  Yeah, I love 'em. Been using 7506s since they first came out in '91. I currently own two pair (at one point, I had three, but I'm not sure where the third (oldest) pair disappeared to. I have replaced the ear-cups on these two. Otherwise, they're just like the day they came out of the box.

  Don't let those synths sit there use them! I've got ones that are away but its a space issue...Ideally I'd have every synth hooked up😭

  The "primary" synths, the Polybrute and the Take 5 do get used a lot. Most of the other will certainly see use again! A couple are on the bubble, so to speak. I may let them find their ways to new homes.

  It certainly has! I am, largely, content with what I have for now. There is certainly little that I need. The rule for new acquisitions here at this point is that anything new has to offer something unique -- either in the way that sounds are produced, or more importantly, in the sound itself. Thanks for the views! See ya soon!

  I've played with an Osmose at a trade show and the expressivity with the side to side movement is brilliant, could've played with it for hours and it has the same thing with the key bed being responsive from a light touch. This new key bed does seem like it would be more universal though. Interested to see where both of these approaches go.

• 
  @GerenM63Ай бұрын

  I played the Osmose at Knobcon last year -- it is a fabulous instrument to play. People had said they thought it was difficult getting used to the keyboard, but I didn't find it difficult to play at all. I agree with you about the Arturia approach. It's certainly more approachable by folks who are just coming into MPE from having just aftertouch. I also wonder how much additional challenge there is in implementing the per-key vibrato on an analog synth vs. a digital one... Cheers!

  great jam and chat stream, Geren I managed to listen to the full thing while at work today now I need to know what NDI means 🤔

• 
  @GerenM633 ай бұрын

  Glad you enjoyed it! NDI is an enhanced video-over-IP protocol developed by Newtek/Visrt, initially for connecting, controlling, and synchrozing video cameras with a Newtek Tricaster. You can also now use it to bring NDI sources into OBS (and OBS can, itself become an NDI source). And, the NDI Tools apps can allow iPhones and iPads to become NDI cameras. In the case of the camera I'm using right now, with an appropriate network switch, power to the camera can also be provided over the network cable. So, on cable to the camera carries power, audio, video, and control.

  @@synkrotron The question I'd as is "Do you even need it?" I personally think that you've got things pretty well covered. In my case, I wanted to be able to use a single camera to provide multiple angles, and I'm limited in the number of inputs on my switcher. I don't use the NDI functions of the camera -- my switcher doesn't support it, so I've got separate HDMI, power, and control cables coming out of the camera.

  The nice thing about your ATEM device is that the stream did not stop while your computer was restarting. Good! It has been a while since I used Vital and you reminded me how much fun it is to use, such a great user interface. I really enjoyed the Roland Pad you created. Wavetables rule!

• 
  @GerenM635 ай бұрын

  The ATEM was not exactly perfect either, in this instance -- but probably not the fault of the ATEM itself. Because of the way I'm set up, I did lose the mic during the reboot, not that I said anything while I was rebooting. I really like Vital a lot for it's ease of use and clarity of design -- and most anything I've made with it sounds great. Downfalls (for me) are that it plays marginally with Komplete Kontrol, it doesn't have a true sequencer on-board and that it's oscillator types are a little limited (no granular, or instance). Still, it's a great tool. And, once I remember how to use it to make wavetables, I should be able to use it to make wavetables for re-use in Pigments or other wavetable synths. I'm glad you liked the ROLAND pad -- but it's not finished yet! Next time, I'll work on making it more "playable" by adding things like modwheel and aftertouch support and assigning macros.
