I just bought a synthesizer

[Kentz]

[QUOTE=One Long Sausage;16304877]yes but there should be an octave shift button to allow you to move to higher and lower octaves[/QUOTE]

Transpose?

[One Long Sausag]

[pentium]

What? No DX7?
FM synthesis rules.

damn fucking right
bit complicating compared to subtractive and additive though

I'm looking at buying a drummachine atm. Just having some trouble with deciding between the Jomox Airbase 99 or a Novation Drumstation (V2 most likely). Found 'em both for a reasonable and similar price.

Anyone happen to have one of these?

I bought this at a pawn shop for 25 dollars.

I really don't know what to do. I've been looking for programs that allow me to play instruments and stuff from it, but most of the ones I am finding aren't too great.

That's a midi controller, designed for sending midi data to standalone synth modules and digital audio workstations. It produces no sound on its own.

If you got a midi-to-usb plug, swing by [url=http://www.kvraudio.com/]KRV Audio[/url] for all your virtual instrument/digital audio workstation needs so you can put that thing to good use. Look at the [url=http://www.kvraudio.com/plugin-ranks.php]ranks page[/url] to look for effects, instruments, and host programs. I highly recommend getting [url=http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/index.html#down]Synth1[/url], which does a great job at emulating Nord sounds.

I tried to have sex with a minimoog once

[QUOTE=Volokh;16298877]I want it! but I spent all my money on a kaossilator!

I have one of those, I bought a synthesizer at the same time. I got a MicroKorg, great analogue features. Brilliant little synth, would reccommend. And the Kaossilator is just the coolest thing on the planet.

i want a synth so bad but they're so damn expensive :(

you could use soft synths as an alternative, freeware ones that is

They are. Without one, my home made music would suffer.
