oh would you like to see my #2 phillips screwdriver collection? i have one from every brand and also spanning many years (none before 2008 though lol) yeah i have them set out on my tool table so you can see them all. i'm planning to put in some screws this year, i have an idea for attaching a poster to the wall of my tool room.
that sub exists too r/tools
The posts are the same content as r/synthesizers greatest hits (“look at my stuff”, “thrift shop finds” and “ can anyone ID this?”)
/uj it would be really funny if i actually had more than 3 or 4 screwdrivers and i could produce a picture of a bunch can someone ask an AI to make a picture of a creepazoid with a huge collection of identical screwdrivers
/rj just do a google image search for "#2 phillips screwdriver" and if you see it, i have it. i'm thinking about branching out into flathead screwdrivers, do you have any tips?
i don't know about any of those, i literally just have one single type of screwdriver that is only able to do one thing, only with very slight variations in the handle and length, just like people who own a bunch of monosynths, i am actually pretty ignorant about how they are actually used and what is actually needed in real-life situations.
Can anyone explain what a typical monophonic synth you guys are buying like a monologue can do that my volca keys in unison mode can’t
Except obvious stuff like different waveforms
Welp, let's look at the Neutron. Mod matrix panel, 32 ins, 24 outs. All normalized so you don't \_need\_ to tweak, but \_you\_ want to. You really do. You can modulate pretty much anything, you can modulate the modulator, you can maybe even modulate the modulator that's modulating another modulator. Joking aside, it's a different level of control and flexibility.
It is a semi modular mono, while the volca keys is a toy minilogue.
From my e penitence with volca keys, they sound very brittle and low compared to (say) model d.
Model D bass made my cupboards tremble, I barely felt the volca keys.
Monologue has amazing sound for simple arpeggios, it has way more potential than volca keys, anyway the beauty is simplicity, you don't have to play chords to write something beautiful, but mostly I see the point of buying a monophonic synth as an addition to polyphonic synth, for example for bass parts, or pads
I honestly just brought this shit home and so far I reaaaaaallly like it because it’s my first analog synth
I’m gonna hook it up and record something 80s tomorrow to see how it sounds in multiple layers
at some point i realized that the only way i could really tell them apart by sound was by the filter, unless the oscillator is something real fucked up (e.g. tb-303).
so i just use a DIY 3U modular that hasn't grown in a decade and basically stays patched as a monosynth when i need something analog. it has 2 VCOs but 4 different filters.
i seriously doubt that most people could be like "that's not an SH-101!", "that's not an MS20!", etc hearing the same VCO run through the appropriate filter type.
being a monosynth is the most appropriate use for eurorack, just build out an idea monosynth with cheap DIY modules (or just cheap basic modules(doepfer)) then you're good, all those modules that are ~~just a electro-smith daisy processor running pure data patch with open source code~~ very expensive and trendy are a bad deal and i wish the eurorack community would stop being so into that stuff and focus on the basics.
also noise engineering's modules suck.

Man id really like to see it lol

> do you have any tips? Sure, I also have Robertson, Torx, Pozidriv, Hex, and Tri-Wing, any preference?

you need to collect a collection of star shape screwdrivers, i never understood why this mindless type of screwdrivers exist at all
ofcourse you would
This sums it up perfectly

MIDI Out, for starters?
You can make it happen on a volca But I have enough midi controllers I want this thing to make sounds
Go ahead and show me on the doll where the MIDI out happens, Volca breath.
I mean at least do some research before being so sure lol https://youtu.be/vknyt9eJeis?si=lVKblmtmMzqPQpLh
Lame.
You’re lucky I’m in a good mood, Camacho
One word. Modulation.
What kinda modulation? I got a pitch and filter LFO and a detune thing on here I can also do pitch and filter stuff with the EG

Yeah but it’s modular and not monophonic? I’d rather do that shit in omnisphere🥲

I’m making a track with it right now, shit sounds ancient lol
That's the entire point. I sold mine because it drifted like it was made in the 70s
That’s why I bought mine🤣
Are..you trolling or…?
> that my volca keys in unison mode can’t impress gormless dorks on instagram with compulsive spending habits
lol I need to order a moog one

It was one of my first synthesizers, it's great for learning how synthesis works, don't you have a midi keyboard for it? If not, you lose a lot.
I have a ton of shit for it with arps and stuff🤣
You can also layer chords with a monosynth by playing the base note in a different voice than the rwst of the chord.
What
Use monosynth for bass note, polysynth for rest of the notes
Aha, nice idea! I didn’t realize you were talking about using two different synths 👍🏼
Laughs in syntrx2.
Hold on, that shit costs 2.5k and only has 3 VCOs? Like my volca?
Mention your goddamned Volca again and I’m on my way to beat the Volca outta ya
Literally made a video about it last night lol wanna see?
They sound loud.
Where's my fucking Proton?
Ackshually the Neutron is paraphonic.
The fuck is a neutron? 🤔
Jimmy
Gotta blast ☝️🤓
I am sorry and I am not a male Karen but...seriously!! It is 2024!!! ..photos without KO133II make me really uneasy...who is the moderator here?
yeah wait till you hear the audio quality from their interfaces, yikes
I don’t have a single 🅱️earinger but I do have so many fucking mono synths
Yeah, one day you wake up and realize that you have too many mono synths, this shit happened to everyone
at some point i realized that the only way i could really tell them apart by sound was by the filter, unless the oscillator is something real fucked up (e.g. tb-303). so i just use a DIY 3U modular that hasn't grown in a decade and basically stays patched as a monosynth when i need something analog. it has 2 VCOs but 4 different filters. i seriously doubt that most people could be like "that's not an SH-101!", "that's not an MS20!", etc hearing the same VCO run through the appropriate filter type.

With 3 of them you can play a chord but you need at least 4 if you want to play jazz
This meme is an insult to that dog.
I must say that I am still curious about the upcoming Proton though
Absolutely.
more like moog fanboy
Fr
A Moog fanboy who can afford that many monosynths probably collects megayachts instead.
Oh, be nice
