Hey J, hope you & your crew are keeping well man!decair wrote:Not, much as an effects unit other than a filter, as it was designed to be a distortion beast. I route mine as aux through Ableton and set limit/compressor to mimic the iotine core...best filter i have in my setup is the moog minitaur...bass and filter on the in...
Will definitely give that a try.

Re: Sherman Filterbank / Techno / Sound Design Thread
Bought it yesterday! Also interested in controlling it via midi. Someone did this with a esx or
with somerhing else? Somebody used a pedal to controll it?

I got the fb v1, and really love it. Ive had it for half a year maybe, but still feel there is lot to learn about it. Been using it mostly on percusion to make it sound more "alive" and dynamic, and I feel it does the trick for me, but dont have that much experience with other analog filters.

Herman is an all-round sweet and very helpful guy.ICN wrote:Contact Yerman Herman..
He's quick on the emails back. I'm sure he'll keep you on the straight.
I went to pick up my 2x2 Sherman at his place,
and when he showed me the Rodec Restyler as well, I spent another hour DJ'ing with his DJ setup while checking out the Restyler and eventually got one of those as well...
Herman rules !!

I once read someone (not sure if it was here or on mnml.nl when I was still active there (seems like ages ago now) ) saying how you can just hit a certain key on your keyboard,Mslwte wrote:something ive never tried is using midi on the FB, has anyone here used it and does it sync modulations in any way?
and that send a MIDI message which puts the Sherman in "non-overdrive" mode.
In other words, the Sherman is standard (every time you turn it on) put in a mode that it will kick in as soon as the input gets too loud,
but you can shut this off by hitting the right key on your controller keyboard.
Can't remember which key that was though.
Haven't tried it out yet either.
Before Pedro arrived in august, I ahdn't turned my 2x2 on in at least 6 months...
Shame on me.
Yes, I know, I have too much gear.

Going to his place (probably) next week. If it's not in the manual, I'll try not to forget and ask him.Hades wrote:Can't remember which key that was though.

Re: Sherman Filterbank / Techno / Sound Design Thread
I've been using mine to effect machinedrum patches, one of my favorite things to do is to leave the gated reverb on and distort that along with the drum hit, makes for some really cool metalic misty sounds.
Did a series of jams where I recorded a whole machinedrum kit in mono through it and got some great results, kinda squashed everything together in a very dynamic way, i'll upload the demo is anyone's' interested in how it sounds, its pretty spooky though

my Jomox run through my Sherman 2x2 when it had just arrived in the studio a few years ago
private link though, since I don't quite consider this an interesting piece of music

That's cool man. Such a beautiful crunch from the FB. Did you have it running a % wet Tom, or was it set up, sending stuff to an aux or something?

Re: Sherman Filterbank / Techno / Sound Design Thread
This is may be the wrong thread to ask this but would you benefit from an Iotine Core if you have a single Sherman unit already? Seriously considering to sell my Octatrack for that piece. I need more distortion!
Re: Sherman Filterbank / Techno / Sound Design Thread
if you do get that, by all means, let us know what it's like,
I was once planning on getting one of those.
but to be fair, I just suck at making distorted techno,
melodic techno/house is where it's at for me,
and you can try and force yourself all you want, but knowing what you're good at and for what you suck,
is just another way of moving forward, no ?

Re: Sherman Filterbank / Techno / Sound Design Thread
Will do mate. I just want to make the right decision. I do love the Sherman but I don't really use it much for that type of "All-in" distortion (no offense Mslwte I do love and find your sound very inspirational hehe). But so far the Sherman has become more of a shaping tool for percussions using the filters with lower gain other than using it on kicks and low end stuff.
I suck at distorted techno too. But I want to explore that world a bit more. It is a bit forced and maybe overkill at my stage but I need new ways to make my music, subjectively, and this could perhaps be the right tool for me. Octatrack is just collecting dust since a few months back now since I started to sequence and process my recordings ITB more. This could be a good "trade" I think.

Re: Sherman Filterbank / Techno / Sound Design Thread
man I wished for years I could make Birmingham techno.
Really.
And I guess I could just analyze all the stuff, and then keep on trying,
but you know, why not first build further on what I'm good at,
and then, when I'm more than good enough in that genre, and it gets a pure comfort zone and I get bored,
then I can still start to try making other stuff.
