Lol I actually didn't remember I have a loving degree now until I read Wafflehound's post again. I guess that's a good indication of how absolutely worthless a Bachelor's is in Finland. Anyway synths are really cool and I wish you could get a degree in them instead. e: not that I'd get one because I'm really bad

I don't have a single degree. Technically I probably shouldn't even be able to operate a synth.

WAFFLEHOUND posted:I can tell you what mineral something is by licking it. On a whim I bought a Volca Bass and a midi keyboard, how hosed am I? Just kidding. Seriously, I have not messed with music for a while and I thought this would be a fun and cheap way to get started with analog synth. I has been looking at a x0xb0x box and watching documentaries on the TB-303, but all the options seemed too expensive. I have a habit of ditching hobbies, I didn't want to go out and buy something really expensive only to let it gather dust. So I got the Bass. It isn't exactly a 303 but it's neat for the money. I considered the Keys but this one seemed simpler, and learning this one should make learning the others easier. Is there a consensus on the Volca series among you guys?

AxeBreaker posted:On a whim I bought a Volca Bass and a midi keyboard, how hosed am I? All three are awesome, with the Bass and Keys being really great and the Beats being good but having probably the worst snare on any drum machine in history, but that issue can be fixed with a soldering iron.

wayfinder posted:Hah! Took a break from the forums at exactly the right point DosBox doesn't do MMX, I found out shortly after that post. I've set up a Dos machine on VirtualBox, but I've got to choose between stuttering or sample preview/envelopes not visually updating, which annoys the crap out of me. 20 years on and I can't emulate a Prentium 166 MMX 100% in software, what the gently caress. Plus exchanging files with the system is a hassle. Well, back to SchismTracker's rough approximation. Anyway, you had some good poo poo on there, you should revisit them some day.

I have coded programs in far too many languages to count. Such programs are frequently audio-related, but it's really not at all cool.BKPR posted:Why don't you loving nerds get into something cool, like measuring filter slopes? Because it's not at all cool. "Oh, is the ripple that's distorting the results from the source signal, the filter, the measuring apparatus, or my derivation math"?

Someone please start the maxmsp/csound/reaktor/kyma/whatever thread so that you goons can talk about what programming languages you have used and compare what degrees you have obtained outside of the synth thread.

Dunno waffle, though I am probably only working halfish shifts next week. I'll be broke but will have late afternoon/evenings free. edit: just finished the battery mod on the cz-101. Seems good so far, need to leave it unplugged for an hour to test. Sizone fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Aug 1, 2014 |

It's the least favourite of mine right now fwiw; it was also blasted out in the space of one evening. It definitely needs a revisit; some little 'things' to break it up a bit and maybe toning the seasick compression down a bit. Seasick House? Seahouse?
