I like it. I reminds me of the speakers I first starting making music on, on the old family PC trying to squeeze as much out of a pirated fruityloops 3.6 copy and free vst plugins.

Probably has been posted around before but it's a new one to me and pretty fun, popped up on my youtube feed. (audio of space age bachelor magazine interview)

Yeah I mean I was in my teens and twenties back then. My post history here is cringe.

Damn that last one is really nice, instantly likeable, listened to the whole thing and enjoyed it immensely

Warning, totally longer than intended rambling rant about my setup below, I started typing and couldn't stop. No need to read this: I've come to the conclusion I'm going to sell my A4 and model d and sequence plugins instead for a while until I decide I actually think I want to treat myself to something else new. I already just bought some new stuff recently, going to see how far I get with that with a few plugins to fill it out. diva still sounds better than the a4, and phaseplant can do all the wavetable/fm stuff I want. Then throw a couple real analog bits in there and call it a day. Also, I did end up buying the hapax and do not regret my decision, and I've already tried sequencing plugins with it and it works fine. have a weird-ass crazy hybrid studio setup but it's actually pretty cool, though some workflow stuff still needs to be practiced. My daw is the clock and transport control, but I'm using a faderport 8 (I like them motorized controls) and I can use that to control my DAW when I'm next to my hardware, rough leveling, arming tracks to record, jump between cue markers. Then I can us my hapax to sequence and automate everything I want (including plugins sometimes), it's following the clock and transport too. Everything routes in through the audio interface and I can multitrack and use ITB effects for everything and automate lots of stuff. Really kind of a new workflow because typically I came from a purely daw world where everything was in one place, and then for the last few years made a drastic switch to pure hardware, which was incredibly enlightening from a creative standpoint to learn new ways of doing things and realizing it both limited me but also created new ways of working I'd never considered (tactile sequencing and p-locks, knob twiddling, analog mixing, live pattern changing). Now going back to a DAW partially, and it's again incredibly enlightening, working with audio instead of a piano roll and focusing more on mixing and effects than I ever did before while maintaining the kind of hardware-based approach to sequencing and building tracks that I developed over the years. The music I've been able to make on this kind of setup is some of my favorite I've done since I started making music.

yeah tbh it's probably foolish and not what I want or need right now, more than I paid for my OB6. If I'm going to pay that much, should consider a Waldorf kyra (or m or iridium), or get into eurorack, or get a microwave xt, or a tooro (this might be the ticket), or a million other things.

No it's a crazy fixed arch synth but is has a good mod matrix. It is a poly analog desktop synth that has mechanical keyboard switches and motorized faders, 4 layers, 12 voices, 4 outputs, MPE support. 2 VCOs and a wavetable osc. It's only got a single moog-style lowpass VCF though, so somewhat limited there. Stupidly expensive, I probably shouldn't buy one.

I'm thinking about retiring my analog four, as cool as it's sequencer is. I was looking at the melbourne instruments nina since they seem to be $600 off msrp in a lot of shops right now, they seem to be very cool and have a morphing function, and 4 part multi-timbral with individual outs if you want so in some ways similar to the a4 but just a much cooler powerhouse of a synth. That unfortunately leads to another quagmire, I ran out of inputs on my audio interface (focusrite 18i8). One of the nicest thing about elektron is being able to use overbridge to get audio data into your daw without messing with audio drivers. How do people deal with so many instruments, I guess I need some kind of ADAT pre-amp to add more channels?

He used to get almost as much hate here as the flahbulb. People here were so super narrow minded about music on here. imaginary pissing contests between great artists. Looking back they are all amazing and did amazing things in their own ways and made their own impacts.

Soog e is funny. Collab with boards of canada. Body pads sounds like a prototype for "in a room" last track is pretty cool too.

whoa he played that novation afx station track? Have we ever heard that full track of that before? I kind of forgot about that.

"DGITNE TST1E." I bet this features the elektron digitone in some regard

If I was able to get a physical copy though, I wouldn't be disappointed. korg 1b is one of my favorite tracks ever

Something "mastering chain" maybe. Standard mastering chain he uses when mastering his own stuff? Optimal Mastering Chain? Could also be Optical MultiBand Compressor http://www.tube-tech.com/smc-2b-multiband-opto-compressor/. Or "On My Couch".

Can confirm Jon Hopkins does a pretty fun live set.

That test track is really cool. What is your approach to drum programming? I really like the style, I think I detect a bit of swing in there too. Do you record back into the DAW when you are sequencing? I'm moving into a DAW hybrid sort of approach which is why I ask.

Wanna buy my m8?

There surely is some sort of link to the all the tracks stil somewhere right? archive.org or something?

Orgasmic Mastering Compressor. EDIT: maybe O = ozone. Aphex back to DAWs.

I feel like thats sort of the direction I'm heading in. Been using a set of gear for years, mostly focused around the octatrack, I feel like I finally got pretty good at doing what I wanted to do with it. I really want to get back to the kind of sequencing I used to do via the energyXT piano roll and have struggled with some workflow things after completing my last album. I'm really excited by some of the mixing techniques I've been employing ITB but I don't like sequencing there still. One thing I don't like about working with the octatrack is that midi sequences are tied pretty closely to the drum sequences/samples, and then the patterns are synced with the a4 and those are also tied 1-1, I use the a4 for cv sequencing. Additionally, I have to tie two patterns together to get longer than four bar loops, which I often want (it's fine it's just yet another thing to keep track of and remember to hold pattern and press two buttons instead of one). What appeals to me about the Hapax, for example, is being able to treat it as an external machine that I can trigger drum break loops from separately from a longer melodic structure, seems the patterns can be quite long and I can send program changes quite easily within a track. Having more centralized sequencer for melodies and tying everything together feels like the right move for me to achieve the kind of creative bliss I yearn for. Oh yeah but back to my original point, I like the idea of semi modulars in cases. I may also go down that route especially if I pick up a hapax.

I really like Steinvord, but I don't think it's either tom or rich. The mixing style is very different than anything either have done

Do you happen to to do a lot of modular? Seems like the oxi is good for cv connectivity.

What do you like working with the most? Any of those feel like the ones you want to keep? I'm sort of thinking of just getting a hapax and seeing what I gel with the workflow.

Same, I just updated my vote accordingly
