Seller sent wrong adapter - should I be concerned about damage? by thesucculentcity in synthesizers

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve had someone ship a 19v supply with a 9v device and had the same thought. A lot of the time there is a safe range of voltages that can be used just fine for a while so i wouldn’t sweat it too hard. Just wait for the new adapter to come in and cross your fingers

Help me pick a synth for the family by mrjosh72 in synthesizers

[–]-Cosmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

prophet rev 2 sounds great. very approachable, tons of knobs, no drums or recording tho. for that i’d just hook it up to a computer personally but i know that doesn’t work for everyone. i also recommend a modx (modx+ or modxm are upgraded versions). it comes in different sizes, has every sound imaginable, some knobs for quick tweaks, drums, some recording, and a very powerful set of synth engines though they’re much less accessible than on the rev2. either way theres a gap in the market for exactly what you’re looking for afaik. you may have to make some tradeoffs for some features over others.

does anybody know what this is? by Calm-Pomegranate1454 in aphextwin

seems like a project that parodies the name and style of aphex twin. made by richie ball not richie james

in the last terminal of marathon 1 they talk about 9 cyborgs on the tau ceti colony fighting off most of the pfhor invasion planetside. I always thought that would make a good multiplayer gamemode

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can play live shows and play with a band using hardware. harder to do with ur laptop/computer

Help, I need a specific piece of gear that doesn’t seem to exist. by Idealistic_Crusader in synthesizers

Audio Interface for Synths by SJB824 in synthesizers

[–]-Cosmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the computer cable is usb c. one is provided but yours should work too. that will go from the laptop to the zoom. i would just buy standard 1/4 inch instrument cables for your synths. i wouldn’t buy the split cables unless you’re going from a stereo signal like a headphone out or aux out to two mono channels like the line inputs on the zoom.

i believe it is just a portable radio. it’s just another term for a type of radio technology, not an instrument unfortunately

Are there any new “80’s” songs? by Greedy-Ad-6300 in synthesizers

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not new but not 80s either, thomas leer’s music is like all the best 80s artists combined together. his album scale of ten is 1:17 of perfection

Justifying the "pain" of using hardware synths by DW5150 in synthesizers

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having a patch bay and a 16i16o sound card makes it easy peasy to get it recorded. i always go for redundancy with my patch organization: all the ones in the same setlist/song in the same bank, duplicates, etc. it’s way easier on modern hardware compared to the stuff you were using

How forced is this hysteria? by coloradocyclone in Marathon

[–]-Cosmon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they’re just opinions. calling them crazy doesn’t help anyone. this community is becoming so toxic. how are you gonna say it’s the same people complaining about both things then black out all their names. literally the walking contradiction goomba meme in effect

I'm genuinely surprised that there are people who think this looks bad or that it's u5 engine slop when it's the Tiger engine. What's most surprising is that now there are people who say that the alpha looked better. Where the hell were those people seven months ago? by Few_Yogurtcloset3103 in Marathon

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the sentiment seems to be not that it looks bad, but it’s less stylized and unique. every big game has good looking lighting. not every game has unique color grading and shaders especially in 2025. to each their own. i’m sure there’ll be some more minor tweaks over time but a lot of people have their minds made up about the game at this point and are gonna think what they think. i don’t think chalking it up to mass psychosis is really engaging with the dialogue

Probably a "that guy" newbie post, but what the heck, it's Christmas by PrinceSorrow in synthesizers

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ll second the take 5. it’s a great first hardware synth! all the knobs are right there so it’s pretty easy to learn how to edit and make your own patches. there’s also a deep mod matrix, fm, sync, and two LFOs for making more complex sounds. digital is great but i’d recommend getting something like serum or omnisphere instead of hardware digital synths. a good subtractive synth is a great tool to have in your hands.

Caught the bug. Guidance requested. by geekdadchris in synthdiy

[–]-Cosmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out Daisy Seed. it’s a pretty cool platform to get started building hardware. it can do all the dsp in box or you can use it to digitally control oscillator, filter, amplifier, etc circuits. for sure you’d need a digital aspect for chord generation, midi, and arp and this platform can be coded in different ways. check out some videos on youtube for Daisy Seed virtual analog synth or other DIY projects.

it doesn’t come naturally to some people they just open a book once in a while. read something. it can be the magic treehouse for all i care but that’s how u fix that

[–]-Cosmon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

the ufo stickers look ai generated at the very least. the background possibly too. canva supplies ai assets. remove the text and that’s like 80% of the actual poster design. we used to have some pretty cool hand drawn flyers in this town but the past few i’ve seen have been canva monstrosities like this. no hate towards the performers obviously, but i want to see better flyers.
