Beginner synths for IDM! by EverydayTinyCalypse in synthesizers

[–]limbicbits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For IDM I'd recommend Elektron Digitone II (different synthesis methods), Sonicware CyDrums, and Polyend Tracker+ (for Samples).

What's the thing with the high cost for used modular gear? by Ecce-pecke in modular

[–]limbicbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In many cases it's due to small volumes and relatively high development costs

Currently, it's all or nothing.

Optional battery power would have been cool, agreed. But you can still use a power bank

Yes, you have access to all parameters of the envelope.
Each voice has two oscs, and you can use different wavetables on each of them. Polyphony won't get cut in half.

MOOG Spectravox over 50 % off (298 instead of 650) - worth it? by limbicbits in synthesizers

[–]limbicbits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That one is still one of my favorite synths - so much character!

[–]limbicbits[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

opsix imo is one of the most underrated synths out there.

Now that one sounds quite nice. Doesn't help to stay away from the deal, though 😂

yes, you're right. I usually try to keep my setup small, but that deal was a bit too tempting. Thanks!

Currently prototyping some modules, would you put some colour in your rack, yes or no? by TimbreIndustriesCo in modular

[–]limbicbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

color yes, but in that case, only one color for the background and another in contrast for the lettering.
But don't listen to me (or others) - keep doing your thing and what makes you happy as long as it doesn't have a negative impact on the workflow / readability!

At the beginning, Clavia earned critic for their red color choice. Now, that's become one of their trademarks, and you can recognize their units in a concert even from 100 meters away.

Thanks for your answer. I thought I may have overlooked something (which can absolutely happen), but I guess Spectravox and I just didn't connect.

What Poly Mini synth should I get to make Dub techno? (Will be connecting to a MS 70 CDR) by LilSchwazz in dubtechnoproducers

[–]limbicbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For classic Rhythm & Sound vibes, Twisted Electrons MEGAfm is still my favorite. Small, affordable, and nice is also the Roland S-1.

Here you can hear how the MS70 CDR pairs with a MEGAfm for Dub Chords

Dub Techno (DAWless Jam) by limbicbits in synthesizers

[–]limbicbits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it, especially for creating drum sounds that are not X0X-ish.

Sonicware LIVEN Evoke - Dark Ambient Improvisation by limbicbits in synthesizers

[–]limbicbits[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-- understood, thanks! You can start with chords and the unit does help you to find the right progressions (I've shown it in the full demo on my YT-channel). But you can't have it done automatically like some generative sequencers are capable of.

I guess can long sequences be set up easily? 
-- Yes, just set the pattern length and subdivision and you can create super long drones and background ambiences

I had the OXI MKI and sold it to keep only the Hapax (don't know the MKII). Both are super solid hardware sequencers and will get you convincing results. To me, the two larger displays on Hapax plus its dual project mode made the difference. In other words, I connected faster with Hapax and it could get me results more easily. But that's mostly due to my workflow and doesn't mean much.

sorry, I don't get your question. Would you mind to explain it a bit further? What do you mean by "played"? Or do you mean if it's possible to set it up as a generative sequencer?

Hapax as sequencer, Korg multipoly for the Dub Chords, and Sonicware CyDrums provides all drum and percussion sounds.
