Sold my last analog synth but i can't be still dammit
Been cutting little by little since i don't have (or want) the time to hole up in my studio hunched over a synth and when i a/b stuff with the better ios synths i don't really hear that gap. And any perceivable gap is jumped easily when i can spend way more time designing sounds and arps in mobile devices and integrate them so easily and sync them with link, and so on.
Last to go was the elektron analog keys. Still have my op-1 but that's probably the ipads best companion.
Who knows. Gas is strong and my paypal account is now nice and fat.

I still have a Nord1 that spends most of the year in a closet with a broke pitch bend that I have been meaning to get fixed or just sell as is.
Every now and then I see hardware (MPC Live) and think it would be nice... op-1 always looked nice... I did pick up a Circuit with some BDay money... that was worth it... very fun.
But yah, the iPads are getting better and the apps are getting more and more amazing... in such short time too. May as well hunker down, get cozy and learn how to make these apps soar. Tis is an amazing time.
I've got to replace the internal battery in the Roland CSQ-600 then I can sell it, along with the Roland SH-09, both sitting there waiting for me to do it.
Makes me stronger. Thanks both. I too have a Circuit now, and like it, but was worried it would be the lascivious hardware door. Not so far.
My MS20 has been sitting covered in dust for the last 40 years, casting angry glances at me while I fritter away my pennies on the latest new digital hussy.
Would I sell it? Never, like some battered old chariot that ones sharing the grave with me.
Does yours have a Philips screw head in the otherwise blank VCA panel, or no screw?
This is something with no patch saving?????? That has been filtered out a long time. (Pun noticed after the fact and left in).
Yes it has, just below the writing. Are the screwed versions worth more money?
The opposite for me, I am finding myself drawn back to my Korg M50 once again. It does utilize a touch screen for much of its programming so in that way perhaps it is less like cheating on my iPad. (Hahahaha). So much fun to play though and the sequencer is powerful on that one as well! Even better is how much more powerful it becomes when teamed up with the iPad both for recording to use along with my iPad apps or as a midi controller for iPad apps also.
I miss my hardware synths. I really regret not keeping at least my Andromeda.
I love my iPad synths and the amount of sound making in one small touch screen device, although I would like a controller keyboard to add knobs, sliders and (sometimes) keys into my interface to my sound. I find that the offerings on the market are not designed with iOS in mind and their PC centric nature is detrimental to the experience that they could be.
In other words there is a synergy between the physical controls on a hardware synth and it's sound engine that just has not been properly replicated yet for our iOS devices, shame.
Aha - that's the later version. Mine was that too. It is all to do with the filter. They changed it from based on the Korg35 transistor array to the LM13600 operational transconductance amplifier. http://www.timstinchcombe.co.uk/index.php?pge=korg
Ah right. I bought it new in 79 I think.
The year my mom popped me out into this world driving her nuts smashing on a little wooden piano.
I seem to be going in the opposite direction. i love vsts and ipad synths but very much love
my volca's more. i eventually intend on buying a few more larger synths. maybe even have a eurorack someday.
different strokes for different folks i guess....
I want to be able to quickly and easily pick up my setup and take it to a rehearsal or gig or sofa. My current setuo fits in one slim shoulder bag plus a digital piano or nord electro.
I've had buge setups involving midi thru boxes and hardware eveything and i just don't want to deal with all the indivual machine sequencers and setup/breakdown
Same here. Thanks to the Volcas/'Brutes/Monotribes/Monotrons/... I have more analog synths than ever. I'm staying away from Eurorack, because I know I would love it and it would suck me in like a moneydraining black hole
I am always tempted by the little analog boxes out there... ...but i just end up seeing them as percentages of a pro9.7/pencil these days.
I'm also heading back in the other direction. Tapping a screen doesn't do it for me anymore.
I've got transistors. I spent last week like this… https://goo.gl/photos/qnCCC5R89njetiqg6 …with a lot of NPN and then a lot of PNP transistors that I was matching. I'd leave them on tinfoil to stabilise the temp, and put one in the tester and leave it there for at least half an hour. Every time I made a cup of tea or coffee or just went past the table, I'd press the test button to measure the transistors hFE and Vf and write it on a bit of masking tape, cut it off and wrap it around the legs (hFE on the front, Vf on the back). Matched transistor pairs are important for differential amplifiers and modulators. Building the hardware is a lot more restrictive than just buying it, slows you down suitably.
It's all good though. Back when i had more time i would stay holed up and had lots more gear. I would go 1-2 times a week to a rehearsal space and carry a guitar amp, a heavy pedal board for the guitar, a smaller pedalboard for vocal stuff, and 2 guitars. Sometimes when i got crazy i would take an 88 key digital piano. Don't have that energy or will anymore.
This is my previous attempt at mobility, but keeping things analogish.
And right before i started selling most stuff:
Wow this definitely proves that crappy equipment sucks. Thankfully Korg hardware synths are awesome for music making! Of course pretty impossible to replace a nice guitar with an iPad currently also.
I love being surrounded in my room by hardware keyboards and racks even though all I use is my guitars and an iPad/Mac. It makes me feel like a real musician despite hardly finishing any tunes.
I also sold off my hardware stuff about a year back, don't regret it. Sometimes miss hardware sampler though. Don't miss hardware midi sequencer, that was not fun
Sigh. I'd kill for that setup
Was thinking the same.
I started out with korg. O1w/fd and then the z1 and then the triton. Went through a few volcas and now mostly use gadget with it's controllers. Korg has beenwith me for a long time.
Hello my pretty...
Thanks for the new word. The Microbrute was that for me. I sold it recently, after discovering that it was a gateway to a dimension called Eurorackus, where bank accounts are drained, machines multiply, time slips by, and marriages disintegrate .
Don't forget, anyone with old vintage gear. Check the internal battery (if applicable) for leakage.
Cameras, too, come to think of it. And flashguns.
I think balance is the key. Keep that you can afford and need (use often) and keep also things simple.
If iOS fits your needs better then buy more iDevices (iPod touch 6gen, iPhone 5s...) cheap than most hardware and more powerful but also require dedicated midi controllers (most of the time), cck, etc...
I look everyday for hardware samplers (until BM3 I hope), Arrangers and microkorgs around me...
