renderful posted:I think that is honestly a very weird metric. What percentage of guitars do you think are used to make a track? 1%? Less? Making and recording tracks is certainly not the pinnacle of music. (totally not arguing, even though this posts reads as aggressive It's not a super fleshed-out idea... I'm mostly thinking of the common advice to pick one thing and learn it really well, as compared with the common marketing theme of "push button on new $$thing$$ to make awesome!" It would be great to have a sort of objective measure of "to what extent is this a toy?" that would be comprehensible to newbies, as opposed to me just guessing whose judgment to trust from a position of almost complete ignorance. FLX posted:I'm pushing those numbers up! Give me one of them BEAMZ and I'll do ... something with it! Here's my weekly track, in which I mangle some analog sounds and then add a pinch of ROMpler brass to sweeten it up again just a little: Wanted to import this to the new thread both for exposure and to reply to it. I think it's worth finding another way to do whatever the hell BEAMZ actually does, like writing a script for a theremin-style MIDI controller or something, just to spite the "Music is so easy anybody can do it! Give us your money and suddenly become awesome!" marketing bullshit.

Your Computer posted:Is an MC-505 with a couple of "stripes" (probably dead pixels) in the display worth 330$? I wouldn't assume that stripes and dead pixels are similar issues. When I used to fix graphing calculators in high school, dead pixels were permanent and internal to the LCD assembly, but stripes could usually be fixed by re-seating the connector between the LCD assembly and the main board. I don't know how much of that translates from graphing calculators to the MC-505 obviously, but it's a data point for you to consider.

Perhaps a dumb question, but how does one say "moogerfooger"? "Moog" is like "mow" as in "mow the lawn" except with a "g" on the end, so I kind of want to say "MOW grr FOE grr" ("foe" as in "enemy"), but I also kind of want to rhyme it with "booger booger" because that makes it sound more like "motherfucker".

WorldWarWonderful posted:Op1 update is out! Looking forward to sequencing my stuff with the sketch sequencer. I'm starting to think it's inevitable that I'll get one of these eventually. They're just cooler and cooler the more I learn about them. But not until I find a job, because of how expensive they are.

renderful posted:effects hosted inside the reverb tank of the verb I'm not sure I understand what this means. Is it an effect on the wet signal, prior to the dry/wet knob in the reverb's interface?

treasureplane posted:Yeah, that seems to be the consensus about this thing. I guess I can't wrap my head around people privileging a novel workflow over the actual sound you hear when you close your eyes. The sound in that video reminded me of my old entry-level Casio. Cuckoo in particular likes square waves and old video games, but not every sound that comes out of the OP-1 is like that, I don't think. Some of the functions definitely look like toys (note tumbler, I'm looking at you), but with other ones, it seems like they did a simple thing well instead of a complicated thing just ok, and it's easy to see the appeal there. I think the analogy from earlier to Apple products is apt. Simple user interfaces are generally better, but it always stings a little to lose any particular function or particular possible workflow. ejstheman fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Mar 31, 2014 |

net work error posted:I made a song today! You still could! Don't make it perfect; make it NOW! Practice practice practice. ejstheman posted:I can't wait to see what people do with the synth LittleBits once they've been out for a minute. OH MY GOD I just saw on facebook that a friend of a friend is getting these and I can't wait to nag the poo poo out of him through our mutual friend until he lets me try them hahahahaha Reggie Watts did a demo video, but he didn't use the littlebits a ton in the part I watched; his performance seemed to feature his looper a lot more, and he just used the littlebits to make this one weird feedback noise that he sampled at the beginning. ejstheman fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Apr 1, 2014 |

A MIRACLE posted:I'm pretty happy with my Volca Beats for the time being. It takes a few minutes to set the levels but the bass is pretty nice. I don't really get the complaints about the snare. Have you heard A/B with the stock snare and the snare from a modded Volcabeats? It really is much better, at least if you believe people with soldering irons on YouTube. The stock sound is clipped or something.
