-=[THE SYNTH ZONE]=-

not quite the total relearning of synthesis that some would have it as, but lots of cool sounds can be wrung out of it.

recently got rid of an 0-coast. it was fun to play with but i couldn't really get into its sound for some reason. good for unearthly bass tones

behringer made a VP-330

behringer now officially doing versions of vp-330, ob-xa, and the model d announced awhile back is now shipping in eu. none of these were in the "holiday leak" list above but it does prove their serious intent of going all in on analog clones

I'm in love with my LYRA-8.

I sent an e-mail to get on the list for a Lyra-4 after watching those videos.

i posted some LYRA experiments on bandcamp a little while ago.

403 on that link :(

Bandcamp itself is giving me a 403

That’s not good. No problems with bandcamp not that link that I can see.

nor the link, obv.

Still getting a 403. Firefox, android. Will try later.

"http://bandcamp.com is not down
(it took me 1.39 seconds to check, if it is down for you, go shout at your IT support or ISP)
BTW: The status code I got was 301 and I was redirected to https://bandcamp.com/";

A 301 does not mean it's up, you idiot website. None of the checker websites seem to allow me to enter an Https site either.

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMGhiBi9s0o

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

http://www.musicradar.com/news/namm-2018-elektron-says-that-digitone-is-a-powerful-fm-synth-thats-also-user-friendly

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
