/synth/ general

I've dicked around with VCV Rack and Automatonism and tend to get some of the concepts of Clocks, VCOs, VCFs, etc. I think where I get confused it actually reading up on individual modules and how it would integrate into a greater system. I have no clue what the fuck I would do with a Wogglebug for example. Thanks for the guides though.

On the microfreak, obviously.

it’s interrelated random voltages, you would patch it to modulate parameters of your patch ..kind of thing you learn potential uses for by trying out random voltages in vcvrack. then search wogglebug on Muffwiggler and read how other people are using it after you have read the make noise manual which probably gives example patches..or go to Wiard site and read what Grant has to say about wogglebug since he’s the guy who designed it. I’m sure there is also an article in that sound on sound about random voltages and how to use em. you gotta put a little effort in user but this stuff is pretty simple.

where's my rack for DAWs andy?
you locked up in your house now nigga where's my vst bruh.

Alright, admittedly I'm not great when it comes to being focused. You're right though I should spend more time actually researching modules and synthesis. While i'm at it any cases you would recommend for a beginner? Is a 1 rack, 84hp case a good size to experiment with?

I havnt paid much attention to racks lately but the tip-top happy ending rack was good inexpensive option for beginner. The tip-top mantis is very nice and probably best deal If you need the power/hp. Power and cases are an area where you should spend a lot of time researching DIY, you will save a LOT of money if you build your own. Source rails etc from synthrotek for cheap etc. The more time spent researching, the more money you’ll save and be able to spend on modules etc.

>Power and cases are an area where you should spend a lot of time researching DIY, you will save a LOT of money if you build your own.
I figured as much, Initially I was looking at a Make Noise 104hp Skiff with power and it came down to 250$. I could get around two Volcas for that price. The funny thing is that was one of the cheaper options for a Eurorack case. I'll take a look at the tip-top stuff. As someone who's a dumbass when it comes to this I appreciate the help.

OP-1 should be here tomorrow. getting ready for some synth/coldwave type beats

Those make noise skiffs are very nice but they are more oriented towards housing your control modules, looking at make noise that would be like pressure points and Rene or whatever sequencer/“keyboard” interface you might use. it would be tabletop to sit in front of your rack and be playable in a comfortable position. like a keyboard

How come you post this and get 100 mu tards to post their minilogues yet I post this with Tobacco’s setup and get 1 post per 3 hours it’s up?

>the world doesnt need any more lofi hiphop study music
quite a weird dichotomy you have in your head. coldwave is the opposite to "lo fi beats to study"??

anyways, OP1 wont get you coldwave. that band doesnt do coldwave either. but youll get something, im positive.

based on yt i feel like the OP-1 is very closely related to lo-fi hiphop beats. and if not coldwave, we'll just call it minimal synth then.

still excited regardless.if nothing else it'll be fun to just mess around and track with. like you said, im optimistic ill find something to do with it.

the cre8audio niftycase is awesome as well... good price as well.

Sine waves

how to I ask my sweetwater rep for sine waves?

>sweetwater
y tho

I’m lonely and the nice salesman calls to see if he can sell me something. I just wanna friend.

rep sends me nugs

>10 posters lmfao

I need some good microkorg patches for outrun and vaporwave. All the patches online seem to be unusable and the patches on the korg website are terrible. Manually inputting the ones from the cookbook take forever.

So this is where the synth thread is. Try posting synth threads in /g/ and they bark at you for not installing gentoo!

If no one hears it from your mom's basement does it matter?

Why didn't you install gentoo with pure data yet user?

try posting a synth thread in Yas Forums and they bark at you for not being a poorfag

>they bark at you for not being a poorfag
What bizarro /synth/ do you go to?

Is patch base worth it? I have a dx100 and microkorg. And both are hard to program

Is there like a cheap modular system that’s just self contained? I’m interested in making something like Liars but with a more traditional band and can’t spend a lot of money on Eurorack. I’m interested in both the percussion synthesis and the weird futuristic sounds.

Search up Black Moth Super Rainbow live. Dummy.

Try a Semi-Modular like a 0-Coast.

Looking for a drum machine to go with my Blofeld to do some synthwave jams.
Or maybe a groovebox would make more sense? Would be nice to have a machine able to do bass runners as well as drums

Hey guys I recently bought an MS-20 Mini (first synth) and I've had heaps on fun using it, but I have not good audio card to record shit. Any reccs on a cheap audio interface I can use? Any help is appreciated. Also was this a good idea to buy as a first synth? or should I sell for something else. I've been loving it so far but am a little bit annoyed at the monophonicity (since I'm a piano player and lover of phat chords).

Don’t know what Bass runners is but check out old drum machines like the TR 707, or much cheaper, the 505. There are tons of cheap old drum machines from the 80s with vintage sounds, but they look like calculators. I don’t know much about groove boxes though, consider whether or not you want something that is good at sampling, and since your doing synthwave I’d look for something that lets you edit a pattern, like the sequencer on a TR808, virtually or not. A lot of 80s artists with memorable drum sequences cared more about making a pattern with a drum machine rather than making something an actual drummer would play.

Sorry for the incoherent sentence structure I’m half asleep

Thanks.

No problems, and thanks a bunch.

I have used a few software drum machines and I am definitely a fan of the x0x way of entering drum patterns. So I will keep that in mind
