my setup lately

 

Is that one of those fancy mechanical keyboards Osc? The typing keyboard I mean. They're sexy, I'd love to try one.

 

pretty cool

Oh he was banned for a reason... Prove you are not ET.

Now

Some changes since my last pic :

I've been jamming with the A4 for two days now (since I received it) : I'm quite amazed by it, yet I feel like it'll take times to master its synth engine, it reacts drastically to tiny changes.

As much as I usually "get" synths strengths and flaws quite quickly, I'm a bit lost at the moment. I bet it's quite a rewarding beast though. A4 owners, any tips & tricks ?

that set up is really nice and clean!

with your Analog4, speaking as a previous Machinedrum owner, study the manual. lots. then play with it. lots.

Elektron stuff is great, but you definitely need to know the beast in the carnal sense before you can tempt the goodness out.

Thank you ! I try to keep it minimalist yet inspirational. I'd be so un-productive with tons and tons of gear... even if there's a synth or two I'm lusting over hehe ;)

Thanks for the advice as well : just printed the manual. Now, lets read !

what's that thing to the rear of your Apple keyboard? is it an audio interface? it kind of looks like the Propellerhead thing, but I know it isn't

It's a pretty neat yet insanely affordable soundcard : SPL Crimson

They managed to keep the cost really low by picking converters and preamps in their flagship units, and by not providing DSP. All top quality analogue path (but the AD/DA part obviously), built like a tank, and can be used without a computer as well.

that is very cool indeed! I love the fact that they thought enough about it to put the legends on the ins/outs upside down too, so you can tell what the fuck you're plugging in when you're actually plugging stuff in!

Indeed, it's really well thought out ! I'd totally recommend it ;)

I wanted to ask you : why did you switched from an hybrid (I suppose ?) set-up to Reason ?

I spent 10 years using Reason (from v1 to 5), then switched to Live + Numerology combo with a few carefully chosen synths (Diva has been my go-to ever since, then Aalto and Bazille, and now the A4, nothing more) 3 years ago or so, and never regret it. Night and day difference in sound quality and ease of "making it sound good" if you ask me.

Ps: nice set-up too ! ;)

I was simply very fucking stupid and decided to sell all my hardware gear. Probably one of the worst mistakes I've ever made. I spent quite a bit of money on getting those synths, and they were in damn good condition too. It would break my heart trying to get hold of that stuff again, in similar condition.

So I went back to Reason. I started out with soft-synth stuff, then moved into getting proper gear.

I'm now moving away from Reason mostly though, I have Reaper and a good selection of VSTs now. I just have some projects in Reason that need finishing really.

Nice collection volg. What sort of mods did you do on your 505?

 

These are some sick modular synths:

Oh ok ! By the way I hope I didn't sound pedantic, wasn't my goal at all.

Reason can be a lovely bit of software (I had so much fun with Spider CVs & all), and I bet there are some great sounding synths now.

That's just too bad that, back then before REs at least, they didn't have an HQ mode, less CPU friendly but better sounding. Thor and Malstrom can make great sounds, but damn they alias(ed) as hell and make(made) mixing harder than what it should (have) be(en).

I love to mix in Reaper, it's fast and fun, but never succeed to compose/produce with it.

You guys make me feel like I'm living in a trash pile.

Here, this'll make you feel better

Sweet 4track. I kinda miss mine, but then I think of how much of a crappy thing it really was.

But where to sit?

The 4track is probably a fine seat.

The four track might actually be more comfy than the vintage 70s chair.
