Loving the set up . Really want to get my hands on a volca synth D:

volca drum is mighty, its got a lot of potential for weird noise

Playing Brigador on drums and keyboard, hardcore.

MAVS soundtrack is sooooo damn good

hell yeah 303!

Massive Front Line Assembly fan here, I have to have one for the EBM *_*

Did not know you music'd~!
Love that Deep Mind there, and that Volca Drum is heck'n rad, I feel like the computer screen really ties this all together too.
Such energy

Mostly a rock drummer! Been in bands and tinkered with electronic stuff for years but still just noodling about

dreaming of wires I see

SO MANY WIRES

So many different settings to get things synced ;_;

I've been building a modular beast, and the wire monstrosity is half the fun there, at least.

Right now my friend Armeline is borrowing my Crave, so i have no semimodular goodness in this rig atm, the quest of this setup is to get good drum recordings off my TD6 to start songwriting off of, figure out hardware sequencing on the other gear and sync it to the TD6, and figure out a good (red:finicky) drummer-centric workflow, because latency is THE WORST on drummers >.<


You mentioned you had a Neutron, do you have the whole eurorack scene happening? :D There's people on gearslutz endlessly discvussing how to create an 80's style 8bit sampler (like my Mirage, nee hee) entirely out of eurorack bits, the grungy 8bit converter to this to these filters etc

It started with the neutron and kind of got a bit out of hand after that...now it's two Mantis cases full. Telling myself no more modules this year until I produce an EP or something.

I mostly use it to create horrible anxiety inducing soundscapes. Because that's definitely something I need more of in my life right now!

The best kept secret on among Gearslutz types: the Amiga 500! Still pretty affordable, but it has the same punchy sound as a Fairlight or EII. Maybe even better. Same vari-rate 8 bit converters just like those machines too. Only catch: no filters. But that's something you add on to the mixed stereo out easily enough. Of course merely "quantizing" a sample down to 8 bits won't sound anything like an Amiga or other 8 bit sampler because there's a lot more going on there. Vari-rate conversion, LSb errors, overall linearity etc.

I was an Atari st kid but in high school I managed to get hold of a 500. There’s a lot of samples for the Mirage that are floating around repurposed for Amiga MODs. But I never used them for music back in the day and unfortunately I don’t have one now (and I’m moving to a small place so I need to store everyth8ng except synths and my desktop anyway ayiee)

There’s vst samplers, one I can’t recall the name of, that do some of the amiga stuff but I don’t know how much. I’m sorta on the caveman end of this, hit synthesizer and make rock and roll noise :D

Once my Amiga 1200 is fully restored and reassembled (the floppy drive is the only part left now), my next task is restoring my Atari ST as best I can. It works, but it's full of rust and the floppy drive no longer functions due to the grease drying out and causing the disk to stick inside. I have the matching SC1435 monitor for it too which also needs a good de-rusting and recapping. Once those two systems are done, maybe I can then start on my Amiga 500s. It's going to take years at this rate!
