wow - really! - I needs to know - screw the incoming flag, how did you get the texture on the exposed area but make a smooth recess detail - is this home level printing - you could have a tidy wee business kitting out AHFXs for folk not so into the dark grey character knob, it’s got a pro look, but it’s the most conspicuous of input controls where it arguably should be the least
if you’d rather PM me any info on what calibre of 3d printer can deliver those results then feel free - surely it’s not a consumer level thing - 3d printed stuff I see around the internet, looks obviously ‘built’ up (like sedimentary layers) and could never pass as a ‘bought item’
Now that they have a digital FX box on the market, i wonder how long it will take before they add another effect to it in firmware, and whether they will port any of the fx to the other boxes as a taste teaser (besides the already included delay and verb). Also really interested in whether they have plans to integrate the fx parameter naming automatically into the CCs on Elektron sequencers. Sounds really good in the @Voltagectrlr video.
I haven’t heard anyone say they are different. You have the same parameters present for Pre-Delay, Decay Time, Shelving Frequency, Shelving Gain, HFP, LFP. On the Digitakt you have Pre or Post Compressor, here on the AHFX you instead have an option for Send, Return, or Mix modes. Volume instead of Amount.
The first 6 mentioned parameters are generally what you use to shape the overall reverb. On the Digitakt you can choose on a per track basis how much of that configured reverb is applied, here it goes to everything. Up to you what you prefer.
Even if they port any of the FX to their Digis or a new flagship for instance, it’s not like it totally defeats the purpose of the +FX, because in either case it is just one instance/chain
I use a number of different tape machines, big and small, serviced and purposefully messed up in my studio. I would actually really like to hear if the warble on the AH would make me feel like I can ditch some of the hunks of metal.
I believe someone at Elektron (Ess? Cenk?) once said here that all the reverbs were the same, it’s just that they had different material to work with. I don’t see why AHFXLGBT+ would be any different. Why tamper with something that is working well?
I guess the only thing I’ll say is it’s easy to see how Elektron will make money in the case where folks aren’t aware of the settings they have on devices they already own.
I really like the sound of it so far. I think it is a uniquely Elektron style of tape emulation. Carrying over some of that naming convention/inspiration from the recent “Werp”
The effects have the same parameters as the Digi’s and i think Elektron would have made it clear if they’ve created new effect algorithms for this product. But of course i’m just guessing.
I am so close to try to flash the AH FX firmware to the MK2. I’ll asume the FX version has a updated processor and RAM but what if that assumption is wrong?
