My old Yamaha RM1x had song mode too. Man I miss that thing.

There’s a rm1x going on my local Craigslist. I was thinking about getting the new sp404 tho since they’re finally in stock

I dug my RM1x (that I bought new the year it came out) out of storage at my parents’ house and while rad, I can’t really find a good use for it in my setup. Most of the onboard sounds still suck, too.

field balm posted:question for modular gurus in the thread, i don't really understand combining modulation. say on a filter cutoff i have a v/oct sequence going into that input, and an envelope going into the fm input but i still want to add an lfo modulating it but have no more inputs, how do i do this? Short answer would be a matrix mixer with attenuation control for each input. Longer answer, pass your non-v/Oct signals through attenuators (so as to not max out most of your resulting signal) before putting them into a precision adder or similar mixer, combining your signals before passing them to their destination.

My all-time dream synth is the ARP 2600, even though I don’t really play the keys and know next to nothing about synthesis. The reason is simply my love of the The Who, the sound and the fun people who know how to use them seem to have. I have owned a few synths in my life, without really getting hooked. I still dream about turning knobs and having more or less aimless fun though - and hopefully make something worthwhile once in a while. Another tempting thing about the ARP is that it seems fairly easy to use and understand. You can easily get usable sounds without using cables, but when you do the options seem almost limitless. However, as a big amateur, I would like to be able to save presets (if that's even possible on synths like that) so that I can get back to that special sound that I might find some day. Are there any synths that sound good, are fun and easy to use with (semi)modular capabilities and that let’s you save presets? It would be a big plus if said synth is possible to get and doesn’t cost as much as a car. I am aware that I probably sound like a madman so please bear with me.

If you're not opposed to computers you could check out VCV rack which runs on your computer and lets you save everything. I'm not sure if there's an ARP 2600 within VCV but worth a shot?

I think what you want is a software ARP, such as Cherry Audio's incredibly inexpensive recreation. Modular synths by their nature almost never allow you to save presets. The only exceptions I know are the ridiculously expensive Buchla Easel and Erica Synth's Pico System, which uses voice card 'presets' which involve soldering, and thus can only be written once.

Well, you can save a preset, but only one.

Can anybody tell me how I could get started trying to emulate the synth voices heard in the intro for MSTRKFRT"s Easy Love? https://www.hooktheory.com/theorytab/view/mstrkrft/easy-love?node=164.5 has the chords, but I don't really understand enough to deconstruct the sound other than there's some sort of pulsing envelope and it's poly because chords.

Stacked detuned saws, short (organ-type) envelopes, maybe a touch of sync? The intro is a slow filter sweep of a LPF up, or maybe filter env amount? Thats basically the same patch as in Van Halen's Jump, which there are tons of tutorials out there for. If nothing else it'll get you close.

The clicky switches seemed fine although I was getting double trigger on the +1 button when running all the tests, hopefully I can disassemble and clean it or just swap it with a less used switch. I'm not sure I'm gonna keep it as its too big for my desk and I think my brain's too stupid for it.

This is basically how I save patches with my modular rig - either I write a diagram of what hooks up to where, or I just take a picture on my phone. The latter isn't really an option when you're in full clownpuke mode though. Some sites like Modulargrid will even let you save patch diagrams for your rig. I'm in the process of moving and not having access to my modular is making me itchy.

The best way to save a patch is to record it and chop it up in your sampler of choice. You do have a sampler to go with your modular, right?

I prefer to think of a modular patch as a drawing in the sand, I record 5-10 minutes at the end of a session and unplug everything everytime I sit down

Some of the patch gets left behind as seasoning though (knob positions). Unplugging a patch is something that started out easy and is becoming more of a chore.

Steamdeck can run M8 headless too, if you can source a teensy. Assuming you want more awesome music toys to make portable. And assuming Valve fixes things for you.

Cloud Terrarium just showed up so that's probably all my exploration bandwidth for this week. 3hp free still, probably will want a pico dual vca in there, but if i think i can get away with not adding another VCA i am going to jam a Zlobz chaos generator instead. edit: also now up to 17hp of modules not racked in a box, so, I imagine another RackBrute will happen before Christmas  Chipz is trash but it still has an LFO!! :-P

All I got is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/m8tracker/comments/vqcv3r/m8_headless_on_steam_deck/ . One of the comments gives a recipe.

I usually spend about 5-10 minutes just trying to get it to turn on when I set it up, and at that point it works maybe half the time, otherwise I give up and put it away.

I saw that you have to manually quantize your notes individually in them which seems like a huge oversight and why i didnt go for one when i was doing my 'I need a central brain for my setup' research.

hahahaha reading a ton about the SQ-64 to convince myself I don't want it because I already have a 3CV, 1 drum poly sequencer with 64-step variable sequencing in the way of the KSP however I also may have sold myself on trying a Squarp Pyramid as a replacement for the PC in this setup and move all longer sequencing and recording tasks to there. Thoughts? Will this free me from the tyranny of using a mouse to select and quantize samples into bars to repeat forever, or will it just be another god drat thing in that pipeline?

But mostly I think it's a pretty awesome piece of hardware. But yeah, the inability to quantize or arpeggiate outside the confines of one beat is a pretty big oops and one that people have been suggesting will maybe get addressed in some future update.

I like the pyramid, its modal interface is very well thought out. Maybe it's only since they've been mentioned so recently but it does feel like an old yamaha flagship sequencer except playing notes on the device itself is actually fun, and no stopping for offline 'jobs' to effect changes.

haha, Squarp's new hotness is the Hapax which is not very available right now. So if I want to kill off my PC daw I need to do a bunch of learning about pyramid vs hapax vs other options in the $500-1k price range. I just want the best and simplest sequencing experience for sounds, noise generation and built in drum machines etc matter a lot less. That said, the Deluge might do everything I want too.Startyde posted:I like the pyramid, its modal interface is very well thought out.
