There was a CS-15, an analogue computer, a music easel (early clone, but the dude has an original!), bunch of old roland racks. The petting zoo had a bunch of uncommon newer stuff too which was nice. That new PPGalike, Hydrasynth, Deckards, a TwoVoice

Finally found it, I've been searching for this for months, lost it in the move because I stuck it in a crate with some vinyl. This appears to be a remarkably good sample-based drum controller. I remember thinking a lot of the samples were kinda cheesy but some are good.

I had an OG Spark for a while and it just never clicked with me for some reason. I always thought it would have been better as a standalone product than as a controller that is completely duplicated in software. I loved the design though.

Yeah, pretty much the same, Imma give it another go though. I started using the software the other week just because it was so easy, then started wishing I had the controller again so here we go. Either it works out or I'm selling it. I also happened on a couple really nice tablet computers and I was thinking of just dedicating one of them to this software, in which case I may not want the controller.

Skinny Puppy is the industrial I've been aping since I picked up trackers in 1996 and that hasn't changed much! That RMR video is a drat fine NIN tribute though. I realized setting up some patches recently that I'm lacking a bit in the envelope department on my modular rig, what envelope generators do folks here like? Extra points for a decent envelope/HP ratio.

Befaco VC ADSR is pretty nice. Each stage has a gate out and a VC in. Modulating the decay stage is pretty nice for adding life to an envelope. It’s 8hp for one envelope though. Otherwise, uO&C gets you 4 envelopes in 8hp, but uO&C is a bit cumbersome to use.

Unless I just get a second uo_C like I've already been considering.

Yeah, I pretty much got mine for quantizing, the other stuff is just a bonus. I’ll probably buy another kit from Synthcube if they’re ever running a sale AND have the unpopulated board in stock. I don’t pay no $50 extra for pre-populated SMT.

I turn it on every night and pretend I'm Jeff Mills. It's really great as a hands-on instrument. Throw it through some noisy compression and it really sounds heavy too. I love it so much.

Quantermain is the program I use most often, both as a quantizer and a shift register, but I also use a few of the other modes a lot. Harrington 1200 is a great chord generator if you want to do semi-generative stuff, Piqued is good for those four envelopes/LFOs (and can be coaxed into being a burst generator), and Viznutcracker is great with a LPG if you want to create weird crunchy glitch drums.

B33rChiller posted:Ok, so giving it cv will increase both the rise and fall slew? I haven't experimented with it other than hitting it with a gate, and getting a short attack and release. think of it like an oscillator - the more cv you give, the lower the period of the cycle (rise/fall), which means lower cv = longer, higher cv = shorter

Eurorack is the dumbest form of synthesis actually. It synthesizes all of your money into stupid nerd sounds that will do nothing to get you laid.

This is not exactly a synth question, but more a 'digital piano' question... I have the opportunity to purchase a Yamaha P45 for $300 or a Yamaha P71 for $250. From what I understand they are exactly the same, but the P71 just weighs less due to it being designed to be sold via Amazon. Is there really no other difference? From what i've seen via googling there's really no difference, but haven't found anything definitive, nor an explanation about what'd causing that 11 pound difference.

So far the best example of keytar manliness are these soloists from Dragonforce and Sonata Artica. It ain't exactly synth pop, but this is about gear anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MgLNnzeQFw

I spent the better part of yesterday refamiliarizing myself with this SparkLE, just having fun with it. I'm not getting rid of this one. May be very early 00s but really the best in its category. It's really a VST with a custom interface, but the addition of the hardware interface really does make a big difference. I like it an awful lot. Oh, I haven't gotten into the feature yet but its tabbed interface includes an audiomulch style modular synth. It also has a tab of all virtual rack equipment for each drum sensor, etc. It's really capable. It also says it works with some of the Arturia V series, which is intriguing.
