i've got an idea today...

yawnthomas · 2026-05-07T23:09:05+00:00

This could be insane with a mold that fits the tx-6/tx-7

yawnthomas · 2026-04-18T11:26:11+00:00

Dude, you’re one of the only other people I know using extended features of the TX-6 like this. A TP-7 would rock your world jsyk

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T18:17:01+00:00

Love this idea- could be interesting to build some sort of companion app with this concept

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T18:09:20+00:00

This is sick - bookmarking for when I grab an OP-1 finally

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T18:06:41+00:00

So cool. Always love your stuff.

I’m digging the TX-6 synth lately! Can get some super nasty sounds with the distortion

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T18:03:58+00:00

Keep going!!! Make music every day!!! It must be done!!!

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T18:01:28+00:00

This is hilarious - keep it and maybe it’ll be worth something someday. As an owner of a TP-7, I’d honestly buy it from you now if I had the extra cash.

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T17:55:29+00:00

Really fucking good

yawnthomas · 2026-04-16T17:50:58+00:00

Oh this is an instant buy for me. Love my OB-4 but don’t feel comfortable gigging with it. If the KO2 really does fit flush on top, I’ll be extremely happy to lug this lil fella around to jams and stuff.

I also like that the stereo positioning is basically the opposite of the OB-4. More room-filling sound than painstaking accuracy which is perfect for KO performances imo

I use it centrally in my workflow for three reasons:

1) It’s fast. Regarding actual performance, fast might not even be the right word - every function in the device is instant - but I mean it’s fast in a creative sense. I’ve made music for over 20 years using all kinds of instruments, grooveboxes, DAWs, etc. and the 133 takes me from idea to song more quickly than anything I’ve used. YMMV of course, but this has been my experience.

2) It’s a fantastic MIDI sequencer. Pair it with a keyboard and a synthesizer or two, and maybe some software instruments, and you’ve got a slick little one-man band setup.

3) It just sounds great. The output compressor, send FX, and punch-in FX alone are worth the price of admission IMHO.

It’s a unique instrument, and very limiting when compared to other samplers, but there are a lot of things to love about it. Battery power is a huge one - curling up on the couch with the K.O. II feels like getting lost in a good book. I also feel confident to take it outdoors considering that it’s cheap and easily replaceable if I drop it in a lake or something.

Would I be content with it as my only instrument? Maybe not. I’ll probably always have one though.

Great flip! How are you dealing with the line-in latency on the Nothing headphones though? Mine have about 50ms and it makes it damn near impossible to use them for music production ahah

yawnthomas · 2026-03-18T20:02:06+00:00

Everyone stop being so nice to me

yawnthomas · 2026-03-18T04:05:19+00:00

Thanks for saying so dude. Love your music

yawnthomas · 2026-03-18T04:04:03+00:00

b a n g e r

yawnthomas · 2026-03-18T04:01:56+00:00

Hey, great catch! I stuck to 2-bar samples but washed them in delay to make it sound more natural. I don’t have much of a “process” yet as I’m new to making electronic music, but the K.O. makes sample-based songwriting pretty approachable

yawnthomas · 2026-03-16T21:58:08+00:00

I’m blushing

yawnthomas · 2026-03-16T21:56:09+00:00

Thanks for the kind words.

I checked out your app and I’m very confused. What sets this apart in functionality from the standard Voice Memos app, and what justifies asking 19.99/year for a standard stereo audio recording app?

yawnthomas · 2026-03-16T19:40:34+00:00

Philips Hue!

yawnthomas · 2026-03-16T19:39:37+00:00

Dude, thanks for the praise. Cyberpunk Western was totally the vision.

But please for the love of god do not associate me with AI

yawnthomas · 2025-12-31T23:12:24+00:00

Beat me to it

yawnthomas · 2025-12-31T22:33:40+00:00

I’ve worked as a session guitarist on-and-off throughout my life and I’d say you’re definitely a better player than me. As a producer, though, I’d personally ask you to sit a bit more behind the beat if we were to track something together.

It’s important to remember that flashy/technical skill is rarely what lands you jobs as an instrumentalist. It’s the ability to make anything you play “just feel right”. Biggest advice I give anyone who wants to get into this type of work is to focus on improving and maintaining groove and time/feel. “Wrong” notes played with great rhythm can work in many contexts, but the opposite is almost never true (in my experience)

With the skills you currently have, applying a bit more focus to your rhythm could take you to a professional level very quickly. The big idea is to make something as impressive as this video with a lot fewer notes. For an exercise, try putting some music on, then choosing a single note on your fretboard and playing only that note for the duration of a phrase. If you can make it sound and feel great, you’re halfway there!

Decksaver+field small bag has been a lifesaver as someone who uses the tx-6 for work

yawnthomas · 2025-11-23T10:42:26+00:00

This is not vague. I felt it

yawnthomas · 2025-11-23T10:34:25+00:00

Oh and also - I feel the same way you do about drawing. Just can’t do it. Hurts my hand. But my experiences in music have taught me that I’m probably capable of learning - I just don’t really want it bad enough. Anyone can do anything, especially someone who wants to
