So uhh, what's everyone's favorite Eurorack sequencer? I swear there are way way too many options in the Euro world these days but I'm going to be doing some carpentry here in a bit to build a keyboard tray under my MU modular to get my keyboards off the top of it, which will then free up space to build a few hundred HP of space for Euro stuff. Problem is, aside from an Expert Sleepers interface ( or two? ), I can't make heads of tails of the approximately 300 trillion varieties of everything in Euro. Seriously anyone planning on: A moog ladder filter A diode ladder TB-303 filter A simple 8 step sequencer with ping-pong and reverse A mixer A dual ADSR ....etc Should just loving shoot themselves. The world needs no more.

Ive been mainly eying the TipTop Z3000, and the Rene. Anything cool/microtonal on the quantizer front? Can't someone just make a thing that is like "OK, of the 400 modules that do this, here are the 5 that people actually use"? e: Oh god, the RS370 Poly Harmonic Generator. As a Kawai K5k owner, this makes my heart sing (and my wallet cry). toadee fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Nov 5, 2014 |

Yeah at this point I'm thinking I'm going to start with a an ES-3 with the ES-5 expander, the RS370, a maths, and a uhm, hmmmm Anyone with experience cross patching between 1/4 and 1/8 systems? Is it worth getting a dedicated module/box to format conversion or just buy some adapters/cables with different ends?

On the subject of that Expert Sleepers bit... So, right now in my setup I've got a firewire based Mixer with 12 analog ins that I mainly use, and then I have an EMU PCI card that has ADAT channels that I picked up cheap a long time ago on some cyber-monday deal. Anyway, Im planning on using that for an ES interface, but, Im realizing I'm going to need a way to use multiple interfaces inside my DAW. Do you just use ASIO4ALL or is Jack for Windows a viable/better option?

Behringer has been generally ok. People slag on them but the boss pedal copies sound great and the mixers are OK. I mean if listen to it first but presuming it sounds like a synth should it'd be in all likelyhood an amazing deal

A MIRACLE posted:How do you play notes through a rack synth, do you run a midi keyboard in or is it some cv thing? Usually MIDI out from a PC into it, you could control that via a dedicated MIDI controller keyboard or just draw the notes in on a piano roll (or type them in a tracker like a cool kid).

Sorry to double post, here's my Winter compilation mix. I guess its wintery because I was like "this digital bell-ish patch I made kinda make me think of snow on the ground", for whatever reason. My usual poo poo mixing applies. I also kinda gave up at the end because I have to leave to go drive away from my gear for a while so I wanted to get something done before time ran out. https://soundcloud.com/david-gates-2/untitled-magical-box-mix

It would probably have helped if I could mix properly at all. I just can't ever be bothered. My monitoring situation is real bad (Behringer Truth's sitting on top of a desk with a big empty area underneath it in an eclectically furnished 100 year old house with plaster walls and hardwood floors and no acoustic treatment), but honestly, I basically spend about 5 minutes mixing before going 'eh fuckit' and playing with more fart noises. Because farts. Fun fact: those load as heck DnB drum samples were from .it files posted in the 90s by none other than Bogdan Raczynski (then just 'bogdan of n.o.i.s.e.'). Trackers forever.

Ok so he mixed instead of mastered, who cares? I don't think he claimed to be doing a super duper professional studio job, and in the end, had a couple days to mash together a coherent sounding album. It turned out pretty well. You are overthinking it, and you are kinda being a diva here. Relax bro, we made a thing and it's cool.

It just came off as incredibly bitchy, and everyone had the opportunity to chime in with suggestions/offers back when bringing the album together as a cohesive mix was mentioned and no concerns were voiced. I mean I see the argument, the tact and timing is just missing totally.

