Trying to get into the wonderfully nerdy world of Dungeon Synth. Made a very rough demo: https://m.soundcloud.com/ilizarov/d...=social_sharing I need to re-record the fake xylophone. I have a vague idea of doing a casette where each track is a level of a dungeon starting with the crypt. Each track being bridged with a short bit transition if sound effects signifying the hero traveling downwards and each track having a gimmick like the water level being made mostly from samples of running water with some underwater bits where the sound is muffled . Ending with a temple level that's just a short chant played into and recorded in a space like Alan Lucier's I am Sitting in a Room until it becomes an endless cacophony of feedback.

I have three half finished tracks for my dungeon synth album thanks for reminding me. They’re all programmed into the qy700. Actually two of them are pretty cool Here’s my fav dungeon synth https://youtu.be/DffQVP6UqVQ But to answer the question for real it’s a genre that was originally made by black metal artists making “dark ambient” music but mostly just imagine role playing game music from the nineties and there you go Edit qy 100, not the 700. Wishful thinking on my part. Although now may be the time to buy one since I just sold the TR-8

I might be overly reductive, but

Hey Mortiis was making kitschy medieval ambient on his Roland JV-30 a couple years before neo-nazi arsonist/murder Christian "Count Grishnack" Vikernes started messing with tape and a toy synth in prison. Also Mortiis was doing so while wearing s goblin mask and chainmail.

If anyone is into dark ambient then I really recommend the Cryo Chamber youtube channel/label (they have a bunch of stuff on bandcamp) I like the YouTube channel especially because it has some cool mixes on there, often based around a theme. There's dungeony sounding stuff, post apocalyptic ones and my personal favourite "music for abandoned hospitals". Plus theres a few collaborative pieces based around Cthulu.

I added a intro and cleaned up the xylophone a bit. Both of which makes a huge difference. https://soundcloud.com/ilizarov/lvl...=social_sharing IT just sort of ends in some random noise which doesn't really work. I'm probably going to make or source some sound effects to convey the hero fighting skeltal warriors as the floor collapses under him and he plunges to the Flooded Catacombs below. As for levels after that I'm thinking two or of the following: -Magma Chamber Big fiery sounding drone. -Ice Caves Cold echo-y plinks. -Goblin Mines Picks as percussion, make a few squeals here and there. -Infested Cavern Something spidery with sampled waterphone and slithering sounds depending on what works when I actually start working on them. Then the Profane Temple which leads into the Abyssal Depths which I envision as a sort of mix between Sunn O))) and Pete Shelley's underrated kitchen oscillator album Sky Yen.

if dungeon synth isn't niche enough, you can take it a level deeper and check out some shenmue synth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moosgt3Bclc

While the varg poo poo is a big reason it's popular with metal guys, aesthetically the easiest way to think of dungeon synth is crpg vaporwave, pretty much nostalgia for something that never existed plus romplers.

Settled on the MPC One, it solves everything I needed it to, from ditching the PC, being a hub to my synths and using the auto sample to clone patches from my analogue synth. The pads do gather dust quickly though...   Currently fiddling with this which is mostly Minibrute... https://soundcloud.com/cynborg/sata...=social_sharing

Whelp! I killed my Rings kit, I think. Got the reflow station, was able to get the chip out, flipped it around, soldered it back in, plugged it in and POP! A resistor blew. Smoke poured out, and now it looks pregnant. Looking again, I think either legs are bent on the chip, or the pads have migrated together. Tried pushing things around with tweezers and while heating it with the iron, but no good. I think I busted the chip and the PCB maybe. I'm putting Rings away for now. Maybe if the chip shortage ever ends, I'll get a new PCB and new everything except for jacks and pots and give this another try. I could've bought a nanoRings on Reverb for $169.

dexefiend posted:That sucks. Having things not work is super stressful. Yup. I’ve basically spent the rest of the evening stewing over it. It’s fine, I just bit off more than I can chew. When it comes to surface mount, it seems there is a hierarchy, from easiest to hardest: 1) Nonlinear Circuits stuff - 0805 sized components, no microprocessors 2) Ornament and Crime - 0805 sized components, but has microprocessors 3) Mutables diy without microprocessors - 0603 sized components, stuff like Ripples, Branches. 4) Mitables diy with microprocessors - all the cool oscillators/sound sources, like Rings, Edges, Clouds, etc. 0603 sized components. Through sheer dumb luck I started with an NLC Divide & Conquer, had no problems with it, and went a little nuts due to a 25% off coupon and got a Ripples and Rings kit. I don’t know why I grabbed Rings instead of a uO_c. I really hosed myself there. My Ripples build mostly worked, I just needed to reflow some of the Resonance circuit and it was fine. I said in this very thread, “I should hold off on the Rings,” I knew on some level I wasn’t ready, but like a baby I couldn’t stand just having it without building it and plunged in. So now I’ve learned. I touched the hot stove. Now I’ll back the gently caress off, go back to through-hole for a bit, grab a uO_c kit next time there’s a sale, and hopefully in a year or two, I can source ICs myself and try Rings again with a new PCB, and my own parts instead of a kit. Then if that works, I’ll do a uBurst, then an Edges, then…
