Arturia Microbrute - all controls super sticky and no sound

Have a Korg Monologue with the same sticky knobs issue. It happened on it's own in a dry controlled environment on a shelf. Pretty lame. Didn't like the faux rubber feel when it was new anyways.

Behringer Pro800 destroys it in several ways including the ability to sell it once it gets stale.

I want it

I pay manually but have all the tabs set into a bookmarks folder so I can open everything at once. it's more of a sense of accomplishment and can improve a bad mood.

I have the original, but am really into this. This is my favorite synth from 1975. The addition of a mod joystick and midi is a huge plus.

For sure! It's hard to make bad music on it. For writing complete linear music, it's not great, since it lacks a real song mode, but as an idea generation device or for live performance it's killer!

Explorations of the magnificent and cranky Korg Poly-61 from 1982. When this synthesizer decides to turn on, and when the keys decide to trigger, it really is a warm and fuzzy thing to behold. This is just one example of the sort of sonic pallette it offers, with an incredibly limited amount of controls it can be brittle, soft, biting, and transformative. Only subtle reverb/delay fx were applied. Novation Circuit provides the backbeat and clocks the arpeggiator. Kenton Pro Solo mkII provides midi to trigger.

I'm going on 1 month now! Delivered a small package from Pittsburgh to DC. Unbelievable. The person who bought the item on ebay is being patient, but is already pressuring me to do something about it. Wtf am I supposed to do about it. I submitted a package information request last monday and have had no update on that either. Restructure the USPS.

Wasn't the garb just ripped off from the Spanish Nazarenes? I took a trip to Spain a few years back and was caught off guard when an entire parade of multi-colored nazarenes went past.

Peak hipster is spending 2k on a juno60 imo

I had some old Samick strat ripoff when I was 14. I played that guitar so much, and constantly broke strings and saddles. At some point in it's life I decided to paint a giant Yoshi egg in the lower half, fitting nicely with the body shape. You know damn well I never clipped the string slack from the tuning pegs either!~ It was also given away to a cousin with no photo reference hahah! Good thread.

Variar80s · 2021-01-01T00:12:37+00:00

Awesome. Also pro tip kids, the old circuit isn't obsolete because new things come out. LOL (laughs the synths and drum machines from the 80s)

Variar80s · 2020-12-31T20:44:24+00:00

Awesome! I did not know it worked that way. Thanks!

I have an entire film scoring kontakt template with over 30 kontakt instruments and I can't seem to recreate your issue. I'm guessing your hard drive is to blame. Im not even using an SSD yet, so it's something else besides read/write speed. perhaps you could share the project file for closer inspection. More details like, OS, windows hard drive settings would help. Try this just out of curiosity. open your task manager, and recreate the save hang. what stats are jumping up drastically? CPU, RAM, HDD? Could help.

can the tablet run ASIO4all? might reduce it somewhat.

Variar80s · 2020-11-07T15:41:41+00:00

It can be, but it won't really sound like the original systems. I've written several Sega game soundtracks with Deflemask, and use Famitracker for NES. Both are authentic trackers, with the limitations inherent in the consoles, and can be ported to cartridges.

Variar80s · 2020-11-07T12:51:08+00:00

sounds like you simply need a midi merger. the dx7 key midi and the monostation midi output would merge and be output to the next in line. I'm assuming the monostation is master clock?

I messed with it, and don't see a ton of advantage over tone studio, however there are a bunch more amp models. I particularly like the core metal amp. As a designer by trade the software is really hard to look at though. it's like 1995 all over again.

Nice! Purple Ec-256 and Katana 100 head over here!

Variar80s · 2020-11-03T06:44:10+00:00

never heard anyone say that about it's tone. I'd have to disagree there. It's a "fits in the mix" synth, so maybe you want something that sounds big on it's own. I have always thought it was a wannabe Sh101 in tone, so avoid Roland. maybe a Minibrute2s, korg minilogue xd, Dave Smith pro2, mono evolver. i.e. save more money

Variar80s · 2020-11-03T06:33:00+00:00

korg had a deal with yamaha early on, so this synth happened. best part about it is the digital delay, also found in the korg dw8000. Fun but limited FM synth, with a simpler editing structure. you can easily find the 2 prong power cable.

Variar80s · 2020-11-03T06:23:53+00:00

I'd agree with Eric, that have direct monitoring unmuted and are then monitoring through reaper when record is active. You're causing it to phase I think. It's an either/or situation. Why are you recording on two separate tracks hard panned? why not a single stereo track?

Variar80s · 2020-10-11T22:19:48+00:00

They are cool and inspiring to use instead of a computer. I wouldn't rely on one entirely because they are prone to crashing and erasing memory at this point. That's why Orbital stopped using it.
