CatBlack posted:Samplers are synth enough. I'm down for some mystery floppies. yes & yes Personally (and I know I'm the weird one & there's other reasons for the format), I'd be way more down to read a post here and listen to a soundcloud clip than watch a video. Would be *extremely* cool to make them available for download in 16/44.1khz or at least easily sample-able (Soundcloud is way better for this than youtube, ime) That being said if it is in fact months of interesting noises I don't wanna talk you out of what could be a sick youtube monetization come up

Definitely not a monetization play here — I’m incredibly bad at content production but this would be a fun way to explore it. I’m happy to do all of the above. I think I’ll do the youtube thing regardless so I can share it w/my friends on twitter, but I’ll put up a soundcloud which would actually probably be the easiest way to share these farts or screaming babies or something. OK well I guess unless anyone has any actual objections I’ll figure out how to make this happen next week. My first priority is to actually back up these floppies to protect against when I inevitably accidentally rest them next to my big box of rare earth magnets while I’m waving a degaussing gun around. I don’t actually have a computer with a floppy drive that is capable of running omniflop (only have an old OS9 powerbook with a floppy). My other option is to run each one through the S3000XL and use Mesa (wait can Mesa actually download samples?) or Recycle to download the samples one at a time which is also valid. To be clear, youtube wouldn’t be just a video of the sounds themselves — it would be just me bullshitting while I load the floppies in and react to what’s loaded and figure out how to pitch them around to sound correct. The actual files I would 100% make available either via google drive or soundcloud or both. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Nov 20, 2021 |

I got Spaced Out earlier this year and like it also, high CPU usage but it's super lush and capable of some interesting textures.

Do make YouTube videos about mystery sample disks. Don’t make a new sampler/sampling thread.

Got my Mantis case today. Everything seems good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A56W1UhjEsI More Moog Little Phatty + Eurorack stuff. This time, I have the S&H from the Entropy controlling the Phatty's pitch. It kind of sounds like Total Serialism from the mid 20th century. My music professors would've been so happy.

All my imagination and creativity happens while on walks and taking naps and it all melts away as soon as I actually try to put pen to paper so content that isn’t lessons from Synth Secrets or waiting on hardware is sparse. Also work takes up all my Adderall time so there’s that too. I wonder what kind of person I’d be if all my capacity was spent on creative pursuits

Use whatever pocket computer you got on hand and hum the melody or rhythm into a voice memo. Then by the time you sit down at your empire of gadgets you still feel the magic and can turn it in to something.

Ok Comboomer posted:most of the other threads I frequent are pretty alive Awright, post you fuckers! JK, I probably spam this thread enough already, I imagine everybody is just busy getting through TG this week. Okay, here's something, I have a DIY kit I bought years ago that I only recently found, a Tapdrum. I don't know if it's good or not, but I'll be trying to assemble it just for practice if nothing else. That and my DIY synth, the Macchiato, is finally up and running. Nobody has ever mentioned this one ITT and maybe with good reason, I dunno, it's an Arduino synth. No hardware oscillator.

Modular Addict got a Befaco restock, so I'm finally getting a Muxslicer and a STMix. They didn't have the new MEX expanders in stock, though. Funny how the Mantis cases and the Befaco kits at two different stores restocked within a week of each other. Guess the supply chain stuff is slowly getting moving again. Ouch, my wallet though.

Johnny Truant posted:I bought a Digitakt last week and god drat this thing is awesome Yeah, the DT is really good fun. I've suppressed my urges to get more Elektron gear and am spending time playing around with ways to hook up my DT with my digital piano and have it play some layers of the piano via MIDI while I play piano over it and get drums out of the DT. Feels like there's a lot to learn there and a lot of different things to play around with. It's done a good job at keeping me from desiring more synths, although it has made me interested in effects pedals to add into the mix, so cue lots of watching videos of the Empress Zoia.

Except I have had zero time to really dig into them, really looking forward to this thanksgiving break to let me play with my synths and put together a detailed to-do list I also have a Zoia!  But have had zero time to play with it!

Volca FM review: UI’s a bit eh, but I get why they kept it simple. I’m too used to having direct access to each operator, so I’m like drat how do I set the ratio/detune/etc. Not sure how I feel about bundling all the carrier and modulator EGs together, but it makes sense on some level since I can’t think of any cases where you need the tone shaping to be different between harmonics sources. Still, I can’t help but think there’s a reason for it… E: but I’m also one of those jerks who think 4 operators is good enough for anybody, so  It’s a nice little module, but FM requires enough parameter fuckery that the Volca MO requires some UI sacrifices. Still enough for me, unless I ever find a used Reface DX for a reasonable price. Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Nov 24, 2021 |

Johnny Truant posted:I'm an Elektron fanboy now, got the DT/DN combo! DT/DN is an awesome combo -- I found Ivar Tryti's videos pretty helpful for wrapping my head around connecting them and using them together: https://youtu.be/gq6oUVZ-1wQ Need to get that combo working with the digital piano -- maybe this is the weekend to do that. If you get the Zoia in the mix, I'd be interested to hear how that worked out. Seems like it would be possible to send MIDI with the DT to change parameters on the Zoia, which could let you do interesting stuff in patches while changing the sound of the DT and/or DN during a song. At least that's my operating theory as I watch these Zoia videos and try to tamp down the GAS.