Sizone posted:Now that Moby's shown his face in this thread again, he might be able to tell you the street value of a xoxbox. I'd say it's probably worth it in terms of market value BUT TB303s AREN'T VERY INTERESTING SYNTHS. It depends. The thing is though, if you aren't sure you want a 303, you do not want a 303. It's not 'interesting' in that it is 1 osc with limited modulation, but the amount of timbres you can get out of it is fascinating, and it takes to EQ and some overdrive gorgeously. Again though, reasons for wanting a 303 are "making Acid", and if the ability to make Acid (don't ever actually try to do this with a TB-3 or anything short of a x0x or TT-303) isn't that big to you, it is totally and absolutely not worth it.

A MIRACLE posted:Why hate on the TB-3? It looks like it has a decent / similar sequencer style. But yeah I decided I needed a 303-alike after playing with the software one on http://www.audiotool.com/ for like 3 hours without realizing it. The thing is mezmerizing Well for one, it doesn't faithfully recreate a lot of the sound of the 303 at things like extreme high resonance, repeated accents, and other little quirks. Secondly, it doesn't have a loving envelop mod or decay knob, which is insane. The stupid touch pad thing is not a replacement. I mean, Acid is at its core like an aural fetish for the very specific quirks of that vintage Roland gear, so it's really really important, if you want to make it, to get a very, very specific sound, no compromises. Even the x0x is actually pretty meh at it. That said if you like groovin to the loopy loops, have fun with the TB-3 or the audiotools emulation etc.

Yes, like I said, if you want to make Acid, go elsewhere, if you want a little bass synth with a simple sequencer that ties in well with a computer to do loopy jams, I'm sure its fine.

WAFFLEHOUND posted:It's loving fantastic for acid what are/aren't you smoking? Acid is very specifically the sound that came from the Chicago House scene in the late 80s and derivatives thereof. It is at it's fundamental core, the Roland sound, period. The continuation of Acid as a genre today is a direct result of the continued devotion to that specific timbre as a basis for the music. I know people want to claim that any bass synth line with a LPF kicked near self-oscillation is 'an Acid line' or 'the Acid part', but when I say "you want to do Acid?" I am not talking about that sort of thing. I am very specifically stating a genre or sub-genre of dance music directly related to the late 80s Chicago sound and nothing else.

It's not just the 303, it's the 101 and 202 as well, and of course the drum machines, mainly 909 and some 809 and 707, even some 606. It doesn't mean that any other music is bad or anything, just Acid as a genre is based on the purity of that timbre, so doing it with a tb-3 or vst or something is just pale in comparison is all.

Haha ok whatever, every artist we revere is a much or more of a snob about such things. Electronic music is general is more focused on it because selection of timbre is one of the major points that defines our music and differentiates it.

Sjoewe posted:Isn't that a bit of an anachronistic claim to make? I mean, if anything, the birth of acid pretty much boils down to some Chicago ghetto kids getting their hands on the cheapest synths available at that time and some shady guys at Trax Records that understood that they could earn big by tricking everyone into signing aways the rights to their music for a fistful of dollars. Anachronistic? I guess? It's just the truth. Acid is defined by that sound. I'm not even saying synths like the tb-3 are worthless. I'm saying if you want to make acid, a genre literally defined by a specific sound, things like it are pale comparisons to the real thing. So if you know you want to make acid, just get the boxes that make Acid and get on with it.

Yah welcome to music production. Like I said the artists you revere are twice as particular about every aspect. People like Aphex or BoC or Daft Punk or whoever go on and on about this poo poo. This isn't even a weird thing. If you want to be a chamber musician you're going to buy a violin or viola or cello. If you're going to be a Jazz guitarist you but a loving guitar, and a pretty particular one at that. If you're going to make Acid, you buy old Roland synths because they are what make Acid, period.

And most people couldn't tell the difference between a Vivaldi violin concerto and a Bach quartet. Does that mean we should stop Differentiating them? Hell most people can't tell the difference between a violin and a viola playing the same notes. Guess you should just pick up whichever of those you want, no real difference right?
