Does Pure Acid ever go on sale. Would like to get both JA groove boxes but they are pricey.

Well that's cool. Appsliced, remember the name. Thanks
Playing with oscilloscopes today and the wave forms of Pure Acid don’t really look like they should.
The square wave looks more like a saw wave.
Still sounds amazing though.
That’s what 303 square waves look like. Throw a pure square wave through a highpass filter and watch the magic happen.
You can find YouTube demos of the various waveforms from actual hardware synths and you will find that square waves rarely look like mathematically perfect square waves.There is a lot of variation from analog synth to analog synth which gives them their unique characters.
Ha! Love it! It’s so refreshing to hear an acoustic instrument.. Banjo.. wish I had one.. Open G tuning is one of many favourites I use on my guitars..
Great blending of sounds.. Would love to hear more..
How many other instruments do you play?
I’m always trying to find ways of incorporating my acoustic guitar or mandolin into some of my non-acoustic journeys in sound.. as usual, the guitar is always in an altered tuning and not really in tune with anything else.. which makes it challenging to add.. and to tune it up properly would kill the moment + vibe.. need to work around that..
Thanks for sharing..
Holy crap. It’s exactly the same.
👍
@royor Thank so much for the words. 5 string Banjo ( clawhammer style) is my main instrument but i also play guitar, fiddle, jaw harp and ( electric ) bass. In this track the banjo is not in open G but in double D tuning and the fiddle is in open D tuning.
The idear for this track comes from a Mike Seeger recording of Trader Boatman. It’s a banjo jaw harp duet. Jaw harp always reminds me of the 303 sound and that is how i got the idear to mix banjo and 303.
Open tunings are super genorous and blending acoustic with electronic instrument can give some sweet results but I agree that it can be challenging.
Strange with the tuning issues that you are dealing with. Have you tried a heavyer gage. I have experienced tuning issues with low tunings and to light gage on my banjo ( haha there is ALWAYS tuning issues with a banjo 🤣😂)
Like that a lot! Thanks! 😎👍🏼
Will “Pure Acid” ever get a 2nd 303 ?
What's the point when you can just use two instances?
Really good. Bits of the bayou comes to the club.
Thanks @JohnnyGoodyear 😊
I want to use it standalone with drums, bass and lead. ReBirth style.
Standalone is for luddites.
It’s got sounds from the second and even a third drum machine already.
I just want to open it standalone, load my saved file with lead included and jam.
Would it really be so bad if a second 303 was added?
Also, an auto drum sequence generator would be nice.
I'm just pulling your leg. Of course it wouldn't be bad.
Seriously though, it would be a major UI overhaul. If I was a developer and was looking at the amount of work it would be for the (IMO) relatively small number of additional people who would buy the product because of that feature who wouldn't otherwise, I sure wouldn't go to the trouble. But @jimpavloff is a crazy good and responsive developer, so who knows?
And personally again - I would rather have the interface not further complicated. I have no problem whatsoever with using multiple instances. I prefer it that way.
Sorry chaps, been a long time since I had a fiddle with Jim, I can have more than 12 patterns though, no? Seem to be stuck....
@JohnnyGoodyear
1. Save your current patch in the User Bank (top middle) Each patch has 12 Bass + Drum patterns
2. Go to the Factory Bank + find the init patch + execute
3. Do a -Save as- (Your New Patch Name) into the User Bank
4. Fill 12 more patterns (Bass + Drums)
5. Rinse + repeat..
Thank you Captain, niocely clarified. I was thinking song modes and so forth, but will play it in something else. Appreciate your help!
@JohnnyGoodyear You're welcome.. Ah, yes.. song mode.. I believe that's the chained pattern mode.. not sure what happens if you need more than the 12 patterns though.. Some of that would be covered in the great tips + tricks thread.. maybe worth a look?

Can the bass sequencer be used as an AUv3 MIDI Generator? I can load it in AUM as a MIDI plugin but it’s not appearing as a midi input option. It’s such a good sequencer I’d like to program other things with it, but am failing. Also can’t find a manual...stand-alone it has created a virtual port and is working, but not ideal.
No, sorry, there’s no midi out from the AUv3 version.
I cant seem to export a patch from my phone to my ipad or vice versa. it gives me an error message when trying to load it. is this working?
I just shared a preset via airdrop with no trouble. How are you going about it?
Airdrop worked! I was saving in icloud and then opening it from there.
👍🏼
Using iCloud failed for me too.
