I just have to keep my Yamaha Motifs/montage. Because i just can't get the iPad replacing one of them. Creating complex Layers for M . Jackson or Prince Songs is a breeze compared to work with Aum or AB3 and fiddling with iOS synths. Think of buying an Access Virus for massive sounds. I think I Will Never dig it with iPad alone. May be in the Future with easier to handleiOS- workstations . But ireally enjoy Recording my Instruments in Auria pro with these Luis Martínez drum Apps
I started off buying Auxy last September, that was the gateway drug and led to lots of apps, Ableton, Push, Volca's, a Minilogue and a Digitakt! I'm making music using all of the above and having a lot of fun. There so much stuff to explore and learn from.
Uff just lost my whole post except pics.
Summarizing: i've come around again. Lots of Ios synths sound good but i don't play them as well as real synths. Whether it's my head playing tricks on me or not even on something like the boutiques it feels like there's more cooking going on inside and of course a real slider/knob feels better.
With the moog, both rolands and the op-1 my desired sounds are mostly achieved and them the ipad sequences, records and mixes. Drums too.
Could not sell mine - love my hardware and IOS synths
I too troll Craigslist. Mostly for great deals on things I'm interested in. If I know I can sell it for the same (easily) or for more with some work, I'm in.
Is that the MFB Dominion???
Very cool. What are those?
I'm on craigslist daily. Got both boutiques with their keyboards for 460 total!
Would do naughty things for ownership of the contents of said room.
The "hardware" here is:
tower that runs Windows XP
Nord Micro Modular (sitting on the tower)
iPad 1
The tower is for Scope Creamware PC board based studio, initially bought for the modulars contained therein. The Creamware deal is array of Sharc DSP modules that drive the synths: may-as-well be analog, but editable via software (same as the Nord Micro, which is just 1 Sharc module. The Creamware system is 10, so far). The Nord you can edit on desktop, load 100 presets, then bring the box to gigs...
I bought the first 3 TE POs, and Volca Sample (nice all around mini rig) but gave them to my Kid.
Just bought a volca kick. Haven't received it yet. Looks way cool.
Totally agree! There's virtually no difference and each day the ipad grows more capable. It's a dream to have such affordable synths... you could make a career on just one... but why not indulge in many when they are cheap?
On that note... OP-1s are going for $1500 canadian.. it can't possibly be worth that much (am i wrong?)
No. Not 1500. But this is my second one. Sold the first and was sorry. I love it. I do some stuff in it but don't really finish anything i do in it. But it's great as an ipad companion and if i had to only have one synth it would probably be it. Great arps, great drums, sampling, syncs well with the cck3.
I still have my Opus 3 and a mint Heathkit Frequency Generator, but that's it
Good advise, but I don't think SynthMania works that way. There is no concept of only "need" or "affordable". It's only degree of lust and some time.
balance comes easy after you've sold all of your hardware for software and then put on the biggest pair of boots you can find and kick yourself for the foreseeable future until you finally concede to Hybridism..... I was so excited to be completely itb I was running sonar at the time for my main daw and delighted myself with every plugin I could imagine but for me personally, and dreadfully came the realization that I should have just put everything in a closet instead of valiantly getting rid of every single thing, I didn't want to even think about hardware. The lesson I learned the very hard way is that when you limit yourself to just one way of doing something you're doing just that. all hardware nor all software turned out to work but good balance of both was just the ticket, and then the iPad was like the cherry on top. I have to admit though that it's admirable for those that can, watching people work that way is still very impressive to me and what lead me into my fiasco in the first place.
Well there is some degree of "collecting" so that's the affordable part. Then there is the useful side which "needs" came into scene. If you can maintain all your hardware gear don't sell anything but if you can't but still want "dedicated machine" my advice is buy what you can afford and remember old iDevices could be awesome (and sometimes cheaper) app hosts.

Most of us have buy and sold our entirely setup once in life. My first time I get ill so I learnt the hardway that I need some keys in my life to fight stress when it appears. IPad let me try sonic things like iPolisyx, iMini, Korg Module Triton... and I wonder sometimes to buy a microkorg to just plug it and play anywhere. Balance is the key but not an easy path if we don't put some limitations time to time...
This just sorts to sound like life at one point.
A series of learned lessons of what works and what doesn't based on endless ways of living the same life with different wants or needs being weighed against the back drop of ends vs means.
Um, isn't the topic title void now ? The kick is an analog synth....
In general, I get stuff done quicker in software, but I enjoy playing with hardware more.
Currently rocking a Circuit and Mininova alongside the iPad. For the most part you would be hard pushed to tell the difference between Real Analogue and DSP/Software emulations...it is when you get to the extremes of the OSC range or when doing very slow modulations that you could notice any real difference.
I am still eyeing up analogue for working in those extremes...
Definitely steering well clear of Eurorack ..... I fear the money/life drain it could bring.
Ha. Yes. The moog is too. I did mention in my first that i am fickle.
The key for me is portability. Anything that i need to go down to my studio, switch on and hunch over only gets a little attention. I just don't get the time with work and kids and wife. So i've been building my portable studio hub (waiting on a couple pieces and will upload) that i can move or leave anywhere and just attach my ipad and the synth of choice, on my couch or bed. The moog is almost too big for that but it fits my lap on the couch and sounds and feels
Fantastic.
Not likely going to happen anytime soon, but I'm very much excited about going back to hardware. I'll still use iOS for recording & editing, but I'm looking at knobby, stand-alone musical instruments quite fondly. Maybe, before the year is over, I'll order a Minilogue & VocaSample?
If one is a tactile/kinesthetic learner, (common for musicians) the glass interface sometimes doesn't quite satisfy. Mmmmm: shaped objects, with textures, movement, weight. Sometimes nothing else will do.
Theres days when i think of going way the other direction and selling everything except for my ukuleles, and buying a bunch of ukuleles. Then i mindslap myself and know i need da kine.
I like the minilogue and also looked hard qt the monologue. Of those two i do prefer the mini. The monologue has better keys. Had thought if picking up a volca sample again. Had one for a while and paired with the volca kick it would make a nice kick ass rhythm section. But i find it hard to justify samplers with what we know you can do with patterning, for example. Although the realtime knob twiddling is cool i can only do so much at a time and patterning automates way better.
Ahh i have two. A not so great soprano and a pretty nice tenor. Not playing it too much these days but not going anywhere. This a uke central song i did.

Went through a great hardware purge recently as well. Actually started getting into electronic music production (lifelong guitarist) with the iPad 2, then the affordable analog revival happened shortly after and I found myself amassing a ton of hardware, including a short flirtation with modular. Recently picked up a mortgage, sold 95% of my hardware in favor of an iPad pro and I couldn't be happier. Shedding a bunch of "stuff" is pretty freeing. Plus, I make more music now.
I do love drawing in automation with my finger though
