• Enlightenmentware

  I have a couple of these to add as well: VCVRack - simply one of the most mind-expanding things a synthesizer-nerd can play with. (https://vcvrack.com/) ZynthianOS - another example of a simple software solution to a problem nobody realized existed, opening the door to an absolutely astonishing array of Audio processing tools (https://zynthian.org/). - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment

  > It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year. http://cardinal.kx.studio https://vcvrack.com/ The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter. Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?

  A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one: https://vcvrack.com/ However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• I love synthesizers, but I suck at synthesis and sound design?

  What really opened my eyes was the Nord Micromodular; it taught me what I just described. It showed me how limited other synths were - but that limitation was a trade-off because it's much faster to make something on a fixed-structure synth than on a modular, in most cases. Nowadays, you can use https://vcvrack.com/ instead of a small limited box that needs Windows 98 to run the editor on. Source: 12 months ago

• Long time Cubase user who is leaving a more traditional electronic workflow to modular hardware... Bitwig seems to be the DAW more for this style possibly? Any opinions first hand?

  Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.

• Visualise e-drum voices on a grid whilst/after playing

  Melodics is probably what you're after, it's not cheap though. Source: 7 months ago

• How do I learn to play the drums… without having drums?

  Get a foundation going with https://melodics.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• I don’t have the means to attend music school. But would really love to do my best on my own.

  I’d highly recommend checking out Melodics - it’s like guitar hero but it actually teaches you music fundamentals. Source: over 1 year ago

• Beginner Setup

  I can’t speak to how good it is for keyboards, but I enjoy https://melodics.com/ for electronic drums. I’ve been using it almost daily for two years and have made a lot of progress. Source: over 1 year ago

• boredom is killing me

  I have been using Melodics for actual learning. I would say Melodics is great for learning timing and getting instant feedback. I have also been using Drumeo for other lesson type stuff. I like Drumeo for learning and understanding rudiments and whatnot. Source: over 1 year ago
