Thankfully for things other than books (and maybe also for books), a lot of companies offer two day shipping now. Sometimes there's an order minimum for that but I find that most of the time my purchase exceeds the order minimum anyway.

Stranjah's tutorial videos are really good, and to the point without a ton of fluff. His jungle break videos were enlightening in a way nothing else was.

This is the weirdest fucking thing I've seen on the Internet in a long time.

God damn. My girl passed away a couple years ago. I honestly don't know if I could afford to continue to feed her if she was still alive - this was the exact dog food she got.

That only that only works sometimes, unfortunately. About half the time when I go directly to a community from an instance I'm not on, my only option is to sign up with an account, not to subscribe with my current account from my home instance.

The Reddit deprogramming goes deep, for sure. I still find myself deleting comments here after typing them out because there is a 50/50 chance of getting abuse or arguments from someone for basically anything you post on that site.

I got mine in mid April and my feelings on it are very mixed. It sounds really good, but it can be kind of a pain to use. Most of the menus make sense, but putting the mixer behind a shift function is baffling, and pretty much kills it for live use for me. I really hate the save structure as well.

I really only use a couple of the oscillator models, so a lot of its potential is wasted on me - I mostly use 3d, 4d, Juno and 101 models, I don't really care for the others. Like you said modulation options are really lacking, and even though I like some of the sounds I had a really hard time fitting them into something that sounds like me rather than like Roland.

I got it primarily for the 101 and Juno models, and those turned out to be either just an overlay for the interface rather than actual emulations, or a really mediocre emulation. I picked up the S-1, which is amazing, and now I am thinking about selling the 4d. I just don't know if I can justify the space it takes and I think I would rather put that money somewhere else.

I just kind of kept trying, sometimes it works and sometimes not. Copy pasting the hyperlink rather than the !link thing seemed to work.

My setup has been in a state of flux lately - the stuff in the second list is kind of on the chopping block at the moment. I just got a Push 3, so if I like it the MPC One will almost certainly be going. Feel free to ask about anything, I love talking about it all!

Things I use constantly:

• Peak (my first synth, still one of my faves)
• Take5 (my absolute favorite)
• Digitakt
• MPC One (mostly for sequencing the non-Elektrons)
• Roland S-1
• Op6

Things I use less often:

• Microfreak
• Typhon
• Roland SH-4d
• Syntakt (DT tends to be more useful in more contexts)
• Korg ER-1

A handful of FX pedals:

• EQD Hizumitas, Boss CE-2w, Digitech Obscura and Polara (all of those usually on the Freak)
• Champion Leccy Skitter (tremolo/reverb)
• Poly Beebo (anything)
• DBA Rooms (reverb)
• Kinotone Ribbons (tape emulation/ modulation)

It all gets recorded into Ableton, where I finish the song. I actually don't use the FX pedals in finished productions too much, aside from the Microfreak chain - I like having more control in the arrangement phase.

It's beautiful. Hydra + Pulsar + Octa or DT seems like a wild combo.

Right on! What are your favorite features, compared to other grooveboxes? Mine arrived early this week, I had a chance to boot it up for a few mins yesterday. Fingers crossed the updates/ sign in go smoothly.

I think it's more likely that they will go to Elektronauts, Modwiggler, etc. The barrier to entry to use Lemmy is relatively high, comparatively. An unclear structure, server issues everywhere due to the influx of users, etc.
