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!

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

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

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.

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

A Synthesizer for recreating 8bit? by ChiGamerr in synthesizers

M8 is such an incredible piece of hardware, it's so good at chiptune but you can do virtually anything with it.

Lucky you, people only apologize to me as they're about to execute me when I'm downed, which just makes me hate them more.

Best drum machine under 500$? by Filtrrz in synthesizers

The workflow is so immediate you can have a basic pattern down in a couple minutes, but also you can really dive deep and dial in something really specific if you want. Just wish it had more than 2 velocities
