oh man this thing is slow to load in the west coast of the US

-- clears cache --

the cover kinda reminds me of this - but more metroid and less sonic waterfalls? anyway, cool stuff.

8 pages already. nerds.

Were the records stored in the binder the entire time?

logic user. dope.

i was more of a mushroom jazz kid myself

yaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

on top of that she is statistically more likely to survive covid if there's an outbreak in the whitehouse compared to Warren. I'd get pretty nervous with from having two septuagenarians running the whole country during this mess. sorry if that is ageist ? another thing is that looking ahead, if biden does one term and passes the torch to harris you've effectively got a chance at a solid 12 years of an administration thats a direct legacy of the obama administration. im sure biden learned a lot from those years and that stuff would get passed to harris. pretty optimistic thinking tho

sorry but this is the first bit of good news in like 6 months and im going to savor it. y'all haters can go hate in your pods

just saw this at an online store. all the studio essentials:

ban please

Maybe vintage gear, however the cost you need to run a decent sounding home studio has never been cheaper. For the amount that it used to cost you to rent a week in a studio, you can build a decent home recording setup. As a result, people are spending less time/money in recording studios. Most recording studios have gone under, and the ones that still exist struggle and have to diversify their business quite a bit.

i drooled a bit

I'm sure Obama would rather wait for Joe to do it anyway.

oh yeah, i'd say the build quality is good. I dont worry about breaking it. I think its a limit of the chip, but I find the shape of the envelopes to be a bit fiddly. It's easy to go from really long decays to what to short, so I have to be careful there. I have noticed on occasion I have to move a slider around a bit to get it to 'catch', but I think this is a common issue with digitally driven synths from analog style controls and not too far off from my experience with using some midi controllers on softsynths.

I generally agree with out, FM synths are digital and there are plenty of great FM soft-synths out there, or other synths that do FM on top of other type of things. In the case of the MegaFM, the chip has a specific character that I think would be hard to duplicate exactly. It's pretty lo-fi but since there are two chips and some cool detuning options, it can be quite lush at the same time. So far I like it a lot. I'm only a week in to having it but I'm trying to pull as many sounds from it as possible right now. I managed to get some good kicks, snares, and hats out of it with some tweaking. I'm going to be mostly focused on getting some leads and pads over the next few days. It has a good preset save/recall system, but I'm also sampling it into Logic with the new multisampler, which is pretty sweet. The character is pretty distinct, so unless you are doing chiptune music, I dont think you would want this to be your only synth. However it sounds so unique that I'm quickly satisfied with sounds I get out of it, even when they were relative simple to put together. That being said, given that there are 3 lfos that can be assigned to anything (including which FM algorithm is being used), that the lfos can modulate each other and be sync'ed via midi clock, means I can get some pretty wild long sequences of sounds out of it. I spent some time jamming around with those kind of things and I need to cut them up and whatnot. I havent really played around with the arpeggiator yet but it seems nifty.

I bought it through their site on a preorder but I don’t think the price has changed https://twisted-electrons.com/product/megafm/

Been playing with the megafm and it’s pretty dope. 12 voice polyphony to boot. Being able to modulate the algos with lfos is a secret trick for sure

how many great musicians must be destroyed by eurorack?!?

i really like the fear ratio but i definitely enjoy dirty breaks and atmospherics so maybe im a sucker. got TCBS spinning at the moment and enjoying it quite a bit
