InternetOfTwinks posted:Christ why are MIDI merge/thru boxes so expensive? Think I should be set after this order at least, all this pain because the drat Electribe and Beatstep Pro both don't do MIDI thru. Should be able to control everything from one spot once these boxes get here, with room in the routing to add in a Squarp Pyramid down the line since it looks to me to be a real successor to the RM1x sequencer. Individual MIDI outs too so I can shunt the Electribe to it's own port and use all the sample channels that way. why pyramid vs hapax in 2022? Just price? e: I guess if you don't need a bunch of CV i/o, the hapax is less attractive.

Yeah pretty much, though the Hapax also looks pretty enticing, not married to either option just yet.

Ho drat, are the cool controller / sequencers pricey? Try finding a NDLR for sale? $ouch when they pop up on reverb. And that Misha dealie looks cool, but again, big dent.

It seems like a very capable, but sort of standard sequencer, yeah? I was thinking more oddball, different takes on it. Also, quite tempted by that sale. Although I know I already have more than enough gear, and I've already gone on a shopping tear this year. The weirdo stuff just interests me, and the high sticker is probably a good thing, putting them out of consideration.

If you don't need polyphony, Beatstep Pros are quite solid and all day on reverb for significantly less than retail.

Tayter Swift posted:pumped pads sidechained to the kick I think the OP's question was more about artifacting or other quality loss, like how tape hiss or vinyl crackle (or film grain or video smearing) have become things to emulate. It's a tough one, I was thinking about it and I don't really have an answer. If we are talking about hallmark production techniques though, yeah absolutely kick sidechaining is up there. I'd say OTT compression and NI Massive were enormous gamechangers too.

hmm maybe low res bluetooth streaming fidelity? but its a hard question because new records can be cut and can be streamed lossless-ly straight from the studio to your home now, theres not a lo fi aesthetic that people are trying to get away from like they were moving from cassettes to CDs for example maybe virtual analog stuff could be next. the an1x and gaia sh type synths. early digital reverbs like the midiverb. stuff like that. still hard to distinguish or make into a sound palette A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Nov 29, 2022 |

I have one sq-64 that i exclusively use for modular (love all the cv and gate outs). I got a 2nd one to drive 2 polysynths and a TD-3-MO (don't like using the regular 303 sequencer and i can sequence the filter cv with the mod lane) when I dont feel like using a daw. Definitely isn't the greatest sequencer ever made (inputting notes without an external controller kinda sucks, the main grid buttons dont give much feedback) but it fits nicely in my set up and the price is really good

I have a rene v2 on preorder and I am going to hold off on a hapax for a while. If I end up in a more midi-based workflow, will revisit. Tempi is super fun and I legitimately want 1-2 more of them. Just having one as a dedicated drum clock seems fine to me, Tempi -> QD is nearly Electribe MKII preset-knob-twist levels of variation, but with a lot more instant control over what you're doing and how it sounds. 6 outs, can use Plaits or mother 32 as another set and really have a deep percussive machine. My wife put a drum set in the barn. I don't want to lug my nice synths up there but I don't mind sticking a midi keyboard on sawhorses with an ipad and I don't mind paying for an ipad synth. What's my best bet for something on iOS or android with very easy programming of midi params from hardware, possibly a wavetable or FM synth but not necessarily, and I guess I'd like a built in arpeggiator of some complexity ideally. 6+ voice poly. ??

AudioKit SynthOne is a pretty deep synth for ios that happens to be free. It has midi learn. Not sure how good the arpeggiator is, it has one but I guess I've never used it. Polyphony is limited by your device's CPU power. At the very least give it a download to try your setup out while researching for the perfect ios synth. edit - also synthmaster 2 is a pretty nuts kitchen sink synth. it has too many knobs and options but it can also do just about anything xzzy fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Nov 30, 2022 |

I am looking to make a bunch of clocked -/+ 5V random cv to send to a Mito. Its usually paired with a Deviant, which is far too expensive. It seems a Transient Modules 4R, or DivKid RND STEP are far more affordable, and smaller modules. However, both hard to find. Any ideas?

