I also did not like the way presets were saved and recalled. I did get maybe 2 good songs out of the Digitone, before I decided to sell it. Luckily the opsix came along and it had the FM I liked. The sounds of the Digitone were not all that hot for what I wanted to do. I can answer both with this, I sold my Novation Circuit Monostation to help buy a Digitone after the prices went insane for a little while on the Monostation. Is there anything you regret selling… or regret buying? I only use Logic to do some simple post production, like compression and the like, of my music work. I’m an IT professional by day and do not want to sit at my computer when making music. I hate making music ‘inside the box’ as they say. What software do you wish was hardware and vice versa? I tried to use an iPad for a while, but I just open the web browser and get distracted. It helps me come up with the basic structure of a song that I will translate later using my more at home/not mobile equipment. I used the original Circuit from Novation for years and then switched just recently into the Circuit Rhythm, that I load up with ambient and video game samples. What setup do you bring on holiday/tour/commute etc.? Novation Circuit Rhythm If it had that second full ADSR envelope and a mod matrix with assignable parameters and sources past the few “hard wired” sources and destinations, it would be perfect. While it is a nice improvement over the original, it removes a full secondary ADSR envelope. Do you have an ‘almost’ perfect bit of kit? What would you change? Korg Minilogue XD And if the effect is super cool you get both depth and speed for modulation like on the Night Sky. Same goes with the mechanics knob on the Volante, it goes from great tape delay into a way back machine that sounds like it’s about to start eating your tape loop and spit it on the floor in an act of rebellion of not getting it fixed. You start to push the modulation and it goes from huge reverb to something magical. Take the Cloud algorithm on the Big Sky for example. Even different algorithms on the same reverb will often have different modulation characteristics. Most reverbs sound really good in my opinion, but modulation can set them apart and how they implement it. It would be the modulation controls/knobs on either a reverb or delay. Favourite knob/fader/switch on a piece of gear and why? Strymon Nightsky
