not to rain on your parade but i feel like you’d get better results velcroing a portable speaker like anker to the mpc

My only complaint about the Live 2 is it's a bit too chunky. Otherwise I love the thing. Arrows would be nice though.

Wasn't afraid of throwing the 1k in a backpack but that thing wouldn't fit if I wanted. I'd take all the lumps forever if they'd just get disk streaming sorted. It's very close to an integrated S-series sampler + 'workstation' as it is. There's gotta be one engineer or PM left over there that worked on the Fusion board and really really needs to see it exist and actually work. I hope.

Using GAS to distract from health problems and a sugar house fire. Ordered a used QPAS yesterday, then today while investigating Tall Dog DSO, saw that Blue Lantern had made and listed ten more firmware identical Zeroscope 8u units so I snagged one for $100. It's a tiny screen but it's two inputs plus a gate input and has a tuner, that's pretty good for the price and 8u.

On the subject of GAS: I ordered an module from Sweetwater today (the Doepher A-145-4, for those curious), and was browsing their synths afterwards, only to find that one of the synths I've been lusting after is on sale for $500 off  (I have resisted the siren song of further GAS, but only until my next paycheck comes in to offset the cost  )

Is there anything on the market that’s like a modern take on the EMU Emulator II? I mean a keyboard instrument where I can load it with audio samples, apply filters/envelopes/modulation, and play it all with polyphony? And don’t say “a DAW  ”

I've never had one but the op-z can do (some of?) that too. And it's slightly more available than the m8 is right now in the sense that stock actually exists.

I borrowed an m8 from the local music library last night and within an hour had a basic rendition of the Pokemon Center theme. Good times -- we'll see if I gel with the workflow enough to preorder for the July batch.

There are still workstation keyboards being made, like the Roland FA-series and Yamaha Motif. They aren't cheap though. The cheapest route here is probably a vintage rack sampler (like an old Akai or EMU rackmount) with a midi keyboard. The editing interface is... fun, though. Or look for older used workstation keyboards that had sampling, like I think the Kurzweil K-series had them or at least a sampling add on board? In general "Workstation" is keyboard speak for "something like a bunch of DAW functions with a keyboard attached".

Kind of related to GAS. I should have thought of it myself, but I learned in a DivKid video that you can use a sequential switch as a clock divider (with the clock as the one input plugged in). I often need an extra 2 or 4 divider, especially when my clock divider is set to primes or something weird, or to do octaves on a square wave

Having a really annoying problem w/ my feedbacking filter into feedbacking delay coming un-tuned when I turn my poo poo off. Do they make ts to banana cables? Like it would split to voltage and ground or something? I feel like voltage control would solve this but the delay is my single piece of banana gear and I'm trying not to spring for a converter box (which is just gonna enable serge/cat girl synth dalliances)

I picked up a PWM Malevolent a few months back and really enjoy it but it frustrates me that I can't find a case or decksaver for it. It's also the piece of equipment with the worst/non-existent documentation ever. I'm experiencing a delivery issue which has at least semi-cured my GAS. Been trying to pick up a Joranalogue Test 3 for months, they don't pop up on local eBay often. Won an auction for one 4-5 weeks back and the seller used a terrible courier Evri, a week after dispatch got a notification that courier couldn't deliver it one Saturday due to the exceptional large size which was clearly nonsense. Chased it up and they destroyed it a few days later. eBay seller never responded but got the money back when eBay stepped in. Saw another seller listing one, managed to win the auction, they sent it via a different courier 2 weeks ago but it still hasn't arrived. Starting to believe I'm just never going to own one.

Question for the thread because you guys probably know the answer. I kinda quit paying attention to music hardware and stuff for a few years, it was right when there was a dedicated VST machine advertising on KVR. I guess that never really took off?

Nah  Muse Receptor lasted a long while, was the expensive one and they've since left the direct sales business. The fun/cheap one was a dog, the sm pro v-machine. Main stage, et al., makes it not matter really.

I’ve hand a Matriarch for a few years, and it’s a forever instrument for me. I haven’t used as many synths as some, but it’s the best sounding and most rewarding synthesizer I’ve used. I predict they will go up in value when retired due to their built in delay… it seems every Moog delay seems to drastically increase in price once out of print. Maybe now’s the time?

I mean a keyboard instrument where I can load it with audio samples, apply filters/envelopes/modulation, and play it all with polyphony? As long as with “load” you are okay with “connect to computer and drag .wav files in there”, Korg Wavestate is the cheapest option. You get two gigabyte of storage. Don’t worry, after you are done you can just disconnect it. Everything else sucks. Old samplers are not worth it because the cheap ones are useless boat anchors (Akai S2000, E-mu ESI), and the old ones that are worth it command a fortune. If you really want to, an Akai Z4 or S5000 is useful, but they don’t have a built in keyboard.

Emphatically not the intended use, but I got a LattePanda board for this purpose. You do have to bring your own audio interface and enclosure, but it seems to run the Korg and Native Instruments VSTs I've tried well enough.
