Why the Model 1.4 is Edging on Perfection // PlayDifferently Deep Dive
Courses, presets, samples and more at davemech.live/shop
Here's my deep dive into the Model 1.4 mixer by PlayDifferently. For the type of setup that I'm currently exploring it is near perfect and as you might have heard about the model 1, they sound incredible. The Model 1.4 offers pretty much the same but with 4 channels in stead of 6 and that makes the form factor really great!
Enjoy this overview into this mixer with all features covered and lots of sound examples.

    This is a very nice explanation. Thanks a lot. I was looking for a new mixer and decided on this one after your video (and a lot of comparing). The analogue part combined with the digital stuff (timecode and recording) makes this a great combo for me. I have some machines on the line inputs and they sound very crisp now compared to what I did before. Added a small effects unit to send return and now it is a great and very flexible setup. 🙂

Thank you in advance.

      I do still have it but it’s not in use currently. But I’m definitely keeping it. It’s a unique mixer. The audio card side of the thing is basically unusable currently. However ploytech is releasing a little hardware kit to make to have the sound card compatible with latest OS versions. They have a kickstarter going ! Db4 doesn’t have any bugs in terms of normal operation. It works pretty much flawlessly.

    I honestly love this thing so much. I’m tempted to sell literally all my other hardware music equipment and getting just this instead. I can then start a synth collection again from scratch with this as the main piece. It’s a difficult decision as I love some of my equipment (TR8s, JU06a, Sh01a, tb03) Boutiques. But the money from that, and maybe a couple camera lenses and I’d have enough for one of these. It’s so tempting! It’s instantly Techno. How does it interact with other instruments? Deffo keen for more jams featuring this bad boy!

  • @jm6734
    @jm6734 24 дні тому

    Looks cool, but from an outsiders POW - terribly involved. I can’t help thinking how superior a compact Ableton sampler would be in terms of usability. I can’t stand that bloody Push chessboard. Probably will never happen though.

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech 23 дні тому

      Not sure what you mean by terribly involved. The UI of Elektron instruments, and especially the smaller instruments like this one, is quite brilliant actually. This is something you cannot see from this video alone. Basically everything is very top level and thus only one or two button presses away. Once muscle memory kicks in the workflow is incredibly fast. A hypothetical Ableton in a box in this size can’t be superior as it’s simply something that is completely impossible:). Ableton is a daw first and has way too much functionality to be this direct in control. Even push is not even trying to do this as it’s mostly aimed at performance, not as a complete substitute of Live. Keyboard and mouse is pretty much as fast as it can get there ;) Regarding push: I have push 3 standalone and for what it offers it’s pretty brilliant. But it really depends on what you’re looking for of course. As always, it’s all very subjective. Cheers,

    Awesome video - I caught a peek of the Otto Boum in the background… Curious where you put that in the effect/output chain. The Boum + Model 1 Drive per Channel, Filter, and EQ put in me in a hole for months re listening to gear clipped out. I haven’t used Boum on an effect send, but thought maybe Cue B might be an interesting way to use it more as an effect than on Master Outs

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech 25 днів тому

      Thank you 🙏 currently I have Boum into IMC on the main out. Might seem overkill but that together with the drive on the model gives a very raw yet loud and glued mix. Boum is used in parallel mode as in, wet mixed gently with the dry signal. To me that’s where boum really shines the most. And I can make things as crunchy as I like during a live performance.

    That zero crossing detection really confused me when the model 1 first came out. Both the retailer and I thought the mixer was faulty and we returned 3 mixers before someone read the manual and explained this is how its meant to be 🤣 it also speaks to the fact the mixer is made for pro use and meant to be driven loud. Not really an issue anymore as I know how to use it but it wasnt obvious. I also really love the size of the 1.4. One thing I did discover is the zero crossing detection only senses on one of the channel inputs, so if you arent using the correct input it wont click off/on.

    Been using the Model 1 mixer for a few years now, still the best i heard and used in a long time, i also used the db4 before, ( still a beast after all this years ) the model 1 offers of course 2 channels more and u can use the Cue b as an extra though basic send and return, because there are a few more connections on the back, so also the cue b can be routed thru the dsub cables into the audio interface and into ableton, there is also an extra master out. the only problem i have with the mixer is the face plate and the print on there, the letters fade really quick, so if u decide to buy one, maks sure u cover the face plate to prevent wear.

MODEL1.4 for drums using both Ableton and a DMRM1. Both returns 1 and 2 on each mixer outs to my eurorack which is used for effects.

    DJ Dave Mech, would you agree that this unit is at least inspired partially on the Xone DB4? Mixing with filters, also accomplishable in Xone 92 but the DB4 expands on that by filters per channel besides the 2 usual bottom rotarys. Speaking of which i would loooveee a DB4 mk2, with aux send return (1 or 2 pairs of stereo), + jack + rca outputs would make it a DJ/Live/Studio highly adaptable mixer of all trades.

      Don’t think so. But who knows :). I think it stems more from missing synthesizers using their filters. And the parametric eq in the middle is quite usual on many mixers though they made this much more focused. Yeah a db4 mkii would be an instant buy for me. But I’m very doubtful it will ever happen honestly….

    Great insight in this very interesting workflow - only question: How do you sync this setup with your Push 3 and the external sequencers?

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech 27 днів тому

      Midi out from push into digitone midi in. Midi thru from digitone to perkons midi in.

I didn't get any stable clock out of it, the displays on Elektrons where always oscillating in like +-2 bpm - thanks for the answer - maybe I'll ask later more for the Push 3 (internal) setup, but I'll give Ableton some more time to polish it (not to say the word finish)

    I just sold mine for a Modular Synth.... I miss it so much for the Sound Quality. I think the Headphones preamps must be soo good too.

      I'm actually doing the opposite. Maybe you'll return one day, when you have enough of the spaghetti and want immediacy in your workflow (or you're the next Colin Benders)

    Thank you for this review. I thought mine has to be serviced because I noticed a phasing issue on the master filter when boosting the resonance in the lows but I see yours behave the same way. I guess it's because the analog filter process the right and left channel in a slightly different way maybe... strange though 🥲

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech 27 днів тому

      Hmm yeah but I haven’t found it to be an issue really. I happily boost the lows sometimes when I need the kick to be a bit more thumpy and it sounds great in my studio. Also in mono.
