I love using my synth so much. it’s a bass station ii I’d love to make a stand up gig much like how some people use a guitar, but for atmosphere during a story. idk. having a poly synth would change everything. I can get amazing sounds out of the bass station but hard to know how any of them would fit into anything a bunch of the noises I make remind me of poo poo i used to hear on tool albums, i’m sure parts of third eye are synth problem is I just don’t have the raw talent even if I can drum up the skill. i’m a knob twister at heart and am good at working out what everything does and how to take advantage of it, and that attitude works in rodtronics sometimes because everything visual is just placed and can be edited, but the temporal judgment required to make good music and melodies just isn’t there. i still try tho

I’m always keen to embrace and expand. there’s also a but if music in the retrowave thread too bassstation is a true hardware synth so morbid like you mentioned, but I can control it via midi with ableton so i could do that, and it’s possibly more interesting to note that you can use the bassstation as a midi controller for ableton, and after making computer music (all of it poo poo right back to the fruity loops days) for almost 2 decades before using a proper midi keyboard and proper audio device I can say it’s definitely a game changer using both so take that as you will

i never really got crazy delicious dirty noises until I started loving around with mine but I think it’s more the physical ness of the knobs and switches more than that it’s true analog rather than digital god I want a novation peak  three oscillators and 8 voices. I think the oscillators are digital but very high hz and then the rest is analog. resonance on the filter cutoff is meaning more and more to me now, working out how to use it to it’s advantage rather than just attenuating higher freqs

LuckySevens posted:you're making a lot of sense here, but it'd still be cool to have a standalone device you can take with whatever music kit you have. i’ve day dreamt of this. for a while I had this idea of being a one man band with looping pedals n poo poo and running my own lighting it would actually be prettt cool to have a wee device that could accept midi and route different midi channels to different lights or modes or whatever 🤷♂️ sounds like fun

a neurotic ai posted:I've been using FL for the last 7-8 years and I get periodic existential anxiety that everybody else I know who makes oontz oontz music uses ableton. the workflow difference between the two leads to different music I reckon, and why loving around with both has its own benefits

Achmed Jones posted:I just finished my first song. It is very not good! I learned a lot about using Ableton, though. good poo poo brother ableton live is good, and when you get ya head around modulation and automation you’ll make all sorts of dope beats my ableton live lite suffers from a lack of inbuilt instruments. I used to use “analog” and “operator” for all sorts of poo poo one thing i’d like to know how to do is how to send synth commands to the bass station ii over midi because I know it’s possible to program every parameter over midi and so you could not just send notes but everything but I don’t know how to create something akin to sending a txt file to the synth over midi. I do know how to send patch changes to the synth so could pre program the synth patches and have live change patches and also how to record every parameter change on the synth to midi in ableton also for some reason now my bass station ii won’t connect as midi over usb anymore. it runs off usb power wise so clearly the usb is working but no longer connects as midi 😖

midi is pretty sick tbf, is there any other standard that’s 30 odd years old and still just works. my novation circuits midi ports were just 3.5mm audio ports with an adapter so it didn’t even take up much room circuit was awesome. DAWless is cool

This is attempt at playing the synth, as in, I send notes from Ableton and play the knobs. It's not really a song but there are some cool moments. One thing I should do, because there have been times I've recorded myself loving around, and I come up with cool bits but I can't recreate it, is also record the MIDI notes and the MIDI CC, because I've now learned ableton records both when you record MIDI, and this way could somewhat be able to recreate the sound perfectly later on. https://soundcloud.com/user-987488156/fanterrible that's the "song" lmao

toiletbrush posted:is it sample based or physically modelled? I mucked around with a demo of a physically modelled piano years ago and it was absolutely nuts how realistic it was. Pianos aren't very forgiving if you can't right good tunes though so I steer clear of them. idk but it sounds very good. ableton used to have one built in that was sample based, I think it just had one sample per octave and blended between samples at the edges of each octave it sounded incredibly real. as does this one.

ableton with all the built in ableton plugins is very well integrated which held enourmous appeal when I first started using it, and now it just feels normal to use

Ruffian Price posted:FM8 is great for figuring out operator relationships because the partial view updates in real time as you edit the matrix, so once you see what self-modulating, chaining modulators etc. actually does to the spectrum it becomes kinda intuitive kinda, in the sense that looking at a waveform shows you what it will sounds like.....

some people seem to think that idea of input setup -> auto song is the purpose of them like I remember reading somewhere maybe even in this thread that they didn't see the point of getting one and just trying to make it into a unique synthesiser I have a suspicion that filters and gain are something that really benefit from discrete circuitry. oscillators not so much. but then again I know gently caress all. one thing I am working out about myself is how much more inspirational my bass station II is compared to say arturia pigments which by all means is a far more capable soft synth. but I think it's the physical nature of the machine. definitely need some knobs to twist something that had infinite endless knobs with also oled labels etc would be the poo poo. the hydrasynth looks a lot like that but is a real synth  this looks ok. you can get a 4 octave one too but not a 3 octave perfect size one
