Hehehehe, the Yeah Woo machine got a firmware update. https://youtu.be/g9N1COrxGO0?si=3EHEfmZGRjFB8Tmu Eta: patch idea. Found a good fx loop for my drum mixer to make the kick really loud and nasty. The aux send gets multed. One goes to an input on warps, and the other through a comb filter, then to the other input on warps before heading back to the return. Befaco kickall is a pretty versatile kick module, but it is noticeably quieter than other drum modules, even set to square waves. Makes a great bass voice though, with 1V/Oct tracking, and a built in decay envelope/vca. With cv control for wave shaping, envelope decay, oh and I just noticed because I mever use external envelopes, but it has cv for amplitude control as well B33rChiller fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Lazy woodworking week! Made this box slanted and portable but didn't do the best job at staying square because I tried to be lazy and not use the tablesaw, then rethought that. So, some asterixs about the construction on this one. I also made the front 1.5" lower than the back and angled the whole surface which is  easier to use by a lot.      And I made a stand for my KSP because I didn't want to spend $100 on etsy and then wait 5 weeks.

Always cool to see DIY, I remember putting together a three-tiered stand once upon a time, it was a little wobbly but damned if I didn’t build it with my own hands and save €200 doing it! Took a trip to re-pc in Seattle yesterday and while it's mostly computer stuff they did have a fair selection of music gear. What struck me most was the sheer size of the volume knob on this quadrasynth, I don't think I've ever seen one this huge:  Also they have a beat thang for sale

The trick to a properly closing box is building it fully enclosed and only then sawing it into a lid and bottom bit. Even if you do it wobbly by hand or with a jigsaw, lid and bottom will match.

now that I am comfortable with the table saw, I think I could do a much nicer job on these, and then making them pop is mostly a matter of doing a good job with varnish or stain. If I wanted to actually make money doing that, though, I'd need to be doing something other than buying prefabricated power blocks and rails, but I might do some more really weird cases, along the lines of Skatethesizer, or a rack inside a still functional VCR, for funsies and then list them for Bespoke prices.

I had a fun noodle the other day with a s&h melody sampling a looping envelope while also multed to the envelope's attack time. Just enough feedback for it to get stuck in periodic orbits, and then I would nudge the clock to throw it off kilter. Works better with some envelopes than others.

Anyone own any Synamodec gear? I noticed prices have been dropping locally and places are selling off remaining stock, so I picked up an Astrogosus, Synadrone and Levitate. Just arrived and all three have wooden sides which surprised me as I hadn't seen these in any of the pictures/videos or even the synamodec website. Unfortunately both sides of the levitate and one of the synadrone sides are totally detached and the two bolts they've used do not fit snuggly in the holes in the case. The metal on the sides doesn't cover the entire side so the wooden sides are necessary. Have dropped them an email but surprised two out of three have issues and the sides on the other are not a great fit.

I did this with volcas and a cheap guitar. The video was taken with a cheap GoPro knockoff with a battery life of about three minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAGeF140jPU

That kind of stuff is so cool. I recently built a little timelapse camera out of a raspberry pi and keep meaning to "do stuff" with the video but it just never seems to happen. Maybe it's because I grew up on MTV but visualizing music with low quality video footage make it all hit harder.

This one's not really synths, but I used the same camera in a different park. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXDpVcGDa6o This one used a wildlife cam.

Do we have a music video thread? Because I feel like that should be a thing. Also why animals gotta lick the camera.

I ran the sequencer's cv into a sample and hold, and multed the held voltage to both the time and direction controls. It gave me some interesting generative patterns. Very sensitive to tweaking.

Anyone used both an 0-ctrl and a pressure points? I've always kind of wanted to get a pressure points but didn't know if it was worth it if you already gave an 0-ctrl

net work error posted:Anyone used both an 0-ctrl and a pressure points? I've always kind of wanted to get a pressure points but didn't know if it was worth it if you already gave an 0-ctrl 0-ctrl can do everything pressure points does and does it better. Unless you start stacking PP to get 6 rows of CVs I see no reason to go back to PP. The only thing I don't like about 0-ctrl is it seems the pressure CV out is slewed. Otherwise I never looked back. The 0-ctrl touchpad is so much more reactive.

I find the 0ctrl touch pads to lose sensitivity with dry air too quickly, as compared to the microfreak. I would grab the microfreak for a touch interface before the 0-ctrl. It retails for less too.

In a weird way, much as I had fun with the Microfreak and its touchplate, it's really come more to life for me since getting a Keylab 49 and having a wider range of notes instantly available. Having said that, the touchplate on the MF is boss for making insane expressive Pigments patches, and I guess if/when I fall into modular land having the voices and sequencer already attached is definitely a bonus

Even so sensitive it starts glitching. I had the problem you described with the pressure points, but never with the 0-ctrl

Microfreak is best thought of as a module with a touchplate IMO rather than a touchplate-first instrument

do people actually like the dx7 dac? it's known to be pretty bad. it produces this ever-present white noise hiss that is pretty grating if you don't have a noise gate even if so, i doubt the fm2 uses the same dac
