Deepmind 12 Vs Prophet 6: Why the huge price difference?

Published on Nov 8, 2018 Starsky Carr

"A look at why some synths are more expensive than others. The Prophet 6 is 3.5 x the cost of the Behringer Deepmind 12. Is one overpriced, or the other amazing value...?

From a practical perspective what are the differences and is the price difference really justified?

I'm not saying one is overpriced or the other is cheap or poor quality, I'm really trying to take a completely unbiased view of the differences.

If you can't get your hands on ether or both you may have wondered why yourself.... hopefully this can go some way to answering the question.

Patch #17 - Less is more (discovering granular synthesis with Nebulae v2 & uCLOUDS)

Published on Nov 8, 2018 BitCrusher

"Just got my Doepfer 48hp case in and filled it up with the first batch of modules to learn better; Nebulae v2, O_c and uCLOUDS.
The Disting is giving th O_c a pulse with the clockable lfo which is triggering the quad lfo on the Disting. The rest is clear I guess :)"

modular shades #21 berlin#01

"berlin is, since i can think, something very special for me - longing, mysterious, history.
in the first part of my soundtrack for berlin, I want to dedicate myself to the "golden 20s" of the last century.
this brief phase of abundance, the heyday of art and culture. However, with an oppressive feeling, the dark time that comes then.

my first album is now available on bandcamp: https://elinch.bandcamp.com/

Having Fun With Planar Melodies

Published on Nov 8, 2018 Intellijel

"Wonky beats sequenced by Steppy, triggering Plonks and Shapeshifter. Planar2 makes a fun weird pitch control for the DixieII+ fm pair."

I really need two more Forbidden Planets

I really need two more Forbidden Planets from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"I re-organized my live system to integrate the 3 three Tiptop Audio Forbidden Planet filters into it, All 3 are in High Pass mode and are replacing some other filter I had. Why? because Forbidden Plant's High Pass filter sounds absolutely great on anything I put through it. The only problem now is I need two more as I have 5 high pass and 3 low pass filters in the current patch.

In this Video:

BD808

Low Tom 909, SD808, RS808 -> Vermona VcDrive -> Toppobrillo High Pass -> Tiptop Audio Z2040 Low Pass

Hats909, MA808, Ride Cymbal 909, ONE with a HH sample gong through a VCA (for accents) -> Roland Demora

Tiptop ONE (one shot DOTS sample pitch sequenced from Z8000, gates from Trigger Riot) -> Forbidden Planet -> Z2040 -> R*S Serge ResEQ

Tiptop ONE (V-Hause Chord) -> Forbidden Planet -> Z2040

TG ONE (playing Glitchmachines sample) -> Doepfer Wasp filter (High Pass)

MA808 noise source -> Forbidden Planet -> VCA

Modulation sources: 3x Z4000 VC ADSR envelopes, Z3000 oscillator (LFO speed)

Sequenced with Circadian Rhythms, Trigger Riot, Z8000 and Launch Codes.

Send FX: Z-DSP (Halls Of Valhalla - Plate), Z-DSP (Tape Delay)"
