modular etc etc

it sets the start of the pitch envelope, but the fundamental is one frequency.

Hmmm...That sucks then. If you can't tune the thing, no way I'm getting it (wasn't terribly interested in the 808 kick anyways).

Hopefully the 909 will have a pitch knob.

i doubt it, the original didnt.

just tune everything to the kick.

Surely you can get another module that you can send the audio to that will do the pitch shifting?

that would get well monotonous

i usually have at least three different kick tunings in a live set.

you can sort of get away with it with the 909, cos its a big thud, but the 808 is such a tuneful beast

thats not the way you do things with analogue, thats a digital technique, sure there's digital modules that could do it, but you'd totally lose the power and quality of sound. you need a CV input on the kick module at least to change its pitch.

yeah i agree. if i got this module i don't think i'd use it all the time but it would be nice to have around.

kicking myself for not starting the modular.. haha... i want that 808 module badly.

i still don't understand the modular, how do you route the audio back into the computer? what about setting up multiple midi/cv converters if you want to trigger multiple sources such as the 808 module and maybe some other drum kits. Did i gloss over the module threads too much to not pick up this info?
