Well I wondered about that earlier in the thread, if you read up... :beamup: Although reading Roger Linn's comments about the Behringer LinnDrum today, it rather makes one wonder how Behringer manages to price these things so cheap.... makes me suspect if their build quality wouldn't be just as ...

What? You're meant to play with TWO hands? Oh dear, I'll have to learn all over again. Music is like sex, there are many ways to reach what is basically the same place, and you don’t need two hands sometimes, one will do. :D In that case I consider myself musically bisexual, that is, I can make m ...

Thomann dropped the price of the UB-Xa keyboard again: 899 euro, or, due to the lack of VAT for US buyers, $785. Shipping to me in the US is less than $70 so if I were so inclined I could buy one from Germany for about $340 less than it would cost to buy in the US. https://www.thomannmusic.com ...

Wish Uli would say % of gross from every berry knock oorrff Moog, ARP would go to Bob Moog Foundation and Alan R. Pearlman foundation. A few years earlier Uli reportedly sent $200K to various music charities also reportedly sent Synths to underprivileged as it were schools. They also did a thing ...

I think we should go back 50 years in terms of pricing, expensive instead if cheap. One, it will increase perceived value, two, it will only be available those who really need it and are prepared to make the effort to get it, that aspect acts like a hardware A&R man. It would be quite a novel ...

Off topic... I've mentioned it many times... The Audiothingies MicroMonsta2 is not only the best small (and smallest) synth I own, it's also one of the best synths I own - full stop. You really should take a look at it. Back on topic... Slightly on topic, the MicroDexed-Touch is a great all-in-one ...

GliGli, creator of the updated Prophet 600 firmware (which was used with permission and some further modifications by Behringer in the Pro-800), has released a new synthesizer project. It's not quite a wavetable synth, but uses single-cycle digital waveforms, similar to the old Korg DW-6000/8000 ...

I've been looking forward to the Wave for a few years but $900 is an oof. Weird that the original video shown in that video no longer appears to be online.

Features/demo video from Starsky Carr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUYQsCQOea8 Enthusiastic demo video from Doctor Mix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSuzg2vpNjI I dig what it does how it does it. Had my eyes on it from when they were raising funds. Just trifle steep for me. Were it 400squid ...

The toy sampler won't have any of the actual sampling, editing and sound shaping abilities of this thing. Or the connectivity.

Thomann has it in stock: https://www.thomannmusic.com/kiviak_instruments_wofi.htm I've been keeping an eye on this since it was announced, it's the first keyboard sampling workstation-type device that isn't a repackaged MPC made in quite a while. The features are interesting but as is typical with ...

Everything I read about the Hydrasynth seems to be salutory, I keep looking at the website, advert etc it's getting closer to Xmas,,,hmmmmmmm If you want to dip your toes, the Explorer has the Polytouch (albeit mini keys. nice ones, but mini nonetheless) and the full engine of the big boys. However ...

€/$900 makes it the most expensive one of these Raspberry Pi based digital synths. I like some of the features like the 60 voices & 4-part multi-timbrality, but the packaging continues to leave something to be desired (stereo outputs with 4 part multi-timbrality, sigh. Also the knob placement blocks ...

The Microdexed-Touch project creator has started work on a PDF manual for the project that consolidates all of the scattered git info pages. 32~mb PDF file with BOM/build/use instructions. https://codeberg.org/positionhigh/MicroDexed-touch/raw/branch/main/doc/MicroDexed-touch-manual.pdf Wow, thanks ...

https://i.imgur.com/J9CwxHF.jpeg Behringer floating another 'concept' for community feedback, this time the POLYOsc, apparently a poly- or paraphonic OSCar clone. What jumps out at me is: Mini-keyboard. That's a new form-factor for them and we know how they love to roll out a form and then reuse it ...

That's gonna be kind of rough going forward because most if not all microcontroller-based non-commercial projects are going to be using something like GitHub for everything. The MD-T one isn't very well organized due to all of the information, but that's why there's a chatroom for help. The PCBWay ...

Try clicking on the link to order the case... WTF?!?!? I'm not sure what you're seeing, it works fine for me. Full explanation of PCB + Assembly vs PCB only: https://codeberg.org/positionhigh/MicroDexed-touch/wiki/Troubleshooting-Guide-and-FAQ If you're not seeing the PCBWay order site you may have ...

Have you seen the MicroDexed-Touch project? It's a fairly easy build. Saw this last week and was going to give it a bash... I couldn't even figure out how to order the parts! I gave up after 5 attempts. The PCBWay parts? Or the other stuff for the build? The PCBWay parts can be ordered here, as ...

In the first instance, I'm seriously thinking about resurrecting the MiniDexed project I started to pull together the bits to make. Particularly as I now have a 3D printer to make a fairly tidy enclosure for it. The idea of a TX816 in a tiny box providing 8 x DX7 capability is pretty appealing ...

There's a growing number of interesting semi-DIY or project-type synths available. I say 'semi' because the difficult surface mount chips come pre-installed on the board and all that's left is thru-hole soldering, and often you can either just buy a fully built one outright or find someone to build ...

Osirus/Vavra/OsTirus The DSP56300 project exists to create an emulation of the Motorola 56300 series DSP chips (and associated hardware) that was used in many late 90s/early 00s synthesizers. Several projects have been released so far and the team is working on more. These aren't so much VSTs as ...

One thing you could do is install it in XP compatibility mode. Right clicking on the .exe programme then Option > Properties > Compatibility. Then ticking the box Run this program in compatibility mode for, then selecting XP, then Apply. Doesn't quite work that way, that's what you'd do if it was ...
