@dtauvdiodr totally. I've got some pretty massive pedal power supplies that do well, so it can be done!
@alisynthesis For sure! And I hope it comes with the power cables and I hope they're long enough. If everything has to be within 2 feet of the device that will not work for me.
@dtauvdiodr yeah, makes sense. I think I would really only use it for live performance. I have power pretty sorted in my studio, so that's where it would be amazing for me. So it would be fine to just have short cables.
@alisynthesis woah. i have daydreamed about a far less sophisticated version of this
@ahihi same. It's fracking brilliant.
@alisynthesis that estimated price will be tough to justify though, unless like 10 of my existing power supplies suddenly break
@ahihi yeah, it is not cheap. It would be pretty awesome for a dedicated live setup though. Like if you had one of those cool DJ style coffin cases and this was mounted permanently inside there, you could have all kinds of different setups that would just be ready to go.
If I ever decide to play live enough to justify one of those cases, I will probably also be able to justify this badass power supply. 🤣
I've been doing a show like every two months, which is probably not quite enough.
@alisynthesis oh my, I already have to much gear I don't need (as in "do not have time, spoons and skills") 🤣
@dec_hl if I'm going to buy stuff I don't need, it's probably going to make sounds lol. For me, this would be a really practical thing, and it also happens to be pretty gorgeous
@alisynthesis
I've recently fallen into the rabbit hole of buying stuff I don't need that makes pictures. Some put the pictures on silver halides. Others store them in magical silicon. Can recommend that rabbit hole, too.
But yeah, a universal power supply for all my silly bleepbloopboxes sounds... awesome
@dec_hl
@ozzelot @alisynthesis back in the days, when I was still using my DSLR I bought a 1k2 CHF lens. So I know about that rabbit hole 🤣
I have way to many interests/hobbies for way to less free time (and energy)...
@alisynthesis I have four Behringers, three Hurdy Gurdy, an effect pedal for one of them, two FM1, a microphone and a mixer. And I barely know how to use the HGs. I never found the time and energy to wrap my head around the Behringers and I need to restrain myself 😂
I love synth, but I would love even more to understand them and be able to use them 😥
@dec_hl One thought I have for you (because this topic is near and dear to my heart) - have you tried just exploring the instruments sonically and not worrying about the end result of what you're making?
Sometimes it's so hard and frustrating to have something in mind you can't achieve for technical reasons! If that's the case for you, maybe you can just consider it sound art and enjoy that.
(And sorry for the unsolicited advice, I normally try to stay away from that!)
@alisynthesis I bought the synth only to explore sounds and sound creation. But I totally underestimated the amount of research I will need to be able to do deliberately explore in a given direction.
The FM1 are more helpful (depending on the firmware), but now I'm stunlocked which firmware to try first/more in depth 🤣
I already had quite some fun exploring the possibilities of the Behringer JT-4000M Micro
@dec_hl ah, that makes sense! Synths can definitely be overwhelming.
I got an fm-1 too but also haven't decided which custom firmware to try first. I did sit with headphones and the original firmware for an hour or so and it was pretty fun. But excited to play around with some other concepts at some point!
@alisynthesis as of now there are 180 different firmware listed. I can totally recommend "FRASIL" for a drone and "OberWave" for a retro synth to play around.
@dec_hl oh fun! I'll try those 2!
I saw someone tried to build a Soma Lyra-style drone synth, which is probably pretty fun. I've always kind of wanted one of those.
@alisynthesis oh my, look at all the knobs! 🥰 🤤
@alisynthesis I like how this looks so much! I hope it's good build quality, I bet that thing puts out some heat.
