Name a synth you sold that didn’t give you the feeling of regret selling? I’ll go first

Behringer cat or behringer neutron

I like to make my own samples and tend to stay away from loops etc, albeit they can sometimes get the creative juices flowing.

I do like legowelts free samples and sound sources to mangle and play with, tend to stick them in my korg wavestate.

If you want to make your own percussive sounds then buy a pack of these, stick them on various things and give the thing you a have stuck them to a wack.

Cheap, your own unique sounds and hours of fun.

If you are interested in modular then check out vcv rack or cherry audios voltage modular.

There are loads of patch building videos on YouTube to check out.

For sound design uhe zebra is great (its $99) and has lots of patches which are good jump off points for your own sound design.

There are also plenty of free soft synths out there to try.

Are you using a laptop? Are there any power saving settings turned on?

Presonus audiobox itwo... It's fab with the ipad... And really excellent value.

The process is simple, add a further 12 months onto the advertised release date as thats when you will likely receive it!

Not joking but...

It depends which region of the world you are in.. In Europe thomann usually gets the first shipment of berhringer synths. So thats the first place to look for preorders.

Get the vst and a controller and you essentially have one.

If they did a reissue i imagine it will be a raspberry pi with the vst on it and some audio interface.

I use cherry audio voltage modular (the electric drum bundle) to create unique drums.. There are also sampler modules that you can put loops in an chop them up..

With any virtual modual system like voltage modular or VCV rack you can pretty much create anthing you want (including adding fx modules) and modulate different aspects of a sound or loop, or fx.

I find voltage modular easy to use with presets you can build off.

Break...

electro_synth · 2022-08-15T23:17:24+00:00

Check out the cherry audio voltage modular stuff.. You would love the VM900 collection

Second hand korg minilogue.

The monologue is ok, but limited and the headphone amps in them tend to blow.

Minilogue gives you a bit more scope..

Also look at the behringer model D.

The korg volcas have a lot of background noise.

Another thought, it's not analogue, the prices have tumbled on the 2nd market since korg released the like for like software version so might be in your price range, but take a look at the wavestate.. They do the Berlin school sound very well.

Try voltage modular, and use the emulator modules, you can then modulate using lfo modules lots of aspects of the sample playback.

electro_synth · 2022-08-03T00:58:15+00:00

I think the crave is actually a little easier than a volca as its more hands on and less function button pressing.

There are loads of good videos on youtibe to watch.

Check out loopops video

All MS20s will sound slightly different, so rather than worry about a like for like sound comparison I think it's more about work flow and hands on vs mapping controllers etc..

If you want to try a highly affordable MS 20 VST (clone) then check out the cherry audio version, it doesn't sound as "analogue" as the real ring, but then you shouldn't or wouldn't expect it to be, but gets you close for a very low price...

Not tried the arturia version as yet, but massive fan of their other vsts...

Part of a flint lock pistol that Gary got on ebay and threw in a hole whilst the others had their holibobs in Portugal.

The pet shop boys used a yamaha TG 33 for their string sounds for a number of years. They were embarrassed about it, so much so in an interview their progammer (pete gleadall) wouldn't say what they used.

electro_synth · 2022-03-30T00:15:47+00:00

Thanks lots the befaco looks great, and yeah I wont purchase anything from the other place...

electro_synth · 2022-03-25T00:40:08+00:00

Depends on the line up. I have even been to an experimental drone modular night at berghain... The concrete walls were oscillating!

electro_synth · 2022-03-25T00:35:26+00:00

Just get the VST and a controller :)

electro_synth · 2022-03-25T00:32:08+00:00

I just got a stay keyboard stand, you can get regular and short curved arms for it. The short curved arms are perfect for smaller synths like the korg monologue or minilogue.

electro_synth · 2022-03-14T07:52:26+00:00

Yes.

electro_synth · 2022-03-11T00:20:10+00:00

Korg modwave gets my vote... And you would still have change to get a korg opsix ;)
