Yamaha RS7000 samples, synths, sequences, MIDIs. It's definitely a large unit in charge.

Pillow Face posted:oh man, 707 also scratches that itch for a groove box that i can play with on the couch, looks like no midi import expert though I think any of them would technically work if you're willing to record the midi out of your pc into the sequencer. If you want to drag and drop a midi file then the 100 and the 70 have smart media flash drives that you can transfer onto I have a 100 I've been thinking about selling actually if you decide you need one. edit: only the 100 has a smart media interface thinking of selling the QY only because I have all the XG sounds on my piano and I'm not using it to write music any more. I do like the 480ppq sequencer though, its basically unquantized. A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Dec 16, 2020 |

ok cool, thanks for the leads, time to dive some manuals and figure out what’s right rs7000 does look mighty tasty although i’m assuming it’s difficult to get it to do this https://youtu.be/lPotDYDpfUc

Lots of little projects out there to serve different skill levels and desires. Check out the Noise Toaster for something a little more interesting than the atari punk console. Synthcube bought the MFOS stuff after Ray so they sell kits or bare PCBs. The wiring illustrations on the site make soldering it all up fairly simple.

I bought a Liven 8bit warps as an impulse buy, it was $220 including shipping and power supply. Seems like you get a lot of synth for the price https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=188uasv1pEs

Anyone have any larger Eurorack cases? My current setup is 4x of Tip Top's 3u rails, 2x uZeuses, and a powered Intellijel case. I'm at 440 HP of full size modules, and a mix of both 1u format modules. I've really slowed down on module purchasing, I'm getting maybe one new module a year, so I don't need much more space now but I'll want to be flexible. I both don't have enough power for my modules, and not enough space. I'm trying to figure out upgrade options. I was originally looking at less mobile solutions, but the local Eurorack shop has some portable cases available that can hold 672 HP via the A-100PMS12 12U 168HP Monster Case, or 504 HP via the MDLRCASE Performer Series Pro 14U 126HP Case. The MDLRCASE also has two 1u rows. If it weren't 2020, I would probably just go to the shop and spend some time with each case, but I'm not super comfortable spending more time than a quick pickup anywhere right now, so I have to turn to the internet. Anyone have any experience with these cases? Anyone have recommendations for other 500 HP+ Eurorack solutions?

Can't help but I'm interested in hearing about this - I did the classic beginner move of just buying a small 3u case, thinking I wasn't gonna 'get into' eurorack, I'd just build a small setup to go with my semimodular stuff. I think im looking for 6u 104hp, but still figuring out details. What layout do you guys find most useable/ergonomic? Something angled rather than horizontal or vertical definitely seems more reasonable. How do you find 1u modules? Must have or just nice to save space in a portable setup? I don't really understand powering a larger case so I've got a bunch of research to do. What a money and time sink ughh.

I think im looking for 6u 104hp, but still figuring out details. Here's where I am right now:  It's not enough power for what I have on the rack, a few modules don't turn on right now. It's not the worst to use right now, but hitting the limits of power and space have me needing to upgrade. I also wouldn't mind something that was portable. Rent a cabin somewhere, bring with the eurorack, and just noodle for a weekend. 1u ends up beneficial in two ways: It's a convenient gimmick, and 1u modules are generally less expensive than 3u modules, so a lot of my modules were gifts from other people. I did end up mixing both 1u formats when I first got some, because I didn't understand there was a different. I think in the end I like Intellijel's format a bit more, but I get why Pulp Logic is upset at Intellijel about it.

field balm posted:What layout do you guys find most useable/ergonomic? (almost) Vertical. But that probably depends on the height of the support and whether you are sitting/standing. Angled/horizontal is better when I'm standing. Portable. This is crucial because I move the gear often to jam with friends and it helps to position the case how you want it.

