@@menhirmike Well, DAWs certainly played a role, but, besides older devices, I have devices from the early 2000s, when DAWs were already quite common. I think it's more a matter of workflow and the styles of music being played. TR-style step sequencing, MPCs and Ableton Live have dominated the market. Just to name one thing, the fact that some products do not offer live transposability of sequences (something I could do with my Yamaha QY10 in 1990, or with any analogue sequencer) even with expensive products, says it all.
@GizzyDillespee2 жыл бұрын
Now they can't compete with a DAW, so for the most part they try to make the hardware more focused, and not as deep. For deeper sequencing grooveboxes, you could look at Akai, Gotharman or Synthstrom products, more than Roland, Korg and Yamaha. The latest big 3 workstation sequencers aren't as thorough as the previous generation, either. And the newer Korg and Roland grooveboxes aren't as deep in sequencing as an old MV-8x00 or MC-909 or an RS-7000 or a Command Station. The MPCs and Force are good in that way. Maybe Maschine+, IDK. DAWs took over, and for DAWless, people today seem to want lateral fx, p-locks, probabilities etc more than a DAW-style linear or vertical sequencer (unless it's an arcane tracker, I guess), and to use a dedicated sequencer hub running a synth farm of small modules, instead of an all-in-one. But then, for so many of these focused synth and groove modules, it's like, it syncs fine as long as it's the master, which means "it can't sync at all, sorry, but it's steady under its own clock, which is also sent to the MIDI OUT port". With all-in-ones, you don't have to worry about sync, or latency compensation, or different jitter from different modules, and there's no serial bottleneck at a lone MIDI output socket that subsequently has to get split to 5 different modules on different channels, etc. But the less precise and percussive the music, the less any of that matters. I think most people doing that kind of precision stuff will be all ITB, to preserve their sanity, if nothing else. But not everyone, obv. My instruments are mostly still more precise than me, so it's okay either way.

I owned one for exactly one Saturday afternoon in the early 90s. During the week I had a holiday job, found this Friday evening in the second hand part of an electronics store. Biked 7km into town on Saturday afternoon, biked back home, connected it up. Holy noise, have to get rid of it! Biked back into town, returned it and got my first proper Sony Walkman instead. I got my next synth *years* later 😂

Thumbnail was accurate, the second I saw the unit I said WTF? For some reason it *really* reminds me of an old AdLib/SoundBlaster - it probably has a very similar FM IC. For some reason the pattern at 4:03 really reminds me of Wing Commander. I guess when used in the right context, you prove that almost anything can sound good. Like always, I'm impressed!
@ryanjay62412 жыл бұрын
Actually I just looked it up because I was curious, the PCM 100 uses a YM2423 and the YM2413 was the "lower cost" version of the OPL2 chip - so most likely they *are* very similar/related.

I thought this device looked familiar and thought 'Simon the Magpie's?' Yep!! Another fine video, with all meme magic and 80's gaming goodness. And yes, that bass was a total banger and only from 2 op FM. 😁

The jam before nirvana was epic . I will probably not buy another tape appliance ever . The heartbreak of the tape knot is just too much , unless i buy something that has a four wheel drive transmission for transport And SD card back- up . I do have 85 hours of original music stored on cassettes plus 250 store-bought prerecorded "albums" . Great show as always, and good luck with the aforementioned issue of delicate and diplomatic resolution.

Oh I´ve waited new Bad Gear! favourite show on youtube right away. suggestion: Casio HZ-600 ... was my first sinth back in 2001, it still works... I use like 1 preset (bass) and we all can cry together with its poor so poor lowpass filter.
