Thanks, Steven!StevenO wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 4:07 amYou owe it to yourself to buy the mellotron app for iPad and plug your Keystep into it (with a camera connector kit, if you don't already have it). Really wonderful app and sounds quite like the real deal.Maggieo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 05, 2019 10:11 amUPDATE!

It was definitely a synth Xmas. Blame it on this documentary: Synth Britannia. (This is the full doc- 90 minutes or so.)

The Mellowsound App, to be precise. I think there's a couple and I liked that the best.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
I've cycled through more synths than I count. Currently "trying" to be a minilalist but we know that's impossible.
Hardware
Moog Sub Phatty
DSI Prophet Rev2
Eurorack
3x Synthrotek DSM modules
Winter Modular Eloquencer
Erica Synths Polivoks VCF1
Erica Synths Polivoks VCF2
2x Erica Synths Pico Drums
Futuretro Transient Plus
Zvex LoFi Junky Modular
Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz
2x Mutable Instruments Peaks (most useful thing ever)
Pittsbugh Modular LFO2
2x 2hp Pluck
Pittsburgh Modular Mix/attenuator
2hp Mix
Behringer Model D
Moog DFAM
* here is my modulargrid link
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/785264
Software:
RolandCloud Juno 106 (sounds so good that I sold my original Juno 106)
Omnisphere 2.5
* Arturia CS80 (I listed it here because it sounds great but I don't know how to use it)
I have a lot of software synths - Arturia V collection, Native Instruments everything, and a bunch others. However, the ones I really use are the two listed above. I've had the Prophet 6, the Moog Model D reissue, Subsequent 37, Juno 106, and various Korg and Roland synths. I ended up with my list above because of overall cost, and space. The Sub Phatty is such an underrated little monster. The DSI Rev 2 can cover a lot of ground. And both work perfectly as fully mapped controllers to Omnisphere. I don't feel like I'm missing anything despite having had the "best" before.

EDIT
I bought an akai timbre wolf the other night, waiting anxiously for it to arrive. Scored it for cheap on ebay

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
I just bought a Korg Minilogue XD.
For my musical tastes 95% of the sounds are crap, but the remaining 5%, plus the engines/patches that others have created, are wild.
Already used in in a session and the moody pad I created works so well with my 76 Wurlitzer fills.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
Very cool. I don't own one, but you're right. The stock patches are fairly uninspiring, but they're capable of some nice sounds for sure.sookwinder wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 4:14 amI just bought a Korg Minilogue XD.

Now you just need a Minimoog, a Prophet 5, and a Jupiter 8.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
It will be quickly done, I only have one, besides my old pre WWII upright piano :
1975(?) Rhodes MKI Stage 88
Serial tells 1975, but features look more 1978ish, so I'm not sure.