Chainclaw posted:Power Stuff I just finished a DIY power and busboard project, AMA. One thing that really helped me when I ran into power problems was settling on the configuration of my rows and then summing all their consumption. That let me look at what I needed for now, and what I wanted to have available for later. I ended up rating the supply for 2A to service two 1A busboards with the option to daisy chain the AC line. It's close-ish to what Doepfer offers. On your current setup: The uZeus can produce a decent current (1-3A depending on the brick) for the positive rail, but much less so for the negative. If your failing modules are analog, this may be why they won't function correctly right now. Or both rails are overburdened. Just be careful if anything is buzzing (overloaded switching supplies) or too hot (overloaded linear regulators). bonus shot of my "carpentry"

Here’s my mess  Recently moved my music to the office. Need a whole other desk for this stuff I think. I’m going to look for a guitar stand like that at the guitar center. I also mocked up a woodworking project for a desk stand for the octatrack that incorporates a 1u rack space underneath so I can get rid of this huge rack I have sitting on the floor that only houses a patch bay. Not sure if I’m going to build it or not tho. I can also mount the 1u to a wall stud

Chainclaw posted:Here's where I am right now: Those tiptop rails actually look super cool imo, but yeah that doesn't look portable at all. That's a lot of modular to fit into a suitcase style case but I'm excited to see it done! I like the idea of cheaper utility modules, and I can see how 1u really makes sense in a bigger setup where you need a lot of multing, mixing etc. Something to consider for sure. SpaceGoatFarts posted:(almost) Vertical. But that probably depends on the height of the support and whether you are sitting/standing. Angled/horizontal is better when I'm standing. That makes sense, because of the available space/furniture in my apartment my modular is reasonably high up and I generally operate it standing. Maybe a dumb question but does it feel stable to insert and remove cables with your case vertical or does it wobble around etc? That guitar stand idea is genius btw. Gotta say I love the aesthetics of your system. That verbos skiff is sexy, and i have never seen black panels on the mannequins stuff. It looks kinda wrong but also great!

Not a dumb question at all. The stand itself is very stable, and the protective rubber prevents the case from moving. But it's true that it takes a bit of trial and errors to find the correct angle where the case doesn't move at all even with force applied. field balm posted:Gotta say I love the aesthetics of your system. That verbos skiff is sexy, and i have never seen black panels on the mannequins stuff. It looks kinda wrong but also great! The black panels for Mannequins stuff and Batumi are from BKM panels before they closed their shop when people requested them to stop putting Jack Chick tracts in their orders. It's quite dumb because they had a niche market, selling panels for popular modules matching the Make Noise black and gold aesthetics . Oh well at least I snatched what I wanted before that debacle. As you can see I'm a sucker for aesthetics in the racks. It makes me want to use them more when they are pretty, and using them more is always good.

I NEED a piano so badly. MIDI keyboards are cheap, relatively speaking. If you’re at the point where you’re spending $800+ for an 88 key hammer weight board you probably already own a synth-style controller, or wouldn’t mind the $100-$500 outlay of adding one.

I picked it over the lower models because I wanted the XG sounds and the midi ports. the fiancee wanted me to get one with built in speakers 'so there wouldn't be a bunch of wires all over the place'. sorry baby

I play piano. I consider piano my preferred instrument and don't have one. As a controller I use the gma now because its small. Or the huge 76 key ensoniq. I'll probably just wait 10 more years or however long until I have a stable house and buy an upright

You could replace/complement your existing stuff with a NI or Arturia or Nektar as a primary MIDI keyboard with piano-like feel, or splurge and get something like a Nord if piano's such a big deal All I was saying was, worst case scenario--if you find playing other midi instruments with weighted keys weird, a cheap 25/37/49/64 key unweighted board or keytstep or whatever isn't unreachable.

Ive never tried. If i had an expensive stage piano, that could be 2 birds with one stone

I posted a song and now i removed it because the next morning that I now listen to it I think it sucks, but hey thats how the game goes. Thinking about a deluge because the digitone just being 4 pages, that's not nearly enough. All I can get is like 4 measures of music out of it unless I do some annoying tricks to change the quarter notes to 8th notes. I need to sequence an entire song, looping sucks.

Largest they make is 420 so you could do that and a skiff to get to your HP requirement but I started with the 270 and now have the 360 and both have been great as long as you can tolerate sliding nuts.
