Picture of a few guitar pedals that I’ve hooked up to a synth. There is a combination delay/reverb pedal known as the Slarp and the Voyager overdrive pedal

Pulled out my trusty Slarp pedal by walrus audio.
Threw it it on my Yamaha DX along with the Voyager overdrive.

Sounds so good

They needed an extra little sound for the game pausing so I just made a simple square wave and a quick few ascending notes on the keyboard and it sounded perfect

I was finally able to use my 2600 for something 'professional'.

I'm doing the sound design for a short film and the composer did all the music and SFX for an 8bit old school video game.

thinking of upgrading to Arturia's V Collection 11.
I've got the Collection 9 and there's some cool things I'm interested in 11.
Like Pure LoFi & MiniFreak.

Arturia's software is so freaking good - I need to use it more than i do

This morning’s beautiful tangle of cables

took another pic of me in my happy place

I'm right there with you!

haha, just call it ambient! 😂

hmmm, if I turn the feedback all the way down on the delay lines it would be like 2 synths playing contrapuntally...

Gotta play with this some more!

exactly! The 2 delays on this are fed by the same input which would be tricky with multiple delay pedals. You wouldn't want one delay feeding the other.

a bit. Kind of more blurry and busy sounding than BoC i think. Their synth lines are usually quite independent.

I should listen to them again actually🤔

I'm finding some interesting things with the 2 independent delay lines. Setting them at different times and then putting the mix on full wet gives some lovely fugue like textures

Been exploring this pedal lately. I inherited it from my brother in law who passed away a few years ago and haven’t spent much time with it yet.

It’s got some great creative options in there

This song has been a long time coming, and it fought me all along the way. I want to give a huge shout out to @shhbangs.bsky.social for helping bring it home with her amazing guitar work #NewMusic #Indietronica #IndiePop #ArtPop #RetroWave #NostalgiaPop #MusicSky

Table full of synthesizers and music gear

My little synth corner is really coming together now. I got the laptop stand to lift the DX and put the Pedal Power below it, while still having some space for a couple pedals.
Mixer and MidiHub tucked over to the side to give lots of elbow room in front.

It’s feeling good

I’m thinking about getting a Korg Opsix to replace my beloved Reface DX(with the hardware programmer by Dtronics)
🤔

you may have seen this on my personal account, but i thought I'd post it here as well.

I'm just messing around with some new synths I've picked up over the last little while (Behringer 2600, K2, and Wasp Deluxe)
