Synth gas is back, and the local pawn has a Microbrute I can get for $140 out the door, or a Monologue for like $180...I like the price of the brute better, but I'm leanign towards the monologue. Help me.

They have a Volca Kick and Akai MPK mini too (which is just a controller though)

Monologue because motion sequence, microtuning and presets.
Microbrute because that mini patch bay.


But save for the new Arturia? or new Minilogue?

Mhmm, leaning towards the monologue...but you may be onto something there with the new stuff. I think I saw people mention no pitch transpose with the new Minilogue though? Seems kind of whack. I may be thinking of something else? That Microfreak Arturia looks fun too!

This would be my first actual synth...well other than the microkorg I had years ago which I never really figured out :lol:

Yeah, you're right. Monologue does that, so no worries in there.

Monologue also seems a great idea for a first synth, that sequencer is good and really intuitive, also the drive was goood.
There's people in YouTube doing amazing stuff with it, I wish I was that clever to discover those on my own lol.

Yea I think I'll take the plunge and go grab it today. Hopefully it's still there. I've been watching a lot of videos, and like you said, there are some really good ones. Most of them involve another synth or drum machine, which adds to the gas...and then I remember, oh wait I have an old zoom rhythmtrak!

I also have to keep telling myself, that these people actually now how to play keys, so my experiences will be different and slow :lol:

Did you get it? That’s a good price and it’s a great synth. The only mono I even remotely considered holding on to.

(Flipped it :lol: )

I love it when a plan (i.e. a silly idea) comes together.

I can't remember what I was looking for, but while I was looking for something my eyes spotted an extremely underused bit of kit that I've had for years, namely a Zoom MRT-3B (drum machine).

"What does it sound like through all those daft pedals of yours?" I hear you ask.

Magnificent*.

Totally bought it :thumb: ...Walked out of there with the Monologue and a crybaby for $199 otd :lol:

I hardly know what I'm doing but the hour or so I fucked with it the other night was pretty entertaining. Any tips/tricks/presets you liked?

From an ad for the Sonicake 5th Dimension digi multimod pedlol:

"Picture this: during one particular gig, you need a phaser for covering Pink Floyd's Breathe; then a chorus for playing the riff of The Police's Message In A Bottle; finally a flanger for rocking out the opening intro of RATM's Killing In The Name."

:lol: :lol: :lol: don't think I'm the target market :lol:

Who is the target market?

Been a while since I heard a cover band I guess :lol: I didn't think there'd be one cover-band audience that'd be psyched to hear those three songs in a set. :idk:

Orange County/Anaheim Hills. That's where the party's at.

Throw in some Fleetwood Mac and Nightranger and you'll get one free drink from that winking drunk over there.
