Top 5 Synth/Music Production Gifts ≈ 100$ (for yourself? 😉 )

[@LiamKillen]

👋🏼 *Clarification! *👋🏼 The PO- 32 is included in the newer and more expensive Pocket Operator models that I mentioned here. It's the PO-12 and PO-24 that are in the cheaper category. All still in the ≈ 100$ Range 👾

[@MilesKvndra]

Great tips mate, thank you! The Orba is looking really cool 😎

[@LiamKillen]

It’s a cute lil gift for sure!

[@smellymala3103]

Ordered an Orba for myself and one for a friend, thanks for the reminder! Excited to learn a new interface.

[@LiamKillen]

Orba’s so fun! Congrats 👾

@@LiamKillenJc, have you used it to sequence on the OP-1 or Z?

[@LiamKillen]

Not yet!!

[@smellymala3103]

@@LiamKillen I haven’t got it talking with the 1 yet, and my C to C cable is in the mail, BUT I love it with Korg Gadget so of course Taipei > oplab/z > op1 will do what I was wondering, at least in the base. I wish Artiphon or some god like dev will open it up a little more for custom sample loading and some key-combo menus to change presets without the app, but from a consumer standpoint it hits. It’s going to be a perfect segway into synths for my friend who is used to mostly FL. If it was open source it could be a nasty little device! ...I’m gonna have to scoop up that weird guitar thing, I guess. 🤣

[@LiamKillen]

It is a gallic segway!

[@gvoily9002]

Great list! Was thinking of getting my friends some POs to potentially get them interested into music making. And Orba for myself 😎

[@LiamKillen]

It’s surprising what you’re able to do with these though. For realz.

2:16 that keyboard has seen better days omg

[@LiamKillen]

It needs a good cleaning lolol

[@spman2099]

@@LiamKillen My dude, it is beyond cleaning at this point. That thing needs an exorcism.

[@LiamKillen]

I have since gotten a new one lol

[@nicolascoquin7760]

Was so fun to see nanoloop pop in this list haha I've got it on my android phone and you can also have it on GBA and nintendo DS if I remember right. Really fun gadget !

[@LiamKillen]

Still. we’d to explore it!!!

[@verdielg]

Bruh...we literally have the same gear down to the Senheissers lol. I'm know lots of this stuff is or could be mainstream gear but what are the odds. Apart from what I saw here, I also use a Cre8audio modular skiff with an NTFS-1 Korg and a PO33 that no longer works sadly as I left the batteries in a lil too long and it leaked. So i'm actually considering getting another portable synth for my tiny bedroom studio setup. Any recommendations? I'm currently looking at the MicroFreak as well as the Roland JD08 boutique.... Anyway, thought I would drop a line to say how cool it was to come across someone who uses some of the gear I also have and love. Enjoyed immensely! New Subber!

[@LiamKillen]

Oh nice! I'll be picking up a Cre8audio modular rick this week! Can't wait.

[@LiamKillen]

As fro gear...hmm....it really depends on what you're looking for. Both the Microfreak and JD-08 are great options. I have a MicroFreak and that sequencer is 🔥

[@themidireporter3357]

The Orba is all over my feed! This is interesting

[@jdlcmusic]

Korg Monotron Delay is really fun analog synth/delay for $50 USD. I use it mainly as a delay pedal and it has a MS-20 style filter for tone shaping! Quite noisy, but hey character right? lol

[@LiamKillen]

That ones been mentioned a bunch!

[@kiryu11111]

Bro please give us a nanoloop mono video, the little cartridge looks whack with big sound

[@LiamKillen]

Still gotta learn how to use it lol

[@WillisZzz]

@@LiamKillen Do it! Please, I need someone to spoon feed me the instructions or I'll probably just keep putting it off

[@MegaCadr]

What are your thoughts on the Nanoloop vs LSDJ?

[@LiamKillen]

I don’t know enough to give a legit comparison!

[@michaelkurland2409]

Is the orbs worth it though

[@LiamKillen]

I think it is for beginners.

[@michaelkurland2409]

@@LiamKillen I don’t know anything about music production

[@michaelfurimmer6620]

The PO looks amazing:(

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah they’re pretty damn solid.

[@kathleencoveny3860]

Music weirdo .. no way ! Cool thanks for the list .. helpful ! cheers ... peace !

[@LiamKillen]

Peace out ✌🏼

[@WillisZzz]

LOL! I also have to admit I have not recorded my nanoloop much. I'm surprised to see it here, but then again we're both music weirdos, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@LiamKillen]

Indeed we are. I actually still haven't gotten around to using it yet

[@WillisZzz]

@@LiamKillenthis put it back on my front burner

[@g.shevchenko]

I wish I had at least $ 100((((

[@LiamKillen]

Once you’ve got that extra cash and you’re in this very specific situation, you’ll know what to do! lol

[@nerfytheclown]

...don't blow in it! Causes corrosion.

[@LiamKillen]

It works though! lol
