-=[THE SYNTH ZONE]=-

Works on everything here - firefox, chrome, safari, opera.

Working on my end (and sounds great).

Got an e-mail back that the wait is only going to be a couple of weeks. Guess I better set aside the money now.

I had to wait 13 months! But they've set up a second production facility so things are coming much faster than in the first year.

now u too can beatbox like anton lavey

I sort of like that thing but not at 4-500 euros

Minibrute 2
https://www.arturia.com/minibrute-2-landing
More or less a beefed up Minibrute with a patchbay.

Makes sense as the lower-tier Microbrute was patchable, and probably ate into some of the original Minibrute's sales for it. Weren't there crazy QC issues with the first Minibrute as well?

That pipe thing looks pretty rad. Wonder if you could basically do the same thing by piping your voice into a bass station or something (and adding a reverb pedal).

Probably something very similar. I like that the prototype has this chart on the side to explain each combination:

If you don’t want keys on your new Minibrute:

Got my LYRA-4 invoice today, production must be going strong. Probably more people going for the -8, I guess, since it's not that much more.

This is the second thing I've ordered from Russia this month (this) so I'm probably on a list now.

should have called it the Macrologue

Surprised at the price. I mean it's probably worth that, but the mini and mono are so cheap for what they offer, would've been great if they could hit 1000 or below for the smaller of the two. I own a mini and went to a friends house the other day and played with his monologue and had a great time with it.

huh, no sequencer. That's weird. Otherwise it looks like a mix of features from the previous two with the addition of the third oscillator (digital), an additional effect and bitimbre ability.

they should do a christmas edition called the Yulelogue

hi how have we not covered the moog DFAM in this thread

I absolutely fucking hate, hate, hate, hate a long stupid demo in which nobody does anything that isn’t 4/4 or 6/8

Jesus Christ

This seems very complicated:

you want odd time signatures out of your drum machine demos???

of course I do

I’m going to find it hard to resist that one.

Very concerned that he's pronouncing it with a hard G.

Might be a dealbreaker.

What a weird video. We’re people complaining that their demos were too steril? Lacking in koi fish?

Looks fun. I’m happy with my reface DX which is not as powerful or as expensive.

Sweet greenhouse, bro.

Finally found an Novation Ultranova for cheap, after reading about how it's Tom Ellard's favourite synth on his blog. Seems pretty good so far (except that it feels incredibly cheap)

If I buy a Korg minilogue then plug it into the soundbar under the television so I don't have to spend money on speakers will I go to hell

no

the iLoud Micro Monitors are scary good though

i bought an mpc 1000 !!!! was not impressed at all with mpc live so i went for it. jj os is incredible

Artutia DrumBrute Impact, basically a mini DrumBrute:

I have the OG Drumbrute, and like it. Seems like adding a distortion pedal onto its output might be a good thing.

EZ snappin are you still vibing with the lyra-8, kinda thinking of selling my alpha juno and getting one with the proceeds

My son was playing around with the Arturia MatrixBrute this weekend. That thing's a monster, the whole push button matrix is a pretty ingenious approach to patching.

I'm pretty hyped up about the Mother series and he's interested in getting one of the mini Korgs. All this new analog stuff feels much more attainable than in the old days.

Also, some of these high tech DJ rigs look pretty insane, and not too expensive. It's all very tempting and I need exactly none of it.

I love my Lyra 8 but it's a specialized piece of kit. It doesn't play well with my other gear besides drum machines. However, what it does well, from droning ambient washes to harsh thunderous noise, it does better than anything else I've gotten my hands on.

Have you gotten your hands on one? Is there anywhere you can try one out?

not got hold of one, strong feeling that it is 'my bag' though

alpha juno is such a great little guy though.

There are plenty of demos out there now. If they excite you I say go for it. Or if you're near Nashville drop me a line.

Bought a replacement DX7IID after being a year plus unable to repair a previous one. Jesus what a fucking synth.

This sounds amazing.

got one of those AE modular sets on the way after a little wait - this guy with extra VCAs and a couple other things. getting the sweet-looking FX module as a bonus for waiting patiently!

That looks cool! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it

Wow, very interesting, streamlined design.

I went to Five G in Harajuku the week before last, which is amazing. It's pretty small but absolutely packed with interesting stuff, including the Lyra-8. I didn't end up buying anything but it's a great place to visit.

Has anyone tried the ELTA Polivoks Mini yet?

This thing looks nuts:
