gonna post some more examples later of using video data as audio in the same patch at the same time, it's rad stuff in the mean time here's some samesuch content from a person who does these things with substantial practice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MotKdado8Nw&t=193s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG_Tp5mM6IM not even pretending to make music tonight  including a picture of the patch for the laughs; it's insane how quickly one burns through cables patching up three different channels which each are probably being CV modulated in at least 3-4 ways. This is analog oscillators interacting with analog ramp generators  I learned how to make directional gradients on TBC2 tonight Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Mar 1, 2024 |

I believe some people here have backed the Donner Medo on kickstarter, the campaign is not going well. Donner announced refunds a month ago but has not done that. They have also committed to an update every 10 days which they have failed to do until today, however this is the most recent update. quote:1.Optimized the algorithm for automatically initiating silence detection during sample sampling, incorporating an evaluation process for sample collection judgment.

I have another video on the tubes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBzCSXzwwpk Just jamming and filming said jams has forced me to think about my music in a completely different way. Never played live, more than likely never will but it has been an interesting experience.

I know this is maybe being too anal, but how long without playing an analog synth is it worth turning it off and turning it on again later? Like I assume if I’m going to take an hour break from practice then just leave it on, and overnight turn it off but how about in between that, in terms of minimizing wear on it balancing power constantly running through it vs. pushing power through from power cycles?

Depending on your system of course.... Analog/line stuff is real low wattage. Heat was always a bigger problem for me than power draw but I'd usually turn down my thermostat and just leave everything on (other than summer where I'd be fighting the AC during the day). It ended up being less than $1/day (pnw electricity though so cheap) and no problem w/ like component wear or anything. Powered mixers, guitar/power amps (including those in active monitors), and stuff w/ big digital screens the exception here (big power draw and caps that will dry out). But you can kinda tell cause they get hot

I've been exploring making sounds with the microfreak and limiting myself to create something with just the sequencer. I made this track https://soundcloud.com/neurohexconjurer/ambient-dumb. I have a tendency to wait too long to develop in my music though, for example the interesting glide section comes late. In the spirit of making music, I have a korga volca keys, and it's great. What are the low-mid range competitors for that particular synth? I'd like to step up a level with the same kind of analog type engine, but additionally have more control over the oscillator.

JamesKPolk posted:Depending on your system of course.... Thanks - this is just for a Pro 800. New to hardware synths and I know it’s not expensive but I want to make things last. I’m actually trying to figure out what I should get as a second analog synth to compliment it. Didn’t take long since the Pro 800 only arrived a few days ago…I used Repro 5 plugin so much that the Pro 800 was a braindead easy decision as to what I should get first but now I would like a second so that I can have a different sound playing as I perform with the other one. Like the current song would benefit with an ostinato while I’m playing the main part, which I am doing with the Pro 800 but a different patch would be good as well as not having note conflicts when I’m performing the same pitch. I could record it as audio but idk my single input on my interface is looking lonely. Has anyone used a Behringer Crave before? I am trying to do the second one as cheap as I can since I don’t really *need* it. The Crave being semi modular seems nice. I don’t really need its sequencer though since I am sequencing in Logic. Or any other suggestions really - poly would be nice but mono would do just fine. My needs are pretty basic right now for what a second synth would be doing, however the waveform limitations on the Crave make me second guess it. Oh, also smaller is better as my workspace is limited (thank goodness since splurging on some things is tempting but size is naturally limiting that).

Low cost, small space, you may want to consider a volca keys, or others in the volca line. It has midi in, so you should be able to sequence it from your computer (will require usb to 5pin din midi converter), or maybe the pro800 can send through USB midi to the 5pin port? Worth investigating, imo.

Worth investigating, imo. Thanks - I checked it out and those Volcas do seem pretty cool. However after a couple days of fighting it I ordered a Behringer K2. The MS20 sound is different enough from Sequential’s that I thought it made sense, already have some plans for how to use it but the clincher was when I saw a video showing that you can control it with a standard guitar and minor patching. loving crazy to me that is so easily done, and all of that for 200 bucks so if I have to sacrifice the space my Launchpad is taking up for it then so be it. I only have two inputs on my interface so hopefully this is naturally limiting in terms of wanting to immediately get more synths.

