You own a piece of gear and you use it but there's a fair bit of it you DON'T use and it kind of bugs you and you think maybe you should get something simpler? I can't even begin to comprehend the underlined part. Why should it bug me? Here’s an example: Last night, in my sleep, i heard the term “p...

Gotta throw The Sword in there for badass "newer" metal bands that are 17 years new :doh: .. first two albums are right up there with Celtic Frost, Hellbastard and Amebix (yeah I can go crusty too). This is officially off topic, but i have been a fan of Clutch since the mid 90s, and there was a str...

ok so i have this freaking thing dialed in to be playing a nice 8 note chord drone. is there a way to add some very subtle lfo to it to make it more interesting but without going off the rails? i am having trouble using the lfo. I, too, have had trouble with "subtle" LFO modulation on the oscillato...

second thing--- i am noticing its hard to hear the bass oscillator in comparison to the treble and with no individual volume control im having trouble. what am i missing with this? when they are all playing the higher octaves are too loud compared to the bass. I’ve found that adjusting the SHARP kn...

That sucks.

I think you need to make some serious amends with your UPS/FedEx/USPS guys. Do you have a mean dog or something?

Time to sell a kidney

If you’re only getting $5k or so for a kidney, you need to find a new organ brokerage.

(But i feel you.)

Interesting design exercise. Surprised it focuses on FM radio, as at least here in the US, radio 99% sucks. I was driving yesterday, and the three radio stations that I usually listen to were all very shitty: one had a commercial, one was playing ZZ Top, and one was a coronavirus election wildfire ...

Thanks, Blario. I haven't had the 501 Pro very long, and I've just had it plugged into a stereo channel on my mixer. I'll try rerouting it so that I can test whether voices are pre-panned.

So, the 501 Pro has a stereo output, but as far as I can tell, there's no way to pan the various drum voices and samples, right? (I would love to be able to hard pan instruments to make recording simpler.) Are the samples in stereo? If not, why doesn't it have a mono output?

Any ideas?

How is the sound of the Syntrx? Would you say it‘s similar to a Synthi? Erica synths has managed to find the perfect formula to get sales on a mediocre to outright bad sounding synth from people just hyped to be able to have something that looks like a synthi in their studio. I suspect that mine wo...

there's something really wrong with that picture.

Yes. There are no patch cables.

You guys will love my studio. Yes, that's an aloe plant. eee.jpg

I like that beefy, vintage analog noise source next to the amp, too.

I’m not sure exactly how this works, but it might interest you: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=227626

The worst experiences I’ve had are a few modules that reek of cologne or air freshener, but that goes away in a couple of days. I think it’s vape juice. Ewww god. I don’t have the data handy, but I’m pretty sure that “Eww-God” is the #3 best-selling flavor of vape juice in the Austin (Texas) market...

After a year of depression induced by scouring the web for the fabled Nord Drum 2, i finally accepted I would never find one and probably shouldn't pay the price they tend to go for these days, and resolved to just get the damned 3p. Even if it was dumbed down and lacked the trigger ins....as a dru...

This seems appropriate today.

I couldn't find anyone in the US who seemed to carry them. Schneidersladen had them in stock for awhile. I wound up getting mine from Thomann. It was my first time ordering from them. The shipping wasn't too expensive (around 25 Euros) and it made it from Germany to the US (at my door) in two days. ...

Do we know if it will be Sequential or DSI? I think there's only Sequential now. There is only Sequential now. I am the gatekeeper. A lot of really pointless posts in this thread. THere sure is lol It’s actually like Amazon answers You mean when someone bothers to answer with "I don't know?" Not ex...

Can someone with a OEM Lyra (not the DIY) confirm whether or not the AND/OR switch in the Hyper LFO is 2 position, or 3 position? It's three position. Mine only has a two-position switch. It's not a DIY model, but it might be one of the older ones. I think there is some discussion earlier in this t...

I mean, that’s what I would have wanted to engineer when i was a teenager.

Well, the people in the instagram photo from the link above don’t look particularly excited about it. I’m guessing it’s a new line of flavored vodka, and beta testers in the photo are all optimally hungover.

sorry if i gave anyone false hope that re-installing the firmware would help. with in a minute of playing today its already messing up badly. random notes, hung notes, freezing. guess it just was in a good mood yesterday eve. Did you check your horoscope? We’re only days away from the full corn moon.

So, I've been looking at this, and I can't tell from the manual exactly how MIDI velocity data affects the 501 Pro. Is it just volume? (This could very well be a stupid question -- I'm new to sequencing drum machines with external sequencers, but this seems like a great option for a drum module to ...
