Can someone here refresh my memory? What is the word for sampling something with a microphone? It's a male name like Thomas or Murphy or something.

Dotcom Jillionaire posted:I just got a Doepfer A-192-2 MIDI/USB interface so that's taking care of my immediate MIDI sequencing needs. I'm really keen on the Expert Sleepers stuff though so I'll be curious about how you like it. I actually started with the Doepfer for a week or so but I felt a bit limited by it. The ES, to me, has a steep learning curve but the envelopes and LFOs really sold it for me. I'm mainly using Ableton to sequence so I think it will play much nicer. I haven't cracked open much else of Silent Way yet, but it seems hugely powerful with some tinkering.

A Winner is Jew posted:$200 or less options would be the volca beats (horrible snare), volca sample (have to have an ios device), and rhythm wolf (bass synth is not tuned). Aight, thanks for the suggestions

The TR-8 is amazing and does all my drums. I just stare at the thing running through 32 step patterns. It also has built in sidechain compression and a great FX engine I'll sell somebody my Volca Beats/Keys if they want it.

Dotcom Jillionaire posted:OFFICIAL SYNTHGOON XMAS TOP SECRET ALBUM PROJECT POST Yeah, definitely still in on this! My track's either 100% or 90% finished, not sure if I want to do something more with the end bit or just let it be. I think I'll post it for you guys to check out and maybe you'll have some suggestions? quote:6) So we're raising money with this thing? Scatterfold posted:I really like the idea of this being for charity, and it's good that it's going to something non-political. One thought though (and this isn't based on any experience fundraising, it's just something to think about): I agree a charity that has to do with kids would be the most fitting. And preferably something to do with school/youth projects, definitely. Maybe that could be something goons could vote on in the thread we'll eventually make? I thought this was going to be the thematically non-Christmas album (just a wintery one), but released around Christmas time anyway? I think it might make sense to set a definite limit for when you can buy the thing. When there's a set time when the album'll be taken off the internet, it'll be easier to control the money flow and also be more transparent. After the time is up, money stops coming in and we can donate one big lump sum. Then we can post proof that the money was indeed donated. edit: It'd also be easier for Dotcom Jillionaire / whoever would handle that bit. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Nov 10, 2014 |

Here's my track. Desert M - Lunta (it's private so shh don't share it <  >)"Lunta" is the word for "snow" in Finnish. Or more precisely, it's the word "lumi" ("snow") in the partitive case, which is technically "some snow" and and ANYWAY this won't interest anyone else than Wafflehound If y'all have suggestions or other critiques/comments I'd love to hear them. I've been listening to this one track so much that I don't have a very objective view of it anymore, I'm afraid. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Nov 10, 2014 |

Yeah I'm hoping to post the album in the beginning of December. At first I thought maybe keeping it up till New Years and then closing down the donations would be a good idea. Now I'm thinking we keep it up until the middle/end of January so as to give people more time to stumble on the album and make a contribution. One lump sum of a donation is the idea though!

I finished my Shruthi-1 build this weekend, holy poo poo this thing is fun. Now I'm looking for another DIY kit. Can anyone recommend something to build next? I'm also interested in pedal kits. A video synth would be fun too, but I don't see many options for those.

I can't tell whether this is a very late April Fool's joke or not, but Synthtopia just posted a story about a $5,000 music production workstation, which is basically a PC with a 10" screen mounted onto a desk that has a few $100 third party MIDI controllers built into it. Even more troubling is the potentially NSFW "Express Yourself" gallery with pics of the workstation just randomly placed in-frame. Gearslutz and Synthtopia commenters are, of course, making GBS threads bricks. P.S. Just got an idea for the Christmas thing this morning. Will see if I can get it done this week.

Replace your laptop&controller with a tiny monitor, some of the cheapest Akai and a huge loving box for 5k? Great idea.

What stand should i get if I want a multi-tier setup? Most of the X/Z-type keyboard stands (like this one) look like you wouldn't be able to have, say, two smaller synths (or a small synth and a drum machine) on one level and a large keyboard controller on another. Or are they more modular than they look? this looks more like what i want (especially if I can add additional supports) but i'm not sure if i have room for it.

For my second tier I just cut a piece of plywood to dimensions. Paint it if you want. Or don't. Works great.

Electribe is out in glorious nippon. Some dude's demo, he's also got unboxing and ableton export vids. I hope the four voice polyphony he showed can be overcome, like dedicating voices to a particular part in a menu or something.

I hope the four voice polyphony he showed can be overcome, like dedicating voices to a particular part in a menu or something. Well it says in the fine print on the spec sheet that it's pseudo polyphony and that filters and other elements can take up voices. I don't see why you couldn't add a second part with the same voice, it would just take up more of your maximum voices.

What I'd really like to do, though, is find... gently caress I dunno what they're called, but the old style terminal supports that straight clamp on to things. Kinda like these, but swivelly and sturdier http://www.agiprodj.com/odyssey-lstand.html?gclid=CPmr-bqq8cECFYGTfgodlSoAHQ

I was thinking adding a lead or something could work.

Go to freesounds.org or somewhere similar (NASA sound archives on internetarchive or soundcloud). Get some interesting background noises. Make them more interesting using distortion and delay and stuff. You can do this on your 'puter or, according to the nanostudio site, in nanostudio. Trim out a most interesting loop of a few bars long from your now most interesting sample. Have nanostudio retrigger it every time it stops playing. Mix it so that it's super way low in the mix. This is a good example of kind of, but not quite, what I'm talking about. Listen, the loop that starts off the beginning of the song never goes away. You can't really hear it except during the breaks, but it's there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ECAplzR8E

I've been screwing around with creating midi controllers and devices with an arduino. I just threw together a dirt simple clock source to synchronize multiple devices, complete with a knob to adjust the tempo -- midi is a really, really simple protocol.

I'm looking for a small simple sample player to play audio clips and that sort of thing over my synths. Right now it looks like the Akai MPX8 is my best bet but I'm wondering if anyone has other similar recommendations I may have missed. I don't have an iPad which would have avoided this entirely so no apps please.

Of course this is done by the same guy who did Open Labs (according the the Synthtopia thread). I sometimes see Nekos on CL with jaw dropping prices, so this is nothing new. Including an LPD8 is a bold move though, a real "gently caress you" to buyers.

One alternative I can think of would be an Alesis Samplepad. Not very small per se, but they are pretty affordable and you could do other stuff with one as well.

I'm a big advocate of having quiet noise as a texture; you'll find wind samples sound pretty naff and are almost too distracting. Things/places to look for good stuff: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ is an online shortwave radio tool from some clever dutch uni peeps; tune it into somewhere between channels and use upperband or lowerband or w/e to en-pinken or en-brownen (so to speak) the noise. Or alternatively just have some weird mongolian shortwave station in the background. Also useful for sleeping. http://macaulaylibrary.org/ - animal noises; good for field recordings. Freesound, of course. This person - http://www.freesound.org/people/inchadney/ - has a lot of good field recordings, many of which are quiet, nighttime ambiences.

I have an Android phone and I originally just used the default music player app but it didn't work as well as I'd have liked since it autoplays the next track once one finishes. I may check out VLC again to see if it has a non-autoplay feature, if it does then that would be the best/cheapest way.

What's everyones favorite euro clockable lfo? I've seen good things about the 4ms, the ModCan and some people are digging the Disting. I've got an ES-4 so maybe I should just get a CV expander instead and software up some LFOs.. but thats not as much fun right?
