MD: GND-SN pitch info? 12 Years, 6 Months ago
So the GND-SN machine isn't easily tunable to standard pitches...but has anyone ever compiled a list of its approximate pitches anywhere, or at least those PTCH values that actually *do* land precisely on a standard pitch?

...Been hunting around and not finding this info if it does in fact exist.

Not the GND-SN machine unfortunately, but on there's pitch to frequency conversion tables for a lot of the TRX and EFM machines on Shifty's Elektron Machinedrum page:

Just out of curiosity: are you the Wout I spoke to lately through another Swedish instruments manufacturer forum?...

One of my favorite resources...I carry a printout of it around in my MD case I'm sure he blew off GND-SN because so few of its PTCH values correspond exactly.

I'm curious mainly because of GND-SN's ability to make basslines...for me at least, low notes are difficult to tune by ear. I'm hoping at least a few values below 32 are standard notes. Anyone?

@Stiiiiiiive: No I'm not. This is the only Swedish instruments manufacturer forum I have posted on.

Not sure about GND-SN values corresponding with notes, but one way I tune low notes on the MD is by turning the distortion to max, which makes the harmonics more apparent.

awesome advice Psykisk.

the GND SN machine makes some really great bass sounds, big dancefloor bass..

re/ pitch values..
there is always the 'static lfo' technique to fine-tune the PTCH parameter,
although admittedly that does require some detailed LFO work for each trig, and i don't know exactly what pitches are being played.

maybe there is some info here
I thought i had some doc around telling each pitch for each machine on the md but i got it from this forum so it should be around here some where did you look at the file section?

I think even tarekith made this one

hope it helps

Re:MD: GND-SN pitch info? 12 Years, 6 Months ago
after making a bassline with the GND SN, found that the note B is exactly these PTCH parameters: (when PTCH ramp is set to be 0)

8
24
40 ... that is about the limit of bassline frequency territory

the pitch goes on in multiples of 16:
56 = B
72 = B

that is fairly accurate pitch, although add another 16 (that seems to be the pattern) and the pitch of B is in-between 88 and 89

add 16 to 89 = 105 and the pitch of B is found again.
