Startyde posted:It’s great, 2080 partials and the session card built in. Small enough to velcro under your board. You’re losing on higher fidelity partials(it’s fine) and istr an fx bus. If I didn’t have a 2080 I’d have one of them. If you don’t ever see yourself buying expansion ROMs, might be a pick. Love my 1010, and fwiw it does have a single card slot that being said the cards are even worse than the units these days and honestly if you're not doing GM stuff or dungeon synth idk if the value proposition is really there anymore

curried lamb of God posted:The Samples from Mars library is held in high esteem by a lot of people - it's $99 for all of their samples, but goes on sale frequently iirc I bought this earlier this year and my review is a solid B+ https://samples.kb6.de/ imo this is a better (and cheaper) version of the concept, or goldbaby  for like processed sounds if for whatever reason you don't wanna do it yourself. that being said I haven't dived deep into their synthesizer packs so maybe I'm missing some of the magic but like one of my favorite things from the kb6.de site is all the EMU rompler (Orbit, Planet Phatt, etc) and workstation not-technically-drums-but! type stuff and I haven't found the Samples From Mars equivalent yet

i plan on buying an old rack mount synth/rompler next month probably and i'm leaning towards a 1080 or a TR Rack but it all depends on what people are asking for them at that point

With Japanese imported stuff how compatible is that with a us outlet I’ve bought Yamaha stuff from Japan and just used the usb to dc adapters because they’re all the same but idk for Roland stuff

Are you looking at the SC-155 listed on Reverb, from Plain Store Gear Outlet? That's who I got my SC-88 from.

Basically all electronics fall into either "120v" or "220v" ratings but both are actually pretty loose in practice.

Mine came with a Roland ACI-120J but an ACR-120 should work as well.

Wonder if the minijacks on this are sturdier than the ones on the NTS-1? They don't look any better in the close-ups. Also, I'm getting tired of instruments hiding cool stuff behind a 7seg display and a few cryptic buttons.

The parts cost similar, but it’s much simpler in software to drive a numerical display than it is to do all the pixel juggling a graphical display would require, and then that’s a whole new piece of software that needs to be maintained, not to mention a different skillset for the engineer.

Arms_Akimbo posted:Kaoss Pad NTS-3 looks dope, especially for someone like me looking for fx for my microfreak This looks really sweet. My first thought was “can I tape this to a guitar and have it be usable” but I would get it just for synths and it being a small and simple x/y midi controller. I would usually complain about the display too but it’s more tradable than some other displays like that (like when I can’t even tell what letter it’s supposed to be representing). Looks cool too, and self assembly seems fun and straightforward.

Yeah the "self assembly" of the NTS range is literally just so you get the IKEA feeling. They're supposed to be moddable, but I don't know of many people actually doing that. The fact they can take user effects plugins is neat though.

It’s cheap cheap cheap boms and I hate it. Maybe eventually someone will come up with some kind of rack unit. Maybe make it a standard.., Startyde fucked around with this message at 08:11 on May 15, 2024 |

Hey just a note to say bespoke synth seems to be the bee's knees. It's like a daw, but all the bits you'd find in a menu are broken out into separate modules that you patch together. I just gave it a quick whirl, and it only took a few seconds to figure out how to get a sequencer set up and feeding nonsense to a free vst from noise engineering. yep, I think this will work, and has an interface / workflow that my brain might be able to understand and enjoy learning. No charge either. The website has a donation to charity button.
