he applied so much swing, that the the feel got turned into shuffle.
he could just used 1/16 Triplet quantize…
Since it can be used as an VST does that mean all of the sounds comes from the USB or do I have to use the line out on the Sonic Cell to my mixer?
Thanks Griffin.
i love the mv880 and i’m sure the sonic cell is great for the budget producer. i’m just not totally sold on why you’d want both of them. the mv samples in a way that makes tones sound very much like they’ve been sampled through a jv/xv-type engine. the sonic cell is pure xv sound… while i’m sure they’re both great kit (i know the mv is) it looks like you’d get a lot of redundant sounds if you used em in tandem.
Its not redundant if you also use it with a DAW and run the Sonic Cell as a VSt or Audio Unit plug-in instrument within Logic 8 , Ableton Live or Cubase for that mattter. Sampling the sounds from the Sonic Cell still wont give you the flexibility of editing the synth or stacking and layering of up to 16 parts simultaneously. Also the Sonic Cell is not using the XV engine it has a complete new chip which in fact on some patches sounds better than the Fantom X.
you don’t need an 8800 for that.
i know this is a dumb question, but im not sure of the answer
would anyone know if i could use a Korg mini synth and work it just find with the roland sonic cell?
why don,t Roland just build a new mv with the sonic cell features added plus that would be something I could really use
Can you use this with Fruity Loops or Cubase?
