http://youtu.be/C2q2bis6eLE Also, it occurs to me that there is a far more natural solution to this whole MiniNova v. Microbrute issue. K. Davis simply hasn't matured to this point yet. You don't call around music stores and look for the best price on a new Microbrute. You wait and you wait and then you buy one for $160 from a guy

I had an Electribe EMX for a while to see if I liked step sequencing. While I did, I couldn't get into the sounds available and it sounded the wrong kind of old. I'm going to wait for a Monomachine to show up used but in the meantime, is spending money on an rm1x worth it? I'm way more familiar with Yamaha's synths than Korg's and I'm wondering if the sound palette will make it worth it for the minimal price, or is it tossing good money after bad? On paper it looks to be a better buy than the EMX but it's money I don't technically need to spend but I like step sequencing and can't justify investing in any Elektron equipment with Christmas around the corner.

Fully integrate my MS-20 into it since with that I'll have 2 semi-modular synths with the Mother 32 to use as oscillators, filters, or modulation sources. Also, the 32 can sequence the MS-20.

Gotcha. For what it's worth, I've had great success using the MS20's oscillators via the TOTAL jacks at the top, with the T.EXT knob set to about 9 or so. No need to convert to Hz/V or any of that nonsense. Mind you I've only tried setting pitch -- haven't screwed around with triggers and all that, but I might soon -- it'd be nice to have a HPF before the Moog's LPF.

Bottom one is more synthesizer but the top one is more interesting imo. I would consider replacing the maths with maybe like a 4ms pingable envelope generator or a MI peaks + some other things, maybe a clock divider of some sort? In other news the spectral madness mode on clouds is fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3AiDkxDJAE

A Winner is Jew posted:So with the Mother 32 and now the Roland modules released, hypothetically speaking if I were to build a small modular which one would be better and why? I think the top one would give a bit more variety to the sound (the bottom one feels more like a Moog complete voice and a Roland one), but both would make some good sounds I'm sure. I've had Elements for a while and I keep feeling like I'm using it for the same stuff, so I'm not sure if that lack of variety is the module or me; assume it's me for now. Finally got to play around on the Mother 32 this weekend for about 30-40 minutes; nobody there really had the sequencer figured out so we didn't get to play with that too much beyond play/stop but as a synth voice it sounds pretty good and you can get a good variety of sounds from it. The patch matrix is a bit unintuitive for me but YMMV. Overall it feels like a really solid synth block - probably not something I immediately need given I've got an assortment of voices already but it sounds good (even when not drenched in reverb like most demos) and is a great value for the buck.

For modular folks, is there any feature or features that makes the Mother-32 more desirable than say an Intelijel Atlantis or anything similar out there? I want one as an analog voice for my electribes to sequence, and because I think it does bass better than my other mostly digital gear does. I mean, are modular folks looking to get a Moog sounding voice, or just the filter, or is it just a value thing?

I mean, are modular folks looking to get a Moog sounding voice, or just the filter, or is it just a value thing? Mother-32 has a built in 32-step sequencer with memory, midi-to-CV (very important if you're sequencing from an Electribe), a "keyboard" built in and can be bought as a standalone powered/cased module with a dedicated integrated output jack. And it's cheaper than the Atlantis (at least the prices I scanned for it). if you want an Atlantis you're going to have to shell out for two of the four above things to get it to work with an Electribe anyway. The voices will be different sounding, and obviously that's a personal choice, but as a value proposition the Mother 32 is almost impossible to match with the current price of things.

stillvisions posted:Always the best answer to "Which 6U setup is better" It's mostly that there are a ton of options and I really wouldn't want to go down the wrong path since modular is retard expensive. I mean looking at this based off of peoples recommendations:  That's $3k without a case which I can get this verbose system (which from demo's looks amazing, like a hybrid buchla/euro) for and then I could just add an FH-1 for ipad sequencing and English Tear to for ms-20 integration.

Unless you forget to get an oscillator/sound source then there really isnt a wrong path. you can get the verbos system and theres enough room for an elements, and the mother 32 can be standalone. You can also sell a couple modules and swap them out as you use it and learn more about what they do / you want. I'd be hard pressed to justify loosing that much rack space to a mother 32, if i got one it'd stay outside of the case.

Had my first serious love-in with the OP-1 last night, pulling stuff off of FM radio into the tape is not nearly as gimmicky as I thought it would be, and is actually really interesting, especially when overdubbing onto a loop. Also the synths are cool, getting more of the hang of the flow of the thing now. There's been love for the TNR-i on iOS, and I'm about to get it, but there's also this TNR-e thing, which is, as far as I can tell, basically the same app with different sounds "for dance music and dub step", and a black & red color scheme? For the same price? Anyone used it? Also, anyone with iMASCHINE 2, does that work with MASCHINE 1.x, or just MASCHINE 2.x on the PC side? Thanks!

Value is as good a reason as any, just wondering if there was something more qualitative, like having a real Moog filter as opposed to a clone.

Good sequencer with some nice features (glide), real moog filter, plus a bunch of other things like standard lfo/env/midi in one package that's dirt cheep in a module with that many features.

For me, I really wanted a Moog style filter and I "needed" some of the utility to round out my case: sequencer, mid->cv, another buffered multi, noise. The price was too good to pass up considering I also get (admittedly less featureful) osc, lfo & envelope basically for free. Interestingly, I had planned to put it into my case but it looks nice enough that I'll keep it as it came since that opens up 60hp in my case...

Some mighty sweet pre-Black Friday deals here (crossposted in iOS-specific thread): http://discchord.com/blog/2015/11/25/app-sales-black-wednesday.html This list has already changed between Tuesday and Wednesday so expect several refreshes over the next two days, and probably on Cyber Monday(ugh) too. If history repeats itself and we get lucky you can expect to see all of the Korg apps on that list come Friday. Gadget is totally worth $20 if you have an iPad. (It's not doubleposting if it's been a day, right?)

His prices seem higher than Thonk even after shipping across the pond so double check stock and pricing at Thonk before ordering. Have a happy thanksgiving

Traded my Mopho desktop for a Reface DX today. I never found myself really using the Mopho after getting my fill of its programming paradigm. The Reface is not bad, and the interface isn't as awful as I expected. The architecture doesn't suck too bad, but I find the feedback to impart a sameyness, but I guess that makes it predictable. I never used a DX with different waveforms so maybe this is old ground. 1 LFO still makes no sense to me, though. Being able to make SoundBlaster / Genesis style FX while on the couch makes it 100% worth it. Would trade again.

Real content: Waves Trueverb is free today, via waves.com. I don't think I've played with a pro grade reverb plug ever so this should be interesting.

Glitchy bass + percussion - check out the pitch EG. Try applying it to only the modulators, or only one of them. Edit: The only thing that's really bugging me about the architecture is that the keyboard level/rate scaling split point is fixed at C3. Microtuning would have been great, but just being able to move the split point would go a long way. Tan Dumplord fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Nov 27, 2015 |
