in the 909 i would like to have some more identical open_hh.wav in a sDrumOsc. i would like to have four. it would make the 909 my hh-machine. anybody knows how to load the sample thats already in the sampledrumoscilator one more time and get rid of the bassdrum for example. i tried but it opens a dialog where its askes for akai samples. its like it not accepting just any samples.

anyhow i would like to know which samples can be loaded and how to do it. i like 909 very much. trying to find out how the pattern sequencer works with altering and storing programlines. with its capacity and the hint to sync it with cubase its a nice rhytm machine.

another question: normally in my set up what comes out of the modular is of low volume i record it and then i normalize the audio. this initial low volume of 909 is a bit of a pity because it makes the monitoring a bit strange i have to turn down my bass and kiks very much to hear the non normalized 909 sound. any hint for this?

Hi, you can load samples from scope's file browser, or by dragging samples from windows explorer.(risky for crash) Only 16bit files allowed or you will get a nasty sound. For the second question, you must normalize the sample before you insert it or it's volume would be much lower than modular osc's.

There is a small design flaw with an easy workaround:


when the dialog opens it looks for akai program files that can't really be opened because the sample osc's only load single samples.
Well, you just have to to select "all files types" in the dropdown menu where the type of file is specified in the dialog and you'll see what you look for.

wauw great thanks, it works. its a lot of work in the beginning, normalizing the drum samples i want to use. but after this its very easy.then i have my working drum sets.
i have the idea that the combination of 909 and eds16 makes nice grooves. each with its specific sound. now looking fwd unravel the secrets of the pattern seq. and i hoipe i get this clockdivider with start and stop installed so i can sync with cubase.

I've never been happy of using the clock divider start stop from Cubase operation.
There is a much better way that can be found in several patches I've made and in some that were released with the first outcome of modular3 by CW ( coincidence? :wink: )

You have to get the gate out from MVC, send it to a Gate Or module, then connect this signal to the start stop input of the clock divider and to the reset inputs of all the sequencer modules.

In this way you will always have the clock restarted from every MIDI note you play, wich is infinitely more tight than any other midi signal coming from Cubase, with the other advantage that you can decide with the duration of the midi note how long must the sequencer modules run, instead of having them free running and just restarted once.
In this way you can also have better operation leaving the Midi clock module as Internal, with the same bpm as the song, all will be much tighter.

or the best way to use a recorded flexor ramp in cubase to drive flexor sequencers. Sample accuracy... but be careful not to route that signal to your speakers! (you must be careful where you record these wavs, as with an accidental "search" and listen you can fall in one Ramp and blow your speakers...)
In my system their is a problem with the s-drum osc (as with every scope sampler) makes my system crash after a while. So i only use osc's in modular but their is no problem with that as i can route anything from cubase.
