I like the idea of this weekly thread for general discussion. Would we want to do a similar post each week (maybe month depending on interest) for users to post whatever they might be working on? Interesting sounds, cool beats, full songs, whatever. I think it would be cool to have a focus on what these various boxes and dials do and why we all like them so much.
Thanks! It's actually all on the digitone but glad that's what that kick ended up sounding like to other people, that's essentially what I wanted.
That's interesting about adding/removing effects and definitely worth considering. I would probably tend more toward loading my own samples but still relevant.
I have been drawn to the idea of trackers and have tried a few out (e.g. renoise, sunvox on android) because I'm a big fan of stuff like Venetian Snares.
That is pretty weird, I never would have considered that with factory samples/sounds.
RE: Usability - That does kind of make sense from what I've heard, that it isn't really a sound design thing as much as its more for arrangement.
Simple answer: Trying to make songs.
Specific to my gear answer: I bought the Volca FM knowing nothing about synthesis, got a little lost in the programming, and got a Monologue to try out analog. Monologue is great but man do I love those weird and sometimes (subjectively) terrible FM sounds so that's how i got to the digitone, needing more capabilities and features.
How do you like the Tracker? That's a piece of gear I've always flirted with but never had the guts to pull the trigger on or ever had a chance to play with.
