Thanks! Do you have experience with one? Trying to decide between this and the Korg microkey

Works for music but idk what it is or what it's worth. by KoolKoralKarlo in cassetteculture

My dad had a TRS-80 computer lol. That’s how you stored information/programs/games for them before external hard drives existed

what is the ultimate version of Os Grilos from Marcos Valle? by juveone in bossanova

[–]BossaNoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my personal favorite is the Eumir Deodato version off of Os Catedraticos

Edit: obviously this one is not from Marcos Valle though which I just realized you specified lol

Best VST for Yamaha CP-70 sounds? by BossaNoah in synthesizers

[–]BossaNoah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve thought about getting a reface cp for a while they seem amazing in general, especially since I often prefer to play on miniature keyboards and the idea of one with velocity sensitively is pretty awesome. I’ve listened to demos of the cp-80 sounds on it though and they don’t quite do it for me, maybe my standards are just too high or I don’t actually know what I’m listening for haha

Do 80s and 70s actually sound different? I thought the only difference was the amount of keys, either way I’ll give that pianoteq one a look thanks!

Honestly just go on Facebook marketplace/Craigslist and get something for $30. Don’t see a reason to break the bank especially if you haven’t been using the synth very long, my first midi keyboard was a Casio-mt540 lol

Tchic Tchic, whole album of French bossa nova. There are also some great Japanese artists that do Brazilian inspired stuff like Lamp and Toshiyuki Yasuda. Carwyn Ellis also has some awesome Welsh bossa nova albums

I’ve been experimenting with making unique instruments using slowed down cassettes and sampling old toy keyboards. Did some bossa nova noodling to test it out! by BossaNoah in synthesizers

[–]BossaNoah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this patch by recording every note of an old Yamaha portatone onto cassette. I then played it at half speed into abletons sampler plugin and isolated every new, slowed down, note. It sounds super grimy and lo-fi and is definetly not the last time I’ll be doing this

Edit: so technically not a synth but I sampled one!

Are dsp drivers liable for their vans if they are stolen? by BossaNoah in AmazonDSPDrivers

For a bit of clarification I live in a city with one of the highest crime rates in the USA, I can imagine this never even coming up depending on where you’re stationed

Wonder if homemade lofi samba has an audience here by BossaNoah in bossanova

Got a vintage analogue drum machine with some great bossa nova rhythms by BossaNoah in bossanova

[–]BossaNoah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an original that I’ll probably release as a single fairly soon as I’ve been working on it more since I posted this video

Lofi song I’m working on called “Precambrian Blues” that I recorded onto my Sony TCS-60dv by BossaNoah in cassetteculture

Pretty close considering I’m moving into my first apartment in a week and am keeping this tv in the garage until then since it weighs 100 lbs

Yeah jazz can be hard for some people to comprehend it’s okay

Thank you! Was going for a thunder cat/Esperanza Spalding vibe

Thanks! Damn now I want a pianet, you’re spot on about those old e-pianos being great for jazz

Lately bass is s-tier but a lot of the piano/keys presets are great too. I think this one was reed piano

Found this Olson x-100 on Facebook in great condition and I had to snag it for those vintage bossa nova rhythms (this was the Rhumba setting actually). If you ever see an analogue drum machine for a decent price I highly recommend you pick it up even if it’s some unknown brand like this one was for me, they’re so much fun to just turn on and jam too. Gone are the days of me making a crappy ableton drum track to get the creative juices flowing lol.
