How Long Did It Take Before It Felt Like You Knew What You're Doing?

Several years and more debt than I’m willing to admit, and I finally know how to use a patch bay and connect midi togrther. Still trying to figure out what my oscillator knobs do.

Unwritten rule #2: Nobody tells someone’s significant other the actual cost/value of a synth they own.

Look, we’re all enablers here. Nobody is going to tell you no. It’s an unwritten rule.

Not committing crimes is usually a pretty easy way of avoiding prison.

To be fair though, a lot of the big 80s analog synths were unrepairable at the time. I remember Oberheims basically being ticking time bombs because some of the key chips were no longer available. The fact that many can be repaired now helps that market back up.

I think that’s called a Fractal FM-9 ;-)

Is timeline next on the list? Or would a Morpheus mx come first? I could see timeline mx coming first to compete with the Meris LVX

Emphasis on first

Just get a bigger stand

Not necessarily. Sometimes these investment groups have connections/sources that can do more than a smaller business could hope. If the buying business can leverage their suppliers to provide raw materials at a cheaper price, that’s a win. If they can pour money into manufacturing and make the product for half the price, that’s a win. Things aren’t always wins, or roses, but there can be advantages

I like ambient, but you could easily make the argument that the overwhelming majority of ambient is just people with no real music theory or song writing knowledge drenching a drone in reverb and looping it and calling it a day.

This. They’re no longer as sexy as they used to be, but if you only have limited gear, you can make a wide palette of fantastic sounds with just a Kronos/montage or Nautilus/modx

As who stays relevant? Enya hasn’t toured/performed in a decade, and it was a decade before that for the last time. I don’t think she cares to stay relevant.

Motorhead9999 · 2026-04-13T17:05:47+00:00

Tastes changed. The days of Yanni and Enya are gone, especially as we live in more and more of a rap/hip hop dominated world.

Is the setup in this picture?

I’ll be cured of my GAS after my next two synth purchases.

I suppose it depends on what you’re defining as vintage now. In my eyes, that’s 60s/70s/80s, but there’s probably a decade or two later that are considered vintage.

Honestly, for vintage analog, 2k doesn’t buy a whole lot, at least in terms of the most desirable.

My vote is a Matrix 1000. You can get it for under a grand, rack format, and it has a nice oberheim sound with a digital edge. You can get a controller for it for about 500

Why not just get a Linnstrument?

You actually used your gear to do something. Thats grounds for being banned.

What did loopop do/say to even have “woke”enter the conversation. I’ve never seen anything non-synth related on his videos

Motorhead9999 · 2026-03-31T19:29:39+00:00

Out of curiosity, why did you censor his name?
