GAS, not that there's anything wrong with that.

The Pro 3 is a VERY capable synth, and likely covers most of the ground the k2 covers. One thought though: would a gigging musician take their >1000 bucks synth to a live gig risking beer spills etc, or take a sub $200 box... And indeed, 'need' has nothing to do with it. 😀

@@abominablemusic yes

Indeed, after working with this box over the last few days, I have to say, it does sound good.

@@abominablemusic I can definitely feel the Classic Doctor Who and sci-fi B-movie vibe. Lovely pure tones in there as well as the dirty growl it's known for. I'm sorely tempted myself!

Given where Windows are going, I think Linux adoption is going to increase, the hardware vendors will have to evolve.

Thanks mate!

sure, keyboard, pitch bend and mod wheel will be fine for playing a VSTi. Cheers!

Ah, I think the se was a 'lite' version, but I'm sure it's possible, maybe via USB. Modal seemed to have got the software side pretty sorted, I think I still have their app on my phone. You could try that.

no worries!

what! yes, that's super useful! I wonder if the Grind can do this too - that would be useful.

I'm not even sure which instrument my bow belongs to. Also, it would likely sound better using a well maintained and rosin-fed bow.

@@abominablemusic hi, I'm pretty sure you were using a cello bow. We have a violin if you want to have a go with a narrower bow sometime let me know and I'll bring it over.

@@garystringa6 I don't mind borrowing it as long as no strings are attached...

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Enjoy the bundle, this is still my primary case and I use it all the time!

@@abominablemusic Kick ass. Yeah it's pretty insane. And enough to make you mad at times. Lol Love it. :) Keep on jammin man. Preciate.

Nice little desktop unit!

Glad to hear. Likewise, really enjoying mine.

fair enough!

Indeed, I've already played the reface with my Z1 keys, which was a blast. Yea, cp on my shopping list.

@@abominablemusic by the way its Pianoteq 8 electric keyboards that is stopping me from making the cp purchase and should be looked into. Hardware is becoming obsolete but gets more views…..I’m leaving comments. Who knows maybe a comparison video….anyway as you already know that dx is super cool and the reface series is turning into a legend. Dang I just might have to get the YC and complete the journey.

Ah yes, I've seen this on Juno.

8 operators! Wow, would love to play with that!

Actually, it only has four operators, the GS2 has two.

@@SpookyAlien-2001 I admit I don't understand the architecture, the GS-1 always sounded more rich than the DX-7, assumed it was because of the 8 operators. Electronic music wiki has this: The 8-operator voice architecture was not as impressive as it sounds, since the synth gave the user no choice of algorithms; the only algorithm available divided the operators into four separate carrier-modulator pairs, meaning that the types of complex modulations which the DX7 could do with two fewer operators were not available. Nonetheless, the GS1 was considered a breakthrough at the time that it was released.

It's a DX7ii in rack

Big rack mount synth, don't mind it! My Wavestation is the rack version.

We care

You can go wrong with the original DX7 (mono output, mono midi, mono waveforms-sines only) .look at Stock, Achin' &Wateredownman... Of course if you're trying to emulate cheesy SAW stuff then, yeah ok you've bought the right DX....

Thumbs-up for all the effects, I've many synths with no effects so I'm always hunting for reverb or delay pedals...

Yea, I think FM went out of fashion as folks went after 'analogue' sounding synths. Gotta say, playing with the Reface is a blast.

The later ones are updates so actually better. Good choice

Folks seem to love the e piano flavour of the Reface. So I think this is on my shopping list...

Ah yes, modular vs hardware, where control voltage, clock, and MIDI meet (and often don’t play well). I’m not familiar with the 960 sequencer, but I’m guessing the Control Input accepts ‘clock’. Annoyingly, the CM!A doesn’t output the clock component of the MIDI input, although will put out Gate. I think the decision to make is what is the device that will determine the tempo. I think this would be the Electron. Then MIDI out from the Electron to CM1A, then use the Gate out into the 960 seq. That might work? Or, if you have another module that inputs or outputs clock, the could help. The Electron might have a dedicated clock out (if would be 3.5 mm output), this should run the 960. Let me know how you get on!

