I haven't sent out my TR-626 yet, but when I finally do, it's gonna be crazy!

I think there might be some samplers on that site that can be bent. I'll take another look.


I got one too..... :P I am such a GEAR WHORE!! :oops:

Are you gonna have your's bent too? I'd like to bend my own, but I'd rather not fukk up a perfectly good unit. For now, I'm experimenting with bending cheap toys like these, which you can find at Toys R Us for $5.... http://www.beatblenders.com/. If I find enough glitches to bend, I'll pick up a few more, since they can be linked by an RJ45 connector to sync together. After that, I'll bend my Speak & Spell, Speak & Read, and Speak & Math units I copped off ebay.

i got a tube pre-amp, it's good for making sounds dirty. But it doesn't sound like that glitch

with all the people sad about the glitch missing, i'm surprised no has suggested retuning and rerecording samples internally?

take samples you want to make dirtier and tune them up by +20 or so. record them internally. then when you assign these rerecorded samples in a program, you tune them down by the same exact amount you originally tuned them up by (-20 for example). now you have the same sample, at the original pitch but with many more artifacts. the more you do it the more robotic and digital it sounds. actually works great on drums, unlike the crappy ass bit grunger effect.

if i only have my 1000 with me, i use that method way more than the glitch.

the glitch is cool and all, but there's other ways around it.
ok. time to get back to waiting for the new os to come out....

you guys need to spend less time jerking off over some crappy "effect" and spend more time demanding that akai fix the 1k timing slop

You need to spend less time jerking off and more time on this forum. Timing problems have been solved with 1.0.7 already.
