Let's see your KEYS/SYNTHS!

Standalone synths (and the world's most expensive 9Volt)

Why did I ever sell my Drone Commander

[behndy]

Drone Commanders sooooooo GOOD.

What's above (and also underneath) the Monotribe ?

Dear... sweet... Monotribe.




p.s.
I still have an unused, plug-n-play, MIDI kit for Monotribes, if anyone is interested.

[D.o.S.]

Monotribe is so sick. I have no idea why they discontinued them (I mean I know why but it's a cruel harsh world since it's impossible to get a standalone MS filter at that pricepoint, let alone with the extras). Boardweevil into the Monotribe = best tones in the history of forever.

[Disarm D'arcy]

Monotron man. That's how I got my MS filter goodness on the cheap.

[behndy]

yah. splitting the two new Electribes was DIRTY. you can hack the grey one to run as an Electribe or Electribe Sampler, which makes it SEEM like the loss of filter types is just an arbitrary difference to have 2 models instead of 1 super combo version.

and one of the lost filter types was the MS20.

[behndy]

huh. Monotron and MonoTribe are interessssting. does the MonoTribe have 1/4 jacks?

i'm pretty interested in the Tron as an efx box, but the mini knobs are problematic.

I GOTS BIG FINGIES.

Above? Shruthi XT (which reminds me I need to find out exactly why mine isn't working.)

Below? No clue.

[behndy]

well, they made the Electribe (E2), which has like 12 filter types i think? 4 per each freq pass choice. Electribe Sampler (ES2) just has 3, one per. and there are more OSC's to build from than in the ES2. but you can sample and dump all the built in hits and replace them with whatever.

there's a hack that works best on the grey version of the E2 that lets you choice to boot either into the E2 or the ES2.

dunno if it works on the red/blue versions.

but i meant they COULD have just made the ES2 with all the filters and OSCs. prettttttty sure they chose to make people want to own both.

also, i'm a GIT. i don't need a MonoAnything, i have this -



WOOT.

Below is the venerable BugBrand BoardWeevil (this one is from the 2012 run).

The BWeevil is built around a sonic-heart of three simple Square-Wave Oscillators which are combined via two quasi Ring-Modulators. This is followed up by a powerful Resonant Filter - a State-Variable version with manual blending between Low-pass & High-pass responses and variable modulation via the first Oscillator. This filter can produce some lovely pinging sounds when run at full resonance with low-frequency oscillation settings.

Two key circuit-bend techniques are applied to this core to bring the machine to vivid life. Firstly there is the Power Starve control for the Osc/RingMod generators, which sends them into crazy-mode. Then there are a total of 18 touch-points which allow you to directly interface with the circuitry, creating new routes of electronic flow

The setup for today has been the B-Dubs into an RM-1N. I can post clips, if anyone's interested? (It's a pretty spectacular pairing).

[Strange Tales]

Of course we want clips. We always want clips.
