Thank you for watching the video! What's amazing about Twisted Electrons is that they proactively update the versions of their hardware even after a period of time has passed since its release. It's a great machine with more and more features.😊

@@SoundOptimize Seriously, the 4 kit variation is a mind blowing feature, and to be able to switch and alter each one so smoothly... it's amazing. I've missed out on the last 3 batches, but im looking every day, some twice, so i dont miss.

@@totalSLACK The variety of sounds is a really nice update. By the way, what I liked most about this update was the sandboxing of KIT (although it is not introduced in this video). With the previous method, I sometimes had to overwrite the KIT of another song, which was a problem, but I'm very happy that with sandboxing, I don't have to worry about that anymore. The steps to create a sandbox are a bit tedious, but the batch file provided by TE was useful.

LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESIS uses the YM2612 (emulated), while Blast Beats uses the actual FM chip, the YMF262. This chip was used for Sound Blaster, which was often installed in PCs in the 90s, but it was difficult to use it musically at the time. On the other hand, this chip has a wide variety of operating modes, and Blast Beats operates it in a mode that makes it easy to make beats. There are eight types of waveforms, including Sine (YM2612 only Sine), so the range of sounds that can be created is wide. However, there are only five algorithms, which are applied to the synth part. In addition, some sound parameters are shared in the rhythm part, and there are parameters that interact with each other, for example, SD and HiHat. The step length is a maximum of 64 steps (16 x 4 pages), and each step is fixed at a 16th note. MEGA SYNTHESIS has a maximum of 128 steps, and you can choose note lengths from 1/32 to 1/1. This means that when set to 1/1, you can create a maximum of 128 bars in one pattern. Both pieces of hardware allow you to set different step lengths for each part, making polyrhythmic performance possible. However, both pieces of hardware have their own quirks, and I think people will either love them or hate them.

Did you enable the LED Chasing option? If you press step while holding function in step mode, the sequencer LED will Chasing positions 1-16 regardless of the sequence page. Switching the mode again will return to the previous movement.
