I'd get one with as many knobs and faders as you can afford for tactility and less fiddling with the mouse (once you've got it mapped). If you have space go for 49 keys- I often find 25 just isn't enough. Also I guess it depends what soft synth(s) you were planning on using most with it- the more parameters, the more controls you will likely want. At the risk of sounding GASsy, if you are serious(ish) about this, get the best thing you can afford rather than doing what I did and buying a crappy M-Audio, finding it lacking and having to get something better a few months after.

A Reddit synth mystery: This craigslist ad for a "custom vintage synthasizer" for $60. But what in the gently caress is it?

RE: How to get samples from Timbre Wolf video, don't install poo poo or try to ghetto record it, just use http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ . It's perfectly safe, legal (as of right now) and run by an awesome dude. You don't need to install the addon or anything, just paste in the URL and hit convert

Cool thanks, I guess my budget is around $400 - $500 really but I'd be willing to drop a few more on it if need be. Any recommendations in that price range?

Kork Taktile 49 is in that range, and I like mine pretty well. The knobs and faders and the stock setup seems more aimed at controlling a DAW for mixing than controlling virtual instruments, though.

How do you send bank changes from an Octatrack to a Blofeld? The program change knob works but not the bank change. I also tried assigning knobs to midi cc 0 and 32, no luck!

I realize none of you ever listen to me but.... No matter how many knobs and faders you get, they will never be enough and they will -never- be laid out the way you want them to be. and you're going to have to print out, like, labels or masks for -every- different soft synth you use or else you're never going to remember which knob goes to what. So get something with keys that you like and really just worry about that. Maybe get a berhinger bc-2000 because it -almost- has enough knobs to satiate. Man, I guess if Akai ever makes a stand alone filter it will have to be called the Pole Cat

The 3ds ms-20 app is pretty good to make, eh... sorta stockish analog noises with. I'd recommend both over bravely default, but unless you actually want to make music with them I'd recommend them both under a link between worlds. http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/j4VgyH_Uce0wHj2_L6xHl6ZoRHpXmwKl This is the early '90s workstation thingy, you can make actual music with it no problem, though it may sound a little dated and there's not a lot you can do to patch the individual sounds http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/EsVE_ldkt5IaTlJYN7iqans9kQaKZgAx This is the analog noise factory. Also pretty useful for making actual music with, but not as good for that as the other one. Pretty good to learn the basics of analog synthesis if you haven't played around with it before. Probably the more fun of the two to play around with. http://bravelydefault.nintendo.com/ This is anime garbage and please don't feed the corpse of square enix for the sake of nostalgia. http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/Z6ft-sYy0pxxdkRc-dIxtTH7XHqWVLl9 This is one of the best games to come out in recent memory. You should get it, then get one of the Korg apps.

starbarry clock posted:is the korg app on the 3ds e-shop any good? ive been thinking about getting it since its not very expensive considering but if its not good i might as well get bravely default instead 1) There are two Korg apps (M1 for rompler goodness and DSN-12 for DS10 synth goodness) 2) They're both great, but pretty clunky to use 3) Bravely Default is also great DSN-12 is definitely easier to use than M1, but they both share the same base and most of the interface. My biggest gripe is how you have to structure an entire song made with just loops and no color coding or anything, so it can get confusing if you're doing more than a 30 second loop. They're both fun to play around with, but if you just want the sounds you should go for something like Korg Legacy Collection. On the other hand, people are doing stuff like this with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKviyomUhw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1Dogq8g35c e: Sizone posted:http://bravelydefault.nintendo.com/ Oh come on, A Link Between Worlds is fantastic, but it feeds on the same nostalgia that Bravely does  (Squenix are still shitlords though)Nonetheless, you should buy A Link Between Worlds.

This is a good way to put it. I ran a copy of DSN-12 just exactly long enough to realize that if I really wanted to use it, I'd be better off using the equivalent on my iPad e: Your Computer posted:

People who grew up addicted to JRPGs would tell you otherwise As a person who grew up with ALttP and FFVI as my biggest crushes, I'd say they're both in the same spot.ALBW pandered a bit too much to nostalgia to be good standalone, but I won't deny that Bravely is anime garbage. Korg M01 playing a real proper oldschool game soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ELfefzzGY&t=51s (As you can clearly see in this video, it's all green boxes. There's no telling what part plays what, which is where the clunky part comes in)

ashgromnies posted:No Octatrack/Blofeld users here? MnM here, should be similar because elektron doesn't change much. MSB(0) works save it won't choose bank A for whatever reason. LSB(32) works as expected. This is both sending the changes immediately as well as plocking them to trigless trigs and hitting play. Make sure you've got the CC set properly for the track/channel and set to the blofeld's channel. Make sure the blofeld is on a later firmware, I remember there being bugs with bank change on earlier ones. I'm running 1.15. It's 0-7 for the banks A-G, btw.

I'm looking to throw a Kaoss pad at some of my gear but I'm concerned that some of them have garbage midi clocking from external sources. Can anyone recommend which version is best when it comes to stability?
