Buying the PO-35 “Speak” yesterday and doodling some patterns has made me want to buy the OP-1. Or something else. Perhaps the PO-33 “K.O!” Or both. I am done for, I think. No talent + money + marketing + youtube = new artist wanna-be = me
Sadly, I’ve been doodling on the Animoog (iPad app) forever and not getting anything done. But doodling on the PO-35 has been very interesting and I actually got something going in half an hour, so that’s pretty great. It’s not a track, but I was nodding my head and snapping my fingers and laughing so I think it’s working as intended. 😄
So...
PO-33 K.O! Quick Explain + Jam
And/or... OP-1!? I really should give it a break. Be gone, consumerism!! 🕱
Rack is an open-source virtual modular synthesizer. It looks nicer than Pure Data. In fact, it looks *super fancy!* Sadly, it doesn’t sound very impressive if you fiddle with it for a few minutes. This needs *work*. I had more fun with the simple PO-35. So I guess modular synthesis is not in my immediate future.
I feel like I’ve just rejected the Emacs of music and opted for some sort of notepad++ or so. Less features, easier to get into, but not growing with you over the years?
Anyway, being able to create my own sounds, sampling stuff, laying it out in a sequencer or tracker, I might get into that. And the OP-1 looks like an all-in-one solution. I find that very attractive. I’m not really the hardware tinkerer. The idea of actually patching with actual cables, I don’t know. It doesn’t fascinate me.
