For sure, I'll try it out and let you know how it works. The only thing I can think might be a deal-breaker is if the tape deck has issues with variable speed due to age, beyond the warble that you'd expect, that might cause it to lose sync with the rest of the track. Or, I'm not sure, it might be really noisy depending on how well it's aged. It hasn't been fired up in a long time.

Anyone here use reel to reel tape to add juice while tracking into digital gear? My dad has a Revox B77 and I'm going to try it out. You can monitor the tape-recorded signal while performing, and run that monitor signal into a digital recorder, since the read head is located after the write head. I was thinking of getting a Strymon Deco to add saturation, but if I can save cash and use real tape, that's even more better.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to talking like T-Pain in Zoom chats, in any event, even if pop superstardom doesn't happen.

I got the TC Helicon Perform VE in spite of my dislike of Behringer, because it does everything I want from the Roland, plus some other really cool things that nothing else does. And it was cheaper.

Ha, I mostly just want something fun that makes me want to sing. Distortion, filter, and modulation effects would be more important than pitch correct and harmonizer, although I would probably experiment with using pitch corrected voice as an oscillator source. I know it's GAS, but I also know I'd use it. I guess I don't have questions, I like the way the Roland looks unless someone says don't get it.

Anyone familiar with hardware vocal multi-effects boxes? I'm thinking about the Roland VT-4. I know I can get better and more versatile for less money in a DAW, but I'm not motivated to use a DAW, so going that route will make me play less. I just want something fun that will make me want to sing. The other main contender seems to be TC Helicon, but a) they're the same company as Behringer, and b) I think they don't do exactly what I want, while the Roland does.

New discovery for me, and I'm hooked. The whole album is great, and this is one of the best songs.

That's nuts. The Keystep is already a bargain, and still in production. I don't imagine anyone besides Uli ever looked at it and said "the world needs a cheaper knockoff of this" I hope they sell zero units, but I know they'll probably sell tons.

Holy shit. Those bastards. I didn't know about that. I was thinking I might get a Crave at some point, but nope. Not now.

Hell of a sale on these at thomann.de right now, @Dusty Chalk Edit, shipping to Canada is kinda pricey, so maybe it's not a great deal. But still. Purple.

Hydrasynth has it, but maybe only as a synth, not controller.

Doesn't the Arturia keylab mkii have poly at? They even make a nice looking 88-key version with screw-in wooden legs.

Oh dang, I love how that sounds.

I should do that too. Gonna be a long lockdown.

You did it!

Happy birthday, Mikey!

Love that modular noise, Kattefjaes! I think I'm going to record real drums on that song I did. I'm not a huge fan of sequenced drums anyway, unless the programmer really knows what they're doing (spoiler, I don't), though I do like those big verby sounds that I get from the drum module.

Yeah, I'm going to dial back the crash cymbals and the DFAM a bit when I make the final version. Thanks!

Beep boop.

Happy birthday Marc!

Nah, I cut it off at 42 seconds. The arp was way hotter in the recording than it was in my monitor mix somehow, so as I opened up the filter it got unlistenable in the recording. I'm gonna write words, arrange it, and record the whole thing by end of month.

A snippet of a synthwave song I'm working on. In my mind Robert Smith is singing. Almost everything is coming from the Deluge, except the arpeggio which is the Keystep controlling the Mono Station, going through a Zoom MS70-CDR pedal. VID_54180719_084755_359.mp4
