@@qwerwerterytrtyutyuiyuiouiop Glad to hear that it's helpful! Thanks a lot for checking it out! Enjoy your 0-Coast👍🏻!

@@laurenkenney9813 well, i can't recall if the kit and program saving/loading is shown in this video or the next one? but all sounds get made directly on the Drum. so, you can, for example, load program 16, maybe the sequencing patterns are blank, or maybe not? then you can do the load kit operation, just to see what the current kit is (the flashing led), the hit func to get out of that. so, say it's kit 16. then the 6 pads are the 6 sounds for that kit. you can modify those with the synthesis parameters, make 6 entirely new sounds. it you like the kit you've made then you can save it. now, if you save it to kit 16 then that's fine. BUT, if you don't want to write over kit 16, save it to, say, kit 15? this is fine, and program 16 will be using kit 15, just as you would like. BUT, that is a change to program 16, so if you just turn the Drum off or go to a different program, when you come back to program 16 it will still load kit 16, back to the original. so, what you need to make sure of doing, is to save the program if you change the kit number. that said, if you like the new kit but don't want modified sequences you can reload program 16, load kit 15, and then save program 16. i know this is sort of a mouthful. but, the 6 drum sounds are made live on the Drum, those sounds can be stored as a kit, the sequences are made live, and those are stored as program. then the last detail is to make sure that a program loads the correct kit. a lot of times you'll have multiple programs, say 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, all using the same kit - say they all use kit 15 - then with pattern chaining you can make a longer sequence and if you want to change a drum sound you only have to do it in one spot. there are also ways to copy sounds. i hope this helps!

This is such a thorough response. I can't believe you answered so fast! Yay internet! Yay Undulations! I think either I'm not understanding something or I'm missing something very simple. When, in the video, you pop into your kit with the three basic sounds on 1, 2, and 3, with 4-6 at level 0. You made those sounds...then how did you save 1 to 1, the next to 2, and the last to 3? I see how you save the group as a kit....I'm just not smart enough to save the individual parts.

@@laurenkenney9813 well, there really isn't any saving of the individual parts. when you save a kit it saves each of the part sounds as it is. i think the only way to, for example, make a new kit out of soumds from other kits is by copying and pasting. make sense? feel free to ask more questions and i will do my best👍🏻

Thanks very much for checking it out🙏🏼!

I really appreciate the encouragement🙏🏼! I've been doing various other projects and family stuff, but getting back on camera soon (I basically have the next video scripted, just gotta knock it out😅). Thanks again for the kind words! Best wishes!

Yeah it’s just a midi controller. We don’t need more midi controllers. We need more compact analog synth/beat/production devices. Musicians shouldn’t need to plug their instrument into a computer to make sounds.

Thanks very much for checking it out🙏🏼!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching🙏🏼!

You're right that you need to co-ground the Werkstatt and a piece of external gear. There are a couple of routes you can take: 1) use the audio ground. it's possible that just plugging the two devices into an audio mixer will connect the grounds. you can also use an audio splitter to create open access to the Werkstatt ground (ground is the plug's sleeve conductor, the signal is the plug's tip conductor. you can do stuff like lop off the plug and connect to the ground to the remaining wire. 2) the screws in the Werkstatt faceplate are ground, so you can hook a ring or spade lug to one of the screws and connect that to the other gear. a lot of ways to proceed, but a reasonable temporary method is just with two alligator cables: ground alligator cable goes from the sleeve of the incoming 1/8" patch cable to a (slightly loosened) panel screw on the Werkstatt, signal alligator cable goes from the tip of the incoming patch cable to one side of a tiny patch cable, other side into the Wekstatt. Taping stuff to a board can make this setup easier and prevent stuff making accidental contact. Wekstatt is quite robust to voltage but try to start with stuff turned down. Careful hooking Werkstatt to other small-cable synths, sometimes they use a lower max voltage. Best of luck👍🏻!

@@undulations thanks. I just got a wire from a ground point on the PCB and fed it out in a crack in the chassis. then i stuck that in a breadboard

Hey, thanks a lot for checking it out🙏🏼! Best of luck experimenting!

Hey, it has been a minute, but I think there was an update that really changed some of the sequencer stuff. I recall that it made some of the stuff I was doing, like changing sequences, no longer worked. Anyway, not sure if this is the root of the issue you have encountered? Do arpeggios work? In sequencer mode, can you start the sequence by pressing a keyboard key? Let me know. I probably need to update mine but I can try to help.

@@undulations ohhhh that makes sense, I'll have to check what version I have and look up how the sequencer works with it. Thank you!!

@@undulations yea so I just checked and when in sequencer mode I can't start the sequence, pressing any keyboard key does not make amy sound

@@viktorplevnes9958 Well, I guess the first thing to check is one of the Arturia sequences. So, make sure to save stuff if you need to, and then go down to the lower preset numbers and scan for a preset with a sequence (arp/seq light blue is probably the best way to find one). Then try the basics: play button, sequence B button, sequence A button, stop (play button again), and see if the keyboard plays the sequence (transposed). Let me know👍🏻.

@@undulations I figured it out. Since I am playing dawless I had to change the source to INT...it was set to USB before...so if someone else is asking and looking for an answer, utility>sync>source> INT

Thanks very much🙏🏼 Glad to hear it!

Thanks very much for checking it out🙏🏼! ps If you do Instagram there is a slightly longer post of it that includes a smoother entry into where this clip starts. dr_nim2014 is the account👍🏻.

Thanks very much for checking it out!

Glad that it's helpful! Many thanks for checking it out!

Thank you😀, I thought so too, made a longer loop of it.

Thanks very much for checking it out! I'm getting together some patches for the next video, hopefully some good demos. Agreed that the Arp has been pretty surprising!

Yep, accurate👍🏻!
