Your Computer posted:The OP-1 seems neat and all, but I think the biggest negative thing to be said about it is the price. As far as I can see, it's not that expensive because it's a technical marvel, it's that expensive because it's halfway between a synth and a fashion accessory kinda like a lot of Apple products. In other words, a neat toy for rich hipsters. I think everyone who doesn't really get the appeal of one should find a store and at least try it out. The appeal is really apparent when you're actually using it and the workflow is really nice for getting something down fast instead of loving around with a DAW for hours. I even use it on the train during my commute and it's fun.

I'm glad the atmegatron is sold out, I almost impulse bought it after seeing one demo of it.

MockingQuantum posted:On the subject of gear recommendations for modular, I'm also looking for a good general purpose (i.e. less crazy than the Echophon) delay or reverb options. I'm thinking pedals or a standalone unit, since I'd use it in the studio even when I'm not loving around with my modular. Are guitar pedals still a decent choice for synths? Should I be looking somewhere else? I like the catalinbread belle epoch or echorec depending you want something weird or more traditional. I also am waiting for my ct5 preorder to come.

Most of the time the knob is a pot connected directly to the pcb so if you want true analog with motorized knobs it would require making custom hardware which is out of reach for a lot of synth makers.

I soldered that scope as a first soldering project and never got it to work. The kit was cheap enough I might buy another some day and try again.

Microkorg’s default mic is one of those tiny ones like on a headset, you can get the oem one for $30 and it fits into the slot on the back

ColdPie posted:I listened to Discovery yesterday for the first time in a long while, on some streaming service. It sounded really weird to me. I think I got used to the early-2000s-era MP3 encodes that I downloaded in high school and listened to for decades, and now the high fidelity version sounds bizarre. A lot of the songs from human after all sound weird to me after seeing them live in 2007 because I’m expecting the other parts to come in.

I posted a while back about how I got the tape and microsound music machine but the output module came broken. Make Noise customer support is so good that they sent me a replacement a second time after I mistakenly mailed back the replacement instead of the broken one.

Ok Comboomer posted:Mackie’s apparently got a brand new line of multitrack USB analog mixers called ONYX, I imagine those and things like those will be the new standard. Like the Soundcraft, etc they’re aimed squarely at bedroom producers+content creators and they’ve got stuff like SD/USB recording, Bluetooth channels, etc. I had a FireWire one called onyx like a decade ago

It kind of looks like a bunch of controller sensors, like the activation one looked like it might be a light or proximity sensor. I wanted an instruo scion but they’re way too expensive, so I’m hoping it’s something along the lines of the koma field kits.

W424 posted:I got mine for cv/gate and neither worked. Gates wouldnt trigger my envelopes and cv wasn’t nowhere near calibrated (IIRC user calibration was not recommended, would change tuning when you removed the screwdriver etc). Synth itself just sounded meh. Weird because aren’t their sequencer controllers wildly popular?

Honestly if you’re looking for an electronic piano and not a synthesizer this thread is only tangentially related to those instruments
