Also the buy/sell section of Muffwiggler, come to think of it.

Looks pretty sweet! Better than Nord, though?
― DJI, Friday, 1 September 2017 15:20 (six years ago) link
Time will tell. Considering Vox and Korg are aligned now, and knowing how blown away I've been by recent Korg product, I'm pretty optimistic.

Still lusting after a Nord Stage 3, but they are still not in stores yet...

The UI on that looks just as complicated and menu-driven as the original!
― DJI, Sunday, 10 September 2017 16:22 (six years ago) link
I'm used to that. I was raised on worse, like general midi TGs and Yamahas

sick. are the boutique touch pads better than wheels
― am0n, Sunday, 10 September 2017 20:54 (six years ago) link
I tend to assume anything with fewer moving parts is an improvement, but knobs are def better than touch. Wheels vs touch is probably a wash. I'll take the cheaper littler version in a heartbeat.

This new Roland looks pretty nice: https://www.roland.com/global/products/v-combo_vr-730/
Maybe a much lower-cost alternative to a Nord Stage?

That sounds pretty awesome.

None of those sounds in the demo are super inspiring to me but I love the interface and idea. Their effects processor looks really cool.

Has anyone fucked with the Yamaha CS-80 reissue? Part of the ‘reface’ series iirc. I like to fantasize that I’ll be able to buy one <$500 synth and that one’s my desideratum rn
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link
it's on my list, there are hella youtubes of people doing the most boring possible shit with it

That’s a shame bc I will do NEW BLADE RUNNAR w it
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 18:11 (six years ago) link
CS-80? You mean like the CS01? The reface CS is pretty basic. Some dude's making an expensive rack CS-80 clone but it's not a yamaha reface.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 19:09 (six years ago) link
The Arturia CS-80 clone soft-synth is pretty good, though obvs i have not played an actual CS-80 to compare.

So I got my LYRA-8 today. Absolutely worth waiting 13 months for it.
sounds like this:

the LYRA-8 sounds like lameness distilled, never buy noise, the whole point of noise is to find it, noise is personal, I definitely want to yell at the guy who made that youtube

i prob need to hear a better demo of thyme but bastl def wins in the interface design

I really want that Make Noise 0-coast, wish it was cheaper.
Also I downloaded Dexed and realized I have NO idea how to deal with FM synthesis. Also realized it's responsible for a lot of the sounds I like and haven't been able to achieve, and I want to learn, but it seems very mysterious right now (even modifying presets!).
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 19 October 2017 19:46 (six years ago) link
Does anyone understand fm? Change values and algorithms until it feels good.
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Thursday, 19 October 2017 20:31 (six years ago) link
I find it very hard because there's much less of a 1:1 relationship between parameters and the resultant sound compared to analogue synthesis.
― Zings Can Only Get Better (snoball), Thursday, 19 October 2017 20:40 (six years ago) link
I understand FM a little bit because I think of it like having a few 4+ with separate ASDRs and usually that helps - but yeah, tons of twiddling
― El Tomboto, Friday, 20 October 2017 00:43 (six years ago) link
4+ oscs, I meant
― El Tomboto, Friday, 20 October 2017 00:45 (six years ago) link
the messiness of that sentence is probably a good example of how I think about FM. no grammar, but a syntax I can guess at and sometimes get right
― El Tomboto, Friday, 20 October 2017 00:46 (six years ago) link
this is probably a good place to start?
