Jumping from an Indigo to a Desktop...

[Angstwulf]

I'm considering selling my Indigo 1 and picking up a desktop. B/C/Ti are all candidates depending on what the market looks like.

For me, the Indigo was a great programmer's synth: more portable than the 61 key synths but able to try out chords and complex arpeggios. Not exactly something that can rest on my lap while watching the TV, it's a brick, but I'd program it on the couch, in the garden, where ever.

Are there any workarounds to the desktops that allow some kind of note triggering without a controller? Something like Dave Smith's "push it" button on his Mopho?

I've opened up the oscillators to make drones on the Indigo but that's a little clumsy and doesn't allow for editing the amp envelopes.

Thanks.

You can check a sound without a controller on the Virus TI Desktop by pushing the shift and audition button at the same time.

Short for just a "hit"...long to let the note hang so you can fiddle around with the knobs....

Thanks. I will try that out on a desktop and see if it would keep me happy.

I'm probably keeping the Indigo. I've had it too long. It's like a body part.

On the Virus C desktop press EDIT and SYNC to trigger a note.
