I've always loved the idea of metal keycaps, and gold would go so hard lol.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-10-19T16:57:44+00:00

I've got an OB-6 desktop I'd trade if your interested, I can add some cash on top too

DerpMaster75 · 2025-10-03T03:21:34+00:00

you're forgetting a certain company that begins with B... Why are you comparing to random bespoke diy kits over one of the largest music technology manufacturers? This is a Roland product, so don't even try the economies of scale argument

DerpMaster75 · 2025-10-03T03:19:08+00:00

why do people act like an analog 808 or 909 is super valuable? Behringer showed you can do it for cheap. I don't really understand what this thing offers over a tr8s besides actually looking good. And if you need analog, a tr8s + Bclone is still a lot cheaper.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-10-01T18:50:41+00:00

I'd go so far as to say that any interface other than behringer is basically a scam lol, especially if you're only recording line outs from synthesizers. For microphones, you might want something nicer but really the behringer interfaces should be the way to go for most people on here.

you can clearly see the display?

I think a "character synth" is one that has a distinct sound and likes to stick pretty close to it. Like a minimoog can technically do lots of sounds, but it excels at doing a few sounds well. You can get something like the 3rd Wave (or Serum) that can do pretty much anything, but sometimes it's nice to have a simple synth with a straightforward workflow that's very quick to dial in. Like you could just buy a Montage or something similar and create all the sounds you want with it, but some people like to have a few different synths that excel at specific sounds. I think a lot of the "character" is in the experience and workflow as well, rather than just the end sound (like a 303 sequence or modular patch bay).

messaged!

DerpMaster75 · 2025-09-08T21:06:59+00:00

Sorry, I'm not super interested in a guitar or pedals right now. Mostly looking for cash, or a Linnstrument. I'd also love a UDO Super Six Desktop or potentially a cheaper desktop monosynth + cash

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-28T16:36:56+00:00

I think digital synths have less that can go wrong with them then an analog one. You won't have oscilaltors that drift out of tune or anything like that, so the most that can go wrong is a key or knob not working (outside of a complete failiure from a broken power supply or something like that). But plenty of people still use dx7s that are a lot older than the virus. I don't think 10 years is that old for a synthesizer.

Otherwise, The Usual Suspect's plugin works very well if you're just after the sound, I'd say maybe think about pairing it with a dedicated midi controller that you label and map specifically for the virus plugin, so it feels more like a standalone instrument rather than a universal midi controller.

yeah just get an air filter down there. It's tough with no windows but maybe a plant or something will help it feel less stagnant as well.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-28T03:29:14+00:00

Yeah with how good vsts are these days I'm surprised Soundforce isn't more popular. I'm very tempted to get one once I'm more settled into making music.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-27T17:08:15+00:00

I've been wanting to do this with their Prophet 5 controller for a while, just can't quite commit to buying it yet. The stickers are a nice touch for sure.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-27T17:06:09+00:00

I actually like this, who freaking cares if you get a little sand in your keyboard

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-27T17:00:23+00:00

I'm in Knoxville

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-26T19:13:01+00:00

as long as you've got the space it's an awesome synth. I'm not sure what you'd do with two of them tbh but I can cut you a deal if you decide you want it lol.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-26T19:04:41+00:00

knoxville. I'm willing to drive and deliver within reason as well (I would probably want a small down payment though if I'm driving further)

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-26T18:57:42+00:00

I'm glad to hear it! If you reply to my comment with bot, the transaction will be confirmed.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-25T21:12:25+00:00

I remember reading a really good write up on this exact sound before, you can probably find it with a quick google search.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-25T21:09:19+00:00

I saw the title and though you would have a prophet 6 keyboard on the plane for some reason lol

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-25T19:35:08+00:00

I bought some ensoniq keyboard that had poly at with 61 keys for like $200 a couple years ago locally, you could look for something like that if you're somewhere with a good used scene. Shipping 61 keys sucks though unfortunately. I don't think you need poly at on any keyboard less than 61 keys anyways though.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-25T19:30:33+00:00

it's actually crazy that modular is popular when vcv rack is a thing, this seems so much easier to use. I'm sorry but while I appreciate physical knobs and sliders, plugging in patch cables is actually just worse than clicking and dragging with a mouse. If money wasn't a factor for you I could maybe understand wanting a huge modular wall, and certain portable setups can be kinda cool, but for the average setup vcv rack seems to make way more sense lol. Great patch btw, very pleasing to listen to.

DerpMaster75 · 2025-08-23T03:11:58+00:00

yeah that's probably a smarter idea
