petit choux posted:There's a lot of good sense in this. Also, a lot of them have MIDI in, so you can control them with a cheap MIDI controller - results may vary - like a used Oxygen8 you can find for $25 and add a pitch bend because they usually don't have that. It's also the cheapest solution. But I really want to add some of that extra umph to make it exciting for a young one. Still, especially when you look at the used market, you can find some really feature-packed keyboards for real cheap. I'm seeing Casios with USB for under $50, and you can sure get some suitable software for free or cheap, so you can get a basic DAW setup for that and the price of a decent computer. Of course there's a lot of cultural opposition to using computers, but that's another issue. If they have an iPad I’d just get ‘em like $50 in apps plus maybe a USB controller

While I may not be replying individually I am super grateful for all the clarity. It’s still a lot to wrap my head around tbh but it helps me start to understand what my PT is doing when I use wt playback for a sample.

petit choux posted:Hey all, here's a simple question: if I want to introduce a young person, say 14 years old, to electronic music and synths, what would be some good options? I'm thinking of a all-in-one type thing to introduce them without getting too costly or too technical to start with. Something with a keyboard. A Casio keyboard of course  Specifically a Casio WK-7600, its got everything. I got a Casio keyboard when I was 14 and it made my love synth music, I would have gone nuts if I got this and its cheap right now! https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WK7600--casio-wk-7600-76-key-portable-arranger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qfNln2Y0B4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUZCkSEC9sM Rutibex fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Jul 24, 2021 |

toadee posted:Through troubleshooting all of this I've come across so many little hacky programs and drivers. ASIO4ALL, FlexASIO, VM Banana, JACK for Windows, etc. None of it particularly intuitive, or stable. And, really though, it feels like it comes down to a glaring fault of the OS to not have modernized anything about the sound system. Don't forget that those hacky programs can/do introduce lots of latency and don't necessarily talk to each other! I even bought a Scarlett 4i4 for the loopback driver and trying to bring a WDM application (eg Zoom) fully into the ASIO loop was still impossible because WDM devices have have be stereo. So the loopback channels get aggregated together in one direction, instead of allowing bidirectional mono. And you can't try to use JACK or ReaStream because those are ASIO only, and the only WDM-ASIO bridge out there is some undocumented thing by the VM Banana guy with an incomprehensible UI, high latency, and questionable/no compatibility with ReaStream/JACK  I converted back to Windows from Linux so that I could use Komplete Start and I never, ever, ever, EVER thought I would find myself saying that the Linux audio experience Just Worked while Windows is a fragmented kludge. Welp, time makes fools of us all! Mad Dragon posted:I have a current gen iPod and Android phone and tablet, and there's waaaaay more synth stuff on the Apple Store. iPads have even more. I recently did a little Googling on Android audio latency and the status of advanced audio for music. The basic answer I got is "lol" and that Samsung is fragmenting what progress has been made by trying to come up with their own thing. My old Galaxy Tab S3 hasn't had a software update in over a year so it may be time to get over my loathing of iTunes.

android device audio latency was a big problem like 6 or 7 years ago. maybe that's the unwritten deal between apple and google, that android devices get keyboards but apple devices get all the audio apps

The biggest problem with iOS stuff is all the apps are designed for iPads and are agony to use on a phone. On the other hand, it's good that 99% of them are buy once use anywhere so at least you can do it,. Latency seems good enough, and the form factor (whether a phone or tablet) is unbeatable for screwing around away from home.

Can you just access it like an external drive now (from a Windows/Linux PC)? Guess I need to look into it again. Last time I dabbled in iPad ownership (2018), that was definitely not a thing. It's why I returned it and bought my now-abandoned Tab S3 (definitely a bit of "pick your poison" regardless of choice, I guess).

I updated my ROLI scripts and added a few more: Bresenham is a four-track Euclidean rhythm generator. Gauss is a CC generator like Henon, but with a different algorithm.

I came here 2.5 years ago to ask about pocket operators and ended up with a PO20 Arcade. I think I picked an awesome starter. I’ve been in quarantine this week so I decided to step it up and got the PO12 Rhythm to take the drums so the Arcade can prioritize bleep bloops and effects. I then decided I want to lift small voice clips off vinyl to throw in so the PO35 Speak is out for deliver today. These things are fun but I’m worried they’re a gateway to spending the big bucks.

If in 2,5 years all you did was buy a PO rythm to complement the Arcade you are not at risk. Over the same period I bought a rythm and robot to go with the arcade, 5 volcas, a mixer, a Keystep, a SE-02, a streichfett and Ableton live. Then I purchased a 0-coast and opened a portal to a bottomless modular abyss with it. The next 3 years I sold almost all the previous gear plus a few organs to purchase overpriced hipster instruments which are wasted on me. Yes I have addiction problems why are you asking. You seem fine

On a whim I plugged my PO into my Realtek line-in on my PC and I'm able to use the base Windows voice recorder to pick it up while recording but I'd like something that could record the inpout while outputting through my desktop speakers what is being recorded. Any recommendations?

REAPER is already doing exactly what I was looking for and more, thanks for recommending it! Guess I'm gonna buy it when my license comes due. Quick PC question, is there a difference between the 3.5mm MIC in on the front of my case and the 3.5mm LINE-IN directly off the motherboard? Am I giving up stereo or quality by using the more convenient plug on the front?

Rolo posted:
You've spent all these bucks so far without getting the 33, which is the last one you'll ever need, unless you develop a taste for the microtonic drums on the 35 enough to buy the 32. The 33, being a sampler, is definitely the most versatile of the bunch. For some reason I see way too many people just using the stock sounds with it, but once you move past those, it's a gateway to all sorts of sample magic.