Hum, just looking at the manual for the elektron rhytm mk2, no dedicated clock out (surprising, most Korg synths have this now, although this is largely to support the volca range). So, yea, maybe use the elektron as Master and MIDI out to CM1A.

@@abominablemusic Thank you very much for your answers! Still no sync with the AR on my side, I will try with the Analog four tonight, I will tell you my results :)

@@abominablemusic Update: I managed to modify the tempo of the 960 sequencer via the elektron! In fact I now pass a midi IN cm1a cable to midi OUT of the arturia keystep and from the midi in of the midi keystep to the midi OUT of the elektron. My sequence on the 960 sequencer is not well synchronized with the elektron, I really have the impression that it is shifting. I will see if I can improve the synchronization by modifying some parameters of the keystep (Seq / Time Div / Rate). Maybe my midi chain is too long to synchronize a modular sequencer. Thank you for your help

@@tearoflead1938 Arturia keystep defo has Sync Out on 3.5mm cable, I'm pretty sure you could use this to clock the 960. Sometimes electronic music feels like doing a PhD!

Thanks! 😀

indeed! I actually went hunting yesterday, but didn't find anything interesting. One charity shop had a child's tongue drum, but I decided to leave it (as I write this, I'm regretting that decision!).

Ah, good point. They might, in the future, as Windoze are doing their best to loose customers. I actually rarely use the app, I tune using my DAW, and don't need to change the MIDI channel, but yea, I hear you...

Yea, these sample instruments have their own quirks, sometimes they are 'accurate' recreations, but often the team have tried to create something new and different.

Oh no, hope I didn't accidentally plagiarize something...

@@abominablemusic No, I don’t think you have, it just reminded me of something, still can’t remember what though! 😆

Oo, I feel a remix coming on!

yea, I use this synth all the time now!

It's a quirky little synth, but nothing sounds quite like it!

Ah yes, that much more useful than my explanation! Cheers!

Spring Loaded! I love it!

Terry Riley, what a legend. Have you seen the 'In C' documentary from, I think, the BBC. Adrian Utley was involved. Great stuff, it's on YT...

that's a good idea! I have a spare input on my audio interface, so I'd just need to figure out how to split the signals so I have wet and dry on different channels. I see a follow-up on the horizon! Thanks!

@@abominablemusicI didnt realize it until now, but you dont have an analog mixer? If not then I dont know but if yes, then you can split it by goung ditect out from the mixers return channel (the one where your wet fx is on) and send this to your interface. Thats what I gathered and what I also need to test out, I unlike you just dont have more than stereo input on my interfac (UAD solo) so I need to find another way/upgrade first 😅

Thanks, the pedal now lives on my desk so it's always ready!

Word, I think it's under-rated, and I use mine a lot. Actually, I need to double my modular so I'll be tracking it again later! Yea, I might get another! Cheers

Indeed, happy accident machine! Cheers!

Thanks! Need to revisit this technique...

indeed, I mean two separate outputs, ok, cool, oh, it's just a duplicated output... In fairness, this is likely the cheapest MIDI to CV module out there!

Thanks, always been a fan of radio, so I try and sneak it into my work, if only the noise!

Thanks, I actually just set up the same combo for another track. If it's too warm to sleep, I'll escape to my basement for some late night tracking...

Yea, I don't use mine ALL the time, but when I need it, it really hits the spot!

ah nice one, I didn't know that but it makes sense! Cheers!

Howard Jones - what a legend!

Thanks very much. Recovery Effects make some interesting things! They are currently working on a percussion synth, lots of pure data and daisy flashing stuff going on... Cheers!

Yea, Recovery Effects make some whacky stuff!

It's a good question!! Weird right! It's largely the Mystic, a sort of fm drone synth, but I'm using the arithmetic function of the volca modular so it's a sort of 'additive' artifact. I think...
