what happened to 'broken drum machine'? More MP3s

[liqih]

that's a nice little groovy tune mate, <grin>

really like it, of course of the sounds but for the minimal evolution too

[Juanjo]

we will add cracks and diffeernt knobs, but the layout so far is this, this is the skin mock-up, feel free to critic anything

Looks nice and pretty easy to understand and use, good job here

Regarding the sequencer, I kinda "voted" for it, but after looking at the skin mock-up and playing with the alpha a bit more I think I'll reconsider... I'd definitely trade the seq for some more actual dsp i.e. most of the ways you can make a seq malfunction involve randomisation, misfirings, etc all of which is rather easy to do externally with host sequencing and/or midi plugins... but on the other hand the vcos sound too good to be so simple (I'd love one or two more parameters per-vco to increase the range of possible timbres/variations) and the malfunction possibilities soundwise are also big enough to merit some detailed per-vco "errors" as well... I don't know, perhaps I'm alone on this and the seq is the way to go for most people...

[liqih]

very interesting view, let's hear what the others say

[Juanjo]

layering with the vcos yes, "user samples" not so far, "sample manipulation"
not separate from the chaos functions which will affect each voice separately,

basically in the first release the PCM will be only a transients enhancement
using samples layered with the VCOs

Oh I noticed that you edited this comment... makes a lot of sense, now I don't see the urge to support user samples either (although it would be nice in the future) and I clearly see the function of pcm in the gui mockup. Maybe an independent pitch control for the pcm waves would be nice, but that's about it

A very NUSofting GUI, which is a good thing. Unique and easy on the eyes.

btw, blortblort, nice demo.

thanks, bobsled and liqih!
ya know- I wouldn't be opposed to more ways to mangle the brokeness as a sound generator. Now that I've had my mits on this, I don't think that it's really necessary to complicate it with a broken sequencer as well... but as I say- more ways to mangle, the merrier

Excellent, I've been waiting for news on this one for a long time! The alpha is already making some interesting / different sounds to anything else in my drum arsenal, I'll be following this one!

I'm thrilled for BDM!! As far as the GUI, I definitely think a few 'replacement' and 'missing' knobs are in order!

[bobsled]

" 'replacement' and 'missing' knobs ", I like that. Enhances the broken image but wouldn't confuse the user.

[liqih]

what about broken "easter eggs"? (sorry I couldn't resist)

Thanks for the feedback MarsHottentot

I dig the mismatch knobs idea as well

@ MarsHottentot- that's a great sig

Mismatched knobs could be cool - would have to be optional I think (maybe swappable knobs like on EVE 2?).

What broken features do you think of? I would like to see ultra crude pitch-shifting like on a bent circuit.

[bobsled]

"Ultra Crude" as a quality setting for pitch-shift, etc., does seem appropriate. More control over the brokenness, yes?
