Many of them are teaching online but lots of independent teachers are still suffering economically and unable to make up the shortfall of lost in-person classes. Lots of students have also had to drop their lessons, which also places economic burden on the teachers offering services. quoting this so it doesn't get overlooked on the last page, this is a great idea that I just never think of these days.

If you want that particular sonic character it does it really well, if not, it'll feel pretty limited. I'd say if you're looking for a modular-adjacent something, the Neutron or Minibrute are a much better option (or 0-coast)

it seems like polyphonic on modular would be insane and insanely expensive to pretty much end up with a weird multi-timbral (like 3 or 4 timbres) hard to control weirdo poly, unless you buy multiple copies of all the same modules at which point why not just get a proper polysynth. paraphonic is much more doable if you really want both modular and multiple voice keys in the same system, really doable if you just start with a matriarch (still very very expensive though)

That Matriarch is so buy it for life. I have the GM, it's definitely my favorite synth that I never use and don't understand. Those two, plus a Nerdseq, and a giant Lost in Space robot sized modular stack: 'yeowwch my wallet.' I noticed on the Plogue website, Sforzando. Free sfz player? If this is what I think, you could input SF2 soundfonts to play. For example, your favorite SNES soundfont (Chrono Trigger perhaps), then you can use those samples to play on your synth. Wow that's going to be really cool if it works like I hope. If you can make your own custom samples into SFZ, and replay a MIDI file, that I think would be a game changer into the way music is written. You could score your music like a real composer and then select your instruments. As cool as vertical modtracking is, it feels separated from the classical methods that might be more versatile.

Those two, plus a Nerdseq, and a giant Lost in Space robot sized modular stack: 'yeowwch my wallet.' You can load soundfonts in Ableton, and yeah it works exactly as you put it. The method is a little weird to get the sf2 files converted to simpler presets, compared to most things in Ableton, but it’s incredibly simple, I have loads of N64 sound fonts and make Kirby 64 style tunes sometimes. Although the plogue thing is free, I’m sure it works the same way, but I thought you had a Live license anyway? https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts?asc=true&formats=sf2&order=name&tags=n64 I got most of the ones I have from here, some are done poorly, but most sound great. imhotep fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Jul 22, 2020 |

Sforzando is pretty cool. There's a lot of soundfonts around on the web, and there's a lot you can do with scripting. It also takes scala files for microtuning. https://archive.org/search.php?query=soundfont https://sfzformat.com/

I was really down on how the neutron's filter sounded and then I found that you can patch around it? Ended up ordering it and a key step last night. I also saw people talking about passive modules to add which seems really cool, any suggestions for those?

I cant think of any other kinds of modules that don't draw power except passive attenuators but I could just be blanking

You can get a killer synth for that kind of money. It was a great synth, and anyone getting that is going purely out of nostalgia and having something historic. I think, yeah, I think I'm going to pass on this amazing deal! Mistayke fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jul 22, 2020 |

I'll read the user manual too. I got the UM-ONE Roland usb to midi cable, device drivers installed. Can load Sysex files, can control softsynths. But I smell something burning and it's' hot. Probably an IC. I'll pick up a sautering iron and finally teach myself how to do all the repairs. Radioshack will fix it for $75 an hour... but gently caress that I need to learn sometime.

Did some research last night and picked up a behringer q802usb, and I also have an Asus essence stx ii pcie card in my desktop. Figured I'd go with a cheap USB mixer because I would like the option of jamming live DAWless out in the livingroom, or mess around with something like the Valhalla reverb on my laptop, I don't really need multi track recording

Yesterday our improv band played at A.MAZE Berlin festival’s live stream. For this session we had two eurorack modulars, a drum machine (mostly as a metronome and master clock), KORG iM1 on iPad and drums, guitar, bass and miscellaneous other noises. It was the first gig for the band and we had loads of fun! It’s not perfect but pretty happy with how it turned out since it was pretty much all made up on the spot. https://youtu.be/EdsN9zIVySA?t=625m (The time should skip to 10h25min)

excellent bird guy posted:Aww poo poo, downloading now! I'll read the user manual too. In my recording class at college our professor taught us how to solder by having us fix a bunch of TRS cables which was an easy and low risk way to practice without loving up a synth, and saved him time/money by having students do it. But it’s really not that difficult if you’re careful, or at least in my experience it hasn’t been, but the first thing I ever soldered was a ‘polybeast mod‘ for my Korg Poly 800 ii, which was more time consuming and annoying to install because you essentially have to completely take apart the entire synth and less because it was actually hard to do. It wasn’t really worth it in the end, for me at least, since I use that synth for like one patch that I haven’t been able to replicate with any of the ~100 soft synths I have on my laptop, but learning how to solder to actually repair gear is really useful.
