ryryoftokyo wrote:$1,100 USD? No thanks. I'll go buy an Arturia Minibrute.

That's MSRP. Based on what Moogs retail for vs MSRP, it'll probably be more like what, $1k? Not a huuge difference, but still..

See if you can find a Tascam US-122 or 144 interface, it's both a MIDI and Audio interface, and it's pretty inexpensive. The Mk2 models are newer, but I don't think there's too much difference.

If you can find anything that's compatible with the KiwiTechnics Patch Editor on the cheap, that's another option (though used VAs will get you knobs/sliders for cheaper, similar sounds to the MicroKorg though.. Novation has a lot of cool ones)

Aside from the GX-1 on ITtOD, it seems like the VCS3 was the synth on most Zeppelin tunes, if this page is accurate: http://www.reocities.com/jpjkeys/emsvcs3.html

The Crunge and Four Sticks certainly have that weird, buzzy sound, don't they?

Thanks!

Hey guys! Haven't posted in a minute because I've been busy wrapping up my first original release thing. BEHOLD. http://f0.bcbits.com/z/19/42/1942093182-1.jpg Listenable here: http://thehairkid.bandcamp.com/album/electrohop I'd be glad to run down which synths were used for what. Probably the straig...

I've done it with cheapie fostex's (plus a roland keyboard amp for a bit of extra beef) and seen it done with.. either genelecs or dynaudios it'll be a little weird since studio monitors are super direction based - might be based to elevate them above crowd level. either way make sure they're out of...

So it seems like the CS-15 and MB are both really cool synths at a nice price point.. going back to my original post (especially now that more people have played with the MB), let's say I have the good fortune of having a Model D to take care of - between the CS-15 and the MB, V/Hz vs Oct aside, do ...

Out of your choices.. SH-201 = polyphonic VA, good interface to learn synthesis, but I'm not a fan of how it sounds Mopho keys = monophonic analog, sounds quite nice and has a pretty good knobby interface as well, but you're only going to get one note at a time if that's important to you Alpha Juno ...

I've found that when searching for where to put a vocal, it's actually really good to check on a pair of small, ratty speakers like these eco-speakers you can usually find at Radio Shack or Five Below for like $5: http://rarebirdfinds.typepad.com/rare_bird_finds/images/2008/05/18/eco_speaker.jpg A r...

I think the most important thing is that the Mono Lancet is more of a classic sounding mono, whereas the Minibrute seems to have a very unique character (not that either can't get into the other's territory, but still) - decide which appeals to you more! They both seem to be great synths.

this one! http://www.analoguehaven.com/stgsoundlabs/com/ (it's confusing that the module name looks like the end of a url haha)

the first question that springs to my mind is how long are the samples and what kind are they? loops? one shots? things that need to be played at different pitches? more info plz

do it, get the expander (it gives you access to the pulse widths of both oscillators), something like a tiptop happy ending kit, and a STG soundlabs .com module (modeled after rolands sub-osc circuit from the 80s if I'm not mistaken) something like an mfb dual lfo, the forthcoming intellijel quad fu...
