the watmm GAS thread

Yeah the octatrack is fitting into more of my projects than I initially expected.. I'm even considering using it with my guitar and getting back into live looping; it could result in some really wacky improvised sessions!

In other news, I just bought a teensy, in order to try making stuff as amazing as the projects my friend little-scale makes:

I really want to get into DIY stuff, with the aim of a possible career change into repairing/maintaining vintage synths/amps etc, and making things on the side. One of my workmates suggested I get some eurorack rails to use as a base for an entire set of DIY modules.. but that seems dangerously close to buying manufactured eurorack modules as well.. hmmmmmmm

We are getting along pretty well

Damn son. I would listen to that.

that sounds wicked

Heh, i played a gig not so long time ago using OT, controller and LXR.

Ok, that is making me seriously start considering selling some stuff an getting one of these.  The lack of direct outs would be a much smaller thing in a live setting, and it seems like it would be a really god tool for adapting what I do these days into a form that I could actually play live with, not being able to play out is really starting to get to me.  I wonder how much my old EHX 2880 would fetch these days.

The only thing I wish was different so far is how you manually enter notes in the midi seq. I wish it was like the mnm with the arrow buttons instead of the level knob.

Not a big deal though. Sampling on here is so much easier than MPC, imo.

Recorder trigs are pretty amazing.

i wish leksha would put stuff on bandcamp =\

i'm not convinced that either of those bandcamp albums is the same guy... i got the free one and paid for the second one w/o even listening to them and they were...

anyways went to local synth meet yesterday. was loads of fun. showed off my op1 to a bunch of people. one of the organizers played out the packup at the end of the night by just improving on a monomachine (he says he's had his since 2006). really sick stuff. said he'd be glad to show me around the machine and he lives close by. got to see a few classics, sh101, roland xox, stuff. i'd say the vast majority of what was shown was modular and a few people brought monologues. someone brought a matrixbrute too which looks and sounds KILLER (too big tho). was a good time but really didn't change my mind about wanting to shed most (all?) of my gear and just get back in the box. still lusting after the op-z though

I think a little bit of outboard fx plus a daw is the best of both worlds.

I succumbed to the allure of a Monomachine.

Yeah, ever since I complained about the lack of outputs on the Octatrack earlier I've been kind of wanting one, which cements my theory that when I think something is overrated I'm usually just in denial about wanting one.  I hadn't looked at them in quite a while, they hadn't introduced the live looping mode in v1.2 yet last time I did.  that's a big selling point for me.

Fortunately it's well out of my budget right now.

Congratz! Now you too can participate in the upcoming watMnM compilation ;)

sweet 

wait

I loaded up the monomachine BBOX samples on my octa and sliced them up. Now it's like I have a mono!

Get some single cycle waves on there as well and it's essentially a wavetable synth :D
