I finally have a place at to play in my house! Here’s a little jam with my Circuit controlling some external synths:https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=dX8W7jADLwE

want 2 put in a good word for the moog subsequent 37. recently got one and it was instantly the most fun synth i've ever touched
today ordered the new hotness from a new synth company called ASM, v excited to learn to program it: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/asm-hydrasynth

shoot, xps, sorry i missed this earlier sharivari. i didn’t end up ordering the hydrasynth after all. actually i thought i had, but didn’t quite complete the transaction on ebay. then i took a look at my credit card statements, and while i’m not in debt, i couldn’t justify the purchase :/i DID finally restore my DSI Prophet ‘08, though. it took a few operations. on the second to last, i tried to fix the two dead keys it had and, after much painstaking effort, when i pieced it all together found that something like half the keys were dead! i had to laugh. no idea where i went wrong. anyway, i got a new keybed for it and it everything works, finally. it’s a beautiful machine
― davey, Thursday, 10 September 2020 12:34 (three years ago) link
I made a little jungle-ish jam using a Circuit, Streichfett, Minilogue, Bass Station 2 synths and MD500, RE20 and BigSky pedals.

I've been making some dreadful noises with a Lyra-8. great stuff.

Is it easy to get started? It seems like it would be

The Lyra-8 is the best
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 23 September 2020 02:40 (three years ago) link
Tom I think so - I just tuned all the voices around the same pitch and started from there, good way to see how changing something effected everything else. once you grasp that you can just tune some intervals up by ear and make your own scales or whatever.
my sister's not quite 2-year-old was obsessed with it when they came to visit last week, and was delighted by endless delay feedback when I let her have a play! (her older brother was not impressed, what a normie)
― 2 Markov Chainz (haitch), Wednesday, 23 September 2020 09:07 (three years ago) link
I'm tempted by the Lyra-FX Eurorack module for when i expand my case.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 23 September 2020 09:32 (three years ago) link
i think i've said i really regret selling my lyra-8. the pulsar drum thing looks bananas, i like that guy's russian business hippie vibes

Hello thread, I bought a DFAM and a Subharmonicon last month with my redundancy money and have been annoying the tits off everyone here ever since they arrived. Absolute instruments of joy and madness! The DFAM especially is a unit of raging destruction. Have been eyeing up quantizer modules so I can patch in more melodic sequences and somewhat tame its chaos, but I think it would be a bad idea to start buying eurorack while I don't have a job. I do have a thing for pursuing bad ideas though
― kites aren't fun (NickB), Monday, 26 October 2020 17:26 (three years ago) link
a used 4ms pod full of cheap and versatile doepfer utility modules would be one way to pursue that bad idea.
i just been making trash ambient with an op-1 and some guitar pedals and--secret weapon--an alesis wedge desktop reverb, love that 90s digital sound
― adam, Monday, 26 October 2020 17:32 (three years ago) link
Keep telling myself that buying any sort of case is basically investing in a coffin for my bank account. I'll look into that though, just for research purposes of course!
― kites aren't fun (NickB), Monday, 26 October 2020 17:44 (three years ago) link
Other gear I have at the moment, clogging up my desk and generally hijacking all my evenings: minilogue, volca fm, behringer model d, drumbrute impact, and indeed a bunch of guitar pedals. Still don't know what I'm doing at all tbh, just merrily whiling away the hours making a terrible racket
― kites aren't fun (NickB), Monday, 26 October 2020 17:50 (three years ago) link
A pod case plus a Disting already does a lot but yes, you won’t stop there lol.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 26 October 2020 18:00 (three years ago) link
Yeah a disting would do very nicely indeed
― kites aren't fun (NickB), Monday, 26 October 2020 18:13 (three years ago) link
I'm selling my Arturia Microfreak, it just didn't get used and I don't love the overall sound. It took way too much work to make it sit in a track, whereas my Volcas (FM & Keys) just work even with minimal processing. The keyboard is cool, I thought about keeping it around as a controller, but I do almost everything with midi anyway.
Also selling an old Korg Microsampler than I inherited from a friend. If I can sell these I've got my eye on the Yamaha Reface CP, the electric pianos sound really good from everything I've heard and I like the idea of doing crazy midi-controlled arps with them, in addition to having something pleasant to actually practice piano with.
Would love else something as small, affordable, and usable as the Volcas, haven't found the right thing but suggestions would be welcome.
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 26 October 2020 18:33 (three years ago) link
bit bigger than a volca by about 50% and twice the price but i have a model:samples and that's pretty fun to use once you figure out the sample library. or there's the cycles now which is the fm synth counterpart

I've got an Electribe 2 Sampler, and I kind of think of it as a Supervolca. The workflow and sequencing is largely similar. It gets a lot of hate from gear nerds, and to be fair there are some annoying limitations, but limitations are good IMO. You can probably find one for relatively cheap used (how I picked up mine).

Notation usually have big Black Friday sales if any of their grooveboxes/ synths look interesting.

Goddamn. I have a Peak, and it is currently my favorite synth. RIP Chris, you went out on top
― octobeard, Tuesday, 27 October 2020 17:37 (three years ago) link
The Peak/Summits are so rad-looking. I've spent enough on gear this year, but maybe in a couple years.

Has anyone messed with the Behringer Pro-1?
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 18:48 (three years ago) link
Just got one a "B-stock" Pro-1 a few days ago (Alto Music and Pro Audio Star sell Behringers as B-Stock to get lower prices but they're usually unopened IME). It's really good - different kind of bold, easier to make work with other instruments than the Model D. The small knobs on the Behringers might bother me in the dark on a stage, but in normal use they're fine.

― american primitive stylophone (zchyrs), Wednesday, 11 November 2020 19:37 (three years ago) link
would be nice if in future it could have looping envelopes, and the modulation processors off the wavestate - that stuff seemed really cool to me!

I stumbled into a (gold) Korg Monologue, after someone offered it in trade for my microfreak. Haven't tried it yet but I think it might be just the sort of thing I was after!
― change display name (Jordan), Sunday, 22 November 2020 19:21 (three years ago) link
Not a lot of great synth deals this year but i picked up a 4MS Ensemble Oscillator anyway as it looks really fun.

Yeah, Chipsynth MD is an emulation of the Sega Megadrive/Genesis FM chip. So far I'm loving it. It sounds great, the UI is very clean, and there's tons of nice presets to start with.

Grabbed cherry audios realistic radio shack moog plugin for free. It’s great.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 28 November 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
Nice, I grabbed that too, haven't tried it yet.
Gotta say I'm loving the Monologue so far, more than I ever liked the Microbrute. It seems deep but also very intuitive -- haven't even cracked some of the features yet, but I was able to create some very nice patches in pretty short order. Loooove that there's a noise generator, that makes any sound 1000% better to my ears and I'm sure I will abuse it.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 21:11 (three years ago) link
Also I'm very curious what my Reface CP will sound like if I put it through the Monologue's analog filter *devil emoji*

I got this little box for Christmas, and it's pretty sweet.
I can sync Endlesss (or any other Link-compatible software or plugins) on my iPhone/iPad to all my gear without having to run Live on my computer. I can sync my gear to Serato. And of course I can I can use it as a master clock for all my gear. It has a nice offset feature that lets you dial in the beat in case there are any latency or other timing issues.
