Behold, Operator Synthdrum

[stutter]

The bug fixes hadn't made me upgrade to 8.0.4 yet, but this will. Full of anticipation now.

[pedx1ng]

Yeah, it defintely takes a while to load because, well, 80 Operators! Without some pretty big computing power you definitely are looking at some kind of bouncing or freezing once a few additional tracks start coming in.

EIGHTY!!! Well I guess that 'splains it. lol Yeah I guess you mentioned that in your first post but for some reason it didn't click for me that it meant there were actually 80 separate instances inside there. hehe

I did a track with this, only slightly modifying some of the beats in the set provided with the rack and adding zany and madcap instrumentation:

At the beginning of that, how much is the synthdrum, and how much is other stuff layered over? That is some most excellent twistedness.

While on the one hand I keep being a little blown away about how much flexibility I'm getting out of some of these modules, there's also part of me that's wanting to keep building some more modules, just because I was having so much fun messing with all those Operators.

Like maybe a few that are more latin/african types of percussion instruments, but destroyable, of course.

thanks! and thanks especially for the mention of the Utenziltmbrand and thanks even more for giving me an excuse to bump this thread up out of the accumulating pile of corpses

[edit] and, really, the best thing about that track is the drums.

Do you have any more graphic photos/description of your crazy midi guitar thing? That's a pretty boss machine there.

[porfiry]

shameless bump

[ze2be]

[szabolcs2]

oh, thanks. That is the "MIDI-Guitron" and it is legend on the internets
It has been both lauded as "waaaay cool" and reviled as a "waste of resources" to better enable "strutting" as well ss ideal for 'scaring away the vag'

The actual electronic parts that make it work were obtained from these wonderful people:

A descriptive yet spectacularly poor quality youtube video whose sound is too loud when it finally comes in is can be found here:

An attempt-at-humorous reply to my detractors on the internets is found here:

where my favorite comment there is "...you look like an older version of star wars kid"

Here is an annotated photo of it:
