It's what the monomachine looked like when they released it with a keyboard. It's such a lame/awkward look.

It's a lovely synth. I just sold mine as I use my modular now, but it has great sounds and is really feature rich. The arpeggiator is great and the MPE support is cool.

The native MPE support was the main criteria (I purchased a Linnstrument earlier this year), and the MicroMonsta was the best value overall. I'm mostly doing live looping these days with a Boss RC-505 and plan to use the arpeggiator a lot, auto BPM syncing the Micromonsta from the RC-505. It's going to be fun :)

I knew the Micromonsta was small, but didn't expect it to be that small. I've only been playing around with it for ~30 mins or so, and wow... What a loving lovely bit of kit.

Was just about to post that XD module.

That thing looks just about perfect.
You don't even need to have a keyboard as a trigger. You can trigger notes right from the module.

B&H has the XD module up for $589, vs the $619 that the keyboard costs (and some stores like ProAudioStar will throw in a case for the same price). Space savings aside that difference doesn’t seem worth it to me. Does the module do anything that the keyboard can’t aside from being smaller? It’s a 5% cost reduction.

I think when people complained about the keys being "cheap" on the 'logues they were also being literal. Korg is putting $30 keybeds into these things. The ones I tried out at the store made me frown for sure. I'd rather use my Arturia I think.

Pretty much this. I'd rather lose the keys on the keyed XD to save table space and attach something with a nicer keybed or something that has it's own keyboard stand.

Novation has a new synth out that is decidedly not inexpensive but also looks pretty capable:

That’s fair. I sold my OG Minilogue a few months ago but it never got very much use. The wood panel on mine didn’t seem to fit perfectly well and seemed to warp a tiny bit.

Korg Nu:Tekt - A DIY brand of hardware they are releasing. The one shown here uses the same engine as the 'logues. Fully programmable and tweakable, and if you come up with your own filters or software, it can also supposedly be installed on the 'logues also. Skip to about 3m if you want to skip the intro of the creator of the sound engine in all these things.

You can hack the software and hardware.

This was free on CL. :vince: Yamaha D-80 from 1977
Its beautiful and works with internal speakers, all on a type A plug. The insides look wild. I will post a picture once I get a good light source in there.

I think those have the same voice boards from the cs-80 lines, but the filters are fixed.

If everything works - that's great! So many of these are just dead or malfunctioning and it's a pain to fix them. I see transistor organs like these lots of times at the recycling station.

I tried to give away the piano from my late Father's house last month and some clueless jerk on a BUNZ group said they were interested but actually loving asked me "are you going to pay to have it moved here?"

Congrats on the nice find, goodness. If I had space for something like that I'd snap it up too.

nice of them to realize that when you say "bass" in an instrument like that everyone is going to be thinking 303 anyways.

I usually find polysynths a bit too "synth-y" for me, but that sounds amazing. I also found the guy's presentation winning. Nick keeps asking questions and he keeps playing, like he can't believe how good it sounds.

I don't quite feel the nubass hype. I mean it's great that they finally have accent and slide functionality, but I'm really not sure what the tube oscillator is even contributing to the sound, usually tubes shine at creating harmonics but any old oscillator is bursting with those anyway. Maybe I'll feel differently when I hear it in a proper mix, but the demos make it sound thin and uninteresting.

The microfreak tickles me in all the right ways, and so does that super 6. I'm so glad we're going towards this best of both worlds approach as far as analog and digital is concerned, instead of looking down on one or the other and/or getting stuck in reverence for vintage stuff only. I mean that's fine, but show me some innovation in the field as well.

Are there any isomorphic keyboard controllers with velocity sensitivity? All I can find are either old, expensive, experimental ones from the 90's or variations of the Novation Launch Pad.
