funny I was contacted after 3 year wait for a cirklon but by then I already had a dozen good sequencers and clocks to sync together and spending 3k for just a hardware sequencer was hard to imagine at this point. I may get one eventually if I need to chain a dozen synths together. But Iād rather just use an audio interface, mixer and DAW at that stage.
I will use this with my Make Noise Shared System and OP-1 to sample my larger modular eurorack system and take to jams and local events. I love how well thought out it is and Pamela New Workout with Squid Salmple is a match made in heaven. I am still trying to get the hang of Quad Megaslope and the MCO/MCF is different sounding combo but all good. A quick beat box patch I made last night with it:
In many ways, it reminds me of a scaled down Eurorack version of an Elektron Octatrack for modular synthesis.
To pair with my Digitoneās 4 MIDI tracks, perfect match, very different and complementary sounds. Completes my live rig of AR mkI + DN + Nord Micromodular. I have a lust for small and powerful, donāt care about real analog, and love feature-packed gear.
I was hoping to hold out for any potential Black Friday deals on this, but I made something I wanted to save in the demo, so purchased a license. Really neat program. Thanks to @SpaceTraffic for making me aware of it.
Nice! I actually prefer the RD-8 for 808ish sounds, but the TR8-S sounds great, and has so much more flexibility. Plus itās more fun for live tomfoolery!
Iām curious! I canāt help but noticing Iām attracted by a Clavia instrument. I love the nord drum and click well with how these instruments are designed and sound.
I havenāt experienced the non drum instruments though and have to educate myself, between wave 1 or 2, various nord lead modelsā¦
I have a Nord Lead 2 and its probably one of my favorite synths Ive ever owned⦠BUT its not because it does great analogue sounds but its more because of How quirky it is. Resonance past twelve oā clock for instance does weird things when doing filter sweeps.
Also the way it responds to velocity is fantastic. Some of the factory patches are incredible⦠so even though the synth is simple in its architecture and that itās almost vintage at this point, it is just so well made (hardware and software) that it still holds up as a great synth!
