This case is really cool, what is it? Did you just dump a system into a case for something else?

Looks like a big Pelican case to me. I use them for my field microscopes, but never thought about using them for a modular!

Looks like he's using the Synthrotek 6U + 1U case. I've got one as well, quite a good enclosure for a small system

Yeah it's the syntrotek case + their diy power supply kit. I built it up around the metropolis and it's all pretty much just standard synth architecture. It's fully duophonic, which is nice, and I use a shapeshifter as my primary osc so I can do all the fun wave table and FM stuff I want.

Edit: the case is international orange btw it's important to keep visibility high when patching.

I really like the VST. It must be about 10 years old now but Korg nailed it and the M1 and tbqh seeing as both are digital synths anyway it doesn't seem to me like you're losing much by having them inside a computer. There's a lot of WS on this ep; it's def a unique synth.

Yeah there's really no reason for me to try to go beyond what I have at the moment physically. I need to get a DAW (I have Audition as part of my Create Suite bundle, but I'm gonna spring for Live) and start working there first. My microbrute and PO's have quenched my physical synth desires.... for now.

The same, except that I don't much care for the Rene, partly because it tends to not recognize my touches unless I lick my fingers a lot which is kind of gross. ES-1, PP+Brains, and Metropolis are all great though.

How do you even use it, though? Apart from using the presets, I've had no luck in even trying to just pick out a single sound (the presets are usually a lot of sounds layered) because the UI is so difficult to use :(
The M1 UI is a bit better, so I mostly use that when I need to get my cheese on.

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun04/articles/korglegacycollection.htm scroll to 'programming wavestation". Really wouldn't want to do it on hardware, even more tedious than D-50.


Edit. Anybody know how to un-blacklist plugins in Live? Just remembered that the wavestation hasn't been showing up for some time.

I think they're about the same (M1 & WS). It looks more painful than it is:



The heirarchy is preset->perform.->part/patch, where each of the last has a max of four waveforms [in the case above: FollowMe, EPIANO_3, 2x Airvox], and the mix of those sounds as you move the stick is determined by the matrix to the right; and that movement can be automated. Probably the easiest thing to do starting off is find a patch with one performance and limited parts and start fiddling. The pads will probably be hella complicated; so maybe try a bell sound? I'm not in the studio at the mo but will be able to help more later on if you like...

By the way for folks in the USA who are interested in some Doepfer modules, the favorable exchange rate makes them a lot cheaper at Thomann than at Analoguehaven. Like 2/3rds the price or even less.

Yeah, especially if you buy several at once. Just in case you didn't already have enough reasons to do that.

As an example a 101-3 is 310 shipped from Thomann and 425+ship from AH. About 30 of that Thomann price is shipping and I think won't change unless you order a ton of stuff, where AH keeps tacking more on for every additional item.

Speaking of favorable exchange rates, I'm going to Japan tomorrow and the Yen is at 120 to the dollar. Is there anything cool I should pick up, or any good synth shops to check out? I'm leaning towards buying an SQ-1 and some sort of Volca (probably Bass).

Picked up a microphone bit for the littlebits today. Running Orphion on the iPad through a littlebits frequency modulated filter and a delay. A+ would synth again.
Ordered some of the prototyping bits today, when they come in I'm going to have to make a cheapo distortion bit.

Installing the arduino ide onto my lay in bed laptop. This is the week I start working on practicing c, really I mean it this time.

edit: modding the filter bit so it accommodates something akin to keyboard scaling would also be super sweet.
