Any of the points marked with a star (ie. ground) can be connected to the sleeve of a socket, with the tip connecting to the pin that the probe is pointing to (second last pin on the cart slot).
It's a very clean, but also very loud output, so will need some attenuation (unless you use it with eurorack, I guess!). I've actually found I just use my usual prosound output and it's clean enough to use with my Octatrack. I really should get back into nanoloop mono at some point!
The newer pocket operators have adjustable pitch, and in the case of the PO-35, adjustable scales, so unless you're doing 12-tone serialist chiptune music*, that should be enough to get almost any kind of scale you'd want to play.
I don't see any evidence of TE thinking that they're smarter than everyone else at all. They're confident, but you kinda have to be in today's market.
Truth is, they're a design company more than anything else, and musical instruments just happen to be a thing they design. I still stand by the OP-Z being a work of art, and a beautiful instrument on the level of my Elektron gear (even though I don't use it as much as I do my Elektrons).
Haha, I have moments of extreme inspiration with nanoloop, so will often quickly develop long pattern chains, stream-of-consciousness style. It helps that this stuff is generally super minimal!
Yeah I couldn't get that working either. It's a shame really, because that used to be one of my techniques for a weird breakdown; or to just stop the sequencer and get it to restart at a certain point.
The noise channel has been weird for a few versions now. It seems impossible to switch it between "normal" and "arp" modes, unless you copy/paste a step from another channel.
Is that like controlled clipping? Guilty - I haven't used NL...
Yeah, I think so. Oliver knows more about it but to me the NL2 overdrive sounds almost analog. Very nice when combining low bass tones and quiet noise, gets kinda fluttery.
