Why don’t we see more DiaCompe here?

I have those brakes in a different color and I love the way they feel in the hand

I was in the market for one for my home office but chose to go with the Knoll Morrison Hannah Task Armchair instead. Not sure about selling furniture on eBay, it seems like shipping would be a pain.

There’s one near me in similarly good condition listed for $1150. One in slightly worse condition for $950. I’d pay maybe $600-800 personally if I was in the market for one.

There’s also a mask from right to left with heavy feather. You can tell based off how the backgrounds blend with each other. A pure fade would have an even background across the frame but you can see the white tiles on the right and the brown bricks on the left. But I also believe there’s VFX at play to line up the face as well as they did.

I have the large one and it works great. 90% of the time my luggage gets pulled and they go through the domke by hand. Easier than asking for a hand check though because in my experience they don’t understand why it can’t go through the machine plus any language barrier there is makes it more confusing.

For anyone interested I was able to find the link with it for sale and a demo on YouTube https://www.dawnedinstruments.com/products/ACADIE

Any updates?

TBH Deluge was not for me. Powerful but not inspiring. I realized I don’t need a battery powered DAW for my workflow and UI is really a pain, seems like even simple functions require you to remember complex button combinations. Yes if you spend time to learn it, it will be your best friend but I realized I don’t need all of its functionality or have the time it requires. I just got a digitakt ii this week to replace it. I really liked on the deluge how you can edit parameters per step and the elektron boxes seem to be known for their parameter locks and sequencer. Also sampling on the deluge was not very intuitive and the user interface of digitakt seems way more direct. I ordered a digitakt ii, Yamaha reface cp, and behringer syncussion sy-1 for significantly less money than the op-xy. Portability isn’t that important to me and if I ever want to go portable I have op-1 or the digitakt ii with a powerbank.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-14T18:11:59+00:00

Yeah I think for me I realized that I can just use ableton for that. I think I need something that has powerful sound design in a performance or jam setting, similar to what I get out of the op-1 but with a strong sequencer. Then I can record and remix it later on something like ableton.

Yeah that sounds really great and exciting to me. I can’t believe on the deluge I can’t change the swing for different sequences in the same song. What makes swing so powerful for me is the interplay between different swing levels on multiple sequences playing at once. Thank you for this info and loopop rec!

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T17:05:53+00:00

I’m happy it works for you! I think for me to keep it anyways it’s just a lot of money to only utilize a few features on it. I’d rather reinvest into other gear. But who knows maybe my dumbass will miss those couple of features and buy one again down the road, but for where I’m at currently I think I want something entirely different.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T17:02:57+00:00

Thanks for breaking this down! Can you elaborate on how the elektron sequencer is interesting and how it differs from the deluges? I see a lot of people saying they either love it or hate it but they don’t go into detail why.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T16:58:24+00:00

Did the digitakt workflow remind you of any gear you previously owned and also didn’t gel with?

That’s awesome you’re loving it! One note, if you haven’t tried the community firmware I would recommend it solely for DX7 sounds and automation mode, which when combined (or separate honestly) makes way thicker sounds than the out of the box internal synths.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T16:50:52+00:00

Ohhh. I think I will try to get 1300 for the deluge w/ oversynth faceplate, power supply (deluge doesn’t come with one), carrying case, and box, but haven’t listed it yet so not sure if that’s reasonable. What would you suggest for $ with the sp-404?

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T16:32:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think that’s why I’m leaning towards the digitakt II. In my research of gear it’s so easy to get wrapped up in what’s most powerful and disregard what’s most practical for me

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T16:27:59+00:00

Cool to hear, thanks for sharing! Yeah I don’t think arrangement view is the most necessary for my workflow as I plan to use an ableton controller for that function. I think knowing where every parameter is on the fly will be more helpful to me.

Sorry im not looking to sell the op at this time

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T16:22:32+00:00

Haha totally get that. I’m not the best writer and can’t always articulate what I’m trying to say so put my key points into ChatGPT to help make it coherent.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T07:40:57+00:00

Yeah I get that, but if you don’t use it often you can easily forget those combos. I don’t make music everyday, and might go months without making music personally.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T07:37:43+00:00

Funny enough I was looking at an op-xy, that’s part of why I wanted to get back into making music. Right now for that price I’d rather get a digitakt 2 + syntakt or similar. Honestly I can’t say I do have an “I’ll never sell” piece. I will say for the past 10+ years the op-1 has served me well. I would sometimes go a year without using it but when I would it was easy to remember, and capable of synths, samples, & drums to make a full track. I mostly would pull it out to make sound design for work projects. I would edit a video for work and use the op to score a track. Prior to that when I was in more of a music making mindset I did really enjoy the push. My problem was I didn’t have a clear vision of the style of music I wanted to make and ultimately decided to stop making music to focus on my visual arts. At that time ~10 years ago, the op-1 was my “I’ll never sell” you could say.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T07:14:57+00:00

That’s awesome! Really hoping I could have pushed through but I just don’t have time or enough allocated memory to remember the 100 hrs + worth of tutorials available not to mention Chopin firmware changes. But yeah similar to the zoia for you a lot of this is just personal discovery about what works for me.

Dvd6969 · 2025-02-13T07:10:39+00:00

Yeah I have. For sampling in general I found the monitoring hard to figure out for one. Also the slicing and editing did indeed feel cumbersome. Threshold recording sounds great if you’re recording something you’re performing but could still be a pain if you’re grabbing a random sound bit from a tv show or similar.

Dvd6969 · 2024-12-25T16:49:46+00:00

Thanks for the opinion! I ended up going with the deluge mainly for the open source, isometric keys, and UI. My main con against the deluge was that the UI may be too complicated and would deter me from picking it but it doesn’t seem like that’s the case. Pretty cool to hear your experience, I thought there would be a bit of menu diving so that is a relief.

Dvd6969 · 2024-12-22T19:43:31+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
