Bespoke's biggest issue is it's a single developer project and development is sloooowww. Biggest usability problem with it is no sidechains or multichannel plugins. Other than that it's pretty badass, feels like a desktop AUM. Load a bunch of modules and gently caress around with routing to see what weird sounds you get. It's also a very good midi router.

I got Bitwig @ 50% off (until 5/20!) because I'd demo'd it before and grids is pretty great. I am going to try to get it all going with ES9 and it's CV utility; the workflows make a bit more sense to my squirrel brain than m4l but so far I can't get audio routed back to ES9 correctly

Logic 11 dropped and FINALLY we can bounce external synths in place in real time. It seemed so odd to me that they added bounce in place features while leaving external synths needing to record via a bus or other clunky workaround. I haven’t tried it yet since the other extra stuff is still downloading, but this will help workflow a lot considering the majority of my tracks are external synth now.

I saw the Logic 11 update and it was like, “AI Stuff! Session Bassist and Session Piano to go along with Session Drummer!” Do they not want us making music ourselves anymore?!   I’m holding off on updating. But I’m kind of interested in seeing if I can abuse Stem Extractor for anything interesting.

https://youtu.be/liQhw3CtNZc?si=kKkgNv5eelzZS3nb I’m digging bitwig and cv. You can do all this with max but the UIs here are nicer and generally a lot more responsive, granted, max can do a lot of stuff grids can’t. But just for sending cv out to modular this seems great and I’m starting to think about workflows.

I bought a used MX49 locally on a whim and I'm learning that you can't actually adjust most of the voice settings on the device. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/yamaha-mx49quote:What you won't find, however, is a menu for the oscillators, which meant that my first few days with the MX were spent in an agony of uncertainty. Despite reading the manuals from cover to cover, I couldn't find any waveform parameters! The vycromx domain has been down since like 2019.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Emj6v6FAY I saw Jack from Setonix demo this a month ago and I have been waiting for the public release to post this and be excited about it. This is a really neat stereo matrix mixer packed to the gills with (digital) VCAs, and I can't wait to add a Shaka8 + Shaka4 to sit in/near my MakeNoise stereo poo poo. Super cool thing, anything from a straight mixer to a powerful set of aux busses to whatever you can imagine. If only it went up to video frequencies  (this would make the highly reasonable current price unreasonable!!)Also there's no price actually listed AFAIK but if he sells these for what I think he said he was going to, it's "less than you think", and just giving an email to the waitlist gets you a discount at order time.

Got a Bela Gliss and while neat, has too many modes and features for a module without any screen. Will keep it in the case but probably only ever keep it on the looping mode.

Black ISE-NIN eurorack with expander is $1249 bundle https://black-corporation.com/shop/product/isenin-voice/ Given that ISE-NIN is a $5000 unit and Black Corp is Black Corp, I was legitimately expecting this to be like $2500+ and not be a thing I'd even think of. At half that cost, though.....  "gee I wish I'd bought less LZX this spring, I only have $400, oops".

JamesKPolk posted:their euro stuff is just a single voice (idk if this is a dealbreaker for you, it was for me) In addition, as an owner and still lover of a Black Corporation Kijimi, their build quality is pretty underwhelming. Thing just randomly goes out of tune a lot, the screen sucks, their Midi programmer VST doesn't work in all hosts and sometimes locks the unit up. The unit locks up randomly sometimes, sometimes a voice just gets stuck on and you need to reboot, sometimes after booting it responds to nothing and you judt have to power cycle it for funsies...... Oh and the whole thing died once and I had to mail it to Japan

monophonic wasn't an issue for me but that's the first negative stuff I've heard about Black. I haven't researched them too hard, I just had the general impression they had been around for quite a while and were generally expensive, and assumed that reflected quality!! I also don't know if I need what clearly amounts to "another semimodular system", and I definitely don't want another keybed synth, so the Arturia J8 VST might end up being the thing, instead of more silly hardware. W/Solar42 I am already in the process of owning one thing that might potentially need annoying overseas service; keeping that list short seems wise.

okay I've officially become one of those craven souls that collects 80s and 90s romplers, now I need to figure out how the heck to use them. I know there's probably software patch editors for a lot of these floating around out there, are there any that are sort of all-in-one solutions for some of these boxes? I know MidiQuest exists but I don't know that I'm willing to pay for it, I used it ages ago and remember it being... kind of unstable, though I guess that could have changed. I have Roland SC-55 mkII, SC-88Pro, D110, and a Yamaha MU90. Anybody know of any good editors for any or all of them?

I’ve got two music software things right now, one is a client side react app and one is a rails app. Neither are built to stream midi to other places but that’s a neat idea, you could possibly do something like that with websockets

net work error posted:The Oxi One is supposed to be the new hotness for sequencing if you were considering dumping a bunch of money on a sequencer. yea, I'd like to mess with one but also  this is less gates and only 2 more CV outs than a BSP/KSP. Yes I know it does a lot of other things and there's more flexibility to how CV can be assigned but the price has always seemed really high to me for what you get, compared to KSP on one hand, and Deluge on the other. Deluge's CV limitations make it inadequate to be the brain of a substantial modular system, but as a grab-and-go thing it's also a full sound design and synthesis platform.  Over a long enough time period I'll have all these things if my life doesn't implode in the meantime. B33rChiller posted:Which one of you guys is this? you've seen my shtick. I'm not this cool

glitch visual and tinnitus warnings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpLYIAm3R9Q this was super fun. It's almost entirely video feedback; there's a still image of a gradiant being mixed in occaisionally to give some seed data, but mostly it's just feedback with modulation being applied to color data. The audio is the video, I put it through LPGs to make it less ear splitting but it's siren like in places, super obnoxious, and then fairly cool in a few places. Most of the manual modulation is just twisting an LFO rate and also changing some color saturation values; any small change cascades weirdly through feedback. These shapes don't exist, you didn't see them.

Little drumming doot, and a demo of my WIP desk setup. These dealies https://www.amazon.ca/VIVO-Adjustable-Computer-Monitor-STAND-V002C/dp/B00FOTABWY are great for making room on the desktop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLcdf37k4ZY This Sputnik Modular delay is lots of fun. It doesn't have any normalized paths, but has two output sockets for each of four taps, two time modulation inputs with attenuation, a 3 channel mixer on the input, and two cross faders. I put clouds in the feedback path, taking the 1/2t and 1t taps. I also took a copy of those taps and sent them as L/R channels into a stereo ping pong delay, before heading to the output mixer Apparently, you can make all the sound with a single mono voice. https://voca.ro/1fp39VldybBe
