I had a circuit and sold it. The online editor makes it a lot better but I still never jived with the timbres I was getting with the built in synth engine. Which I think is based on the *-nova line? Sometimes I sell gear and rebuy it (SP404 is next on that list) but I have no desire to own a circuit again

A MIRACLE posted:Deluge looks impenetrable to me. How do you remember what little square does what? The little squares are the easy part, they're all labeled. What's tricky is the DAW-like features, changing clip length, transposing notes, copy/paste, etc. Those all happen with various combinations of the knobs and buttons at the top of the Deluge. For example, to clear your clip of notes, you press and hold the left-right knob and press Back. It's not obvious, but it does have a "language" to it, and you memorize the features quickly enough. The manual is always there to refer to when you forget or need some other shortcut. Using a DAW is way easier, but then I have a screen in front of me, and god I already have enough of that in my day.

Wanting to build a patch bay so all my pedals and synths are readily available by moving a simple 1/4" cable (I have too many instruments). Anyone else go this route? What patch bays would you recommend / avoid? Currently eyeing this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SPatchPlus--samson-s-patch-plus-48-point-balanced-patchbay

What patch bays would you recommend / avoid? Currently eyeing this: I had that something like that setup for a bit. I need to get it setup again, but I'm still figuring out my permanent synth setup. I recommend checking local stores for used gear, path bays like that are very common so you can get an older one for dirt cheap used. I think I paid less than $20 for mine? I recommend a strong labeling and color coding solution for cables. I was bad at keeping mine up to date when I made changes so it got confusing.

Also stick to standard 1/4" patch bays (which that samson one is) unless you have a strong desire to buy a bunch of bantam/TT cables that you can only use with one thing, and spend a disproportionately large amount of time fiddling around with wiring posts or solder lugs. That said I can imagine even used TT patchbays are probably 10x the cost of 1/4" ones. edit: to add actually useful information, I'm not sure there's any real price difference these days, but depending on how you're going to use the patchbay, you may not necessarily need a patchbay with switchable modes. Most of the time, you can get by with a patch bay that's either normalled or half-normalled and never think about it again. Thru mode is kind of an oddball and probably isn't super necessary unless you know you'll need that kind of setup, and honestly I'd probably create a headache for myself if I had a switchable one that had thru mode like that Samson one you linked. That said, that may just be the standard these days, or going with one that doesn't give you switchable options may not save you that much money, I haven't looked in ages.

I really wish I had space in my apartment to rig everything up to the patch bay and have a half normalled setup with everything wired through the back. Maybe at my next place

Solid as gently caress, no soldering, and the normaling switches are ON THE FRONT, which is apparently a rarity. Right now I have my hard synths and Mini Moogerfoogers plugged into it so I can route signals a lot easier than swapping everything around with full cables. Best hundo I ever spent on the studio.

Currently eyeing this: i just had one of those arrive today but haven't set it up yet, it looks cool and good, and like its probably better than the cheaper behringer one i was originally planning on can't wait to do use easy plugs instead of hard plugs

Thanks to the folks who provided earlier encouragement in the thread re: the Digitone. This just showed up today and it's immensely pleasing: The hardware feels great -- satisfying to handle and to click the buttons, feels very sturdy -- and I was expecting the screen to look nice, but it's incredible (none of the videos I watched on youtube really could do justice to how sharp and clear it is). And just messing around with the first of the factory patterns and tweaking parameters has been a tremendous amount of fun. I had a little doubt going in, like maybe this was too much to start with and something smaller and cheaper would a better launching off point coming from no hardware synths, but this already seems like a great idea and something that I'll enjoy pouring a lot of time into. Now to spend more time reading the manual and watching Cuckoo look back at me through his little mirror. One quick question -- in fooling around with parameters just now, I did something (not sure what, probably something with decay and release, and maybe reverb) that resulted in a note that was both unpleasant and went on really long -- like it took a very long time to fade out. Is there some button shortcut to just stop a note from playing (like the way on an MPC you can double tap stop to just immediately stop anything that's playing)? It faded away eventually, and I assume it was something I did to create in fiddling with parameters too quickly, but is there a way to just quickly stop a long note?

Most of the YouTube versions of that are some flavor of the producer sampling into a box and arranging. I think it might be fun and get me to make another track lol

Eventide/ Newfangled Audios free synth is so loving good https://www.eventideaudio.com/promo/pendulate Chaotic wavetable thing.

Probs go with Adam T7V myself if I didn’t want to size down from 6”. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Sep 26, 2020 |

I need to pick up a new master keyboard and occasional solo keyboard. I’d like to get something that: * has 61+ keys, 73-76 is probably ideal, 88 is fine * has a nice keybed. Hammer action isn’t necessary but a quality semi weighted would be good * has USB for control along with MIDI * has a decent onboard / self contained piano, Rhodes, Hammond * I don’t *need* mappable / midi able sliders etc, but it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. Definitely need pitch and mod. I hang out with a guy who uses a Juno Stage as his main board because he’s had it for years and I like the idea of an fancy older board that’s cheap now. Those go for about $600ish these days and that’s probably a good budget to shoot for. Or I’m open to something newer that meets the above criteria. Something like an older Fantom or something might be fine but I don’t really need all the sequencer workstation stuff. Thoughts?

Sunday morning has turned into this nice time for me to work on experimental stuff. Formants are very interesting to me and I patched something like this thing from the A-121 manual: The filters aren't identical but both 12 dB slope, I attenuated the LFO a bit and threw in a little S&H. It needs more work but for now you can hear the LFO and its inversion make the two band pass signals "complain" to each other. The envelope is a maybe a little too snappy. I'm going to see if I can get some vowel sounds out of this thing today. https://soundcloud.com/user-44349750/bandpass-chatter

Just a heads up, youtubesman BoBeats is running a promo where you can grab one of his sound packs for free this weekend. Has a few for the Circuit and the Minilogue. Here's a link straight to the store page and use code "birthdaypresent" for a 100% discount on any one thing. I am not a shill, I just like free poo poo.
