Moogerfooger delays are good, but not worth their full price tag unless you've got spare cash to burn. And synthesists never have spare cash to burn.

Can anyone recommend iPad/iPhone apps that are good for loading and triggering samples? Ideally with realtime control over one shot/looped playback, momentary/latched triggering, playback volume & pitch. As much as I enjoy Samplr for creative mangling, it's not ideal for improvised layering of dozens of long samples to form audio collages.

W424 posted:Anyone into programming Lemur? I'd like to make a bunch of dropdown menus, each selection sending a simple sysex message and if possible an endless knob cabable of sending 2 different messages depending on rotation direction. That's totally doable and quite simple, but prepare to experience some pain during the implementation. Lemur's custom kinda-C programming language is pitifully slapdash and under-developed, and the Lemur editor totally gives no fucks for lubricating the coding process.

Even as an iPhone & iPad owner, I'm cringing to gently caress at the need to use an App to get samples on that device. Got a great sound on my field recorder? Nice. Time to USB it onto my laptop, iTunes it onto an iDevice, then App it over to the Volca Sampler. gently caress that poo poo right up in the missing audio input.

Is there an iPad app that'll let me trigger and modulate the volume of multiple long audio loops simultaneously? i.e. MP3 files that are possibly up to an hour in length, although I'd accept something limited to only ~15 minute long files. Bonus points if the app has locator scrubbing, pitch, and reverse playback functionality. (I really, really wish Samplr was more usable with source material longer than 1 or 2 bars.)

Get any individual who's giving out recommendations to understand your personal specific circumstances, goals and experience before they loosely state their own vague opinion/historical choices as a universal truth. "One size fits all" only works as a Zappa album. Diversity is strength.

Pop the top and ensure all the chips are well-seated in their sockets. This smells strongly of the firmware waiting indefinitely for a processor or bus controller to initialize.

Maybe take a look at the Yamaha MG series mixers? Good value (esp. 2nd hand), USB audio interface built-in, don't lack any features I'd personally consider vital, instantly intuitive to use, and drat near indestructible. I've stuck a few in some of my local venues and they've survived the most incredible abuse from performers on the more "extreme" end of things.

Juno 106s aren't especially rare, but they are quite desirable due to their MIDI support, patch memories and pitch stability (DCOs). They were also considered for a long time to be the primary ingredient for making generic Goa trance. As with everything, I suppose it depends on how much you like their sound. I can't comment on the price, though, as the modern "vintage" market is bonkers. I remember when 106s in perfect nick were just a couple of hundred!

Are you maybe thinking of one of the semi-recent shite-tier controller-dongle MPCs that needed to be connected to a computer? Anyway, take a gander at the Sequential Circuits Studio 440, OP, for some true vintage (12 bit) analogue (filter) drum computer flawed-but-awesome sequencing power. I'll likely be buried with mine. Alternative suggestion: Yamaha RS7000. Another unit that'll have to pried from my cold, dead fingers.

1: pump a monophonic MIDI sequence through an arpeggiator device/plugin, automating/controlling the arpeggiation divisions/beat durations. 2: similar, but in the audio domain with the monophonic audio fed through a gate/VCA/filter being modulated by a LFO or repeating env that's switched between tempo-related durations. 3: if you have a Mac, then Numerology (plus an optional LaunchPad for hardware control) is the best sequencer investment as it gives you as many ratchetable, complex parallel sequencers with limitless inter-modulation possibilities as you could ever want.
