W424 posted:Not to be a dick but posts like this are mystifying. I mean doing the same thing but with a shittier computer and shittier editing/interface. See previous thread title: "I could've saved 5000$ and used VSTs but I wanted knobs". 1: it doesn't take that much processing power to do midi sequencing, so the "shittier computer" point is pretty much moot. 2: dedicated, single purpose, interfaces are seldom shittier for doing the one thing they were designed to do even though they may be older or more constrained. Basically, hardware sequencers work really well and present no obstructions to, or distractions from, sequencing.

Panda Time posted:Scoping out reverb units, ideally trying to avoid grainy digital artifacts for nice plate and ambient swells. Pick up an old Pioneer unit off of ebay, they have pretty lights. Or get a reverb tank or two, build your own amp circuit and roll your own. Basically, get a real spring reverb. It'll probably be noisy, will only have one reverb mode, but you can shake it for the coolest noises.

Just put a backlit LCD into a Casio CZ-101. Surprisingly, the job only took a little more than two hours. It feels oddly good to have my first real synth again. I'd forgotten how good and strange that thing sounds. Regardless of the similarities in synthesis type, it sounds very little like any Yamaha FM synth. Once I find a good internal battery mod for it, I'll be good to go. Weird, I put a backlit LCD into my gameboy last week. If I had the same level of productivity for making music as I have for replacing screens, I'd have an EP done by now.

Only had to take the back part of the case off and the top two boards, the LCD bracket was easily removable without pulling any of the other boards. Gonna try and order one of these today, hopefully the dude still has some in stock and is answering his emails http://www.artefacts.nl/Products.html Kind of a bummer that it's so involved, putting in a backup battery for the HT-700 was just a matter of two diodes, a cr3032, a cap and 3 leads.

My CZ-101 battery mod came in the mail yesterday (the one from artefacts.nl). Gonna install it on Sunday. Which means I'll have a CZ-101 with a backlit screen which I can unplug without loosing my patches on. The only other thing I can think to do to it would be to make a diy ram cart.

http://www.artefacts.nl/products.html Artefacts cz-101 battery mod has passed the +/- 24 hours unplugged and patches still stored test. It's a little pricey and the installation is a tiny little bit involved for what it is, but, by golly, it works.

ynohtna posted:Hey, Sizone, I've got of EZ-CZ memory cartridges here if you're desperate to archive your killer phase modulation patches off-device in case your RAM battery mod flakes out. Each stores 4 banks of patches thanks to two small DIP switches and the magic of upper bit memory buss binary addressing. Probably, if the price is right. 16 patches without resorting to midi dumping really isn't that much.

Firaga posted:I guess I'm just confused with how we are supposed to play a full track without saving a 16 bar loop then building a new patch etc. I guess we just need more synths and just sync them together. Still trying to understand how all of this works exactly. Ah, I think I see some of the confusion here. Pretty much anything other than the microbrute would be polytimbrle, or at least able to accept program changes via midi. Really, what you need to do is buy another synth. Sampling the microbrute and then using it as a backing tape is probably going to end in tears.

Looking to pick up a used Ipad G3. What are good apps/accoutrements? Gonna run Z3ta+ and Lemur on it for sure, need a minimum of a midi interface and an audio out. edit: My synth white whale is almost conquered. Managed to get a copy of unisyn running on my oasyspci mac (sadly, lost the usage of the oasyspci in the process). Now I have a functional patch editor going for the Asr-x pro. The thing, red with the blood from startyde's brother, now has max ram, updated o.s. and CAN....BE....PATCHED. Next paycheck, I'm going throw some good money after bad again and try to get the scsi/cf working so it has storage. So, now you may be asking why. Why invest so much time, money and frustration into such an obvious boondogle? Here is why; 1: handrolled transwaves. I love that crunchy wavetable sound and being able to make my own out of reified frustration and samples from robot cake farting porn is super dope. 2: Resonant filter. Let's assume for a second that you're me and that you have, for whatever stupid reason, fixated on the ensoniq MR hardware class. The only two instances of it that have a resonant filter are the Fizmo and the Asr-x. Though, now that I finally can actually patch it, I'm disappointed that the asr-x doesn't, at least not yet, sound as plasticky and strange as the fizmo filter. 3: Microtonal scales. In hardware there are, like, 2 things that support doing microtuning with a decent resolution, ensoniq MR stuff and the Marion synths. This is important to me because 12 notes is not really enough to be unlistenably dissonant in, except for the occasional MUSIC SHOULD BE FUN light project, everything should be in an exotic tuning, preferably Harry Partch's 43 tone scale. and, yeah, outside of software the only convergence of all 3 points is the Asr-x. Oddly, if I were to pick up an EXP-3 expansion card, the fizmo (sans arpegiator, knobs and vocoder) would be wholely redundant. Sizone fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Aug 19, 2014 |

A track pretty much done. Need to figure out how to get record to trigger in Reaper when I push play on the sequencer to make syncing easier, record each track separately by pattern, loop and mix. I'll put up the STEMs after I record in case anyone wants to use mathematics and technology to drop some science. https://soundcloud.com/rid_labs/back-turned-to-the-future-raw Sounds are JX-3P, JX-8P, CZ-101, RS-7000 drums samples are some Casio MT-68 breaks, a little circuit bent MT-240, Bruce Haack and Logan's Run. 0dB posted:Got an MR Rack and the EXP-3 and was happy that I spent $200 where a FIZMO rack is $2000. Then you tell me that the filter is strange and I hate you. If it makes you feel better, I picked up an MR rack after having had a Fizmo for years. The MR is -a lot- easier to interact with.
