What's your latest purchase & what are your intentions with it? [pics ftw] (Part 2)

What I miss about the NL4 is that “smooth” random LFO. I dont have it on my other synths!!!

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.

Lumen is great. I used it quite a bit a few years back. I think the company is from Portland Oregon too.

Here’s something I made with it.

Do you modular? (Lots of smooth random there.) I even make them :wink:

Nice! I actually prefer the RD-8 for 808ish sounds, but the TR8-S sounds great, and has so much more flexibility. Plus it’s more fun for live tomfoolery!

Since I’m currently on a software kick, I think I must check this out. Still a day and a half left of vacation :smiley:

Ooooh! Enjoy!! Followed the inception through Flux with it’s channel and even though I’m on the OT I love what I’ve seen from this bad boy!

I’m curious! I can’t help but noticing I’m attracted by a Clavia instrument. I love the nord drum and click well with how these instruments are designed and sound.

I haven’t experienced the non drum instruments though and have to educate myself, between wave 1 or 2, various nord lead models…

Happy for you Adam!

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 o’ 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 it’s almost vintage at this point, it is just so well made (hardware and software) that it still holds up as a great synth!

I only bought the TR8s because I’m still waiting for the RD-8MKII and RD-9 pre order. I’ll end up keeping all 3 when they eventually arrive (The Behringer stuff that is, been waiting since June just for the RD-9) but at least I have a drum machine to play with over Christmas. :+1:

It’s really cool. Demo is fully functional, you just can’t save and there’s a watermark on the output video.

These units are so good and so flexible. I have two JV1080’s (both loaded with sound cards) that I’ve used the hell out of.

Is it me, or are mc303 making a comeback for some weird reason?
(That is what’s above the elektron, yes?)

Managed to grab an as new Alesis Micron (red) just now from eBay for £175 I used to own one years and years ago and after watching a ton of YouTube videos today I figured it’d make a great drone synth and maybe make some multi sample stuff from my MPCX with it.
Due to be delivered this coming Thursday.

The Alesis stuff is so great. I keep staving off just going all in on an andromeda. Don’t know how much longer I’m gonna last.
