Re: A Modular Polysynth - Mental Exercise
Thinking about the extremely narrow market for analog polysynths, it occurred to me that the best way to be successful to is just be all things to all people. With that in mind, I began an interesting mental exercise for a "modular" polysynth: 1. 61, 76, 88-key chassis, completely empty except for ...

Jarre - Oxygene Blade Runner (Just been watching the 'workprint' version on the 5 DVD box set, interesting seeing it w/o a lot of the well known music themes...) 70s Prog - Genesis, Floyd, Wakeman. While I liked the fact the...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't some high end processing equipment (e.g., the 1176) get a lot of love due to the colouration from the VCA? Yes, I've heard a lot of people bypass the compression in the 1176 just to pass signal through it's output transformer. Neve's are famous for their transfo...

No, it's bidirectional: MIDI to voltage, voltage to MIDI. Sensors are just voltages. You can tell it to do whatever you like, so that includes CV and triggers. Hook one (or more) up to a USB MIDI interface and it'll do what the OP asked. I think you're still missing the OPs point, he's after a CV b...

im looking forward to the mythical moog guitar According to this: http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2008/05/moog-guitar-review-spotted.html and Sonicstate, it's not mythical - it does actually exist ...

No, that involves MIDI, and it's sensors -> MIDI. I think what the OP was after was CVs (via USB/ PC card) directly from your computer sequencer.madtheory wrote:Max/ MSP and this:

Is that I was in a store yesterday and when they asked me 900 euros for a Micro-Q I said I would have to think, specially because there is the Blofeld now (of course I wouldn't think as the price was just insanely high...), to which he replied I shouldn't compare as the sound on the older Waldorf M...

or does the midi thru totally bypass the sq80 so to speak in the first place? It doesn't - every step in a daisy chain introduces lag. Not entirely true. Many synths have a proper hardware MIDI thru - this is not processed in any way, just goes through an opto-isolator/buffer. Don't know about the ...

Here's where I think we are in 30 years: Sampling ... 100TB would be an average size I guess, just imagine what would all fit into 100TB. btw, in '94 orso my PC's HD was 420MB, now 14 years later I've more than 1TB in total, that's over 20x growth. With this pace in 30 years we'll have 400 TB hardd...

Re: Octave Kitten or Powertran Transcendant 2000??
Oh and am I going nuts or did there used to be a Buyer's Guide section round here? There used to be, but PPL kept posting in the wrong place so they ditched it. Re your Q, don't really know either, but the Kitten has mixable -1 & -2 octave sub oscs & waveforms, so I reckon it may sound more than ha...
