If I was going to buy a Deepmind (and I don’t have any current intention to do so), it would be for the envelopes since you can modify them so extensively. That still stands out as a really cool feature to me that a lot of synths don’t have. In particular, the ability to modify the curves of each stage.

I noticed that as well and really liked it. I’m trying to control my GAS after getting a Digitakt, but now I keep thinking if I had an analog poly keyboard synth my setup would be “complete” (two samplers, analog mono and poly synth).
Relic, that would be a GREAT setup and the DM12 can be had for relatively cheap. the Synth to $ ratio is GREAT with that one, esp if you buy used.

Haha. Not helping 
And I think I would have to have the 12 voice even though I don’t play keys…all you can do with unison on that thing sounds amazing. I’m sure they can be had used for a really nice deal. The street price new isn’t too shabby either.

yeah the DM6 is just not enough IMO w the way the voice modes work. for pads I’m often stacking 3 voices per note and dialing in the drift for that Com Truise-y warble. It makes you forget its a DCO synth.

I think I have a responsibility to myself to at least give one a go for a while before diving into the 1k+ poly analog options.
So, you can tell it to stack how ever many voices per note?
yes, there are like 6 (im not sitting in front of it) mono modes ranging from 1-6 DCO’s per voice and then 6 unison modes for the same type of config.
in that same section menu you can dial in parameter drift and voice drift, there is a unison detune mode as well. its REALLY well thought out.
dont get me started on the mod matrix. its GREAT

Yeah, looks like a real cool update.
I must have spaced on the voicing modes when Batt went over it. That’s cool. I did notie the drift and detune stuff. I’ve had that on a DCO synth before and if you dial it in right sounds quite nice.
its the only Juno106 copy(ish) thing that i’ve encountered that can get into Oberheim territory.

Gotta say, the new force os Update needs to come to MPC Live too. For me the macros changes EVERYTHING when it comes to fingerdrumming.

really, is this new news as i can’t find anything about it.
Someone on their forums mentioned Brad had talked about it. Allegedly on Facebook or possibly Instagram, I poked around on IG but might have missed something, not familiar with the site…
edit yeah he said it was in a reply to a reply or something and so it’s extremely tedious to dig up. well okay…

This morning i was curious if there was any firmware updates for the TR-09 whilst looking i found Roland had discontinued the machine a year ago, so i looked on eBay and there were folks selling them secondhand for more than double the price i payed brand new. Im wondering if i should grab a TR-08 before they are discontinued.
anyway there was a firmware update i didn’t have and also this was a perfect excuse for me to take my usual obligatory photo

what’s with this lately? Modest gear going for silly prices when discontinued o.O MPC Studio Blacks going for $500, $600 when I think it was $300 new? eBay is a silly place…
Teenage Engineering OP-1 had kind of a strange pricing story. TE stopped making them and used ones started fetching a really high price on eBay (above street price new). Then TE started making them again but for the silly used price nc the cost of components went up or something.
I don’t know all the details but a buddy of mine bought a new one in the last year nad was telling me about it.
Yes relic your on the right path about the OP-1 storey but Teenage engineering did one rather sneaky thing.
Teenage engineering seen the high prices on Ebay, and come out with a statement “don’t buy from eBay as we are making more soon” then when they did release more they were priced at the same inflated prices as eBay, more than double the price they used to sell them for.
A very sneaky move, i was one of the people who held back and saved my money to buy one, then i seen the price. Everything that company did from then on i hoped and prayed would be a flop like that crap flat pack eurorack they did and that crap speaker thing they are about to release, i hope it all flops for the greedy ba$tards.

Yes! That was my vague memory was that the price of the second batch as suspiciously the average used price on eBay lol.
Yet people snapped them up apparently. The power of demand and disposable income shrug

I wish Machinedrums were modestly priced…but I think that the lxr may be the answer to my itch for drum design.
