stand is this one which isnt cheap but still 20 bucks less than that loving metal sheet moog calls a rack

to do:

* rise the audio interface up, maybe use one of those acryllic display cubes they use for jewelry
* something to accommodate the analog four (that ikea stand may work, dunno)
* get a better set of monitors than that horrible klipsch -- it sounds descent enough but the interface is horrible
* eventually gonna get a beatstep pro, korg odyssey and maybe a system 1m so better put those somewhere
* actually make music

oh and some sort of padding on the ms-20 -- i found out the hard way that the sq-1 has two sharp screws on its bottom and now my 20 is all scratched up :/ put some electrical tape down but still

and maybe have this stuff on a desk pad or something rather than a god damned tablecloth?

Yeah, why on earth would people using analog, or linear, gear for high end, precision audio generation favor smooth, clean, linear, power sources?

Your gear isn't that precision, your music isn't that magical, and if you really gave a gently caress about audio fidelity you'd be running lead acid batteries

Switchers are fine as long as you hang some filtering off the rear end end. loving around with ten pounds of power transformer is extremely 1983

hmmmm I quite like the look of this yamaha reface dx thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR47UZNwxlM

I'm a big fan of FM synths, but they're usually shite to edit. this seems pretty good. would be perfect (for me) if it was like a 2U rack synth instead, with the same interface. but whatevs. now, ofc, even more perfecter would be a huge synth with dedicated knobs and sliders for everything, but that's never going to happen.

I'm seeing two knobs, a track pad and a bunch of buttons. The only way that would be easier to program is if it had fewer parameters. Man the gently caress up, buy a tg-77 or even a tx81z and get a software programmer.

used to have a tx81z, but kept getting midi buffer overrides whenever I tried to control it from software or a bcr2000 so no thx bro.

if you watch how he actually edits it you'll see those four touch sliders combined with function buttons actually work p well. a lot better than 'press ^ a million times to change a value from 0 to 127'.

i think it's cool and good that they put macro edit buttons on there, it's like the old k5000s or the fm/pcm home keyboards yamaha put out and they were smart enough to leave menu diving for us gross nerds

Wow, a promotional demo video made some look like it works p well. I'm sure that's an absolute poo poo interface once you try and edit envelopes or do anything with algorithm routing. Maybe get another tx81z and learn how to set up midi delay and timeout correctly. Or get a tg77 which can be programed comfortably from the front panel.

not like I'm gonna run out and buy one anyway, price at the end of the vid says £379 which is too much for this. but if it's as good as I hope it is, I'll get a used one for cheap-o in a years time.
