Oh, and yes, this also applies to posting in a forum. Forgot to mention, but you reminded me.

While it is great fun for the artist himself (I know exactly where you're coming from because I love those sessions myself), the audience will run away slowly but surely, unless they think they're part of an avantgarde-art-high-end-event they actually don't enjoy but think it's cool to tell their peeps afterward.

Same thoughts.
Well, I picked Make Noise 0-Coast, which is certainly not the workhorse synth, rather experiemental contraption.
Still, I figured out to record anything, I need to already know what to record - need to have melody and progressions in place and just tweak the knobs. Otherwise, whatever I record will end up in a trash,. as it's not possible to change the melody anymore once it's recorded :/
Maybe if I had sequencer, things would work quicker. But Ableton shoudl already cover all sequencer needs I could think of.
All in all, I took several attempts to get track running with 0-Coast, but didn't get far as yet. I took a break for now and decided to learn stuff (psytrance) with more conventional setup.

To me, nothing beats the 'organic feel' that is given by turning and tweaking real knobs. It's remarkably different from the 'bookkeeping'-style of music that often comes out of pure sequencer work.
The price you pay for that is the lack of 'total recall'.
Well, you can't have it all.

in the OPs defense. when the model D and neuron got released earlier in the year, the analogue synth forums and social media buzz around them went nuts .. people were buying them like crazy because the price point is a helluva lot more competitive than what Moog, Korg or Roland price their analog synths at.Mushy Mushy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2019 5:59 pmHave to agree. Even if I'm spending £100 on something I still read countless reviews and watch hours and hours of YouTube to ensure it's right for me.mholloway wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2019 5:56 pmSome people do the slightest amount of basic research before throwing hundreds of dollars at new things.
Others, apparently, do not.... and get what they deserve.
I mean, it took more effort to sign up and post on KVR than it would have to learn about the synths you were buying.
I mean, this must be a troll, right? This is just too stupid.
This would be like me walking into modularland blind, and then complaining about the wires.

You're right I had NFI how to handle that gear, I just loved the sound of both, that's what happens when you have more budget than time. Also, I don't see any issue with that approach, I'm sure that you can learn drive a car faster when you have it rather than you just read about it on the internet.

no one can die if you mess up recording a synth
