Pam’s new workout or Pam’s pro workout? I can get new for half the price so trying to work out of it’s half as good.

I actually find it easier. On the digitakt I just copy the pattern and start making small changes or mute some channels and straight away you have a variation. The transition can be difficult but if it’s copied from the previous pattern it is usually a coherent change at least.

There are loads and a few of them don’t hold much interest for me but it is amazing that you can swap them out and try something entirely different. Certainly makes it feel like a better investment.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, lots of points to consider here. You’re advice about just getting just a couple actually pushed me to jump in and make the order so hopefully I’ll be receiving Morphagene and Desmodus Versio this week! I came across Desmodus while looking for distortion and realised I had to get it, it seems like it would be perfect for what I want.

I think I agree about Maths, the ability to have another drone could be very useful. I hadn’t seen QARV but it looks like beast. I will have to research and think about the modulation aspect more, I was also looking at Ornament & Crime which looks incredible as well but I’m not sure how I feel about the screen and menus. Hard to dismiss that and Pams though considering how much they can do.

I’ve been looking at the Roucha Legio, which is how I came across Desmodus, and it’s very tempting with it having distortion/shaping and filter in one smallish stereo module. It’s a little pricey and I can’t find much in the way of opinions at the moment but I guess I’ll see how it goes with Desmodus, if the distortion there is enough then perhaps a cheaper filter will be all that’s necessary.

I’m really glad you mentioned the output module, I realised that I do need one with an additional input so that I can incorporate my existing gear with the minimal connections I have available for the computer/speakers. I had some trouble finding one that had a) more than one stereo input, b) level for main out and c) level for headphones. There was one by 4ms that looked good but it’s was bigger than I’d ideally want and a bit overkill so in the end I went for the Make Noise XOH. I’ll see how this goes, seems like it will do everything I need at the moment and wasn’t too expensive.

Thanks again, I’m starting to realise that this journey never ends and quickly becomes very expensive!
