It depends only by your needs, that's the cool thhing. There is a universe of what you can add to your system, do some researches, study classic modular systems (moog modulars, buchla, serge etc. ), classic integrated systems and synthesis and you'll be fine.

The Buchla 700 isn't modular, neither is the 400 or Touche or Music Easel. Their other products are modular, including the 200e or whatever that he's using in the original video. They're not eurorack but they're still fucking modular.

That looks like an empty case/diy clone with the cheapest materials possible.
If they actually do it, I'm shure it will look better

The originals were made with the cheapest materials possible.

I've been wanting to do that. Why not both :-)? I'm just into electronics and that seems like a p good thing to do.

The advantage of Max is that you can add as much shit as you want without buying anything more, and you can make much more sophisticated sequencers.

>I hate the 808 sound but that’s all that seems to get attention from manufacturers.

Yeah that and the 909 and 606 and 727 eh

808 samples are always utter-shit, even on Roland romplers, I guess it's because the charm of the 808 was tweaking them and not using the defaults. I always end up choosing 909 sounds when working on something

>utter shit
>even on Roland romplers

Wow you’re not a fan of the classic Roland R8 then

volca BTFO anything teenage engineering if u ask me

youtube.com/watch?v=ePRP7GXzqyI

it's the exact same as guitar/drums/bass

Had an R8 for years and loved it, but it had way better kits than the 808 one.

A wet dog fart blows the fuck out of reddit engineering

most interesting and exciting electronic music is created by people early in their careers, using extremely cheap and shit equipment (from flea markets)
limitations are best for people up the beginning of their career.
>You are supposed to buy it because it made a famous sound, then spend time recreating that famous sound, and arguing with other people whether something else could have made that famous sound or something

If you're the user defending the Volcas, you can get a used Electribe ER1/ES1 for the same money, or an SR-16 + cheap overdrive (my first pieces of gear) for less than a PO. Then got me an R8 + Kawai K1r (utter shit, but you can get some decent sounds using stompboxes) and a busted KP3 and did a lot with them (still keep the KP3)
Good luck finding a Volca or PO used in working condition

Nowt wrong with a volca desu user. Maybe have a listen to someone who has some creativity use one instead of just writing it off as a piece of shit. The volca sample is absolutely bang on for the price it is as is the monotron delay...you may dismount your tall nag now

Why are there no new decent string machines on the market? It's probably not very high in demand but I'm too dirt poor to buy a vintage machine that'll break in a year. I think it'd certainly be more interesting than the millionth moog clone or whatever

Had so much fun with the Monotron Delay, wish I had some soldering skills to fix it and make a cool case for it. Abused mine so much it's unusable at this point (ribbon and input are ded). Volcas could've been gr8 but those fucking knobs man....

Never tried one but looks like a smaller and monophonic microkorg on paper, srsly considering getting one, eventually

I thought it was paraphonic or polyphonic or whatever bullshit term I'm supposed to use to describe multiple notes being played

Just befriend a guy into modular and wait

neutron is great but unfairly listed as a starter synth to get into synths. You should really understnad basic patching and be willing to learn the 52 point patch bay and you can get an insanely great sounding synth. Even prewired it's solid but again if you know nothing about synthesis you might get frustrated early on,

tolerant and based

>microkorg

Attached: 1482534421408.png (400x460, 231K)

Yeah, something like that, also has a delay so you can add that. Seems cool for the price

It was based in the Mother32 right? Does it have the "moog" filter?

Truly one of the worst synths I ever used. Terrible filter and extremely shrill and unpleasant sound all around.

nah, the neutron is an original synth, not a copy. it does use 3340 oscillators used in many vintage synths. it it's own (very good) filter.

maybe you're thinking of the upcoming crave?
that has 1 3340 based chip and a moog ladder filter plus on board sequencer. its not a direct mother 32 copy but its pretty close and only 200.

Is Microkorg XL better or worse?

Can you not just pick up another one? I’ve wrecked mine by opening it and fucking about was going to try and eurorack it, such a nice dirty fucking delay, probably should try and fix mine.
I know volcas ain’t ideal and there’s a lot of things that are lacking but £100 for a sampler that sounds fucking dope to be fair I have no reason to complain. I guess starting out on a sampler that cost me over a grand and could only sample for a few seconds makes me a bit more tolerable to anything like that on a £100 sampler

Lls

Equally bad in a different way. Instead of being too harsh, it has a digital plastic sheen all over its sound signature and it's a castrated version of the R3 which in turn is a castrated version of the Radias which at least has a 64 step sequencer, drum kits and an almost complete knob per function UI

universal slope generator, sample and hold, control voltage mixer, noise/random source, PLL

Until he becomes a trap?

whats a reasonable price for a monomachine with the keyboard. gonna be getting rid soon

I find a sequencer quite handy.

