  1. I suppose I can say that I've got one now that it's leaked. 

    It's good. Really good. Much deeper than it appears, you just have to do some tricks (much like the other Elektrons). I'll save the details for the video dump tomorrow, but I'm gonna defend this to the death, because the haters are wrong. 

    It's actually the reason why I also bought the Model:Samples.

  2. It's got sequencers and an arpeggiator. Not quite a TR/Elektron style sequencer, but you can definitely make auto-playing patterns with it. That said, it's basically temporary pattern storage rather than something where you can store hundreds of patterns. 

  3. I think my modular experiments are coming to an end. I decided at some point last year that I should either keep expanding in order to be able to make full tracks in a modular environment, or downsize to maintain a concise, single voice and/or effects/filter rack. I decided on the second option. It's about half the size of what it was at its peak and now I'm considering downsizing even more, maybe even to just my Intellijel palette case. Dealing with MIDI to CV has been the bane of my existence the whole time as well, and I'm getting a bit sick of it tbh. 

    I think I'm just generally more inspired by the potential to exploit fixed architecture synths.

    (I still want the Wavestate, but I've cooled off a little)

  4. As ridiculous as Robin's requests were, at the end of the day it was a bit of a dick move of Behringer to just go ahead with an exact clone of the Devilfish mod. 

    I'm kinda done with this Behringer clone stuff now. I'm not against anyone buying them, but I personally won't be buying any, even after having my eye on the Neutron and/or Wasp for a little while.

    If you guys were to take some pills for your gassyness, do you think you'd be able to make consistently good albums with just a few pieces of gear?

     

     

    I've made some of my (imo) best stuff using cheap (or free) gear/software. I buy synths because they're fun to mess around with.

    Looking at some fancier Epiphone LP's and they're about 70% of the cheaper Gibsons. Is there a big difference?

    Unsolicited advice: don't buy a new one. Big brand guitars (ie. Gibson and Fender) are overpriced for what they are, and have been for decades. 

    For the price, you'd probably get more out of a nice condition (or even something a bit worn with character) second hand Gibson from the 90s or earlier, than whatever they're pumping out these days. 

    Back to your original question though: I've played a few Epiphones and they're great. I have a $150 super entry level "LP Special" that I use as my doom metal guitar, it sounds awesome and is nice to play.

    I agree but to me part of that sound is the aliasing and pitching samples down until they sound like Satan's trash compactor.

    Very true. I have the SY22 for that though ? I'm really keen on this because it sounds legitimately lush and very much in line with what I've been getting into lately. I'll give it a few months of cooling off time before I go selling something and potentially regretting it though, haha.

  8. Yeah honestly thats a main reason why I want it. That late-80s to mid-90s rompler sound really does it for me, and it looks much easier to edit than the original synths from around that time.

    Does the Argon8 contain full length samples or just single cycle waves?

  9. don't care, sounds great, I love Barker's stuff

    edit: I don't hear anything pre-recorded in there? He's definitely building it up on the spot, I don't think it makes sense to completely design every sound from scratch if you've only got 10 minutes
