Rutibex posted:ok now the synths included in FL Studio are too weak and I am learning how to use Euro Rack Simulator so that i can harvest sounds directly from the mind of god Use the 'audible instruments' modules, which are ports of Mutable Instrument's hardware modules. They sound fantastic and will eat days of your life knob twiddling.

Cryptography requirements have motivated modern OS' to put a ton of effort into building entropy, feeding in values from a dozen different subsystems (time, free memory, user keyboard timings, mouse movements, and so on). This means any random number produced by calling that function is going to be relatively high quality. There's no guarantee your vsts are using that function call, but the option is certainly there. It's a big waste to try to come up with your own source of randomness because people much smarter than any of us have put years of effort in to it. I guess if you enjoy the process of rigging Geiger counter to your computer go for it, hacking on computers is fun. But you're not gonna a perceptibly superior randomness.

For those geiger type pops play with a burst and/or a ratchet module. And a euclidean generator to trigger them.

snorch posted:Holy crap I've been wanting animoog forever thank you. It's sad that it appears to be abandoned software, the noises you can get out of it are delicious and I guess it still performs that function, but they've been updating some of their other stuff to auv3 and it's unfortunate that animoog hasn't gotten that.

Animoog is split into separate iphone and ipad apps so if you got one of each, make sure to pick it up on both. IAP doesn't transfer between the two which is infuriating, but such is life. Blame Apple for being dumb or blame Moog for not making a universal app.

Dongle hell is the reality we live in, so at the very least buy the biggest usb hub you can afford to try and space out the upgrades. Technically it's an improvement over the pre-usb days but it sure doesn't feel like it.

That's my path, use software synths for everything and blow the budget on MIDI controllers to satisfy the knob twiddling urge. It's still a money sink but it's a lot less money to get going.

brand engager posted:If you put usbc on my midi controller I will physically manifest in your house and make you solder in a new port when it inevitably gets broken The specification talks about that, the ports need to handle some specific wrenching force to get certified. The cables are supposed to break before the port as well. I assume usb-a and usb-b did that too but I'm not gonna dig up the spec sheet to compare differences. I have no doubt that the wrench threshold is not enough to deal with us humans being idiots or vendors cheating the tests but if you take the usb group's words at face value, this is not a problem!

Splinter posted:The new MOTU Ultralite (mk5) is finally USB-C. Some iPads are using C now too (Pros and the latest Air I believe), so we might be seeing more C adoption in the audio interface world. Having an interface that can be used for an iPad an computer w/ the same cable does sound appealing. The AUDIO4c has two usb-c ports on the back for connecting to both iOS stuff and desktops. So it's already happening! It also has a usb-a port for connecting midi controllers.

It's better than it used to be. The lovely stuff is still happening too much but the fact that it's getting reported is still pretty important, it makes it harder for the bigots to hide. None of us will be alive when the problem is solved but I think humans will get there eventually.

Just like like with real world instruments or modules, there is massive benefit to loving around for an hour everyday and seeing what order comes out of the chaos. There's definitely utility to knowing the conventional way of running patches, it saves a lot of recreating the wheel, but the real value comes when you start feeding mutilated waves into random cv inputs. Having no limits on the number of modules you conjure out of nothing is pretty silly but it is fun. I feel like Cohen's videos are too much "rest of the loving owl" to be really useful for learning but it's hard to compete with the number of videos he cranks out.

The biggest problem with iOS stuff is all the apps are designed for iPads and are agony to use on a phone. On the other hand, it's good that 99% of them are buy once use anywhere so at least you can do it,. Latency seems good enough, and the form factor (whether a phone or tablet) is unbeatable for screwing around away from home.

The Voice of Labor posted:just lol at mixers. get an audio interface with a bunch of inputs. grow massive cabley roots. drive steel rods into the ground to literally ground you and your equipment  Mixers are great to fiddle with when the film crew comes in to do a documentary about your creative process. But for actually doing stuff an octopus worth of inputs is where the fun is at.

It's very much an MS-10 clone but it feels a little more gritty to me, makes me feel like I'm playing an NES. I just wish it could sync with anything, I'd use it more if it fit into an ecosystem better. There's people that came up with hacks to do it but they're all a bit crappy.

Anyone know of a good book/resource/whatever for signal processing? Obviously a quick google reveals a billion results so I guess I'm asking for a goon suggestion to narrow the selection down. The more it presents examples that I can fiddle around with the better.. long winded theory or terminology dumps is gonna wear me out fast. In short I recently got the Audulus 4 beta, which is an iOS modular synth. It can run as an auv3 plugin now and I've been using it as an FX processor to do terrible things to the outputs of my favorite softsynths. I've had some fun googling for formulas and plugging them in but I think it's time to actually start teaching myself more than gain adjustments or mangling the pitch.

I've used SunVox for eons as my tracker because the modular sound design is too dang fun. I also love how it runs on everything. But if you just want traditional sample based tracking, yes , schism is where you look.

Soldering is one of those things that seems scary until you do it. The you're like "oh, that's all there is to it?" So anyone who isn't sure they could do it, get a decent iron and go try it.
