I reworked my synth setup last night, finally. I have everything plugged in and most things are working, I just need to figure out channels and clock on the Microfreak.
I have two arrangements that work independently, but I should be able to midi them across to share tempo and have them work together if I want to
ooh we need pics of that!
Seconded!!
Is the microfreak worth it? Been looking at it as my first hardware synth.
There's meant to be really good. I haven't delved too deep because it uses that annoying trs midi and I only have a really short cable to connect it to other devices.
But it has a really good synth engine, and they added samples and granular synthesis in firmware updates. It might be worth hooking up to a midi keyboard as the touch capacitive one it has isn't for everyone.
Otherwise, there's always the minifreak if you're willing to spend a bit more
Cheers man. The capacitive keyboard is a bit odd, but I reckon it's seems priced decently for what it can do.
I'll head down to mannys and see if they have one to demo.
What sort of music do you like making?
I'm tinkering with the electronic stuff at the moment. I want to sit down and maybe make an instrumental guitar ep, and I could use the synths for live backing and recording real instruments instead of everything being vsts
Man that would be amazing!
If you feel like sharing anything, would love to hear it!
Yeah I've been making middle east influenced industrial but it's all vsts pretty much and sometimes
Now that I'm playing live again, I'm writing stuff focused on being able to perform by myself.
The idea of taking a laptop on stage doesn't appeal to me whatsoever.
