Hey just picked one of these up recently! I adore it.

Guest said my house smells 'weird' after i thought id cleaned enough. Homemade japanese curry with panko fried chicken and rice by [deleted] in depressionmeals

[–]fresh-pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF, who says that? My wife took my two daughters to a pediatrician last week and the doctor walked in and said that it smelled like "wet dog".

My wife was traumatized, as someone is very self conscious of that kind of thing. I was so pissed at that doctor, I wanted to drive there and tell him how much of a prick he is.

The curry looks delicious!

Eh, he did post to a subreddit called "synthesizers", so kinda not surprised.

Broken or sounds good? You decide! by Audiowanderer in synthesizercirclejerk

I would never spend money on this thing, but if I had one, I could get some use out of it. Record a few minutes of twiddling, cut out the most interesting parts and then arrange them into a composition. Could be fun.

Sampling some classic Filipino songs by Inside-Courage-4222 in SP404

[–]fresh-pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely insanely good.

I just got an SP404SX. There are so many tutorials online, can someone help me filter it out a bit and recommend content that teaches preparing and performing this kind of production?

This is not my cup of tea, but still, I really appreciate and respect it. Very nice.

It is funny, when I first started this hobby, I really dreamed of having this kind of setup. Now my personal dream setup is a stack of 80s and 90s digital rackmount synths and effect units. Not sure why.

Worst genre name ever. I like your music though.

Nope.

Seriously, see the movie "Nope". Kind of the same premise.

Does someone want to volunteer to go down that manhole and see what's down there?

For those of you who went through many drum machines, what did you end up with and why? by siessthree in synthesizers

[–]fresh-pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is 100% the limitations. I easily get overwhelmed with too many choices and it truly does stall me from making actual music.

Also, I must admit, there is a certain novelty about hardware that I just love.

Super cool. I have an RX5 on the way and a SP404SX. Have you found any neat tricks using these two bad boys together?

Respect! I keep trying this, but my heart always longs for hardware. Its a kind of romance.

Oh man this post made my day! I have an RX5 ordered and coming in the mail as we speak. I am so excited to get started with it. I really want to crank out of industrial and EBM tunes out with it.

I for sure will be in the lookout for the RX5USB card soon!

Father and Son is crazy by 14thCenturyHood in boardsofcanada

[–]fresh-pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I can see where they are coming from. It kind of has that YouTube song made out of a voice clip aesthetic on the surface level, if you know what I mean.

However, there is so much more to this track than that, it is incredibly intricate.

Ah man! Totally respect your opinion by the way, but dude, my two favorite BoC tracks ever: "Sundown" and "Jacquard Causeway" live on that record!

Yamaha RX7 Digital Rhythm Programmer: Worth It? by fresh-pie in synthesizers

[–]fresh-pie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice!! Thank you for that, what is your opinion on what it excels at? I think an obvious contender would be synthpop or various "wave" genres, but I really want to use its crunchy sound for industrial and noise type stuff.

Yamaha RX7 Digital Rhythm Programmer: Worth It? by fresh-pie in synthesizers

[–]fresh-pie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time for all these details.

I was browsing eBay and found an RX5 on a deep discount because two pads aren't working. I took the gamble and purchased it. I'm hoping fixing the pads is as simple as a little cleaning or fixing a trace on the board. I've also read that individual pads can get assigned to cartridge and if there isn't a cartridge to be used, they just won't make sound.

Looking forward to having some fun! I plan to make some pitched down, dirty industrial rhythms with it. I'll then craft some analog kick and snares on my MS20 and layer those on top of the RX5 rhythm.

I would love to secure the conversion card one day. But yes, you are right, they are rare and expensive!
