this is a really awesome breakdown of how to map a live looping workflow. their setup actually makes this so much easier to see and understand than on a daw or with real hw. unrelated, I'd be interested in moddevices input on how much you'd have to pare this down to fit in one of their other two devices (the mod duo, or the upcoming mod dwarf)

Thanks Benn, just bought one on your advice, as even a muppet should see this potential. Also I just spent the last four days listening to endlessly cheap pedals hoping to find what I was looking for, or just looking for my life!, or perhaps I am indeed the muppet! Love the MDX concept , I think it's time we all got away from all that religiously boring VST/AU conformity and as a creative ball of flames explode into the future of something else, current creative folds have soooooooooo last their way......... but we all gotto pay dem bills and brainwash each other into thinking we all cool man............love your ethics, love your spirit, thanks again.

@@haitibenefits4786 Sorry for the late reply, managed to get one direct from Germany on the day I wrote that. So must've been part of a new shipment I think. Great unit been using it everyday and have also written some plugins for it too. It's a great eco system with real potential, wrote the plugins in cycling74.com Max8-gen but found it hard going to polish them up visually for free release using their ModduoX builder which is all C++ learning curve headaches. Anyway did you end up getting one? Merry Xmas.

Its an interesting concept, to make something so accessible anyone can make music with it. In a way I would say its true but when things are so on rails it actually stop creativity. Or rather the art is in the programming it to be 'anyone proof' tho once the parameters are set I also see the versatility would also be pretty set as well. Maybe im wrong, I would love you to challenge this.

I'd say it absolutely would stifle creativity in a musician, but for a person who truly cannot play music it might be the only way they can be creative. I can't build furniture for my apartment from scratch, but i can select furniture from a catalog and arrange it in such a way that is unique and creative. That's the only way i can be creative with decorating as i am not a carpenter. Is this a dumb analogy? Probably lol

@benn jordan I am fairly new to this. Currently I am using a MIDI keyboard that goes into my laptop, into Cubase MIDI tracks, and from there the MIDI goes to the MD X, so basically I can record my performance and reproduce it any time I want. Would this 'MIDI routing' over such as Cubase be necessary also when using the Novation Launchpad X, to achieve the same recording goal?

@BennJordan4 жыл бұрын
@@danielpirone8028 I think the ZOIA is an instrument in itself. As in, I can make patches on it that I simply cannot make anywhere else due to the nature of the UI and modules. The Duo X on the other hand is technically far more powerful but requires an editor and looking at a screen to patch/customize. They're compared constantly but it's apples and oranges to me. I wouldn't replace one with the other. The Digit on the other hand I'm not using for cab modeling and the occasional modulation effect. The Bebo firmware is cool, but to be honest I'd much rather use VCV on my iPad or walk downstairs and use the actual modules. 😎

Yet another cool video on a device we probably won't get our hands on (in the US) for quite awhile because 1) they're totally sold out and 2) they've partnered with a company (again, in the US) most people have never heard of. So all this hype with no ability to try it. It sucks. Your videos are great, but as you even mention in your video: how far in the future are we going to have to wait? I don't expect you to answer that...but the mod guys can't seem to answer it, either. It's just frustrating.

Honestly, I am 100% out of patience for crowdfunded companies not delivering on their promises. I'm brutal with this stuff. But as far as I know, Mod Devices has exceeded their promises technically in their products. As for the delays in opening more pre-orders, I've had to completely shut down my label due to customs/shipping issues and am getting my haircut by my wife with a dog grooming kit in my garage. So if there's manufacturing delays and they're not taking your money until the delays get resolved, I understand it's frustrating, but this is the product they've poured everything into. Imagine how frustrating it is for them. Your patience will pay off!
