Quick questionā¦ what does the little square at the beginning of the waveform mean?
And I know Im blaspheming. But I saying that the RAW is analog Moog sound, and swarm is a little Juno like?
It means that it resets the phase of the wave shape.

I know! I was waiting to play with the sounds blindly, then I was going to watch the videos and read the manualā¦ Im trying to really enjoy the act of discovery and naivetĆ©ā¦ !
im so happy!
Plus it feels like the first night of a blockbuster summer action flick, coming in hear, playing with the sounds and talking with each otherā¦!

Get all the beat making in which you can with that energy (would be my best advice). Iām feeling that too right now and just made my favorite thing that Iāve created with Syntakt so far.
Also, it is great seeing the nice vibes happening here today!

I will sayā¦ the more I listen to what these new sounds areā¦ they arenāt that much different from the tone of the other machinesā¦ you can definatly tell its from the same DNAā¦ but the subtle character differences really do sound amazing to me.
Im tryin to say is that they definitely sound just as good as the other ones, and are not wildly differentā¦ The syntakt got that SOUND.
Is it just me, or is the Syntakt the box to beat right now? I havenāt touched my TR8s since this came out, and I love that thing. Im cheating on my baby with a new side chick.

oh definitely! My favorite pattern only used one of each of the new machines. Iām just really excited right now and I think thatās always healthy for a boost of creativity.

Now swarm is weird thoughā¦ its like a chrorusy, reverby synth sound with a bunch of vinyl simā¦ its like a bunch of effects all in oneā¦ I was looking for something like thisā¦ even sounds drifty with detune all the way outā¦
Waitā¦ I just had to look at the screenā¦ the first is waveform noise distortionā¦ second animation is the dfrift soundā¦ and the detune is little plates to bounce the soundā¦
this graphic design is amazing.
I do wish the fundamental sub, which i gather is a sub oscillator would be more beefy.
Editā¦ taking the noise and animation out brings some of the beef back. reEDITā¦ its more like turning down the mixā¦ is taking out the other voices? and letting the sub through more?
It might look that way, but he has count in enabled (that you can enable from the metronome page). Look at the flashing record symbol and youāll see that he just starts at the fifth beat (that comes after four count in beats).

anyone notice any presets for the new machines?
I noticed this as wellā¦ looks like itās initiated the same way as regular live record mode so I wonder if itās configurable in the settings? I havenāt dug in yet to explore but Iām not seeing anything about it in the latest manual either.

Yep, and itās blurry but tempo appears to be double time, which makes it harder to see as 1 measure count-in.
Enjoying the new machines and think the harmonics of both add a lot of welcome harmonious, soft, high end that had been really hard to dial in before.
(A sonic space that had been putting undue pressure on those poor hats, maybe theyāll blend in a little better now. Even more unrelatedly, in the demo, I thought Rickyās hats were on point).

This update makes me really really happy! It is what I was missing on the Syntakt most: A melodic engine. would I like something like the SY Raw as Digital engine? Absolutely! would I like it to have 3 Osc for simple chords? hell yeah, but with this update alone, Syntakt is more than I hoped it to be already!
