dragging things manually is also useful for improv.
lemme take a look at mine (waiting for my battery to power up).
apple *is* a pita to get stuff in and out. audioshare can be useful for moving stuff around internally.

Well the Hilbish Sol + Pessimiser combo is working with the Medusa synth. I’m pretty impressed with the textures I can get. Guess that means recording at some point.
For now I plan to use it old school like a sampler.
In goes the sample with my apogee.....record out with headphone jack.
Will use other features later I think.
@ugly_bassplayer
so, ya know that little cloud thing in the upper-righthand corner?
touch that
press the cog next to it (settings and info)
the “i” tells you functions
the “101” takes you through a tutorial.

I didnt see you could scroll down the "i" menu. Now I see the functions.
(Dad brain.....)

What exactly is your live preset you previously mentioned ?
Also, any way to make a long sample move forward like in record mode???
Like a ribbon passing through the grain clusters.

Did you see the video I posted about the hack to have all zoom fx for the ms pedals??
Yeah, I got through a couple minutes of it before I got too annoyed and turned it off. To be honest, the MS60b has so many effects I don't need to play around with computer crap. Remember my earlier rant(s) about guitar pedals needing firmware updates. Yuck. Holes in walls and bloody knuckles and so forth, I'm sure you understand.
And it's also a PITA. Every time I pull it out of the closet I have to relearn how to use it, and I swear "this time I'll remember". Maybe now that it's back on my board, maybe this time I'll remember. When I do get it it is a handy general purpose pedal.
Thought you all would appreciate this. I had no idea it existed!!! I'm blissing out right now!!!!
It did my head a lot of good when I stopped thinking of those weedily-deedily-doo parts as "solos" and simply started differentiating between "foreground" and "background" textures...which then also allowed me to do what @lordradish describes as "classic Berlin school" mixing (though tbh I know absolutely nothing about classic Berlin school, having never listened to Tangerine Dream) and push some seemingly foreground textures into the background, and vice-versa.. I find it helpful when constructing music, and mixing, to think about Where Do I Want To Direct The Listener's Attention? and sometimes you can capture focus with note density, and then sometimes a dense, focus-grabbing part can resemble a classic "solo" in many ways. But that's just icing. Or unfortunate, depending on your point of view.
More Ornette is always a good thing.
Except when he's on violin......ouch that is painful.....
^^^This. My large pedalboard, despite being entirely covered in velcro, has 90% of the pedals also strapped down with nylon tiewraps, just because, well, velcro.
My smaller pedalboard only works with velcro-only because it lives in a roadcase that has such a tight fit that the foam lid permanently holds the velcro locked down...god help me if I ever try to open the case upside-down.
Velcro is why I don't have a pedalboard. I like having different pedals at each gig. Sometimes I bring everything (rarely) and sometimes I limit myself on purpose. Either way velcro doesn't work for me. I saw a new company to me recently that has a bracket system to hold pedals in place. Looked really cool. Maybe when I'm gigging again I'll look for those again.
Here's the board company I was referring to. Not ideal for getting as many pedals crammed into one space, but a great way to switch out pedals for different gigs.

If I had my druthers pedals and pedalboard systems would all be standardized and modular. Pedals would be like video game cartridges that you just plug into an open slot on your board. Remove and replace in seconds. Of course, that would make pedal designs more boring, and it's all fantasy anyway...
i just made/programmed clouds with no samples. i had them around the edge. you record something or load something and then do your thing. if i found something i liked, i’d do a “save as.”
you can program a cloud’s movement across a sample, iirc.

i like velcro.
i used to make my own wooden pedal boards/cases from plywood with carpet on them that the velcroed pedals would latch to.
now i use fomecore. it’s easy to cut, pretty strong and light. it can tear the top off when removing velcro, but i don’t do that much.
i don’t have full-scale pedal boards, though; i use modular stations that i add to/move around depending on the situation. i keep them in small pelican cases. makes them easier to move and setup, ime.
