Got NMk - Gettin' mM (hopefully) - few Qs |
  |
|
Looking for a microModular
Unit found gives me few concerns
Can any mM be updated all the way thru to 3.03 ( I have the update, just wondering if there are h/w restrictions)
Is the psu easy to resource via 3rd party alternative (uk)
i.e does it have a 'common or garden' 9V plug (tip +ve ?)
plus (ain't no show stopper btw) - there are differences between me using 1 slot in my NM1key and using mM - polyphony, is that all (besides pot count!) ??
many thanks |

Yes, you'll need "micro update 3.03" instead of "modular update 3.03", but all you'll need is on the clavia site, and probably on your own computer as well (it's one download I think for all systemsl - that is ... I do have the MM uploader but didn't ask for it).

Not problems really, you can use any NM patch on the MM, but the polyphony will be reduced to 1 for a 100% patch, 2 for a a 50% patch etc. where the big one could have 4 (8) or 8 (16) etc. (between parenthesis for expanded).
Re. the power supply, I do not have details but I know people have used other ones.

hi,
good look with the auction.
when you find an alternative power supply for the micro please let me know. mine has a loose plug.
best regards

I didn't win bid - went too high for condition.
However, the psu is moderately specified and has a common style connector - so a multi voltage multi plug psu swap may work
I've sourced 'replacement' psus from the most unlikely sources
old modem = perfect for motu ultralite
some other old gear = perfect for novation remote
both of which spare my macbook providing the juice
the (long) quest goes on
* Anyone selling a uk micro modular ! ? *
will exchange for magic beans ;->
anyone know a cure for synth collecting ? ;-/
