Re: PlayDFAM

I still find it a bit odd that Moog don't put MIDI on that range of products. They sell it in a desktop box but it only really plays nicely with a modular rig or with one of the few controller keyboards that have CV output. In the meantime Behringer clones 'em, adds MIDI and USB and sells them for a...

Re: Recommendations for a mini-pc?

You haven't said how you PC died. Given that it was self-built is there anything that can be reused to make a new one? You might get away with replacing the motherboard/CPU/RAM and maybe the boot disk.

Re: Does anyone actually benefit from instrument tags?

Some tags are more useful than others. Things like dark, soft, thick, slow, deep are all sensible examples to me, especially when I consider them along with categories. Slow Strings, Deep Bass, Soft Pluck etc. Other are more on the daft side. Digital, melodic, cool etc. Occasionally I'll fire up Ana...

Re: Trying out a new system to keep GAS in check

It would probably increase my spend. I'd keep using it as an excuse to buy something - "Oh hey, I've accumulate 200 squids of pretend cash. Let's shop!" Yeah I can see how it might not work for everyone. And really I'm not even sure it works for me yet. But I thought I should give this approach a t...

Re: USynth DRIVE updated: Last Month for Free (before June 14)

I already had the free version but I have not used it beyond the initial "play with it" thing. For me it's less interesting than their bass and drum offerings, maybe because a synth can make so many hugely different sounds whereas bass and drum sounds are very samey. But, despite that, I did recentl...

The blue thing is just down to inflationary pressures. The price of blue pixels has increased way more than the average price rise for intangible things.

Re: Reason going "Live"

I'd love a clip launcher in Reason but only for composition and studio recording. Since the R12 debacle I would never trust Reason in a live situation. Reason used to be rock solid but I just don't think they have a sufficiently stable platform any longer.
Other opinions are available.

Re: Is it safe to uninstall R11-Suite?

I'd suggest just keeping it on your machine. It doesn't exactly take up much space. Nah, I don't keep software installed that I don't use anymore. I also had several other DAWs installed, but those are getting removed one by one as well. I only keep the previous major version of Reason installed to...