(HD plz) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS9LEC3moW8 the overbearing droning on top of everything is the sound of the video going through a Boing! LPG e: always using the generated audio from the video track in some way seems like a good goal of these patches. I was messing around with enveloping it and also sending it through Spectraphon; the pitch swings in the video here are on a Spectraphon resynthesis line, but no other external audio, just the video streams as audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9tMxWDB9Vs "calibrating to monitor" takes on a new meaning here, too. I am mostly looking at a CRT when I am building up these patches; stuff looks quite different coming out of the same encoder as component RGB; no crt glitching or ghosting but more importantly the colorspace is just always wildly different, so the last thing I usually do to dial stuff in before recording is twist my neck to look at the display on the BlackMagic pc that is showing what OBS is seeing, and loving with the six controls for per channel brightness and contrast to get the recording stream to be more or less what I'd had on the CRT, at which point the colors on the CRT look wonky as gently caress.

What would a “normal” noise floor be for an analog synth? I didn’t really notice this until throwing Logic’s auto mastering on but my Pro 800 seems to have a noise floor around -70db. I guess I had gotten lazy since discovering this auto mastering thing but I can’t really use it now since it amplifies the noise so much. I don’t really mind noise when I hear it in other people’s music - like I’m pretty sure some music I listen to even adds noise artificially for a tape like effect. But I’m going to need to wrap my head around it personally since last time I did any real sound production stuff was in the 2000s and having started on tape before then I was always trying to lower the noise floor, so I guess I took it for granted how low it was going purely digital with plugins. Mainly wondering if around -70db is normal since the pro 800 is only going on about a week old, so still getting to know it and although I didn’t notice it before I can’t unhear it now.

Tayter Swift posted:Can you stick a noise gate on it? I was messing with that but I have a fairly slow decay on my main keyboard sound so I lose the tail with a gate. It probably wouldn’t matter so much if I was doing a track with bass and drums but this is pretty exposed. This is what I’m dealing with (not finished) but both patches are from the pro 800. No EQ or anything outside of whatever a couple Valhalla plugins and stereo spread is doing https://whyp.it/tracks/161716/fine?token=1tYRQ I was looking into noise reduction but only tried Denoiser Classic so far. It has a sort of distorted sound on the top end when I just subtly reduce a little noise (I think it is letting through some noise erratically) but when I add enough noise reduction that the distorted sound is gone I lose too much top end and the patch sounds dull.

-70db sounds pretty quiet to me. i'd do a noise gate rather than a denoiser, personally.

If a noise gate is too binary, go with an expander.

I think me not noticing the noise until I tried to turn on Logic’s auto mastering is pretty telling (though I have some hearing issues and hear white noise anyway) so it might be that I just get used to it. Looking forward, my main issue is if I start layering a bunch of tracks that all have this noise floor it could make a mess.

Medo kickstarter might be the most fun I've had this year. Customer replying to latest update: "Has the hull plating been demagnetized? Considered using a type L phase discriminating amplifier? Tweaked the multi-phasic temporal convergences?" Donner response: "Thank you for your attention. The speaker's magnetism has been shielded and will not leak. The speaker is positioned 10 millimeters away from the motherboard, so it will not affect the motherboard. Additionally, MEDO has not implemented a guide tube."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzU8T2lKUhs this will be the most fun I have this year if I can find the will to pull the trigger. The more video content I see on this thing, the more I want one. It doesn't even have MIDI, presumably because they didn't want to figure out a bespoke layer and possibly software to manage 8 voices, 6 of which are composed of 6 oscillators each and in a way that's sort of aligned with the intended kinds of uses of the thing. Also it really looks like a ton of thought was put into making the controls useful and responsive and usable as well as interesting. This doesn't seem like something I just want to hook a KeyStep or Ableton up to.
