Synthesizers

[Shred Durst]

i have a few wiard and flight of harmony eurorack modules
i really wanna get a bugbrand system together though, so i might sell the euros
my bro just got a few makenoise maths modules which are SICK

Man, that bugbrand shit is killer but if I ever decide to go to the way of the banana-jack it's gonna be Serge all day.

cool shit Durst, how do you like the axxe?

It's pretty great but I feel like I might ditch it for an SH-101 sometime soon. This one has the Moog filter clone that almost got ARP sued, which sounds fantastic and I just realized the other day can be CV controlled with the "pedal" input on the back. My only complaint is that the noise source bleeds into the VCA, so even when it's all the way down at the mixer there's still a really quiet retro high-hat, gated white noise sound when you hit a key. Apparently it's a really easy fix though.

More Moog = More good

I still feel this way. Analog synths are the best.
Luv.

two r2rs and a tape 4track probably equals some wasted awesome equipment

Left reel to reel is hi-fi as shit and gets used for analog mixdowns and slowing things down. Middle r2r is a piece of shit and gets used for loops and making things sound filthy. 4-track is just kinda there and gets used as a mixer sometimes. Do most of my recording in Logic Pro.

I was just concerned you're just making drone noise loops or some similar shit.

I suppose it's time to bite the bullet and get around to buying some speakers for my synths. Any recommendations? Do I need a PA unit to hook both of them up through the same speakers/is this even advisable? I want to run them both in stereo fyi. Forgive my massive ignorance on this subject.

[tth]

you can just get a crappy keyboard amp and expect to have a pa if you play shows or anything

I use:
Crown XLS 402D

a pair of Peavey peavey pr-15s


I'm happy with it -- in the long run I'd like to get a sub as well since the bass is the only thing vaguely lacking with this set-up. I could probably step up to a slightly more powerful amp to avoid clipping when I run it loud. I play a lot more house shows than club gigs, so relying on other folks for amplification really sucks. Playing synths through borrowed guitar amps sounds maximally shitty.

[Shred Durst]

Also, these are actually really fucking loud and have a ton of bass. Used to use one with all the highs rolled off as a sub for my system for house shows at my place. Super heavy though, kind of never want to look at it again after hauling one around on tour.

just picked up an alpha juno 1 in awesome shape for $100.

sadly i'm more stoked about this:


i gave up on trying to find a decent sampling synth until i can afford a nord wave or something. i know it'll be really lame to have a midi controller running an ipod touch, but i figure i'll just bury it in the foam of a road case.

My Yamaha DX7-II should be arriving today. Pretty excited to get back in the synth game, since the dude repairing my Juno is now on his 8th month of "working on it". Granted, repairs are like his third job, but I expect a bit more haste than that. At least the thing should sound flawless when it's done.

As far as MIDI sequencing goes, any recommended programs? It's the first MIDI synth I've had.

[fresh salad]

ARE YOU FUCKING Serious?
Fuck man, I am so sorry I steered you to him...

[fresh salad]

On a brighter note, I got this offa Craigslist for 150$...

[Ankh]

the delta is sweet, one of my favorites. total score at $150 too

[fresh salad]

It's rusty and dirty, and one pot is broken (it's not the one in the pic) but it sounds TITS

[Eugenics]

aw, cool. ive never played with one of those myself, but you cant go wrong with old korg stuff. 150 bucks is a great deal. ill buy any old synth in working order for a buck fiddy all day every day

[Milquetoaster Strudels]

Daaamn that is a sweet synth.

No biggie on that one, fresh. He actually texted me a minute ago and offered to lend me his Jupiter 4 while he finishes up work on the Juno.

[Eugenics]

the VCF on the ms10s and 20s are fucking magical. yours doesnt say lowpass, but its right there in the middle and im guessing its the same circuitry as those. GRINDINNNN

[fresh salad]

@ MS- that's cool, take that fucking thing...
Yeah, I LOVE the Old Korg stuff, I have a Mono/Poly too

[bengood]

just bought an MS-10, i can basically stand in front of it and play with the filter for hours and i'm entertained

[bengood]

has anyone used the vermona drm 1 mkiii?

[prince polo]

got a motif 6 for 300 bucks to play with. feelin alright.

[Eugenics]

that vermona is sick, but you need an external sequencer unless you wanna press the buttons and 'play it live'
but still it sounds fucking incredible. look for a video where a dude triggers it with a monomachine

[HOT JON]

does anyone go to UT / have access to this stuff

[fresh salad]

Just picked this up off of Craigslist...

[Ankh]

[Eugenics]

this lil dude is finally ready. if it were 400 i would pick one up, but 800 seems a bit too steep for what it is. its still rad though.

[fresh salad]

wouldn't pay $100 for that
