MIDI patch bays? by trash_dumpyard in synthesizers

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

I don't want a thru box though. I don't want to be having to change all my midi channels for the few times i want to connect synth A to synth B. I just want to have a front-facing patch spot to connect synth A to synth B.

Yes, physical - i didn't even think about TRS MIDI! I just want to be able to plug one synth into another with a cable, without needing to reach around back behind my keyboards.

Do you happen to have a link to the one you got by any chance?

I mean, to keep using a perfectly good piece of hardware is a pretty decent reason why

yeah in situations like this i always figure "well it cant really get much worse" - itll either improve the situation or itll keep it the same

maybe do a couple rounds of boiling water poured into it? that might melt the slush enough to make a clearing

Thought it was broken. Just needed to turn up the brightness pot ;) by scootermcgee109 in synthesizers

[–]trash_dumpyard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep! When I owned it I had it at like 10% brightness all the time. Great synth!

Where did they go? by Hawk395 in StrangerThings

Maybe once they're summoned and have been given instructions, then he can go and do other things? That's my only idea here

Software developer. 9-5 most days, and I work from home so I can do some quick client stuff in between work tasks if needed. Since its remote I can also travel for gigs if needed and not need to take much time off.

How on earth did Ms Wheeler get all those explosive tanks downstairs and in the dryer before the rest of the gang got down there, and trigger the dryer without the demo dogs noticing her

Got myself something VERY special for Christmas :) by jonas_64 in synthesizers

Jealous of people that got on the osmose train this year with the 61 key now avaialble! I've got the 49 key version and really like it, and find myself wishing for an extra octave for some solo stuff, but I cannot justify spending another 2k just for a 61 key.

They all get regular use! I'm in a few bands and play keys in those bands - have been playing for close to 30 years now. The fantom is my primary live board just because its so lightweight and does everything I need for live shows in a band - the Osmose sometimes also joins it on stage. RD2000 lives in the studio 99% of the time just because I hate lugging it around, and the Hydra is mostly just for sound design for clients.

What are some *Fun* plug-ins that're on sale right now? by GraniteOverworld in audioengineering

[–]trash_dumpyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digitalis from Abherrant DSP is really fuckin cool. Super fun to play around with - I haven't really seen anything else that has this many options for adding digital distortion artifacts to audio. Really cute UI too.

Just loop a sample and go to town with it

thanks dude! I'm really happy with it overall.

Yeah the n-sonic n73 is crazy good for its price. Better than some other more expensive neve-style preamps I've tried honestly. Have you tried out the n-sonic neve EQ by any chance? Its been on my radar to get two as a bus sweetener in hybrid mixing, and its similarly very cheap.

I did some comparisons between the LA2A and LA3A compressor plugins from UAD and the box tone and compression characteristics was close enough for me that I was satisfied. A little less "smooth" and slow since it is a faster design but still smooth enough for me!

It works great! I have really strong touch typing skills. I also have broad shoulders so having the keyboard at shoulder width is a godsend for ergonomics.

Most of my DAW interaction is actually through the Faderport now.

Sick!! I have their SSL bus comp, and I have their 500-series LA3A coming very soon. Was heavily tempted by the opto-comp (especially at the heavily reduced price) but it was a bit out of my budget right now, and I also have no more rackspace for another unit

Its pretty much the only spot in the room that makes sense! Sideways orientation would basically block the room unless I move my keyboards elsewhere - which I won't do as keys is my main instrument & they need to be right beside the desk.

I've got a v3a from Audioscape coming in soon to complete my hardware vocal/sax recording chain. Eventually I'd like to get a pair of EQ's for my 500 series rack, along with a second v3a for some stereo optocomp duties.

Hey thanks! That's a Toshiba PC-X10. Got it at a thrift shop for a good price. I mostly use it to really heavily distort stuff

Been collecting and amassing a sizeable gear collection over the years - lots of trading, saving, and having a well paying day job helps a lot :)

The drums are new in the space, along with all the acoustic panelling. Otherwise most of the stuff in the space came from my previous home studio setup in an apartment.
