finally figured out why the external midi keyboard was acting oddly with the a4 (eg adding trigs with the keyboard wasnt working right) -- it should've been on channel 9 (the 'auto' channel) whereas i was manually setting it to channels 1-4 (tracks 1-4) and somehow that affects trig adding even though it plays fine

i've been loving around with using resettable LFOs and quantizers to make sequences instead of actual step sequences and i'm pretty happy with the results https://soundcloud.com/dumbledog/the-algorithm

I dig it. Is there some way to fake a quantizer with the Aira modulars besides sample & hold?

not that I know of sadly. The "sequence" for the bass there was actually two aira LFOs ring modulated but I needed my Disting to do the quant hopefully roland is not done with the airas and they get another firmware update, it's such a great utility

here's an aira patch to show what i mean trigger goes into input 2, which resets the phases of the two lfos knobs 1 and 2 adjust lfo rates, 3 and 4 is resulting waveform's offset and scale (you'll want to attenuate hard so you're not quantizing 10 octaves)

what is best for mangling samples into music? I'm thinking Ableton but I don't know it and the interface seems clunky, but again I don't know it. I am also considering fl studio? what's a good goon recommended sample and beat making program?

for workflow purposes i'm two or three major updates behind, but FL does what i need it to with the tools i've added define what you mean by "mangling" and you'll get more useful answers between the two, ableton is infinitely better for live things (as it should be given the name), and FL is better for composition things imo

I saw earlier in the thread (read: nearly 2 years ago) a couple people were mucking about with real yamaha fm synth chips, did anything ever come of that? I have my own plans for stuff like that but gently caress if i know how i'm going to get anything to talk to the chip, or the chip to run correctly. There's a perfect-as-it-gets FPGA implementation of the opl3, though, which skips the whole timing/voltage control/etc problem for me. No-one seems to actually use chips like this for knob-twiddly synths for some reason.

alm has two eurorack modules using the opl, then the midibox guys have a desktop synth as well. the latter is probably of more interest if you want to diy from the ground up since that's all open

where has this thread been all my life. the humble book bundle at the minute is electronics based, and includes one on making analog synths. i don't know if it's any good but if you're like me and think synths are rad as heck but have no experience with them it might be worth checking out.

He's having a lot of fun with it, pretty sure it's not the same circuit as the old rack though. kinda want to grab one myself, but was thinking of maybe getting an akai timbre wolf - not sure it's worth the money, or any good, but it seems simple enough for something to start with.

maybe i'll keep an eye out in case one turns up cheap somewhere. the idea of having physical hardware is definitely appealing, i've only really used software synths until now

though if u don't mind slightly eh supernova-y analogue modelling see if u can get a secondhand k station for cheap. same knobby interface as bassstation keyboard, same portability, but polyphonic.

my kstation has some issues with the program knob jittering and kinda going crazy when im trying to select a program so i use the number inputs instead, but other than that it's still in good condition and i've toured with it before. i definitely would love to somehow give it a new enclosure and upgrade it but it seems impossible
