New synth toys!

Post by SSquirrel » Wed Dec 31, 2014 8:17 am

So I got a Sweetwater card recently and I ordered a few things. Got myself a Korg Volca Bass and Beats both, as well as the power cords for them, and once they get back in stock, I have a blue Microbrute SE coming in mid-January. Just placed another order to make use of the long term interest free deals and have a Mackie 12FX12 mixer (mostly for patching a bunch of stuff into 1 set of headphones to not infuriate my gf heh), a Moog MF102 Ring Mod, a Moog Expression pedal and extra patch cables. I'd like to add a Volca Keys to the mix later and in a few months may get my Juno 106 fixed up.

Enjoying the Bass and Beats and was playing w/a Microbrute at Guitar Center a few nights ago. I have plenty of guitar pedals I can chain things thru, plus a Moog Freqbox and Minitaur, so I'm looking to setup an interesting chain of stuff for sure. Anyone get anything new and fun and synthy for Christmas/just b/c you wanted it? :)

i haven't had any luck getting the minibrute sequencer to play through the minitaur. i can use the keyboard as a controller for the minitaur, but with the sequencer it just repeats a single note. i'm new to synths, so maybe i'm not wiring it up correctly.

The Volcas don't come with power supplies? Do they run on batteries?

There is also this daisy chain cable with power supply.
