The Hardware Megathread

Yeah, that update is sick!
I think it actually pushed me over the edge to shopping for an mpc one

That seems super interesting, I like the current resurgence of wavetable hardware synths.

Having enough “normal” sound sources… I just pre ordered this latest SOMA madness… I think it was the witchy ladies fingernails that sold me on it :stuck_out_tongue:

Im sure those updates will be on force soon too :wink:

Fuck!

I’ll be patiently awaiting the episode of Ghost Adventures where they come to your house to clean out the demons you summon with that thing.

Have to say, this one does look like a lot of fun and if I understand it correctly it would take some work to even halfway emulate this with software and some controller such as the QuNeo.

Not sure if I would enjoy working with the front panel though - it’s funny and kinda looks like the old Ohmforce VST stuff, but I dunno. I would think about buying it as an audio-educational tool for my boy if this was the real front panel hehe:

Speaking of Ghost Adventures, every now and then they bring out some cheesy bits, I remember once being appalled at them using an iPad amp simulator built into a case to capture some evp.
The effects chain showed a bit reducer, filter and eq. As if they were trying to hone in on certain sound and almost generate them…

I feel that like all Soma Labs stuff this is meant to be a performance tool. A dark techno set with this and a drum machine could be quite something, so would something like Sunn o))) which seems to be the obvious inspiration for the video.

I see lots of heavier acts sporting this in the future.

Oh they are so bad, the least scientific of the least scientific. And I know exactly the device you mean that uses that iPad fx rack lol. Its just like paranormal reality porn.

Yet I enjoy watching them.

Uunderstaaand…

hahahaha, yea, I’m not sure exactly what my attraction is…a lot of the locations have a cool history and I enjoy personal interviews so at least the first half of the show is interesting and not just those three bozos running around in the dark screaming every time there is a bug or a slight draft.

my partner and i subscribed to discovery+ just for fake paranormal news.

Not 100% sure but I regularly have to listen to podcasts about bloated bodies found in a river at 930am before caffeine…lol

Ew!!

Which ones though?

Which podcasts? If you really wanna know Ill ask. One of them she calls the “fuck word murder podcast” but that isnt the real name…its two women from Cali…

Applicable to the HW thread. I think I built like 500 ft of TRS cable the wrong way around to send midi signals (40 ft leads at most but multiple)

Maybe it was the lead fumes, maybe it was me being a total fuckwit. I had to walk away after a 16 hour day mucking about w this shit and will solve it in the morning.

Big takeaway? Don’t tour w bands who expect one to customize everything. Oh and handle your weed. (I was sober when I made the cables and “wonky” when I tested)
