ok gotcha. bought it already ?

just digitals rite or am i missing something

i was logged in pretty early but totally missed there were vinyls for sale in the merch section. i was contemplating the slipmat but the utlimately decided my current Warp slipmat was fine. ugh

hi. good question. i'm still using it though i would say that its my most niche synth. programming it can be tricky and i would say its harder to find the sweet spots than most other synths i have. sometimes its easier to start with a regular fm synth and then added the grunge i'm looking for somehow. i would say the biggest drawback is that a having long release on the adsrs gets really noisey, really fast. i know thats something that is desirable in some cases but definitely not all. I run it through a lowpass filter with an envelope follower prettry frequently for pads. that being said, I still think its worth the money and i'm glad I have it. the hardware still all works fine but its just been sitting on my desk this whole time so i'm not sure how it would have gotten broken anyway. it does percussion really well, and bass stuff as well. The main drawback is that its not super precise to program so for me its better to start experimenting with it earlier in a track and let it define part of the palate of the track, rather than going for it at the end of a track thinking "i need this specific sound", because its probably going to be easier to dial it in on another synth.

i never understood the idea that doubling the amount of meat in a burger makes it twice as good. flavor is not cumulative i that way. insanity

dope interview. also, that scarf is out of control

gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

i was listening to this track but then my speakers blew out like halfway through

what did they do? also i think it has changed hands again? i think it was run by some australians for a little while and was not doing well and now is run by some guy in the NE US who has run a synth shop for a while and is reputable. im not sure, nor do i have strong opinions either way. also this is tiptop audio in collaboration with them, who i think is also pretty respected. im not a huge modular head (software ftw in this regard) so i dont know

i have no room in my life/house for this but will say it looks dope and affordable https://tiptopaudio.com/buchla/

lots of ways to interpret what i wrote but i’m not sure fear of getting old is entirely it. i think it’s more about being stuck listening to what is my generation’s version of a classic rock figure head. i’m going to be whatever age i am but that doesn’t mean i have to keep listening to a band that peaked in the late nineties. ….i’d rather be listening to tod dockstader

ah ok. i did a search for damirat but nothing came up. good to know about the discount

came across this because i'm following scanner on bandcamp and checkout what he buys. these people seem to have the ep7/cornfed sound down pretty well https://dingndents.bandcamp.com/album/ankersteng https://dingndents.bandcamp.com/album/iraer-tiaroe

radiohead is good but every time i listen to them i feel like im turning into my dad listening to Pink Floyd or something so i have to stop

i picked up a copy of Singularity a while back at a record store that wont be named and the owner told me '10 out of 10, album of the year'. Let me tell you it wasn't. But yeah hopkins plays this weird role thats kinda like tim hecker for total softies in terms of bridging over the pitchfork crowd. they wouldnt last a day in these threads tho

doesn't seem like the self-help crowd around here

the long goodbye

Too soon? - Eric Clapton

It's not a deal breaker - 2 second gap between tracks that is only really noticeable on the segue between rupt and vex. Also a glitch one minute into monastic. i ended up buying all these already ? i did notice some visible warping on one of the records but it sounds ok to my ears. the glitches are there too. oh well! its been nice to become familiar with these records since i mainly listened to quique and the polyfusia cd

pr0drd and yes, i do own a mini disk player

rip

also that mc303 is the size of a small desk
