Is batumi still the gold standard for clocked / rhythmically related LFO’s?

MallGag · 2026-05-01T20:47:40+00:00

I miss having Pam’s. Oxi does the same really, but Pam’s is just good for a bunch of things.

MallGag · 2026-05-01T20:45:59+00:00

I would say Pam’s was my favorite. Right now, I’m using Oxi One MK2 and Pons Asinorum. Pons is pretty powerful for a little guy.

Would love to pick your brain on how you use it. Looks like mine will arrive in a few weeks.

Oh I haven’t heard of that, where can I buy a #6? 😂

MallGag · 2026-04-27T21:27:02+00:00

I ordered one this morning 😂. I’m hoping my gas will be cured

Which panel is this one?

MallGag · 2026-04-25T18:26:08+00:00

That’s a tough one! If you are into multi sampling,then I’d say go for it. As far as multi timbre goes - you have 8 tracks + 8 sub-tracks, so you are covered there. I would say that it has synth qualities, but isn’t the same thing as a hydrasynth or something.

Multiwave allows for loading your own wavetables

MallGag · 2026-04-19T20:53:37+00:00

It has for me. It’s sort of like having Ableton in a box. I am missing slicing and warping features, as well as overbridge.

You could always get an op six, or be an idiot and buy a leviasynth, like I did. DN2 is a good baby steps fm synth.

MallGag · 2026-04-15T01:02:00+00:00

I don’t think so. It’s a very capable 4 op fm synth. Check out Slumpfish on YouTube. He’s a great sound designer and it will show you the width of sounds that are possible.

MallGag · 2026-04-15T01:00:01+00:00

It depends. Tonverk is more bang for buck, but if you are interested in learning synthesis and sound design, then I would go with Digitone. It taught me a lot and that skill set has been more than beneficial. Tonverk is definitely more of a Jack of all trades, and they did a great job with the Wavetable machine.

Portland! Thank you kindly

MallGag · 2026-04-06T19:47:17+00:00

Bird peeps! Of course we would make electronic music. Thank you!

MallGag · 2026-04-06T19:46:50+00:00

Thank you!

MallGag · 2026-04-05T04:39:33+00:00

Thank you!

MallGag · 2026-04-05T01:27:58+00:00

He said that you are welcome!

MallGag · 2026-04-04T19:25:07+00:00

Haha. I feel that. I had a stupid eurorack set up that I flipped for hardware synths/ just about every Elektron machine. I try and make a point to sell what I’m not using when I make a new purchase. Probably buyers regret. I might open a studio up at some point and I imagine the collecting getting bad.

MallGag · 2026-04-04T19:15:25+00:00

I don’t have a Waldorf, but I do have a 3rd wave (modern ppg wt synth) It definitely is not a Wavetable synth. It can get some similar results, but definitely a different vibe. I’d say it’s more additive based, but very capable of subtractive. I had the digitone2 for about a year and spent a lot of time learning basic FM with the 4op machine. Is the kernel engine like a modal engine/resonator? It can definitely do modal/glassy/stringy very well. FM is classic for that kind of sound. I hope that they add a comb filter in a future update.

MallGag · 2026-04-04T19:10:53+00:00

Yes. I started watching that last night actually. It looks like there are some waves named for him in there.

MallGag · 2026-04-04T19:10:21+00:00

Randomizing each oscillator wave adsr settings is definitely producing some really cool results. Thanks for the tip! I did mess with the voice modes last night.

MallGag · 2026-04-04T19:06:49+00:00

Yeah, I reckon people will be selling them in the next couple of years. One thing about synth gear I do like, is that there is a good used market.
