ensoniq keyboards have polyphonic aftertouch Ensoniq EPS/EPS-16+/ASR-10/SQ-80/VFX/TS10. dadonck, what do you think dude? |
||||||||
|

he doesnt think |

i have thought about buying an asr-10. i could actually wait another month and buy one. it would be a great master keyboard. it has great effects. but i don't know how i'd use it for it's intended use. i sure would sample sounds and record them to the computer. how long can they sample anyway? but i first have to buy an audio interface. i'm still using the onboard soundcard. so that's where my money has to go first. |

polyphonic aftertouch, want it so bad |

the ensoniq stuff is great! EPS/EPS16/ASR10 also have internal tuning tables read here: http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/ i have polyphonic aftertouch with my QuNexus but never really used it with a synth |

umbroman3, u got me pretty close to buying a Yamaha pss 380 just for noodling around. i actually don't have much more space for stuff but im close to buying one of these "toys" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that looks really good dadonck layered 2 op, almost 4 op with sliders for control that looks better than my pss 780 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here is the best info i could find about it: its about the pss 390 which is the same as the pss 380. Different is just the fancy, coloured interface >>here is the important part where he compares it to the pss 780 chorus"), and it has many wild noise presets with complex pitch LFO, arpeggiator and retrigger effects (e.g. ringing "mandolin", "telephone", "helicopter", "machine gun", gritty and fat "brass ensemble", arpeggios in "crystal", "comet" etc., lots of great siren- like howling stuff like "ufo" or "ghost"), which I always expected to be standard with Yamaha FM instruments. But when I later bought the semi- professional Yamaha PSS-780 (the most advanced and most versatile top of the line FM PortaSound that was ever made - with MIDI, 61 keys, pitchbend wheel, 8 drumpads, sequencer etc.), I had to discover that this one includes none of these great effects but uses only very plain 2 operator FM for any sounds (although with a few more parameters), and it contains also no funny noise presets (like "helicopter") |

ups: again, here The PSS-390 (also my Fujitone 6A) uses 4 operators for many of its sounds (i.e. quasi 2 internally layered 2 op sounds =>half polyphony but more realistic/ thicker, which permits e.g. a reasonable sounding human voice "female chorus"), and it has many wild noise presets with complex pitch LFO, arpeggiator and retrigger effects (e.g. ringing "mandolin", "telephone", "helicopter", "machine gun", gritty and fat "brass ensemble", arpeggios in "crystal", "comet" etc., lots of great siren- like howling stuff like "ufo" or "ghost"), which I always expected to be standard with Yamaha FM instruments. But when I later bought the semi- professional Yamaha PSS-780 (the most advanced and most versatile top of the line FM PortaSound that was ever made - with MIDI, 61 keys, pitchbend wheel, 8 drumpads, sequencer etc.), I had to discover that this one includes none of these great effects but uses only very plain 2 operator FM for any sounds (although with a few more parameters), and it contains also no funny noise presets (like "helicopter"). I also downloaded manuals of other MIDI PortaSounds with FM synthesizer, and they all lack these great effects. Possibly Yamaha feared here to confuse customers with too many editable parameters, but they could have simply kept them uneditable as already some other parameters are. Possibly also the complex LFO and envelope effects would have disturbed the delicate timing of MIDI transmission because they are likely generated by the main CPU and not controlled by the sound chip itself. There is also no FM PortaSound with MIDI and synth sliders. With the PSS-390 particularly the noise effect presets can be easily tweaked into the most fantastic and bizarre tekkno sounds, and since these off all don't exist in the "professional" MIDI PortaSounds, it is difficult to rate which FM PortaSound is the best or most versatile instrument. |

2-op is for babies!! ...nah just kidding. |

so it doesn't have midi, shame as long as it has an audio out you can sample it or play it live :-) |
||||||||

so lads, what are your setups? mine is roland tr808 roland tb303 roland sh101 * 3 fenix ii soundcraft mixer joyo delay*2, flanger, chorus boss dd7 fostex spring reverb |

FENIX II?!!! get outta heeere!! |

if the pss 380 had midi, i would have bought it already :) im still thinking about buying one, as it can be a nice noise machine. also, good sample material :) here is a video of a guy playing it through a looper: i underestimated fm hardware synths all these years, even 2-ops mermaidman :) i always thought, why buy fm hardware when u can do much more with fm on a computer. The volca fm i bought sounds really great to me and makes me look for other older fm stuff that has this… timbre. Pretty shure it comes from the DCA`s which you could emulate in other ways, but its also good to just sit in front of some synths, sequencers and effects without much computer around |

