How to boost CV? (Buchla Red Panel)
Hello I am interested in the Buchla Red Panel 158 VCO, however, don't have enough space in my rack for the 156 CV Processor, but I heard that the VCO doesn't get proper CV / pitch (the signal is arriving to weak) from regular sequencers and thus has to run through the CV Processor module to "get a boost" or something. Could I recreate this step with a simple offsetting (up) of the pitch CV? I would really like a solution for this, as I think the 158 sounds brilliant!

E-mu Systems had a string of successes in the '80s, but the E-Drum was unfortunately not one of them. It was released for the first time in 1984 in the wake of their Drumulator but was not destined for the same greatness. Of course, all the blame can not be leveled at E-mu as it was actually Clavia DMI in Sweden that developed the actual hardware. E-mu Systems experienced issues with the E-Drum right off the bat as they needed to perform considerable work on the electronics as well as the mechanical tolerances before they could officially start with production. This was a big setback for the already cash strapped E-mu Systems as they were relying on sales from the Drumulator to stay afloat after delays in getting their Emulator II on the market. Unfortunately, even after the E-Drum reached the market, it failed to really find its target audience due to the price as well as relying on keyboard distributors to try and sell something aimed at drummers.
In terms of hardware, the E-Drum consists of a single, touch-sensitive drum module. It offers 40dB of volume range and all its internal sounds stem from a removable cartridge. This cartridge holds up to four 8-bit samples that are stored in 16kB of EPROM. There were actually a number of different sound cartridges available and these could be swapped out for new sounds. The E-Drum also supported optional hardware assembly, which allowed users to construct their own modular drum kit.
Notable features of the E-Drum includes a pitch control as well as a Decay control. With the pitch control, it is possible to tune the pitch up or down or leave it in the middle position for no effect. The sensitivity of the pad can be adjusted and the loudness depends on how hard you hit the pad. The idea was to make the E-Drum suitable for any style from light finger taps to heavy sticking. Finally, the front panel also has controls for adjusting the bass and treble content of the sound. The back of the unit holds the slot for the sound cartridge as well as connectors for audio output. In addition, it has a multi-purpose control input, which allows the module to be triggered from synthesizer gates as well as audio signals. Although the E-Drum is powered by two 9-volt batteries, it also has an optional AC power adapter on the back.
The E-Drum was interesting for its time, but it is obviously very outdated compared to decent drum machines and never found its niche as E-mu expected.

The Jupiter-XM by Roland was designed to continue the legacy of this range that started with the Jupiter-4 all the way back in 1978. The series has built a reputation for being top of the line products with premium builds and advanced sound technologies. For the Jupiter-XM, Roland has opted to use this classic design and premium build quality, but merge it with a powerful new synth engine. The result is a synthesizer that manages to faithfully recreate most of the sought-after instruments in their product history. Best of all, Roland was able to fit all of this into one relatively light package. The Jupiter-XM can be powered using eight AA batteries and has its own stereo Bluetooth speakers.
Although the Jupiter brand is quite well known, it's been eight years since Roland made use of it for their Jupiter 50 and 80. There is very little to fault about this synth in terms of build quality as it has aluminum ends to match its black brushed metal panel. The design also incorporates the iconic orange stripes of the range and it has a 37-key slim keyboard with responsive keys and three full octaves. The only drawback of this keyboard is that it doesn't have any aftertouch. Those looking for a bigger keyboard will have to wait for the Jupiter-X, which will have 61 keys. The Jupiter-XM has a graphic LCD that is 128 x 64 dots and plenty of knobs, sliders, and buttons that feel comfortable as well as durable. It is worth mentioning that the small size of the LCD can make it a little cumbersome to tweak a lot of parameters. A lot of menu diving is required to get things just right, so a larger display would have been a boon.
Roland boasts that the Jupiter-Xm has a sound engine flexible enough to reproduce the sounds of everything from the Jupiter-8, and Juno-106 to the SH-101, XV-5080, and even modern RD pianos. Also, it offers all the sounds of the classic Roland drum machines, like the TR-808, TR-909, and CR-78. Just as impressive is its I-Arpeggio, which makes use of artificial intelligence to create complementary drum parts, chords, basslines and arpeggiated lines from your input. These are a big step up from canned backing tracks as they are intelligently generated.
Overall, the Roland Jupiter-XM is not cheap, but it does offer impressive emulation of all their classic analog hardware in one portable design.

Sequencing Novation Circuit with a BeatstepPro
Hello, Looking to get rid of my volca beats. Was thinking of replacing it with a Novation Circuit as my main drums and something to take away with me to still write music. Has anyone used a BeatstepPro to trigger the Circuit? I guess my concern is the Circuit has an inbuilt sequencer so don't know if that would make it redundant. Thanks

Volca Beats and Berhinger MS-1 clock issue
I've clocked my volca beats to my MS-1 using a cv cable out of the volca beats, and compared to the volca beats the sequences from the MS-1 are in time with the drum sequence but seem far slower, like they're at half speed. Is there anyway to change this? (sorry if this is obvious im new to analogue equipment and im used to syncing using digital synthesizers.)

Contacting Akai does anybody know anybody?
Hi I hope everyone is doing well. As many of you may know I’m totally blind I know this post will be an incredibly long shot but here goes. This year at namm I was particularly interested in the new akai mpc1, and I heard in the videos how it shares an OS with the other new MPC’s in the range, so I came up with an idea to build a screen reader into the OS for the touchscreen like I have on my iPhone. I know that akai is an incredibly big corporation and that product design and that feature implementation takes an incredibly long time. I could try and reach out to them with a feature request or support request regarding this but I don’t think it would have much of an affect. So what I’m asking is does anybody know anybody at akai that I could talk to about this? Or does anybody have any advice about how I could get in touch with them at a more senior level to discuss this? I feel that if the OS had a screen reader they would get a significant amount of users buying it. I know this post may be slightly unrealistic and somewhat of a pipe dream but everyone’s help and advice with this would be much appreciated thank you very much in advance kind regards Trey.

Mutable Instruments; Where to start?
Been eyeing these modules for years, but have always avoided them as I don't really understand almost ANY of the modules (and I used to find the Easter-like colors on the modules to be off-putting, but I am over it. Haha). Where does one start with this company? I've got a spare Make Noise 104hp skiff here (and would consider going over that if need be). I have a full modular full of utility modules, etc. I am mainly looking for the essential/ most fun to play with modules to get the Mutable Instruments experience. Hit me!
