jwhitcomb3 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Been having fun exploring the Boss SY-1000 guitar synth. https://www.boss.info/global/products/sy-1000/ Cool being able to use the actual guitar signal as an oscillator source for any of the three simultaneous synth instruments (along with a signal path for real guitar tones). Here's a demo of a preset I put together over the weekend. One take, no overdubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My right to free speech is under attack! I'm going to sign an Executive Order to clear this up! Or I could just post the thing to SoundCloud... Thanks for letting me know.

I have a bass handy, but no bass GK pickup. A major entry barrier for the SY-1000 is that you need a divided pickup to get the goods (you have access to a small subset of capabilities with a normal pickup).

Please tell me you're going to develop that into a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velorush Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 BTW: (and I don't know if this is of interest, novel, or just *yawn*, but) the JD-Xi has a 1/4 input in the back - plug in a guitar or bass and it becomes a synth controller. Tracks really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixesandsevens Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Anyone tried this thing out? The price is actually pretty reasonable ($250+) ... https://sensel.com/pages/the-sensel-morph Anyone used one of these? The flexibility is really intriguing to me, esp. since I'm on this "west coast" kick with the 0-coast so the crazy sci-fi Buchla overlay looks like a cool compromise vs. buying a real Buchla.

fractal Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I got suckered in by Source Audio's "Win a Pedal if you submit Patches" nonsense. I bought a C4, which is kind of fun. I have to get over some of the programming limitations, but it does track pretty well, and some cool sounds are to be had. I've been submitting some patches to their website, which is also fun because it forces me to make a sound clip at the same time. I think I would love one of those Boss units..

seeker Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I've been angling to get a Hydrasynth since it blew onto the scene last Sept. Popped out of nowhere (albeit project lead is an industry scion). New company (ASM) with unheard of mature beta keyboard -and- desktop models; shipped within 4 months. Powerfull in terms of capability, but the interface is very intuitive. Yes, I've downloaded the manuals. Have been close to getting one a couple times already, but hit a finding rut each time. Was about to order one on Thursday; the day it was back in stock at Sweetwater after a month. Wouldn`t you know you it, my computer blew up on me Wed night. Beginning to wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
