I met Chris many years ago when he was trying to get OSC off the ground. I had a few Wasps and an OSCar, but I don't recall the Spider being his work - anyone know for sure? Chris has been widely credited with the Akai S1000 design too, which I thought was more the work of David Cockerell and Tim Orr.

I don't know if anyone here has bought a new M-32 post-V2 firmware (unlikely I imagine), but if so, did it come with an updated manual? I ask as the Grandmother Dark has one and the M-32's online V2 manual supplement doesn't really cut it for all the new shortcuts. In the meantime, Anton Anru has pr...

I wish Behringher would just fucking stop with this.

Yeah, your wish is Behringer's command...

As with most consumer choices, when or if this appears it will be a matter of individual responsibility and liberty. Just make an informed decision.

Sending everything through the same filter and VCA seems a bit limiting. Do you agree?

Yes. The obligatory Moog filter is perhaps not best suited to the Subharmonicon in any case.

aah. a climate change denier. I'll bow out at this point then. cheers If that's aimed at me then you're mistaken; I've worked with people on all sides of the debate from Sir John Rose to Caroline Lucas. However, when Western society venerates a child who claims she can see carbon dioxide it's not j...

Roland A-01K. You can still find it if you hunt around - I got one the other week for £110 brand new. 25 keys, CV/gate out, simple sequencer, DIN MIDI in/out and USB. A4-size footprint.

So as a beginner on a budget, who wants to build slowly.... I've been looking at : Behringer Model D + adding a Sequencer Moog Mother-32 Behringer System 55 Arturira Micro or Mini Brute (Just so I have something that makes sounds immidiately plus a keyboard for the rack later) A Mother-32 could dri...

'little Greta' is pretty much spot on btw, unless a future where you're either on fire or underwater sounds good to you... Greta is a child with what many medical practitioners regard as a mental disorder. She's being used by adults who should know better and is certainly not qualified to offer sci...

Needs a remix. Not enough existential angst.

I agree that the Grandmother is an excellent starting point; it sounds very good, is easy to use and expandable. It's also the best value of the current Moogs.

I had one for a couple of weeks. It took over my rig, which was both impressive and annoying; my productivity improved but I didn't feel I had much to do with it.

looks like Juno deal on these is now dead, back up to $800 there.

It's out of stock in most places. Cheapest 'in stock' UK price seems to be £749.

Feel free to ask anything except my feelings on Behringer (I don't want to get sued and I have plenty of non-public information framing my feelings, but if you meet me in person and buy me a drink I have been known to chatter) and I'll answer to the best of my ability! Great to see you in this thre...

Bought a new Roland A-01 in PMT's autumn sale for just £111 inc delivery; thought these underrated Boutiques were long gone. Icing on the cake was the included K-25m, which was not even mentioned in the listing.

A good CR-78 recreation needs to emulate the workflow as well as the sounds. The button combinations, ability to mute voices, and original patterns are a big part of that. Metamatic, Heart of Glass and, yes, In the Air Tonight would have sounded very different without them. In Foxx's and Collin' ca...

Not forgetting the Ikea Öldåligtdftermiddag shelving. Wouldn't it be sensible for Muffs to have just one gear identification thread?

A proper recreation needs to have the original preset patterns and mutes not just the sounds. They're in the original manuals anyway, you can program them [snip] What are "original mutes"?

half-arsed like the TT

Why do you say that?

See the part of the sentence you didn't quote:

'a proper recreation needs to have the original preset patterns and mutes not just the sounds'.

This is the first boutique that has given me gas. Want somebody make a CR78 , and no the TT one isn’t close enough for me. I thought the Boutique series was dead and buried but the TR-06 spec looks good. A Boutique CR-78 is long overdue as long as it isn't half-arsed like the TT- or proposed Behrin...

the five trigger outs on the TR-06 surely means it deserves its own thread? For anyone with a semi-modular, eurorack or just a few monosynths this look like a hugely useful controller. don't miss the trigger IN. Yeah, there's a demo from Roland Japan of a guy feeding one of the trigs-outs into the ...

Curious how that CV/gate is addressed for a poly though. Low, high, or last note priority?

Last note priority.

here are a lot of dry demos...it sounds authentic and great

Yep.

Check out the J3PO demo. It sounds very authentic with effects - instant Japan/Sakamoto. Or Icehouse, if you like that sort of thing ...

Never cared for the sound of the TR-606 but the five trigger outs on the TR-06 surely means it deserves its own thread? For anyone with a semi-modular, eurorack or just a few monosynths this look like a hugely useful controller.

4: When connect by mains and 3.5mm in, it turns off after a few minutes of no sound.

EU requirement.

Didn't this cease to be an issue with the V2 firmware?
