What a berry nice place. Your music made me consider getting a real synthesizer instead of just using VSTs for my music. Have a wonderful day! ~~Berryn 2023-04-09(Sun)19:45:57 No.123

Thanks. I wonder why it made you think that? I mostly use VSTs but I did get a couple synths recently. Sadly I haven't had much time to learn to use them very well yet. ~~cidoku ## Admin 2023-04-09(Sun)20:46:46 No.124

Your Riders album was pretty great. I really like the sounds there. Now I want a real hardware synth to play around and make my own tones too. :cool:

I'm glad you liked Riders! I'm not too sure what to think about it myself. I had to rush it for an online event that wasn't so good, so there are some things I wish I could have done differently. But, yeah, real synths are fun! ~~cidoku ## Admin 2023-04-14(Fri)07:58:14 No.126

See, there is always somebody who will like your stuff the way it is. Do not fret so much over stuff that happened and do it better next time to make up for it, just so.

Btw, I tried getting some real synth but the guy I always get stuff from just did not have any (because everyone wants one these days and finding one gets harder and more expensive by the day, he said) and looking for them online they are quite expensive and shipping is so annoying. I think I might as well just learn how to code my own digital synths instead, maybe I could create something great. ~~Berryn 2023-04-15(Sat)13:46:23 No.127

Thank you for the kind words, friend. I never want to stop trying.

I was lucky to find my synths locally, used, for "reasonable" prices. Aside from the Volca Sample (which is a real fun machine, even if I'm not too sure how I feel about its raw sound), the other two machines I have (a Minilogue and a TD-3) are analog.

I might be wrong, but I'm of the impression that digital synths are no different from using VSTs, except with buttons and knobs; and even though buttons and knobs are good enough reasons to get a physical digital synth anyway, I can use a cheap MIDI controller with VSTs for the same experience, so I went with the analogs... Of course, making your own synths is waaaay cooler than buying a synth, and I bet you could gain a much deeper intuition for sound design that way. ~~cidoku ## Admin 2023-04-15(Sat)14:39:18 No.128

So great you found some. Now that I think about it, the shop guy used to have a broken minimoog but he sent it to be repaired; maybe once it gets back to the store I might be able to get it, who knows?

Btw I meant VST, sorry. I thought digital synths were computer programs but apparently they are their own hardware after all. I already learned some audio engineering for mixing and I am wondering if maybe learning how to synth might be the next frontier. LADSPA sounds fun to try. ~~Berryn 2023-04-16(Sun)19:03:49 No.129

Oh, don't worry, I knew you meant VST. Making your own hardware synth is, of course, a completely different story. Well, what else can I do but to wish you good luck? If you ever end up making something, don't forget to show it to your good pal cid! I'm always reading this thing. ~~cidoku ## Admin 2023-04-17(Mon)12:07:32 No.131
