Hm. I might have to get one of those for mine. Do you remember where and how much?

What's the tiny black box the yellow cable is going into?
Also, do you add anything to the monotron?
Also also, sweet setup.

Re: Need help deciding between Korg Kaoss Pad 3 and Korg Mini KP (23 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
A friend let me borrow his kp3 for a while and I honestly got tired of it and went back to my mini kp. It didn't make enough of a difference to me. If I had to choose I'd still choose the mini.
But I'm weird and love tiny things with batteries which appear reminiscent of gameboys.

even with their bigger size than the originals, the newer ones are still much more portable than any other keyboard synth
But factor in their playability as a synthesizer and it's not worth it. Kaoss Pad as a synth is laughable imo. The best portable synth you could get is the microkorg.
That's not to say any of the kps aren't okay to use as a synth like the Kaossilator, just nowhere near as functional as a keyboard synth. That being said, I own a Kaossilator and a microkorg.
But I digress from OT.

What do you plan to do live? And what kind of future setup are you hoping for?
I.e. synced drum machine, keyboard, dj effects.
As we were talking about in the other thread, I choose the mini kp because of it's portability, simplicity for live effects, and as an afterthought because I plan on doing other stuff live like synths.
So I guess what I mean is: do you plan to dedicate live performances to playing it and lsdj live?
Also what price do you see the kp3 for on eBay? Just curious.

'haps you are right about the whole thing. You have way more experience with it than I do.
Hahaha I don't really think I do.

As an artist I really dont want the only reason to be in a room is that someone thought my electronics was neat.
Of course no one wants that. But to have listeners who both like your music and value the process is what everyone'd want.
But I'd still be happy talking to someone about the electronics.

Well then I guess I know A LOT of nerds. Everyone I know who experiences chipmusic for the first time, likes it more when they find out which hardware it was actually made on and that it's not faux-bit. If it's fake-bit they get disappointed. To them it's more exciting to know that someone programmed a machine that they used to play Pokemon on. It's not a bad thing. And I think people wonder what music is made on a lot more then you think. Especially Electronica like this.

I don't think anyone told him not to do it.
But I agree, a little write up on posts will help to keep people interested. Even something simple like "this awesome chipcore release by stern will keep you dancing" or something. I dunno.

* remember, nobody gives a damn what you wrote it on if they like it. (and don't go on about what hardware you use, using X to make Y stopped being a novelty years ago and stops the music being the focus)
This couldn't be more wrong.
I still play for people all the time who find the Chiptune creation process to be 'novel' (or novelty). I still find joy in telling other people about my music process and WHY I do it. I guess I don't have a problem with it because I'm not afraid of my music standing on its own, explaining the process only enhances it, if the person cares to know.
This. All of this.

Re: Post your gig/home setup! (1,620 replies, posted in General Discussion)
That's very true, I want the quad as well but I know I'll never spend that much. But it really depends on your style. If I had two, I'd use one for effects like decimator, reverb, distortion, etc. and the other for things like the lpf looper. But that's because I plan on mostly be on keyboards live with using the looped effects as fills. Probably attach it to my keytar eventually.
I don't really have time to play lsdj live.
