The Hardware Megathread


#5797


I forgot that too…


#5798

We share info on real synths there too, not just the hardware wannabes :smiley:


#5799

Woah woah woah. There are hardware wannabes? That might get me to peak in on #synths at the Discord occasionally


#5800

Now, ignore my ownership of Spire and like 10,000 presets :eyes:


#5801

Wow, Koala Sampler, a 5£ app, apart from being a great sampler and super fun to use, can now split audio into vocals/drums/bass/other…


#5802

Wow, I didn’t expect that sort of feature at all. Very cool.


#5803

For that money I might have to try the app just for that. I guess I could even run audio out of the iPad and sample directly into my hardware sampler instead of messing about transferring files.


#5804

Even without that feature Koala sampler is the best sampling app out there, like an SP-404 on steroids.


#5805

This was made on Koala only, sampling stuff around the house directly to my phone.

Very nice. Maybe I’ll have to DL to my phone and make a beat after your method.


#5807

I broke the fast. Two Pioneer XDJ1000mk2s on back order.


#5808

Worthwhile


#5809

Seems relevant to some people’s interests here:

I’m gonna try to make one since I use an iPhone/iPad for my bass rig now and nobody makes a wireless foot controller suitable to my needs :joy:

And I have a lot of Arduinos kicking around I should really learn how to do shit with.


#5810

Akai just gave MPCs a tuner and amp sims in 2.11…


#5811

And my MPC is in a repair queue of doom…
But as I was in the beta I had a chance to have fun with it already and it is really good, drive on the amp simulator goes up to 11…


#5812

Spent some time making some samples with the cycles, and then decided to make a quick loop and we think we have the start of a new track


#5813

It’s time to clean the pads on my DR660. Any recommendations on a cleaning solution? My first thought was 91% alcohol and a q-tip.


#5814

I’m certainly no kind of expert but yea high percentage alcohol is usually my go to for anything electronic.


#5815

not everclear. get 90% isopropyl alcohol. :wink:


#5816

If it second hand gear I receive I tend to open it up scrub the case in soap and water, and put all the buttons/knobs in a cup of bleach for 10 minutes.
