Awesome! Give us a view of the wall, I wanna see those toys. Shit makes me jealous
Pictures of your setup
The pic probably makes it look a bit higher than it is, I am only 5’9 and can still play the top rack fine.
The Hydra is way fucking cool but I haven’t even begin to scratch the surface, only had it a couple weeks. It has some fucking awesome features with the routing and patching through the mod matrix and macros.
The pads on the desktop version respond very well, I actually enjoy the change up of playing them instead of keys like my other Synths.
It is the most versatile piece of gear on my rack for sure! That and the simplicity of my Roland System 1 are my babies lol. I have a love hate relationship with the microfreak, that’s why she’s top shelf. Next will be diving full into modular at some point, I fucking love modular but shit gets pricey
I took this one about two weeks ago, stuff gets moved around.
and this rack behind me when I’m at my desk
My first FM, so far it makes sense as it also doubles up as a six osc subtractive synth. I’m planning a reese for tomorrow…
Very slick! I could stare at modular all day, love that setup. So much eye candy I almost missed the bottle of Jack!
Nice dude, cant go wrong with Korg! The only FM I have is the Korg Volca FM and even that little thing can be impressive, have fun. First time seeing that unit but will be watching some videos on it tonight now lol. I am eyeing the Moog Matriarch myself, that will probably round out my synth collection for using keys.
I need to start figuring out which modules I want to buy to start rounding out some modular and piecing it together in my head, so much good shit it is hard to figure out where to start.
I know what angle to take pics so I don’t show the utter devastation and chaos that is my bedroom.
MIDI and weirdness pretty much go hand in hand in my experience ;p Hope you get it sorted soon.
Don’t see one in the pic, if you are not using a MIDI patchbay/thrubox I would maybe look into some. It will help with all the weirdness by cleaning up timing and jitter issues between hardware.
This is solid advice. I’d get a powered MIDI Thru box though, otherwise you have to depend on one of your hardware devices to send the juice over a MIDI cable.
I got myself this little number and am quite pleased with it:
It is USB powered, which is handy as several other things on my synth desk are also (SQ-80, my clock etc), so I bought a USB “power station” thingy with individual power switches for each port, and it saves a ton of space.
Blue & Green patch cables arrived
LOM Ucho Pro finally arrived after been sat around a slovakian sorting office for over a month.
Dug some “oddities” out of storage for studio decor. Fwiw I try to collect ethically sourced pieces.
