Finally got around to proving out the concept that I can make a Magic Leap augmented reality app controlled by my OP-Z synthesizer. Now I have to do the actual hard part, design and build the game you play with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOrldKX0tI

It's just so full of juicy sounds and weird surprises. It's been over twenty years with the Cs1x and I still feel bad for having my dad buy it for me, we didn't even have any money.  This is a common story for Cs1x owners because it's a hateful blue piece of poo pooThe recordable envelopes/parameters -thing the An1x has seems like such a great idea and should be on every digital synth at this point really, and out of the JP8000-MS2000-An1x -trio of big nineties VA's it's the one that sounds genuinely nice still.

At a certain point I got on a buying spree of VAs, and I got a JP8080 to finally figure out what it was all about. Really didn't gel with it, the AN1x might've lacked the supersaw but it sounded better and more interesting to me.

So after a few weeks with the neutron I've ordered a small skiff and power supply. First modules are going to be a dual vca and a cold mac, then either Pamela's new workout or ornament and crime. Some European site leaked picture of a korg sq-64. Doesn't look like there's knobs per step, and all the info seems to be taken down now, but gonna wait for details on that before springing for a cv sequencer. E: here's the best image I could find

Sweet_Joke_Nectar posted:How’s the interface? Is it menu-divey or is everything pretty easily accessible? Most parameters are pretty easy access. There are a few different "pages" across eight knobs, and with experience they become pretty intuitive. Deeper editing is a pain, because everything is done through these +/- buttons which can get a bit divey and it can take a while to become familiar and fluent with the parameters. This unfortunately also includes the naming of presets. It's still a pretty good compromise considering the overall depth you get, I just wish there was an encoder or jog wheel for the right-hand side of the interface.

"Better than a notoriously difficult to deal with 30 year old digital synth that can ben 100% replicated in software" is not the brightest selling point though

Yep this is a "this is what it is" - nothing really new under the sun but it does what it says on the tin. My "I want an FM synth" feelings were immediately surpassed by a "I don't want to bother deep diving on an FM synth". Maybe after I get the Wavestate figured out... so never I guess. I'm sure it's someone's bag, just not really much new here.

It's like getting excited over a new year's revision of Fender Strat, or maybe more like a tube amp or effects processor given the whole "can be easily replicated and surpassed by desktop software". People have been begging Korg to keep its old synths in production or make contemporary, updated versions for literally decades. Korg appears to have listened to an extent. Maybe the guy who was in here a few weeks ago insisting that he needed a DX7 in his studio will feel a pang of buyer's remorse. Probably not, since the whole DX7 owners' cult has nothing to do with actually using the synthesizer and everything to do with celebrating it as a historical design object and cultural touchstone (which is 100% valid, mind you).

Huh. It certainly appeals to me -- I like the quasi-modular aspect of choosing between different ways of modulating a carrier, along with a VA synth option or two. Kinda wish it was able to use the NTS effect programs that Sinevibes has been putting out.

New Cubase landed with no fanfare as usual. No new synths but Spectralayers is now included and the vocal removal in that is pure voodoo

I am about to trade out my hexinverter orbitals for that new erica black sequencer that should be for sale in a few days. Tactile encoders that are super immediate to get at with many modern functions. The Extralife sweet sixteen seems really useful if you are into the Voltage Block-style modules. Also a diy covid project kit.

I use the Erica synths drum sequencer which is a great 16 tracks trigger sequencer. Then 3 of these tracks are used to trigger a rené 2 and mimetic digitalis for 7 additional CV tracks.

These all look good but they're huge modules! I'd probably need another rack to fit them. That erica sequencer is very tempting though, seems to have about every feature I'd want. Would love to hear your opinion on it once you get it in. I've got Pamela's new workout on the way which should cover all my gate/trigger/lfo needs, just gotta get a way to get non-random pitch into stuff. I'm looking at ornaments and crime and it looks powerful but very menu divey, which isn't ideal. Might just pick up a sequential switch and see if that is enough?

I use an Arpitecht as a quantizer/arp source on my lead lines. With a properly clocked system (which you have with Pams) you can drive enough timed random LFOs and gates to mask notes, change slides to change up a line while using a sequential switch to do your chord changes. You can probably get some 2hp stuff to do similar stuff.

Bindubba (and other NLC builds) + a quantizer has given interesting but hard to control results for me. A mix of switches, clock division, and S&H keeps it interesting. Befaco makes the Muxlicer, which acts like a sequencer or a voltage-controlled 8-channel switch. Lots of options for variation there.

I just recently went down a “uh oh I like fm sounds” hole and ended up with a Reface DX. I don’t like software synths and all the competitor fm synths were either not quite what I wanted feature/pricewise or had really awful interfaces. I usually hate menu diving a ton but the interface of the Reface is a dream. It’s so easy to use your ears and dial in sounds. The keybed is amazing too if that matters to you. Even the effects are killer and I’m overly picky about that kind of thing. It’s seriously such a neat piece of gear that doesn’t get much recognition.

It owns, even the built-in speakers are decent enough to be useful. About the only bad thing about it are the touch ribbons - it's not a dealbreaker by any means, they just don't work as well as they thought they would, they make you wish for a knob. Maybe it's just me being bad (I am admittedly really, really bad), but my idea to learn it a bit better by trying to convert select madFame's DX7 patches to it (recalculate 0-100 range into 0-127, swap some 2-operator stacks for feedback doing the same thing, etc.) failed miserably, it really seems to be a different engine underneath.

For a MIDI controller, I can split the keys at Middle-C, so 2.5 octaves for 1 synth on MIDI channel 1, and 2.5 octaves for a separate synth on MIDI channel 2. Its really pretty perfect, got to love that all steel build quality. Oh it also does orchestral sounds really well. The Woodwinds and Brass for examples would pop out real well in a mix of analog, fm, and chipsounds. Cheese Thief fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Nov 12, 2020 |
