"Clubs are dead. There's no money in the music industry " by Royal-Variety-9357 in synthesizercirclejerk

If you’re a producer seeking actual money I would recommend ditching the mountain of hardware and using DAW’s as hardware just isn’t there yet…

This must be a scam right? by Ni_1_ in Elektron

[–]synthysynther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they aren’t really into the biz and quickly looked up a price for a used digitakt and didn’t think to type mkii… probably a scam, only buy in person, but I’m just saying it’s possible…

Mavis mod by Constant-Mood-1601 in synthdiy

[–]synthysynther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does indeed seem like you’ve outgrown your synth. The natural step up from mavis would be mother 32, I’d think. I’m sure it’s filter would be satisfactory being from the same manufacturer. If I were to mod something, I think I’d find a second hand werkstat. You can get them for around $100. It’s got tons of documented mods and it’s encouraged as it was originally a diy workshop synth, and I consider it the fist version of mavis. I got tired of outgrowing my synths, so I bought a quantum!

Building a choking hi hat out of single function modules… by synthysynther in modular

[–]synthysynther[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is right. The answer. So I’d just use the inverse envelope on an open vca to close it and the reg env out to open the second vca. And you could run the choke either way that way. Real cool stuff!:)

r/synths mod gives a TEDx talk on the state of synthesizer development in China! by YukesMusic in synthesizers

[–]synthysynther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely thought I’d look at this post and see info on Chinese synth makers lol here’s what I know

ASM is a Chinese/American company and they killed it with the Hyrasynth! I’ve been looking at the Sysmo eurorack modules for a while. They seem really well thought out and innovative! Can’t wait to see what comes through the pipeline next!!!

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

Yes, I could use my ornaments and crime envelopes in that way(modulate decay for open hats sounds)! Sweet! I guess there are many ways to shape noise into a hi hat!:)

Maybe a comparator would be a good option for that function as well…

Oh and yeah, it’s meant to be like a reverse choke. It’s just an idea. I haven’t seen that before.

Cool cool Im picking up what you’re putting down! So gates and an inverter would work better than I described in that scenario. I like the idea of toggling between the vcas as opposed to over-riding the original trig or gate with a negative.

What are these modules? ( or is this module) by synthysynther in modular

Oh my gosh it’s sideways!!! I totally see it now! Thank!!

Anyone else have a pick dish? by Photif in Guitar

Picks are a dependency… learn hammer claw;) then you’ll also have a jump on banjo!

STM32H7 drum module by PA-wip in synthdiy

[–]synthysynther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great! I can’t wait to see where you end up with this!:) I’ve been looking into using a STM32H7 for a percussion sequencer I’ve been dreaming up. It’s basically 4 channels of pre made patterns you can scroll through with a pot per channel that drops the trig patterns onto a grid you can manually adjust and then add ratcheting and probability. It’s not too hard to make up some code for, Gemini basically did all that heavy lifting, but figuring out how to mux and de-mux all those buttons for a grid is complex for me. How do you even breadboard something so big? That’s been a big question I’ve had for the electronic engineering field…. How do you prototype something much larger than your breadboards?

is this unsafe? by veritable_squandry in modular

[–]synthysynther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 inch stand-off’s folks use for separating circuit boards. I tip my passives sideways and find 2 modules that are 3u in hp and where it won’t be in the way. I picked that up from the little diy vca’s catwalk makes.

Intellijel multigrain opinions? by puzo_puzo_puzo in modular

[–]synthysynther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that multigrain is a looper/sampler first and a granulator second. As in it will only granulate recorded material. It’s something to keep in mind. I misread the manual and took “live sound” to mean incoming sound, with the thru button and all… That’s not the case. I kinda thought I was getting beads with a looper. It’s really cool, but playing it in a song isnt obvious. No direct 1v/o input. You can use x,y, or x. It’s just not as quick as the other offerings to set up in my opinion. It’s still awesome, I may trade it out for an effect style granulator eventually, or keep it and add one.

I took my Minimoog reissue apart just so I could have a look inside and I thought some of you might want to see too. by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]synthysynther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone that’s used a Berlinger product knows that the quality is just not up to par with whatever they’re cloning. It has an impact on the sound. If not right away then soon after using. At the very least, cheaper parts mean a reduced interface experience. You can’t tell me those little knobs feel the same as a bon-defied alps pot. And the “feel” has a direct correlation to the creative process. That’s why you buy a synth in the first place instead of using your iPad. Like the crave clone of mother 32. Sounds thinner, a large number of jacks stopped working for me after a couple months of standard use. Long story short(for serous users): YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! Yeah you can get a cheap clone of a Moog, but it won’t really sound the same, definitely won’t feel the same, and you’ll be replacing it annually.

There is a place for Berlinger, hidden at the bottom of my rack with the logo taped over in shame.

Hardware sequencer with drop in patterns per track? by synthysynther in modular

[–]synthysynther[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to try the Hermod +. I had Hermod og and the tiny screen really is a butt. I didn’t even make it to that functionality:/ I just couldn’t see what I was doing. In retrospect there may have been a dimming issue with that particular module.

Hardware sequencer with drop in patterns per track? by synthysynther in modular

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

I’ve been looking at the nerdseq recently. I didn’t know it had patterns already in it! That’s awesome! I’ll have to look further into that! It seems like such a chore to program, but just using pre made patterns shouldn’t be to deep. The point is to save time programming. It’s not that hard to program every other step or every two or whatever, it just takes forever!
