i’m going to buy a piece of a gear when i get paid. i’m currently considering either an erica synths bassline, polyend tracker (if i can get a hold of one lol) or an arturia microfreak. obviously the microfreak is the way cheaper option but also the one that excites me the least. i’ll just keep monitoring the used market until my payday

I don't regret buying the op1 even though I'm not using lately. The interface really clicked with me and it's just really well designed and unique.

Bad news for me and my new acquisition, the Sy-300 LOL. Which I haven't even gotten out of the box yet because things are such a mess here. Spent the evening putting my guitar back together so I could use it. Although I'm really thinking of using other things than the guitar, like a cornet.

Be careful which new videos you watch though because it's like 80% modular demos now and it may cause impulse purchases.

Erica hi hat d is the clicky hat sound. And some reverb. Running the Erica system thru the sp as a giant filter box, then using one voice from the analog 4 for the movie soundtrack sound I like the analog four most out of all the electron gear I trick myself into buying. The rytm was too much for me. Will probably get another one some day when I have more will power lol

Akai MPK249 is on the way, I've been messing with synth patches (for, like, hours a day, it's ridiculous, I love synths so much hail Satan) and making fx setups that work with them and putting together guitar patches that can track alongside well, and man I am so ready to get this in and get recording. Oxygen Pro 49 bad taste about to be gone, just gotta wait til Friday. I wish I had wanted this during whatever period of time they were selling the red one, I like how those look. That Dreams game/app looks really impressive! I might get a newer Playstation so my kiddo can use that, he absolutely adores Little Big Planet 1-3 on the old PS3 and has recently got into making simple games and stuff. I wonder if the PS3-era Move controllers still work for today's uses or if you gotta get newer ones, I have a pair from back then that didn't get much use at the time. Edit: google says, yes. I will investigate this further

I will investigate this further The reason I become interested in keyboards as a kid was my need to make music for my terrible RPG Maker games. Its a great system for making simple games, and it was really easy for me to learn. There is a newer version for PC and PS5, but I'd get it on PC because I don't think the PS5 version lets you edit the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdLt8ZcyCqA

I don't know how kosher it is to post here but Archive.org has a repository of 90s sample CDs including all the Jungle Warfares, X static goldmines etc etc and a whole bunch of out of print stuff. Zero G themselves have basically gone "nope we won't be resurrecting those even though people still want them" and X Static were pushing their luck as it is. I happened across it whilst looking for stuff to mash about in Renoise and its raising some weird emotions in me. I had long given up finding Jungle Warfare and the Datafiles (only been looking 15 years aka nearly half my life) let alone the other things here. Anyway, if anyone is as sad as me and wants obsolete 90s sample CDs that are pretty much ripped "as is", Google Archive 90s Sample CDs and realise your dreams. Better late than never. For research purposes, obviously.

i’ll just warn that zero-g was (maybe still is?) infamous for using tons of uncleared samples in their CDs so use that stuff with caution. i doubt you would get tagged for it but still. sick heads up tho!

Oh yeah, a ton of this stuff is either obviously lifted or has been used wholesale so many times its a minefield. Mindfield. As a time capsule it's fascinating and I could get lost for days in here, I'm already sending random clips to mates filmed off my phone and going 'wtf is this again, I know this'. Im already overfamiliar with the majority of breaks/drum machines that have been used over the years but hearing these loops where someone has smashed say, the Lynn Collins Think beat over a 909 and chopped it and then added a ride from something else is so fascinating to me.

watho posted:oh yeah i 100% agree with all that. the datafiles CDs are very fun to go through especially if you’re into beatmania at all, so much stuff that’s very very recognizable This brings a question to mind and maybe you guys and dolls are the right people to ask. I've been listening to or working out to early 2000s style dance music for years, and I've observed these samples or loops getting reused, often pretty tastelessly IMO, for like 20 years. I first encountered them on my very first trance anthem albums from Deca Dance and have come across them so very many times since then. Does anybody know what I'm referring to, or do I need to get more specific? What are they and where do they come from, anyway? Like I have a couple dozen Gatecrasher mix albums and they're all over those.

I wasn't even into electronic music back then, with the exception of that CD set, which I still think is outstanding. But what software were they using back then anyway? Reason?

A lot of Gatecrasher stuff would have been a few of the big Korg/Roland workstation keyboards at the time, probably Roland JP8000s for leads and a lot of Roland TR909s for drums. I would imagine particularly percussion wise a lot of the familiar sounds are the distinctive 909 hi hats and claps. If they were using software it'd likely be 'trackers' or maybe early iterations of Cubase or similar, and if the latter probably sequencing Akai samplers, which impart a grot to the sound that can be emulated with bit crusher plugins now due to their low sample rates (12bit or less) and poor memory. Can you link the Deca Dance set by any chance? I'm on an old school dance kick at the mo and lapping that stuff up. Been caning the original Wipeout soundtrack all day NonzeroCircle fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jun 25, 2021 |

Sound on Sound is *great* for that stuff, lots of interviews with the producers with them just being like "heres what I did lol". Its a little hard to find cause they changed their archive but its all on archive/way back machine at least still. I'm less up on my trance but thats basically how I learned to make Jungle from around the same era. I wanna say a lot of that stuff is zero g just off the top of my head, thats a seriously killer sample series.

Got the Akai MPK249 in! Man it looks awesome, it feels awesome, it is clearly awesome But it only has a 3 foot cable and that's a loving problem, because it requires a whole USB socket to itself, no hubs even if it's the only thing plugged in. If I'd thought more about it I would have got the AC adapter. I guess I still can though. I have a 10 foot cable coming by Sunday that can reach my comp without needing a hub slot, so I'll be able to play it Sunday some time I guess. I did at least confirm that it works. True story, I bought this same cable in March but accidentally sent it back instead of a cable I didn't need - they still refunded me for the wrong cable, but only like $2.40 when it cost around $7 (as did the cable I was intending to send back in the first place). I don't even know if I should post this, but SA has been my online home for so long. poo poo has been really hard this week at my house y'all my fam is fighting COVID and it's frightening. What a hosed up week this has been. I am sorry for even putting this here, it doesn't have a lot to do with synths. I haven't got a lot of sleep, y'all, forgive me for venting somewhat inappropriately. I am doing everything I can to take care of everyone. I hope I get to play this thing soon, on a day where it feels like I can care about it.
