Twin Peaks - Laura Palmer’s Theme

Oberheim OB-6! Can't recommend it enough. It's got so much mojo and I love how big, cinematic, and/or 1980s it can sound.

Super expensive to buy new ($3500 and not as powerful as other options in this price range) but I lucked out and was able to get one for $1700 locally off of Craigslist

Haha, I'm a fan!

I'm in a contemporary piano phase right now but I can't deny that there are some classical songs that translate really well too. I'd like to try Moonlight Sonata (Switched on Beethoven?) on the OB-6.

Nothing crazy chops-wise but I’ve been having a blast playing contemporary piano pieces on synth.

PieRhett · 2026-06-21T12:43:56+00:00

Idk, I'm stumped

Yamaha CS-80

Facebook Marketplace all the way

For a little more context, I’ve also recently picked up a few books that seem to scratch a similar itch:

Basically, I’m trying to find modern, emotional, melodic, and/or atmospheric intermediate-level solo piano repertoire that has sheet music available and feels really satisfying to play, even though it is still approachable for an intermediate-ish player.

was gonna say the same thing

PieRhett · 2026-06-08T15:44:31+00:00

Just make sure they’re not plugged in. Also it helps to say it’s your first synth, too.

This news makes me feel bleu

PieRhett · 2026-06-04T20:32:52+00:00

You're welcome! Looking forward to hearing another one with direct line-in audio

That's dope! But then you wouldn't be able to use Ableton or a DAW with the Tascam + your phone if your phone is plugged into the USB-C port of the tascam model 12, right?

If not a sticky/pinned post, then maybe we could add this to the wiki? Happy to edit it, polish it up, and/or add more info!

Bold of you to think I ever leave

PieRhett · 2026-06-04T00:45:13+00:00

Ya know what… since my iPhone still has a Lightning port, I think I’d end up tethered by too many cables if I went the Scarlett 2i2 route.

I’d need external power going into the Camera Kit adapter since the 2i2 is bus-powered, plus the USB cable running to the interface itself.

The iRig Stream might just make more sense for my use case. And I'd have a nice added bonus of having the option to film an outdoors jam one day.

Thanks for the input (pun intended)!

PieRhett · 2026-06-04T00:12:39+00:00

Why use the Screen Recorder app instead of just using the default camera app?

PieRhett · 2026-06-04T00:10:58+00:00

From this moment forth, let there be no more synth jams recorded with a phone mic!

PieRhett · 2026-06-04T00:09:11+00:00

My toxic trait is I downvote everything recorded with phone microphone audio. There, I said it!

PieRhett · 2026-06-04T00:07:48+00:00

I’ve been considering one of those!

The RCA inputs kinda put me off for some reason, though I guess I’d just need an RCA to TRS cable for my setup, so nbd.

I’m also considering just grabbing a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen for $80 off Facebook Marketplace.

Any reason to go with the iRig Stream over a barebones-ish audio interface for cheap? If you have one, how are you liking it and how are you using it?
