if/when I get this synth I need a new USB interface that has two inputs. I have a Komplete or something that has 1 input (it used to also have a mic interface but I broke that lol). And I would quite happily get the Komplete that has 2 inputs. Unless of course one of you keyboard touchers has some other recommendation?

I have a Presonus 26c and it's cool. Komplete/Focusrite/whatever are probably about equal at that level.

I'm trying to get my Drumbrute Impact to play nice with Cubase and there's a ton of midi jitter if I use USB midi. Will the timing be more solid if I use the old school DIN output on my interface? Basically, I want to jam/layer it with Maschine but it drifts so much in USB. After a bunch of research it looks like I can't use the Drumbrute as the master clock for Cubase due to the way the DAW works, which is a bummer. If I program a pattern on the midi roll it plays back perfectly solidly, the issue is trying to get the Arturia's onboard sequencer to sync up

Komplete is good, focusrite is good, folks seem to really like the Motu M2 and M4, too. I have the older Komplete Audio KA-6 (with the dc coupled outputs) and a Focusrite 8i6 and both have been great.

Thanks party people. I liked the one I had enough already so might as well stick with what I know.

It's sad that it appears to be abandoned software, the noises you can get out of it are delicious and I guess it still performs that function, but they've been updating some of their other stuff to auv3 and it's unfortunate that animoog hasn't gotten that.

Well not in those words.

I always stayed away from synths as a teen because sequencing and arpeggiators felt like 'cheating' to my wanna be guitar hero brain. Which is dumb because its not like there's much inherently difficult about banging out power chords either.

My Lovely Horse posted:In Ableton Live there's an arpeggiator but also a chords plugin where you can hold down just one key and it'll send a proper chord to the arpeggiator, it's magic especially if you put a scale plugin in the middle of it so it sounds musical

Very nice! I underestimated Casio, this keyboard rules. Unfortunately I can't use the auto-chords and arpeggiator together I'll keep that in mind if I try out Ableton. Though I assume I could find a similar function in FL studio?

Do any of y'all use cakewalk? I got frustrated early with ableton lite limiting my track count, so went in search of another free daw. Seems pretty good, but I don't hear much about it. Eta: use case is I find midi files of Dutch nursery rhymes, or classical music, and assign instruments to each part. A lot of midi files have more than 4 parts.

can't remember if i've asked this here before but what's a good way to get into being able to make my own patches? i have a lot of synth VSTs of real analog synths but i'm limited to cycling through presets. how would i pick that up?

Finding a widely used platform to learn on in our YouTube lives is a good start. A few years ago Massive was the home producer softsynth due, in my opinion, to its very straightforward UI and ability to make wub wub noises. Therefore, there are a ton of tutorials showing basic synthesis design using Massive. I think Serum was the big one after Massive, and now people have moved on to some other wavetable softsynth that I'm forgetting. The real answer is to buy hardware with many, many knobs.

serum is still the “industry standard” even if vital is offering a lot of competition (and i personally prefer it)
