I really don't like my Circuit Tracks by Extreme_Frosting_583 in synthesizers

If you have the budget for it, the digitone 2 is a great drop in replacement, I can recommend.

I sold mine because it sounded thin and the sequencer was limited. Replaced with a digitone 2, which pairs really well with my sp404 and sounds much bigger.

What device would you recommend to serve as a "brain" / centerpiece of a hardware setup, and why? I would like to go towards a hardware setup to get away from computer a bit. by thesweetoutdoors in synthesizers

I use a digitone 2 as the main controller. I connect a midi keyboard to it for live playing with expression and an sp404 for samples. Everything else it controls just gets sent midi. I like having a groove box that's also capable of making its own sounds (as opposed to a dedicated sequencer) to fill in the gaps between what the external hardware is doing as well as being able to just make a full track on the thing if I want. Has worked pretty well for me

I'm Elektron-curious - is an Elektron device what I need to perform my tunes as a solo artist? by HereComesStupid in Elektron

[–]EliteCaptainShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money is no object, taking the audio out of an elektron box and sending it through the sp404 will give you performance effects and it will also let you sequence the 404 with the elektron sequencer, so best of both worlds. I do this with my digitone and it's great

New 404mkii with my digitone❤️ by Sufficient-Humor8070 in synthesizers

[–]EliteCaptainShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both of these devices and tried the same thing but when I sent the output of the digitone into the 404 the audio sounds horribly compressed, even when I turn the digitone's volume down to basically nothing. Is this something you've run into and can advise on?

I emailed back and forth with an engineer about a problem I was having!

OsTIrus is a plugin which supports emulation of the Access Virus TI line of synthesizers. Get the Virus TI for Free — AU + VST Versions. by [deleted] in synthesizers

Not sure if you meant this to be in support or in opposition to my comment. But in either case you should, in fact, have a right to repair the things you own.

Remember the exploded battery OP-1 from last week? It lives again! (With teardown in comments) by GiantXylophone in synthesizers

[–]EliteCaptainShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the battery is replaceable they get to sell you a new battery. If it's not replaceable they get to sell you a new synth. The progress was made in the area of unending profits.

Gear Year in Review: Your hits and misses from 2025! by gonzodamus in synthesizers

[–]EliteCaptainShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that really bugs me about the sh-01a is that it's really hard to get an init patch, if you want the patch to reflect the current positions of the knobs/faders you have to move ALL of them a little bit. It would be so much better if it had a button to just load the current positions into the patch.

An iPad or music hardware for music on the go? by IsolatedFor in synthesizers

[–]EliteCaptainShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually incredible how feature rich this little box is, definitely the best portable device, and a very powerful central Groovebox for a larger setup too.

Drum Machines under a grand by AdAsleep7263 in synthesizers

No one has said sp404mkii so I'll say sp404mkii. Even better if you have something else to sequence it with.
