session frog

That’s a name for a field-recording lowercase ambient act right there.

Prep for a small gig at the spring greeting at my shared studiospace in hamburg.

A friend is moving and wanted to get rid of a couple synths that needed minor repair.

I knew about the SY77 but I didn’t know I was getting a Juno-106.

I´m super happy with this setup for guitar / mics / synths:

All is routed through a mixer where Cosmos and Norns sit in the two available fx sends. I like that both devices and the grid are in a rack drawer.

Another great thing is the power strip. It makes power management easy and one switch is able to turn on all devices.

The other drawer on the bottom stores additional cables and mics.

The whole setup is on wheels. Super portable and not too big of a footprint.

Before I move house again, this is my current iteration.

Affectionately nicknamed the stack.

sometimes it’s nice to just do some simple east coast stuff. love to @Aaron_Taylor-Waldman for letting me use his buchla and @zbs for letting me use their keyboard

[Localprestige]

Oh wow. Should we anticipate music applications from this little device?! Didn’t even occur to me.

[P1505]

Very simple ones. But yes.

Loving the Casiotone OP-Z

[telegraph_hill]

how do you like the NLDR?

[edrapley]

I absolutely love the NDLR, it’s my favourite piece of midi gear for using with norns.

I think it works well whatever your level of skill/knowledge as a musician.

I have almost no skill or knowledge and can happily mess about, tweaking parameters and have it respond with musically coherent output. Which feels great.

Someone with more experience could approach it with a lot of intentionality and really shape what it does.

The videos by loopop and oscillator sink are a great introduction.

For me it’s at its most powerful when controlling multiple synths, lots of the youtube demos are set up this way.

[SPIKE]

good to hear it works with norns really well!

i’m about to acquire one in a trade on Wednesday!

[Tides]

Norns plus Cosmos, I bet that’s endless fun!

[wormhole]

getting my head around Milky Way, i strongly suspect i’ll be swapping it out for an ALM MFX when they become available

[zbs]

did you build those into the analog keys?? Or is that just an optical illusion?

[wormhole]

yea that section of the chassis was routed out to fit 26hp of shallow modules (euro psu mounted internally)

[Kiaaaaan]

Just want my place doesn’t look like a studio but a cozy home. The room is pretty small but I like my stuffs getting more and more and pile up a lot.
There are also some horns hiding under the stand, I actually use them more often than these synths for composing.

Love the look of that clear top fates case, did not realize how closely it relates to the scale of a 64 grid.
