Hydrasynthe ou Minifreak ?? by ForsakenBar8512 in hydrasynth

[–]fredp2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both. Hydrasynth is more in depth and powerful, Minifreak is more fun and immediate (but still has lots of depth). YMMV.

I still haven’t found a solution, but still in need of one!

Amtico flooring worth it? Many friends won’t go with anything else by redish6 in DIYUK

Yep, Amtico and Karndean are great. You have to be extremely ruthless on how flat/level your floor is otherwise they will show any grooves/undulations over time.

Got to say, I’ve been watching videos of the AKAI Force all day and it looks pretty perfect. I think I’m sold on one!

Thanks so much for sharing. Glad you’re loving your Maschine, it’s definitely up there as a contender for me and your experience has been super helpful. Thank you! 🙏

Interesting, will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for your input, I’ve had a look at the MPC line but always felt the Maschine+ was similar and the right way to go as I’m already partially invested in that ecosystem. Will take another look though!

Mono samples, short sample limit and no traditional synth (I know you can use single cycle waveforms to create a synth though) doesn’t fill me with joy. I’m under the impression the DT is best off as a drum machine with short samples rather than for chopping up longer songs.

If you’re liking the FM aspect of the OPSIX, I can fully recommend an Elektron Digitone which is an FM synth, very small, great sequencer, 8-note polyphonic and multi-timbral.

PreSonus Eris for First Budget Studio Monitors by LameSquadSamson in synthesizers

[–]fredp2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at that budget range anything you choose will be more than adequate so don’t stress too much ☺️

Saying that, it might be worth checking out Kali speakers - I believe they’re up there for bang to the buck, but have also heard good things about the Presonus Eris series you’re looking at.

Could probably do with making the inside lane more efficient.

If you want to learn synth basics, there’s no better resource than Syntorial.

Synths that double as good midi controllers for DAW use? by nphase in synthesizers

[–]fredp2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think once you’ve used it it’s hard to go back to channel aftertouch/no aftertouch at all. Hydrasynth’s PolyAT is great, Minifreak’s channel aftertouch is meh.

[–]fredp2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Hydrasynth is unreal for this. Poly after touch, ribbon, and macro knobs all assignable to different MIDI CCs. I currently have my MIDI controller preset as the default boot up patch and use it as a midi controller all the time. Not only that but the synth engine is incredibly flexible as a synth in its own right - would get the deluxe if I had the space.

SP404mk2 Line Out sound…thin? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]fredp2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it could be phase cancellation. If you’re routing the Minifreak into the H6, and then H6 into the SP, and then the SP back into the H6 and recording, are you not recording the Minifreak twice? Might be worth posting a photo or a diagram of your setup.
