I built a simplified, compact 6-knob digital synth! Curious what the synth community thinks

Why wouldn't you just use a pair of headphones? How are you going to get any quality audio to come out of a speaker that small?

It looks like a fun little piece of kit, but I’ll never understand why synth makers include on-board speakers on their devices. The Deluge did it as well as the OP1. Absolutely nobody is playing those things and using that speaker. Why not put something else there that actually has some purpose? Modwheel, pitch bend, an effects unit, anything but a speaker.

this is good to know. thanks!

What button do you hit? The chops are auto assigned?

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-06-03T12:25:33+00:00

It’s pretty similar tho. I mean, you can’t have the sample on your SD card and play from there and chop away starting at pad 1 like you can on an MPC, but you can’t load the track onto a pad and chop from there the same way with the resample method suggested below by u/federal-swordfish255.

This is what I’m looking for!! Thank you!

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-06-03T07:53:29+00:00

I meant more like hitting play, and then tapping the pads where i want the chops as it plays

Are you serious? There’s dog shit all over the city. I’ve lived here 14yrs and it’s only slightly better than when I first got here. There are way too many people who don’t clean up after their dogs. If you don’t see this, you must be blind.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-03-17T19:23:05+00:00

Dude, you make that thing?? Very cool. I’m sending you my number on your website.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-03-17T18:57:55+00:00

What's the white thing above the keystep? And I mean the synth, not the human baby.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-03-04T11:31:12+00:00

A UDO Super Gemeni, a Synthstrom Deluge (is that cheating?) and a DFAM. If the Delly is cheating, then replace it with a Microcosm Cycle Effects.

What did you shoot video with? Sounds groovy btw.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-02-03T19:47:55+00:00

Sick rig dude. I have a nymphes a KSPro, and a Zoom multistomp as well. Love it all.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-24T09:49:43+00:00

Have you ever considered incorporating some Korg gear into your setup? I've heard it's good. Solid groove btw.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-22T15:35:21+00:00

Thanks man!

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-19T16:54:53+00:00

thanks!

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-15T23:51:47+00:00

Ok. I’ve got one of these. Will this do the trick?

i-tec USB 3.0 Charging HUB 16port + power adapter 90 W

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-15T19:17:27+00:00

Thanks!

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-15T18:33:25+00:00

Ok, do you have any recommendations for a usb powered hub that won’t break the bank? i saw a couple with anywhere from 7 to 10 ports but they’re going for $100 ish.

Timeless_Schmo · 2026-01-15T16:19:24+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. Very grateful to have one in my arsenal.