Reverbs, delays, phasers, flangers, ring mods, noise generator...

sold my korg ms2000 it had neat functionality but something about the way korg builds their synths makes them tinny as fuck with extremely sensitive resonance, was it just me?

The presets are crap but gets it's job done. It was my first synth and the gateway for more. Still keep mine and use it when I need to come up with a particular sound quickly.
After all these years the A12 factory patch can still be heard in many current albums, and I dont blame them

Thanks, I just based my comparison because the look kinda similar. The Crave might sound gr8 but that huge patchbay seems pretty overkill

>Can you not just pick up another one?
Because I have hopes on someone helping me fix it or at least use the delay alone for other gear.
Glad you're enjoying the volca sample, when it starts driving you crazy giving errors while trying to load new samples sell it and get an Electribe (or save up for an MPC that's the real deal and worth every penny). Thank me later

Worse, more menu diving and is correct.
Not a as fun as the mk1, that can at least get noisy af if you want it to

>was it just me?
Nop, they gotten even worse, the filter in the *logues is utter shit. Has less character than the one in the microkorg, so you get the idea

The resonance on the ms2000 and microkorg engine is absolutely off the charts. I'm not sure what a vanilla patch looks like on the ms2k but it's set to 20 by default on the microkorg which produces real nasty sounds. Basically unuseable to my ears. The waveforms are also very impure which is the second part of the equation. If you ever sample it, you will see lots of jaggies and edges everywhere.

If I run an analog monosynth through a digital guitar fx unit, does it lose some of that phat sound?

I was thinking about getting a microkorg S but after seeing this thead, maybe not

what's a good starter synth for an absolute beginner?

Go for it, it's a great starter synth that you can keep around for years. As I stated on a previous post, it was my gateway drug into synths and still keep it +8 years later, just wish it had speakers like the S

based. thanks

definitely recommend the microbrute

so there's like an electrical signal that like loops around at a certain speed and depending on how fast that is it makes different noises also you can change the shape and stuff

Honestly, people who invest more than $2,000 on gear are usually insane. All those Youtube channels with synth spaceships and nothing to show for the money spent are classic examples. There are worse hobbies I guess.

llllllll is the only good gear forum

Man I was looking to get one of those maybe. I really like the VA synths with tons of knobs and faders look.
I'm also interested in several old digitals, but the crap UIs usually turn me off.

I’ve got my volca loaded up with some classic drum machine kits and use it just as a fun drum machine, so don’t really need to keep loading new samples into it. I have a few proper rack samplers for heavy lifting duty. My point wasn’t that the volca sample is a good substitute for a pro sampler it’s not, but it’s a good well featured fun sampler for the price and you can certainly get pretty creative with it. You could say the same about the monotron delay, don’t buy that piece of crap plastic with flimsy jacks, go get yourself a proper rack unit, with high quality stereo delays, 1/4” jacks and mount it in a rack, but for £40 if you’re after a gritty delay unit it’s definitely a good value bit of fun

Thinking about getting a Roland Juno DS88 from Guitar Center for Labor Day weekend. If anybody here owns one, I would love to know your thoughts...

I have an ultranova and I like it quite a bit (for the price). Vocoder I wish was better, but a lot of great patches to mess around with. It’s lasted me 8 years and still have it set up by my bed

i like mine a lot, the presets are vanilla garbage. if you experiment you can get a lot of great sounds out of it. i think the way the "modules" are set up on the 201 is very intuitive and good for a beginner (aka me) to figure out how to patch sounds. although some functions are hidden behind some weird menu explorations

Well observed user and correct you are they have never left the house. The flight cases were given to me and do a great job at housing my modules though.

Korg ms20

ultranova is the fucking tits man.
nova synth engine = 10/10 liquid love

ms20 for all that you have mentioned

Of course I built patches on the thing. That's how I know how limited it is. I was fortunate enough to not get turned off by synthesis in general because all other synths I tried after that were a breeze to work with compared to it.

Yeah same here. I played with REV2, P6, Quantum etc. in the store and didn't really find them inspiring to work with. Prologue seemed nicer. At this point i'm just waiting for the UB-Xa to come out and it'll be my one and done polysynth... Unless they made a Minilogue XD with 6 or more voices.

Reflections were:
VST: No thanks don't like composing/making music in front of computer.
Blofeld: Too much menu diving and build problems.
Monosynths: Can't see why I should get one when there's polysynth and i'm a pianist
Minilogues: 4 voices not enough.
Summit/peak: Interesting but nothing seemed so catchy about them. Probably good tools but not really inspiring.
MODX: Big, fat and FM. Fine for normal duties not for analog.
Sledge, XA and system-8: Seems like a technical comprise there may appeal to some.

Finally had the chance to play the blofeld in a store recently. The demos on youtube are just complete trash. The people uploading them must be deaf.