I'm gonna buy a korg monologue tomorrow so I can take part in stupid color squad compilation. :-) Don't really need it but I really like taking part in compilations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
selling the monologue on ebay for £250 just bought a korg volca sample, will let you guys know how it is when it arrives.should be cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i tried a korg volca sample it is good alrite man wish it could sample stuff on its own instead of loading samples from digital tape say why don't you mess with the data bending ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is 32 khz which makes it sound 32 khz |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn i got the volca sample but the samples are a bitch to transfer over, wont work on android phone and two laptops. gonna have to buy an iphone6 just to use the bloody thing with the official software!!haha, fucking korg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was thinking of buying a volca sample. but i actually want something, that isnt a bitch and actually a real sampler. was thinking of getting the digitakt. if it had more outs i would have ordered one, already |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did u try this? https://www.frederikson-labs.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, i have a pss380 now. pretty nice for 30 bucks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool yeah i tried every software and even the web one none of them work it gives the error err dcod needs a fucking iphone 6 to work! lol |

i have an akai s2000 with eb16 fx anyway i bought the s2000 in 2004 when i worked in mcdonalds for £200 lol, now they cost about £50-£75 can use it as a multitimbral polysynth, can do lush pads |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
akai s2000? cool! u can get one in germany for 50 euros. is there actually a version with multiple outs? the vosyr app didnt work for u? i like the volca sample, but i would like something that can sample and trim easily and on the fly. the korg mirco sampler seems ineresting but its much too expensive second hand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
https://britishacid.bandcamp.com/track/ptc listen to this track the pads are from the s2000 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well? does the s2000 have multiple outs, or not? i so asked this in another thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has room for the expansion card but doesn't come with it by default i bought an s3000xl from a car boot sale for £5, it has a dodgy screen though. i fancied ripping the card out of the s3000xl and putting it in the s2000, but it's a slightly more complicated job than putting an eb16 in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best samplers to get for analogue filters are roland s770 ensoniq mirage korg dsm 1 akai s950 the cheapest hardware sequence thats good is the yamaha qy 300 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ja, nice glowing pads. thanks for all the suggestions |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i had more space i would buy an asr10 |
||||||||
|
|

Me 2 My s2000 is enough really I've got too many machines richard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the s2000 is a cool thing and its cheap. which is cool, too. i try to avoid expensive, boutique gear (not talking about roland here), doesn't matter if i can afford it. but right now i'm thinking about buying a digitakt, which would be the most expensive music making thing i own. … and i buy a Behringer model d (maybe 4 of them, lol) when its out. and then i stop, seriously today i just played with a tape player, an analog delay and an analog stereo chorus behind that. i recorded little synth lines on cassette, slowed them down with the player and put that though the delay and the chorus. just pretty |

I was reading about the rumours somewhere on MuffWiggler, I think. Seems to be an analogue(ish) poly synth. I think i have enough of that. I really love my Alpha Juno for that. And i could never get anything out of the Minilogue, that I wanted to go on with. And I tried for hours, because I really wanted to like it. And i still like the whole concept and form but with the sound something was missing for me. Maybe I didn't try hard enough, but then most of the stuff I have right now gives me immediate fun. I need that right now. Musicmaking is my happy freetime. But I like what Korg is doing overall. They have much better ideas then Roland these days. If Korg would make an FM synth in the size of a Minilogue, with a lot of knobs and sliders and all this motion recording. And a good bit crusher and a decent reverb and a stereo chorus in the effect section, I would throw my money at them. Maybe thats too experimental, because FM doesn't offer enough real time modulation to not sound like dying chips. But then i look at Akemie's Castle and think yeah! |

if they made a vco synth with ssm filters like the mono/poly or polysix it would be awesome but i'm afraid that's not gonna happen |

https://www.elektron.se/products/digitone/ new product out from elektron, a digital fm multitimbral synth with sequencer. even if you new gear bores you check out the sound samples at the bottom. they got some really great musicians to do demos. one of the tracks is like something out of sonic the hedgehog. |
