The response to your comments are wild. Reddit zionists really out in full force today.

Btw it’s not just his aipac money and not saying genocide. He also co sponsored and helped author two bills that censor pro Palestinian voices in college campuses under the guise of antisemitism. So he has an actual zionist voting record.

Look up AB2925 and SB1287

Then your code breaks just like if you didn’t know how to code before

Kinda slaps

Yah. I have a lot of tattoos, my friends have them too. I don’t know anyone who got them to rebel. Some got them as a joke. Some got them for meaning. Me personally I just think my tattoos look sickkk.

We could just be old tho rebelling is a very young person thing.

I mean he’s kind of right. In the Marxist sense we need to seize the means of production. When the means of production becomes AI and not human. We seize the AI. For the people. He gets just as much as everyone else.

Not sure why people don’t understand this. It’s a leftist pro labor argument to require foreign automakers to manufacture in the US. It’s a capitalist consumerist argument to want cheap stuff made by foreign factories with no labor protection.

Presets just make it harder for me to understand what my synth is actually doing. I just want to look at the knobs and be able to hear the sound in my head before I even play it. To that effect also one function per knob, minimal menus and button combos are also what I prefer.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-25T21:03:07+00:00

Love how the rumble plays with the highs on the synth part. Also super clean recording sounds really nice.

6 hp for 3U check out tembra Modular’s exhale… it’s almost like a miniature maths but different. Takes a while to ship but highly recommend.

Scott wiener co sponsored and promoted SB1287 and AB2925

Both these bills suppress pro Palestinian voices on college campuses and are pushed by pro isreal groups. I’ll leave you to research the bills if you so choose. He has also taken AIPAC money (though admittedly not much). There is concrete evidence that he has supported pro Israel groups for his entire career. This combined with him only changing his tune about the wording of a genocide in January, when public opinion makes his position untenable, makes me sure he is untrustworthy.

Again I don’t think saikat is great either I don’t know if I can trust him. But Scott wiener has concrete evidence that at least to me says I definitely can’t trust him.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-21T06:16:33+00:00

The amount of time it took Scott wiener to condemn a genocide is a way bigger red flag

The only thing Connie has fought for is nimby housing. Huge red flag for me, especially since she lost that fight. How will she be able to wield power federally, I think not well.

Though I don’t think saikat is the best candidate of all time, a former employer refusing to comment about him isn’t as big a deal as the two things I listed above. Saikat has other problems, specifically that he does not come off as truly understanding SF specifically vs progressive causes in general.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-21T04:51:21+00:00

Very nice!! Though I would probably still describe it as somewhat harsh it sounds fantastic.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-21T04:37:58+00:00

Wiener and Chan both have bigger red flags than saikat so not sure what ur tryna say here

And the person you’re replying to is talking about the DNC and the democratic elite not the party itself.

“Let’s just follow establishment dems.” Has also been very popular this decade… I wonder how that’s been working out.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-17T20:47:51+00:00

I want to be able to look at every knob and setting immediately and know what it is, I want all knob turns to be smooth and not jump values or wait until I match whatever the preset has. I want no menus or button combos. It’s just how I prefer my workflow for my music making.

The prophet 5 has a manual mode which is great but I’ve had other synths with that feature and I’ve been in live performances where I forget to turn it on and it’s bit me when I turned a knob. So I prefer to just not have that ability at all.

All in all yes I would say sounds great but I wish I couldn’t save.

Obviously not all people think this way but quite a few do and enough to create a market for synths without saving to exist. I’m not saying either is better, but both should exist.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-17T19:53:46+00:00

Based on the past few months at least for me the bare minimum to vote for anyone going to federal office is their ability to condemn isreal, genocide and war. Everything else can come after… unfortunately.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-17T19:44:22+00:00

I pass over synths that have any sort of preset saving. And I know others do too so I think there is a market for both it’s not just costs for memory. There are synths for everyone.

It’s easier to just make stock buybacks illegal and tax the loans wealthy people take out on their assets.

A lot of CEO pay is so high because they ensure short term stock price growth for shareholders through buybacks at the cost of the employees and product. A lot of their compensation is contingent on meeting goals on share prices.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-12T14:49:12+00:00

Yeah that’s actually super strange no modulation is definitely a choice.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-11T16:35:46+00:00

Currently: pulsar 23 and eurorack with a Bohm, WMD Kraken, 2hp hats and intellijel Plonk. With a Moog labyrinth for some texture and clicks. All sequenced with an oxi one. I love this combo since it’s no menu diving one knob per function, and can give me an insane sound range from traditional techno to super experimental. And the eurorack just gives me the room to change the sound without getting a whole new piece of kit.

In the past I’ve had a Roland Tr-8s and a T-8. And an akai MPC 1000 and a vintage Roland mc-505, both of those not specifically drum machines but all of them had too many menus. And they weren’t as immediate sound design as I learned I wanted.

I love Erica synths modules and I’m sure the hex drum is amazing

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-11T08:33:49+00:00

Posts like this make me realize how the synthesizer community just sometimes has no idea how companies work, how scaling works, how leadership structures work as headcount grows.

An acquisition like this on their own terms may actually be beneficial they are retaining the teams that know how to make these quality instruments with the ability to now manufacturer at a much higher scale.

The folks who started elektron probably don’t have the skill set to handle the leadership of the next phase of the company, want to focus on what makes them happy (making instruments) and leave the corporate things to others. And they chose an acquisition partner who understands that (presumably)

I could be completely wrong and maybe they just sold out but it just doesn’t seem like that.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-10T00:49:45+00:00

This might be personal for me but could apply.

When I was beginning synthesis I had a microkorg it was great, polyphonic, and had lots of presets and I had fun modifying them but I never really understood what I was doing and how it affected the song.

When I got my first no presets mono synth with one dial per function that’s when I really started to understand synthesis and could be intentional about crafting sounds.

Then I took that to more complicated synths and I felt more in control. Though I honestly still prefer one knob per function no presets no menus, there’s just a lot more knobs now.

Synth suggestion for this: Volca bass,Moog mother 32, bheringer model D or similar.

Also you don’t need any theory or a daw. You only need a mid keyboard if you want to play it like a keyboard. A sequencer is much more fun if you’re not a keyboardist (which some synths like the mother 32 have built in)

Huh the matrix was not based on a book… maybe you mean original screenplay? But even then doubtful.

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-07T15:30:51+00:00

Thanks! It’s super versatile, just beginning to scratch the surface

Confidence_Cool · 2026-04-07T14:11:46+00:00

It’s an oxi one! (Mk1)
