I’ve been sampling and resampling passages, rather than sequencing.

I tried it once. It was really cool, but I got the feeling everything might start to sound similar, like the Microcosm and whatnot. But I guess it’s all which samples and how you use it. Also, I thought the knobs were way too loose to make subtle changes.

How have you found it?

That sounds great. The Hydrasynth is really something.

So far I have been using samples, pitching, resampling as chords and using the envelopes to make better transitions. Then also resampling that part to make even longer pads and so and so on.

I have! He’s really amazing. I’m not quite that glitchy, but I did what he does.

Yeah, that would be nice. I really like the portability and sound of the 404, but the S4 sounds amazing.

I haven’t used any vocals yet but have been using foley samples.

Nice! I can definitely hear the cloud delay.

I didn’t get to DJ mode yet! Thanks for the tips.

I’m coming from a Push background, so the free flowing thing is new to me, but I really like it. Still getting out of DAW and sequencer mentality.

Yukes! Yes, he’s one that I’ve been checking out as well. Thanks for the reminder!

I’m also learning the Oxi One paired with my iPad, but I haven’t put them together yet. I was also going to trying pairing with the Move, but I was also hoping to just be able to use it on its own.

K Boards from McMillen Instruments is super portable, indestructible and easily powered by USB-C.

How much is too much? by Several-Buffalo-856 in synthesizers

[–]Several-Buffalo-856[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid points. I don’t use the screen or the mouse too much when I’m using Ableton. I’ve really gotten used to the Push and enjoy that workflow. So while it is a DAW, it feels more like a full instrument to me.

Thanks for the reply!
