- It has midi out so just upgrade Ableton to Suite ideally and you're set, lots of tools, sounds, collect free sample packs for more soundsprophetone
- Sell the 520, buy a used smaller, more useful Novation Launchkey or NI A25 or something... lots of used cheap onesprophetone
- Then you can become next Skrillexprophetone
- @prophetone Amen to these simple, actionable tasks!
*thumbsup*ideaist - pss 580 and you would be talkingkingsteven

- here's the thing... the person who's neck deep into modular, spending mad cash (99% of them), is not going to go 'Behringer' at all in their rackprophetone
- ...yer going with all the cool kids on the scene - ALM, Intellijel, Make Noise, 4ms, Acid Rain, Noise Eng, diy modules - b/c 'budget' is low key sus hereprophetone
- There's a mint Behringer Odyssey synth on my local CL right now wanting $330usd equivalent for it, better to get one of those instead - high features/value.prophetone
- But good on XAOC for calling them out as not coolprophetone
- I'll tell you what tho the bees nest will def get fired up when you start seeing Behringer versions of Maths, Squid Sample, Metropolix, Pam's, Plaits, etcprophetone
- Re: Maths https://imgur.com/yJ… (from a behringer promo video)kingsteven
- i agree but batumi has been an entry level LFO for several years. a bit of a gateway for xaoc systems... its cheaper and smaller than the equivalent doepfer.kingsteven
- the RRP of this one will be tellingkingsteven

Live 11.3 adds Drift, an all-new MPE-capable synth and the first for all editions of Live – including Live Lite. Drift is a characterful device capable of a wide variety of sounds from every era of modern music.
Its minimal layout and interactive controls make adjusting the sound easy for musicians new to synthesis, while the sounds it can produce will give even experienced sound designers a broader sonic palette.
Inspired by classic hardware but borrowing heavily from modern synths and Eurorack modules, Drift has been carefully tuned by ear to deliver great sound at any setting, quickly and easily.
- amazing demo of this little VA monster, great value add for Abletonprophetone

Went nuclear on my modular yesterday.. basically stripped out everything that wasn’t a sequencer, switch or fx.. already sold about 3k.. another 5k to go..
Why? Shits and giggles mostly- Doing the same, funnily enough.mort_
- And got into it around the same time as you I believe.mort_
- of course nothing is ever as easy as it sounds.. downsizing cases means doepfer modules are out, and as a result so is my midi to clock and CV to MIDI modules.autoflavour
- currently looking at 2x Disting mk4 .. would prefer a EX but of course, its too deep.
fucking non skiff friendly modules.autoflavour - Oh yeah. My ES-9 is 50mm deep.mort_
- that said, the 2x Disting 4's are working a treat. can't believe I have been holding off so long. just always hated the idea of so many functions in one module.autoflavour

- NEW Stereo(!), overdubbing, freezing, syncing, fading, filtering, balancing, blending, smoothing, etcprophetone
- The stereo capability alone is a biggie imo for studio integration, plus lots of neat new features... might add to the GAS listprophetone

Do you own a Push 2?
If yes, how do you feel about it?
- Its good for triggering clips and instant hands on control of stuff but i don't use it quite as in-depth as i shouldmicrokorg
- also the rubber on them goes sticky over time.microkorg
- had a push.. I just could never get over the hump of making it more useful than a mouse and keyboard..autoflavour
- That's what I'm afraid of.jagara
- I have a couple launchpads instead. I like clip launching by hand, but would rather do the rest on the computer.section_014

- for real I never understood the appeal of sitting on the floor to make music. this seemed to be a thing in the 70's.. fucking wankersautoflavour

I'm looking for a standalone groovebox to make low-fi demos on that will later be entirely redone elsewhere, in the genre of Air's Moon Safari. More low-fi jazz than pure electro.
Up to $1k.I need a sampling function and great sounding synths to avoid having to connect more gear to it, also need a song mode.
Don't necessarily need midi out, will not be connecting it to a computer.The key being for it to be intuitive and fun to use.
I've had an MPC One and hated its UI though it's without a doubt one of the best machines out there.
Was considering the MC-707 but no song mode, seemed perfect otherwise.Right now it looks like my sweet spot would be between the Roland MV-1 (despite its tiny screen) and NI Maschine +
I haven't looked too deeply into it yet but the Maschine + button setup and interface might be the most logical to me.Would love some recommendations or opinions on these.

Korg Module (for mobile) is astounding and def some good lofi jazz keys!microkorg - There are apps that work like Live/Maschine song/jam modes.microkorg
- iPad
Faderfox EC4 (displays params)
USB Midi Keyboard
--------
WIN! ;)microkorg - Ah.. hadn't considered an ipad at all, and I have a pro haha! I liked the idea of a dedicated machine but I'll check Module and will think about it!spl33nidoru
- Used OP-1 could do all that. Perfect for kicking stems out to be redone elsewhere. Quirky UI thouletterhead
- SP404MK2 is great & tons of fun. Sample synths from the iPad and it becomes an all-in-one grooveboxletterhead
- I had my eyes on the SP404 at some point but got into Koala on ios and realised I didn't want to rely so much on external sources. Good one though!spl33nidoru
- Mate, post the results when you settle on something!
<3 Air. And their ilk.Continuity - Will do!spl33nidoru
- sounds like you are describing and OP-1autoflavour
- ^ I should check its synth engines, always assumed it was sonically closer to a digitakt kind of vibe.spl33nidoru
- hmmmm. digitakt is a sampler so it will play back whatever you load it.. OP-1 doesn't really sound like many other synths in a wayautoflavour
- https://synthstrom.c…sandbag
- Right auto, I meant Digitone.
sandbag, I was checking the Deluge last night, too many good options I don't know how to choose anymore, this will not end well !spl33nidoru - After further research I decided to go with the MV-1 despite its shortcomings. Cheaper all-in-one, great sound engine, so-so sampler but will do the jobspl33nidoru
- And I can use my ipad as ext display to make things easier.
Thanks for your inputs! This guy finished convincing me.
https://youtu.be/SQC…spl33nidoru - ps microkorg and letterhead : Korg Module is def worth integrating through the iPad, and a SP might come in handy later to compensate for MV1' sampling weaknessspl33nidoru

ORIGIN Vintage Plugin (VST, AU) Free Download
https://cymatics.fm/products/ori…
What exactly is Origin?
Origin is a vintage/lofi plugin created to make your samples sound like they’re straight from an old tape machine.The main knob is a resampler/bitcrusher with two special filters to make your samples sound “underwater” (this effect can often be heard in Drake songs)
The other four knobs are Tape Saturation, Noise, Movement, and Chorus. Using these 5 powerful controls you can instantly give your samples a vintage vibe.
*Origin is 64 bit only
- This is cool! It's got the Bibio sound to it that I like so much. https://www.youtube.…mg33
- great stuff. I'll use this for sure. Cheers for the shareIanbolton

Well, it's controller upgrade time. I've had the Nektar LX49 for several years, and wondered why this week the controller mapping wasn't working anymore, and that it wasn't controlling Logic. Maybe I just hadn't used it's controls in a while. Always liked that controller and they're great value for the money. Nektar confirmed they no longer support the LX series on newer Mac OS's and especially the M1 chips.
Sticking with Nektar but upgrading to the Panorama T4. These get great reviews, better keybed than the newer LX49+, and pretty nice to get that LED display in something that's only $249.
- yeah I have a similar issue.. I can't update my OS or laptop until I have enough cash to also replace my interface.. damn legacy hardwareautoflavour
- can't speak to Nektar keyboard tho.. looks fun thoautoflavour
