Marc Doty's videos are great but he loves synthesizers so much that whatever synth he's currently demoing is the best synth ever, just listen to that filter bvvwwwwoooooaaaahhhhhmmm.

 Looks like the big 909 day release is (rumored) SMD Analog 303 and 909 boutique reissues. And the AIRA/Serato product is, supposedly, a controller with jogwheels and a TR-8 built in (that is having major syncing issues), but I haven't seen pics confirming that yet. (Suck it, AIRA fans). Someone on Muffs got me thinking about a boutique Alpha Juno which is the only thing I'd need to get me an all-boutique 90s hard house setup. But on the flip I think my poly-303 is now within reach.

Any chance of an op-1 bundle type deal for labor day? I know they don't really go on sale, but a case or something would be nice. Any suggestions for where to look?

I've been recording a lot of ambient/drone-y things as a combination practice/sketch-pad/study tool and I'm really happy with this one: https://soundcloud.com/technoliches/heaven-3-the-influence-of-the-stars-upon-fate This is a whole bunch of things through a whole bunch of other things, with the mixer outs through a Deco into my sound card. Standouts are the Boss RE-200 the x0xb0x is hooked to (12 bit delay and inverted signal) and the JV-1010 doing half the pad duties. I turned my nose up at cheap digital delay and romplers for years but it turns out they're my favorite things.

I've never seen any kind of discounts or bundles on any Teenage Engineering stuff, and I kept an eye out for them for quite a while. Used is probably going to be best bet if you want to save cash.

I have and it works in the sense that it plays notes as commanded, but I haven't used its arpeggiator yet. One thing about it that annoys me is that 0V is by default all the way down at C-2, and won't output negative voltages. You can't select the 0V point in hardware either -- need the control center software to do so.

Gotta say though I do like its aftertoucn action. Doesn't require me to break my fingers like I do with my D-50 or the big MIDI controller I gotta get around to ditching sometime.

Wait, why the gently caress would you need to time your goddamned golf swing? What difference does it make if you swing 2 seconds earlier or later? "You know what was wrong with your swing? It was 10:30:02" "Swiiiiing....... NOW!" Or maybe synchronized golfing has emerged to spruce up the dying game?

Should have made a Volca Snare first. Anyway, randomly came across this cooperation:  It's pretty expensive (~1600€), but it has Prophet-6 analogue filters, a 7 inch touch screen, midi, 8 outputs and reads mass storage over usb. No reason I'm posting this but my initial surprise to see Pioneer in the game. But seeing how it links up with their other DJ gear, it's starting to make sense. Seems pretty well equipped.

It's the perfect instrument to cover Ice Ice Baby. The Volcas have been tempting me for some time. The sample and FM fill two gaps in my rig and the sequencing seems capable.

Volca kick looks interesting, that and a volca sample seems like enough for me to gently caress around with techo otb, and wouldnt even need a sequencer to start with. Is there a cheap box that does enveloped white/pink noise?

Sample owns as a drum/rhythm machine with the only drawbacks being the lack of a huge bottom end that the beats (and more than likely the kick will have) and you have to load samples into it from an external device. Paired with a multi effects unit it's pretty much the only non software drum machine I've really needed outside of just running my ms-20 as my bass/snare.

Then lets figure out some standard so we can mount them all together in a rack and use a uniform power supply and voltage for all of them. Then we can get other companies to start making Volca format boxes and begin charging more money than god for a fully usable synth!

So, the question now is have we reached the peak and crash of eurorack? I'm on another group for euro and I've been seeing a lot of "selling all my gear" posts in the last little while. I think we've reached the point where people haven't touched their racks for about six months and are giving up on it; is that the sign of the end times and we're going back to niche, especially since big synth makers are finally releasing analog gear that's decently priced? I mean, there'll always be a market for it somewhere but I'm wondering how long they'll keep trying to push it alongside electribes.

I'm seriously considering dumping mine before I get any more invested, honestly. I haven't even filled my Pittsburg Cell 90 and I'm already starting to see the overall cost required for me to do a lot of what I want to do. That, on the back of stuff like Reaktor Blocks getting closer to scratching the non-fixed architecture synth itch I have, makes Euro seem much less like it's freeing me from constraints and more like I'm paying a premium for knobs. I know with Euro you're literally always paying a premium for knobs, but I feel like it lost the appealing customization it once had now that I have software options that can do what I want them to, and do it so much faster and with less hassle. I love the tactile nature of Euro, and I will go down rabbit holes and find fascinating sounds I would never find otherwise, but I still don't feel like the cost is justified for me. I might hold on to most of what I have and maybe try to limit myself to a really interesting 90hp box, but I'm not sure I wouldn't rather put the money elsewhere. I admit, I started in on Euro right about when all these major manufacturers started spitting out steals like the Minilogue, and it was literally the worst time to start with modular. It's hard to argue with the price vs utility you see coming out of major manufacturers.

Scatterfold posted:looks good from my sanctimonious viewpoint Yes but I'm at least hoping for a little more first-hand saturation or the second-hand market is still gonna be full of people looking to cash in on euro "snobs", just like any other niche market. I'm sure the bigger names like Pittsburg and Doepfer and Makenoise will have enough out there, but half the fun of modular is chasing down the weirdo little boxes, and if there's anything guitar has shown me, it's that weirdo little boxes are just as bad, if not worse, on the used market.
