Easily available, midi controllable and not super expensive.

There's a sale on T-store, I could get both a Waldorf Streichfett and a Roland D-05 for 500 euros. I'm kinda tempted.

Gotcha.

Yeah, the D-05 could definitely fit the bill.

Leftfield retro suggestions, which'll require patience depending on your local second-hand market (which'll probably see a rise in options in a couple of weeks): Korg Wavestation, Kawai K5/K5000, Casio CZ series, Yamaha SY85, Kurzweil K2000.

Sound design suggestions to sculpt the result: comb filters, phasers, tight EQ, gritty mid-fi digital effects.

It's funny to me that cold and metallic tonal palettes are no longer easy to find due to the synth companies over-reacting to all their negative 90s gear reviews by somewhat single-mindedly fixating on "warm; analogue; fat; knobs." Meanwhile, the modular domain gets a large influx of LCDs, digital processing, and rotary encoders. Swings and roundabouts.

e: Forgot to mention the Kurzweil!

Is there any good way to get a pulse out of my TR-8 that can reliably trigger the clock in on my Juno 6? I assigned the rimshot sound to one of the assignable outs but I don't quite think its loud enough or what the juno is looking for. It triggers about 90% of the time but any sort of arpeggiation is played way out of sequence. Cool sound actually, but I want to be able to have it useable. Would something like a clean boost guitar pedal to up the signal work, or am I sort of boned?

Get rid of the TR-8.

Get a TR-808. :devil:

I used to fly around with a ton of music gear & all the drat cables, tools & accessories. My technique was to show my music tech industry-related business card, and sometimes a photo of my office desk. "Look, I have to deal with this poo poo for a living."

US airports post 9/11 were always the twitchiest, obviously.

e: being a timid weirdo with a British accent probably helped complete the image.
ee: and showing the Yamaha business card was an instant upgrade in Japanese flights & hotels.

Here's the Klee app made by Defective Records: http://defectiverecords.com/klee/index2.html

It's not Max4Live, though, but rather an old-school compiled Max application (retro! vintage!), and be sure to RTFM (accurate hardware emulation!).

Anyone backing that Modal Skulpt portable synth? It looks pretty cool but I don't know that I can justify it when I have a Volca Keys already.

It's pretty much the definition of a box to grab half-price in a year on the second-hand market when it's capabilities and limits are better understood and the early dreamers have moved onto the next shiny.

e: much like the volca keys. :v:

That's a lot of semi snake oil waffle for:

new device found > host app queries device capabilities > device reports capabilities >
host app attempts to auto-configure against a set of pre-defined expectations >
user fights against interaction edge cases and incomplete customization UI


e: to be fair, they have correctly identified the core failing of OSC.

ee: this should honestly be labelled "mLAN 2.0"

Oh yeah, we're definitely ready for something new and usable.

Speccing the solution behind closed doors so a small cabal can collude on first-mover tight integration and coincidentally "forget" competitors' needs is just more of the same poo poo that has crippled previous ventures, though.


e: vvvv So you know, I'm a miserable old git with decades of jadedness and cynicism over the industry part of the music tech industry, so it's probably best to just ignore me. :v:
