I meant to say i'm (imaginatively) behind the ORANGE 2600. Srsly do you really need 2 2600's and A 2500. Jelly.

[Brandi_B]

who the fack is that?

[Guest placidburp]

lol

[Brandi_B]

yeah...this is my actual setup pretty much

 

 

I miss all of my hardware. I regret selling all of it now.

In this pic there should be a: Akai s2000 sampler w/ zip, Yamaha tx802, Clavia Nord Lead 1, Waldorf Microwave xt, Korg Es-1, Korg ESX-1, Nord Modular g1, and all the circuit bent stuff I made that i just threw away b/c i was sick of it being a mess of cables and falling apart all the time. Use your imaginations plz. It's pretty lol that out of all that stuff the only thing that survived is my Casio cz-1. Oh I had a dave smith evolver too which sounded amazingly fantastic, but I don't regret selling it b/c the interface drove me mad and the software editor was laggy as hell and was a horrible waste of 50 frickin dollars.

there is a special place in hell for people that sell their nord modulars.

your sins have been absolved.

Well what happened was: I was going to buy it from my friend. So he let me go ahead and have it (while just paying when i had extra cash) since we've known each other forever and i gave him like 100 bucks on it at the get go. I was super psyched and loving it and it was all gravy. Then about a month later i went to give him another 50 and he's like "let me sell it so i can buy addictive drums and i'll give you my extra AD license to you". I couldn't really refuse that offer b/c addictive drums is best (acoustic) drum program I've ever used. He also gave me my 100 bucks back b/c he solditfor100 more than he was selling it to me :)

 

I will say this though. He got the NM in, errr....around 2000. I played with it everytime i was over at hisplace, and everytime we did a song together i requested being ableto use it, which i did and it was out of this world. However as the years have gone on and the g2 free software came out, going "back" to the g1 seemed kind of stale and i was missing a LOT of the features I've gotten used to in the g2 demo. Plus as silly as it seems, not having a good delay suddenly made a HUGE difference. I know its not hard to add a delay to the chain but there's just something about having it there in the signal chain, esp. the mod delays. So I wasn't that upset about it, except that I knew i wouldn't be able to afford a g2 any time soon. However I've just gotten a new job with an actual decent pay, full time...so if i'mvery careful with my money I should be able to get one in a few months. It's still my number one synth priority. I get lusty for other stuff, especially some of the dsi stuff, elektron, etc but I always go back to saying "but I have to buy a g2 first".

 

I went to the guitar center in atlanta when i was there to see family about 3 years ago..maybe more. I spent 2 full hours in the store, even asked the guy if he could hook it up to a laptop which he did (store was dead...day before thanksgiving i think). I sat there forever and it was set in stone from first hand experience that it is indeed a badass synth. And I didn't even get to process audio/vocals with it! I loved my NL 1 but when i got the waldorf xt i felt, for the time, pretty covered in the va area (was starting to get some vsts and have always had vaz modular since 99 or pretty much the yearit came out). However i really just miss the interface. I mean the sound is great too, that classic nord sound, plus the unison on the nl1 is much different (in a good way) than the 2, 3, and imo nm. But anyway, nl 1 is kinda limited. BUt the g2 (or g2x if i can FIND one) is part of that set up that i like, and it's not hard to build a nl 1 in the editor.

edit: sorry for some jumbled up words, my niece ripped my space bar off my laptop and it hasn't been the same since :(

My studios a bit like

[Guest Blanket Fort Collapse]

those axioms look awesome, there was nothing like them when i was looking for a midi controller 3 or 4 years ago, ima get one soon

[chassis]

It pretty impressive. But Im like a 16 year old with great tits, not using it to its potential.

[Guest placidburp]

HA!

[Brandi_B]

my friend has an axiom. They feel great and the knobs, wheels, and sliders are good but the pads are quite lame imo. Too rigid.

[kcinsu]

I dunno.... I tried an axiom pro at guitar center, and it felt like a horribly cheap piece of crap. plasticy, sticky knobs/sliders... uninspiring keys. all of it just felt awful.

[Guest chax]

go with the novation nocturn keyboard instead

[Retape]

or just get a seperate midi controller for different purposes.

 

but I guess they'll clog up the 2 USB ports you have on your macbooks.

Exatly how I feel, I never use the pads for drums. Maybe just to trigger an audio sample, but they are very stiff.

well, yeah you're spot on, but in the price range they feel great compared to other stuff. At least the keys are a decent size. It's noisy as hell too. The keys are just clunkity and annoy me when my friend and I are working on stuff.

Berk, I'd love to twiddle you knobs any day.

[Brandi_B]

Here's the rest of my setup atm:

 

 

 

 

I thought when I deleted all my pirated stuff a few years back that I would get some sort of satisfaction out of having the legal versions. I do in terms of functionality, reliability, and supporting developers, but it's just not the same as showing off a big ol knobby thing with keys :/

 

edit: synthi, phatmatik pro, and albino are demos.
