Rolo posted:Any recommendations for OP-1 travel cases? Everything official is out of stock and the stock box plus rubbers bands thing is huge. TSA was like wtf is this thing. I have a couple of cases from Analog Cases and have been pretty happy with them. It looks like they have an OP-1 case, though I don't have any of the Glide cases so I'm not sure what the difference is. The Pulse cases are a fairly rigid clamshell-style case made out of some sort of rubbery polymer. I can't really tell from the description but it's possible the Glide cases (including the OP-1 case) might be padded fabric?

Aw man, my cousins had this keyboard growing up. I was always fond of the demo song on it.

minidracula posted:Same here. Honestly didn't even know/realize that Unit Portables was a separate company (let alone that they went out of business), I just figured it was a Teenage Engineering case with their kind of branding. Would recommend though if you can pick one up on the used market. Did you just quote a quote? We can do that?

Oh hey, I made a thing available after 6 years. It's the ending theme of a short film I scored in film school. If anyone has Shudder, the short was directed by the same guy who did the short The Quiet Room.

just got a novation circuit tracks. using it as a drum machine and bass line machine and using hydrasynth as the instrument I play although the circuit can control the hydrasynth via midi. I’ve only got one midi cable at the moment so i’m hoping when I get two that I can record to the circuit from the keyboard anyway what I really want to sort out first is the midi clock. i’ve got the circuit tracks set to transmit clock midi out from circuit to midi in on hydrasynth (and i’ve got the circuit playing notes on hydra so that works) but not sure of how to get hydra to take the clock. it was set to auto and it used to pull the tempo from ableton, and now i try setting it to midi in but when i do that it does nothing at all … i’m very new to midi. any clues? e: turns out the circuit needs to be playing. then it works on auto. and when its set to midi in, when the circuit's not playing there's no clock so of course the hydra's gonna do nothing echinopsis fucked around with this message at 11:25 on Sep 10, 2021 |

I feel like the OP-1 I have coming in next week should be enough to hold off my hardware GAS for a good long while. Now, software GAS on the other hand, is going to become a real issue, with my MacBook Air on the way.

Already bought with the laptop.  I talked about it a little more in the Music Prod thread, but I'm planning to pair it with V Collection and the new version of Reason to start with, with more programs on the way as M1 compatibility improves/I dig out all the old licenses for VSTs I bought in the past. Still will have a solid week or so to play around with the OP-1 before I have to worry about getting all that, though (which is good, because there definitely looks like a bit of a learning curve for me to get the most out of it).

You young whippersnappers and your one-time $199.99 purchase of Logic Pro X. In my day you had to choose between Logic Silver, Logic Gold, and Logic Platinum! And you had to buy the software instruments separately! I paid $249 for the EXS sampler, and $80 for the ES1 synth! And every time they upgraded to a new version of Logic, we had to pay for it! And they made us attach a giant dongle to our serial port. And we liked it!  We did not, in fact, like any of it.

It's like I got a couple MIDI keyboards and some fun synths and in the process of turning them on and opening the DAW, I cross some invisible membrane in reality and suddenly things hum and spark, It has added dimensions to writing and recording music for me that I appreciate so much, and even improved my listening appreciation because I hear how everywhere synths are more now.

petit choux posted:What is this VL that you speak of? In the 90s Yamaha was trying to make physical modeling synthesis happen with their Virtual Lead line, but I think it proved too niche and too expensive to manufacture. There's the big granddaddy keyboard version VL1, and the lesser-known VP1, then they tried to branch out by creating the VL70m module for their breath controllers, and the plug-in VL boards for their Motif synths and others. The one I've got is a MU100R with a VL card installed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShvfnDLZfA0 It's a shame they've basically abandoned the technology entirely at this point, it makes for some very punchy and organic sounds.

Ages ago someone in this thread or another said they got a hydrasynth and said something along the lines like "it reignited a joy of music" or something idk. Anyway. If that was you ... thankyou. I'm not sure why that particular thing someone said made me want to investigate or buy a hydrasynth. But thankyou so much. As a single piece of equipment I get so much joy for playing sounds with it. without that single post I may have never paid any attention to the hydrasynth, let alone actually wanting to buy one.

The infuriating part is that if you threw those 1993 algorithms at a modern DSP (or heck, even just an ARM), you'd probably get your full-keyboard polyphony with all the bells and whistles, too. The biggest drawback is possibly the lack of sweetspots; it's easy to end up with something howling and noisy with a flanger effect on it also, champagne plastic and walnut wood on a synth, i mean, i get it was the 90s, but jfc

My dream is a self-contained physical modeling horn. Yamaha got really close with their YDS sax, but for some reason they decided samples are the way to go

Lead out in cuffs posted:Amazon adjusts all their prices dynamically using an algorithm (maybe with the exception of items where the supplier disallows discounts?) It's more likely you were seeing regular fluctuations in the price rather than something targeted at you. Anecdotally, after doing a bunch of shopping around on Amazon and some other sites I've had surprise "one day sales" show up on something in my cart. As for other gear lust, I regretted not getting the Deadbox Abyss.... I might have a hard time saying no to this one: https://www.dreadbox-fx.com/nymphes/ Also if you were jonesing for that Moog Claravox Centennial Theremin and were regretting not getting it, well, let's just say it's still having issues either getting to people who bought it or working properly when it does. Current hypothesis is they're testing units with antennas that aren't the ones you get in the box and some are requiring excessive calibration, if they work at all.
