitute one of these resistors for a 5kB pot.
lug 1 and lug 3 goes where the resistor was and lug 2 with a 68nF goes to ground. This should work as CJ damp control, just the values are different. (10k for 5k and 33nF for 68nF)
Came across this and had to archive it.
I wanted to come up with a smaller footprint pedal to control a few outboard items like:
Quick Parts List
My Pedaltrain Jr board is full and I’m now thinking that I should start looking for a permanent power solution instead of the OneSpot. Don’t get me wrong, I think the OneSpot is a great product but I may be over the 800Ma constraint. The results can not be good for pedals and the sound. I think the best thing to do is to list out the pedals on the board and add up the MA’s and see where I’m at.
I have found that the bulb is replaceable.
Original Part Number: BQ044 (Taken from RE-201 Service Manual)
14V 80mA lamp
I could go with one of these
I always forget what the “Mode Selector” knob settings are. Like, what heads are activated with what setting. Here is a reference that will hopefully help me remember.
I have a bunch of drum machine samples that I wanted to make proper kit layouts and save them on a thumb drive to use/backup. I started with looking at the 808 and DMX kits that came with the Maschine software and will use these as the basis for my kits. Here is a rundown of the 16 pads.
This will be used as a template to create classic drum machine kits that can be changed on the fly and keep the samples/beat together without a snare being hit instead of a bass drum.
So as of Maschine 1.7 there is no internal compression sidechain setup and for most electronic/hiphop music this is much needed. So I was trolling around and found these notes in the NI Forms.
Here is a sidechain workaround method
1.) Open create an Ableton live set with one midi track (for maschine) and however many audio tracks you have depends on your groups. (i.e. if you have 3 groups with patterns playing, you will need at least 3 audio tracks)
2.) Route your GROUPS to outputs 2, 3, etc…
3.) On Ableton, select the I/O options on the audio tracks…then pick the midi track with MASCHINE on it for the input. on the box below, select whatever output you assigned the group to be. For instance: if your GROUP A is routed out of Maschine as OUT 2, on the audio track, you select MASCHINE on the first box, then OUT 2 on the second box.
4.) Set all the groups to IN, repeat as necessary.
What you should have so far is Maschine on a midi track, and a # of audio tracks depending on your # of groups. Hit a pad on group A to see if the audio “jumps” in Ableton, to check your work.
5.) Once you are all routed up, we got a couple more steps. Take the kick drum, or whatever you want to trigger the side-chain, and go to it’s sound page and route it out of maschine to a completely new routing. (i.e. OUT 10) and create a new audio track, name it “KICK” and route it like we did earlier, so the kick comes through Ableton.
6.) Apply an ableton compressor on any audio tracks you want side-chained, and select their side-chain input to be “KICK” track, make sure the track is set to “IN”.
You should be good now…you have essentially used Ableton as a new medium to carry maschine in, allowing you to side-chain.
Snagged this from TGP forums I wanted to archive this. I do not agree with all of this , but it has some great points that help keep us going in the right direction.
The first law of pedalboards: Anything than can break or fail, will in time, break or fail!!
Cables:
Placement:
Other things:
Chain
Generally:
I don’t believe a tuner should be in line through choice. Prefer in an isolated loop with a mute function. End of chain best, to prevent ghost noise
