  1. I'm replacing one of the line faders in my qfo with an innofader so I can practise cuts with both hands easily but I've not got the little cables to power the line fader from the crossfader (another innofader)

     

    Has anyone got some I can nab? I need the little distribution board with 3 connectors and the wire from that to the crossfader and that to the linefader

  2. omg how fucking useful is the OG Flare.

     

    Favourite new scratch confirmed.

     

    Learning to alternate normal and reverse is hard though. Any tips?

     

    alternate them with orbits is a good way to get them down, just keep 2 clicking and do f f f b b b f f b f b b record movement which gives you a 2 click orbit, og flare, reverse og flare

  3. i had a look around to see if there was any way of getting the samples out of scratch loopers without recording them but no luck, it seems that its not worth the bother.

     

    i saw i few apps like motek said that let you turn a flash .exe into a .swf, didn't try any though.

     

    Flash decompiler trillix on the mac works a treat. I've got loads of looper beats on my iPhone and they loop perfectly.

     

    I paid for the software but well worth it IMO. The trial version lets you get 3 sounds at a time so if you've got the patience it's not so bad

    johnny 1 move seems to be guilty of this too.. in this vid theres a pattern in 8s then later put into patterns of 6's being called overtimed

     

     

    Guilty as charged - I figured overtime and under time are reasonable extrapolations of double time and half time (which just mean doing it twice as fast or half speed and are recognised terms)

     

    What better way of getting them into the turntablist lexicon than youtube? I think I did try and explain what I meant in the forum thread I did it it for but can't really remember.

     

    I think this is a jackhammer:

     

     

    And Broke, if you stick a slice before or after your ttm you get a really nice pattern that gets back to an even 8 sounds:

     

  5. "beats in a note" just seems to give the impression that beats are to be counted in multiples of notes when generally speaking beats are fractions of a note

     

    No it doesn't - that would be like saying 'orange segments in an orange' implies that orange segments are made up of a number of oranges.

     

    You have completely misunderstood me there, suffice it to say because you don't pluralise fractions the phase "beats in a note" confused me at first.

  6. The duration of the beat is relative to the note, so perhaps it's just a round about way of saying it but if a beat is a quarter of a note then there are also four beats in a note... So the number on the bottom of a time signature incidentally also signifies the fraction of a note that a beat is.

     

    I suppose if you'd said "how many beats in a whole note" it wouldn't have sturck me as a little odd at first.

  7. Sorry - it was a little past my bedtime - I did mean crotchet.

     

     

    What I was getting at is 2/2 has longer beats not beats with more notes in, so they way you phrased it seemed not quite right ( I didn't say exactly wrong!)

     

    At the end of the day, the top number is the number of beats per bar, and the bottom is how long they are.

  8. wouldnt it be 4/3? cos it goes 1234 1234 1234 ?

     

    That's not quite how time signature works, the bottom number is how many beats make up a note, top number is how many beats are in a bar.

     

    I've never really got to grips with this. I understand "how many beats are in a bar", but I don't understand "how many beats make up a note". Care to enlighten me?

     

     

    the bottom number is how long a beat is (how many beats in a note isn't quite right). x/4 means the beats are quarter notes, x/8 means they are eighth notes and half as long (for the non-americans crotchet and quaver respectively)

     

    This excerpt from wikipedia of helps clarify why you need 2 elements to the time signature

    4

    : A simple signature, comprising three quarter notes. It has a basic feel of (Bold denotes a stressed beat): one two three (as in a waltz) Each quarter note might comprise two eighth-notes (quavers) giving a total of six such notes, but it still retains that three-in-a-bar feel: one and two and three and

    8

    : Theoretically, this can be thought of as the same as the six-quaver form of

    3

    4

    above with the only difference being that the eighth note is selected as the one-beat unit. But whereas the six quavers in

    had been in three groups of two,

  9. iv just checked my cables and im using single jack to single jack... and as i say it only happens when the lad is on blackberry messenger

     

    Is it balanced or unbalanced connections (i.e. is the jack in 3 sections like a "stereo" lead or 2 sections like a "mono" lead)?

     

    Balanced leads cancel interference, whatever the source, so if you're not already using balanced leads then switching might help.

  10. I had a major interference (eveytime I moved the mouse you could here sounds throughout the speakers) problem with my rockits using xlr connectors until I discovered that using a different cable sorted it.

     

    I think the cables that sorted the interference had the shield and pin 1 wired bridged but I would have to double check to be sure.
