i'm still confused on what the OP-Z is, is it a hardware controller that is used with an ios/android app that was created in unity?

Photex posted:i'm still confused on what the OP-Z is, is it a hardware controller that is used with an ios/android app that was created in unity? It's mainly a sequencer with built-in synth engines and samplers, similar to those in the OP-1. The biggest difference is that it focuses on having a complex sequencer that is geared toward full song sequencing, rather than having the internal recording features of the OP-1. It does have a recording buffer that's used for funky tape trick effects (which can be sequenced). The sequencer can also control external lights, and if you hook it up to an iPad or whatever, the companion app can display visuals in a couple of ways. The first is using photos on your device to make sort of an animated slide show (it looks cooler than that sounds), and the second is by running an interactive Unity scene. There will be a toolkit for Unity to build things that can be loaded into the app and sequenced. There's also a microphone, and, uh, probably more stuff I'm forgetting. edit: it's worth mentioning that if you don't need the visuals, you don't need an iOS device. The lights on the OP-Z give you all the feedback you need for playing and sequencing. The iOS device might also be used for loading samples and backing up patches and stuff.

Goddamn the OPz is well over $200 more than what I was expecting. Looks cool but where I could justify the price of the op1 this thing doesn't seem that great? Even in therms of design it looks confusing and kind of ugly while the op1 is really inviting. Even the POs are charming and approachable. I'm not feeling this thing at all.

A guy on Reddit bought a Jupiter 8 for $20 at a garage sale in Atlanta this morning: https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/94kk2e/broken_jupiter_8/

I received a Arturia MiniLab, but it didn't come with the Ableton Lite software, whats a good (free if possible) program I can use to mess around with this thing?

Reaper. Not free - but very cheap and very capable. Tracktion 6 is also an option.

Getting close to filling my case (Mantis): The top modules are Pamela's, Mother32, and Function (all used in pretty much every patch), followed close in usage by Tonnetz sequent, Wasp filter, and STO (also that 2hp mixer). The rest is all good, but I could potentially see myself swapping out if needed or if they became redundant with other new modules. I'll have another mixer and VCA very soon once I finish soldering them, and I have some ideas of what to grab next: something resembling reverb/delay, a vc switch, maybe a logic module - any massive functionality gaps I'm blindly missing?

Holy poo poo. I laughed so hard that I'm crying. Wow. That synth review is a pro-click if there ever was one. loving poo poo, still laughing. As soon as the loving 3 stooges' Curley "NERK NERK NERK NERK" poo poo started I completely lost it.

Fiddling with start and end points of samples is fiddly tho. I'm happy with this change as it makes it a much more viable sample machine.

It's pretty much the definition of a box to grab half-price in a year on the second-hand market when it's capabilities and limits are better understood and the early dreamers have moved onto the next shiny. e: much like the volca keys.

The brains (Maddox) left the company before this was developed, does that mean anything? Dunno but if you're looking at it in the context of the rest of their line, just a heads up.

First iteration of my modular has is producing bleeps and bloops. I have a Three Sisters on its way in the post because I'm just not feeling the ladder filter on the Boog - it's pretty dull for the sorts of sounds I run through it. For next steps, I'm either gonna pick up a Morphagene for sonic mangling and possibilities, or a Rings for some extra voices. There are a few nice little perks from having a 0-Coast right now - an LPG output, another Maths style cycle, a stepped random voltage generator and other oscillators and LFOs, so I'm happy to be able to just prop it up in the case. I have it taped into place with masking tape and it fits snugly. I can see it slowly fading away though as I replicate more of its functionality in the rack in general. The Boog I'm pretty unimpressed with as a modular piece and I mainly use it for the filter now, and that's kinda boring. I did quickly come to the realisations that no, you really can't ever have too many VCAs and also the Tangle Quartet is a beautiful module. I'm also super happy I opted for a buffered mult on my first module blast too, as it makes everything go much further. The small rack has plenty of secrets to be discovered and I'm still getting my head around the Arpitect in particular, but Maths' attenuverters make it much better. It's great for my wallet that I've been able to hold off on sequence based modules because of how good the Deluge works with modular. It has a 3.5mm clock input which I can feed from Pamela's, or I can feed Pamela clock and run signals from the gate outputs if I want to control the BPM from the Deluge directly. The two direct CV/Gate channels on the Deluge open up huge possibilities too, especially when combined with the probability based sequencing you can do. So now I'm properly hooked on Eurocraic and I'm counting the days till my next paycheck to throw another variable into the equation. Really happy I went this route and didn't just pick up a Peak or a big old synth again; this is far more up my musical alley.

On a semi-related note, I saw Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda at a theater yesterday for a bio of the YMO member/film composer. It's a rather pensive doc that doesn't try and go for any forced drama or suspense but it was a nice sorta meditation on creating music and him pursuing found sounds alongside some synth porn in his studio. Would probably be a nice one for home viewing with some nice speakers as well. Something to keep an eye out for when it goes on streaming services and such.

The albums he's done with Alva Noto are pretty much my go-to studying-music.

I figured that this thread would be the best place for this question: I'm trying to run two midi tracks going out to two different hardware synthesizers simultaneously on my daws (cubase elements, reaper, and FL Studio) but it will only send midi signal to one synth at a time. In this case, the two midi outs are an SQ-1 midi out and a roland UM-ONE out. What am I doing wrong here? Why won't the two midi tracks just work?

Are both tracks armed? Usually DAWs default to only arming one track at a time. That’s what I’d double-check first. Then again, I think that also usually only applies to audio tracks.

MIDI channels is my go-to answer for "why does device X not send/receive MIDI". It's quick to check and it's such an easy thing to overlook, especially if you have to menu dive for your synths' MIDI settings (or worse, hook them up to the PC, looking at you Microbrute).

I want to do more interesting things with simple sines and layers of distortion. Simple saturation isn't enough; I want to explore the kinds of effect chains and parameter modulation that can create complex harmonics and gritty textures out of one single sine. The problem is, most often I just end up overdoing the saturation part and getting squarewaves, or any sort of movement or time-based effect I add in an attempt to coax weird harmonics ends up a sludgy mess. I can't seem to nail down a process for turning a simple sub bass into an evolving project. As you might have guessed, this post was heavily-inspired by my recently-rekindled fascination with the DOOM soundtrack. I also have a sneaking suspicion some of my favourite D&B right now is constructed in a similar way - not with mountains of detuned oscillators or FM, from the ground up by bussing out the sub bass to judicious effect chains. Any ideas for starting points with this kind of thing? Particular time-based effects like phasers, and how to employ them to coax out harmonics/inharmonics from a sine? In what order to stack them against saturation effects?