I have a Zlobz Chaos Diode which I enjoy and it does have a clock input but it's fundamentally a weird module that may not meet your need that well, and it's also not that much chaper than Deviant ($90 vs $140?)

sq64 had 3 modulation outputs that can be set to randomized ranges. not very small and not a module though. also not its primary function so you have to set that up as a pattern.

I’m playing Signalis and the title screen really makes me wanna figure out how to get that 60s-era scratchy/fuzzy sound on some triangles. I don’t actually know what makes it sound like that, other than an unstable and slightly off pitch tuning. Is this a known thing people try to emulate? Outside of “analog warm lol” I mean.

Any number of VSTs will get you there, such as XLN's RC-20. In the hardware world, maybe one of the Chase Bliss pedals or ZVEX's Instant Lo-Fi Junkie which is both a pedal and Eurorack module. edit: as far as ppl trying to get that sound, yeah just stick a cartoon of a raccoon or a girl and a cat and you've got lo-fi hip-hop Tayter Swift fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Dec 1, 2022 |

JamesKPolk posted:ornament and crime This would be my choice too but the range is only -3v on the negative side if that’s important. Pam’s New/Pro Workout is a great but expensive option. A somewhat cheaper option is to get Doepfer dual S&H modules and then use whatever noise, audio or rapid LFOs you happen to have as inputs. Should be random enough. If you don’t have many spare audio sources you can even mult the oscillators you use in the patch. It’s good to keep in mind that these Doepfers are not the best for holding 1v/oct signals due to voltage drop which limits their versatility. Personally I’d either go for the Pam’s if I could afford it or wait for a new batch of rnd step. You could ask the manufacturer when it might be expected.

Erica Synthés Pico RND has a clocked S&H, gates of random length, random gates, a sine and a noise output in 3hp. Also you can divide/mult the frequency

You may also be tempted by the 2hp equivalent, but be aware that that one is unipolar and you'll need to add a negative voltage offset. Been struggling with a very similar issue with the Noise Engineering Turing Machine equivalent, and would otherwise recommend that one but for the whole 'unipolar' thing.

Oh what, there's no way to disable sequence transposition on the Beatstep Pro? If that's really the case that's whack as hell, going to make it a lot trickier to incorporate in my setup. I'll faff about with the Midi Control software, hopefully there's a toggle for it somewhere in there.

I hazily recall a podcast chat with the founders of noise engineering from a while ago, and they mentioned moving away from using daisy boards because of limitations in what it could do, as well as supply constraints. I think that was before covid too.

I am going back to school to learn a trade this year because I don’t want to code any more. But I also see poo poo like this and wonder how much they are going to need handwritten api integrations in the future any way At this point, assuming the tech gets 3x as good as it is now in 12 months, it's going to do weird things because this can generate fine scaffold code, can generate working app code in some cases, but at this time still needs a domain expert to review the code and look for silliness or perf optimizations. Beyond that, I find that most of the difficulty in creating functional large-scale apps comes from the work of having to figure out what you want the system to do, what its parts are, and how they interact. All of that architecture will eventually be something that can likewise be spit out and validated. Over time this will reduce the number of humans needed to solve a given software problem. Flipside, I want to stay in this industry for another 8.5 years, and my philosophy has always been "if you see robots encroaching on your work, try to become the person who controls or maintains the robots", so I am absolutely keeping abreast of this stuff and will be experimenting to see to what extent I can speed up my own development by letting an AI handle some of the more rote, obvious things. Just spitting out a functional API from a specification is something we could already do. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Dec 3, 2022 |

Apparently the STM32H7 chips that are very popular in a lot of audio applications are in short supply right now. I believe this is what's slowing down the Behringer Soul/Spirit/Bolca release as well. Not sure what they mean about technical limitations though, those are super capable SoCs with DSP power comparable to a Pentium 3 or about 8x that of the Motorola 56k line. You'd have to have a very demanding (or unoptimized) application to need more than that.
