With all those mods coming out, I was wondering if we would see the option like in the DT2 on the original one, to choose for all 16 track if they are samples or Midi-tracks.
Maybe there is a real hardware limitation that does not allow this (or lack of DSP).

Would be cool though!

For those owning both/having tried both.

How is the menu diving in the MM2 ? Similar to an elektron digi box ?

How useful do you find each in covering certain type of sound ?

I would use them routed into ableton move, so external FX and sequencer available, also using a launchkey 61 mk2 so eventually having more hands on controls.

I personally produce mostly 90 inspired deep house, old-ish progressive house/trance, with peak time/rave or detroit vibe.

Cheers

I am by no means anything more then a strange tinker-er with music/things... ordered this last month before all the firmware exploded onto the internet. So far, it's fun, small and portable too.

First try at making a pattern on my TR-1000, featuring some custom patches from my OB-X8 to go with it!

I recently got a polybrute 12, while it is fantastic, it does have its problems. First and foremost is I find the keys are not horizontally even. It does not really bother me playing it much, but this is a very expensive flagship we are talking about. Is that a general synth key thing, an arturia thing, or is it an independent issue?

I have tried to reach out to arturia support, but after the prompt immediate response asking for photos, they have not updated me since then for over 10 days.

my boyfriend gifted me grind a while back, now i bought edge. AHH i tested it for a few minutes but i can already tell i needed this for a while. ^_^

Here are my RE-909 sequencer and voice boards. I have a nasty hum on my trigger out that I'm trying to locate so thoroughly going through each instrument to see where the voltage leak is occurring. I thought some of you might find the internals interesting.

I make some music dawless without using computer DAW or any plugin just hardware synths and live performance.have alot of fun and is inspiring too

super gemini bricked and was out for a few months, so glad to have it back

Noisferatu by Robert Heel kit making monsterous wails. Deep tones not coming through phone speakers

I've seen the Narf packages, which seem awesome, but I'm looking for any other suggestions for less coinage.

⛔️ SYNTAX ERROR ⛔️

UndergroundA syntax error is a mismatch in the syntax of data input to a computer system that requires a specific syntax. For source code in a programming language, a compiler detects syntax errors before the software is run (at compile-time), whereas an interpreter detects syntax errors at run-time. A syntax error can occur based on syntax rules other than those defined by a programming language. For example, typing an invalid equation into a calculator (an interpreter) is a syntax error.

I couldn’t afford a SH-101 lmao, but it goes well with my Yamaha SY77. It’s my first time posting here, my SY77 was my first big synth ! Can’t wait to create music with my MS-1 tho hihi

What are some cheap synths (<$100) that are really cool and fun to play. I have a few older Casios and just recently ordered an fm1 and want to see what other cheap synths people love.

This isn't a full on review or a tour of the MicroMonsta 2, there are many features I don't talk about or touch on, this is just me having some fun. Building a couple of pad-like patches and playing them in bi-timbral mode.

As someone who is not fully committed to this hobby and just dabbling, I've come to the conclusion that even though I'd love to be DAWless, it's not realistic unless you're willing to spend a whole lot. I currently have a Novation Circuit tracks

I originally posted a similar thread because I wanted to avoid screen fatigue since I have an office job (at the screen all day), and game. It's just too complex and clunky for me to go all out though, so here's my idea: make various "scenes" like ableton has, then transport to ableton to get a full song going with fx etc.

I know everyone is thinking "just get an ableton move!"... I am not needing another groovebox, and frankly I like my circuit tracks so yeah. But, if it can compliment my CT rather than just be a straight up replacement, I'm open to it. I am not familiar with what the best device would be to be a bridge from the circuit tracks to bring in my work into a DAW?

Some things that have come up in similar threads: 1010music blackbox/tangerine, sp404mk2, ableton move, minifreak

I'm more interested in layering and experimenting than live mixing, so the above seem nice + can connect to my Akai Mini MPK mk4.

TLDR: not committed to spending a bunch of money for this hobby, have a Circuit Tracks, want to get another piece of hardware to both expand my DAWless potential with the CT AND export my work to ableton live lite 12 to add more sounds, depth, fx etc

Hi, i'm a complete noob and i'm still undecided on which model i should buy, the cycles seems better to get creative with it on it's own but i'm not sure i'll be able to play stuff like botchka (was wondering about hardgroove aswell) because i haven't found a video playing these genres with the cycles yet. Hardgroove i think it would be much easier but idk how it would sound on the cycles.

With the model:samples i would be able to directly import the botchka/industrial kicks and play with it but won't be able to tweak those kicks and tracks live with the shape color sweep things, but if i buy a samples i'll be lost when it comes to other kind of music and the samples i'd need to import so i don't think i'll be able to have fun as easily in the beginning?(tell me if i'm wrong)

And about the model-TG mod, if it's just stuff like botchka, industrial hardtech or hardcore i won't be able to make then i'll download it but i don't want to become dependent on it to make the stuff i like if i can just buy a samples.

...and I think this was the best decision. Finally, I am having joy again: turning knobs, moving sliders, sculpting the sound, jamming like a kid. There is something magical in this tactile feedback, working with real instruments. I couldn't afford it earlier, still most of my synths are rather cheap, but these little creatures bring the spark back :)

Feeling ready for winter.

I know they're not yet being commercially produced, but I was wondering if one has been shown off at any of the synth shows/conventions.

As a Lyra-8 lover, the Queen looks like a pretty fucking cool alternative. I really, really enjoy the screenless, completely hands on experience of playing the Lyra, but the patch points, fx+fx routing, and possibility of a sequencer and voices that stay in tune are appealing in another way. It's one expensive drone synth, but I'm gassing for it.

Would love to hear anyone's experience with it!

Paging u/neutral-labs (hope that's cool) for any info on whether the Queen has been available for people to try yet

Good luck to anyone bidding, but this will go for market price. They've had a few Junos in the past.

i Am looking at synths over as I do to see whats out there and honestly, in the last 15 years or so, synths are all just the same or re-issues!

When i think about synths that break ground - they offer something so different it makes you stop!

Some examples that come to mind include - Moog matriarch, Expressive E omoses ( which in my opinon was/is ground breaking), Moog one, Serum, PB12 by arturia, M motor synth, Intellijel Cascadia, P6/OB-6 ( modern day classics)!

Even if you dont love the synth, the point is you can appericate the synth is actually different and trying to push things further.

1. what synths do you think have changed the game over the last 15 years?

2. Am I alone in saying - everything is pretty much the same now?
