Hello,
Once upon a time, I was a musician. I took my classical guitar degree 10 years ago. I studied a little of music composition and experimented with computer music. But today, I don’t do music anymore. Every time I try to do music, I spend the time looking for synthesizers, creating setups, and so on, and it ends I never play. So, I’m looking for some device that gives me an out-of-the-box experience with synths, effects, and loops. I would especially like to:
- loop audio input
- play with external or integrated keyboard
- apply effects
- use synth and samples
- programming the sounds and synths
Thanks!
I’ve been looking at some grooveboxes. As a linux user, the MPC one and MPC key 37 stand out positively because you can add your own samples and export tracks with just an SD-card, as opposed to e.g. the Elektron Digitakt that requires a software for any file transfers. There’s a community-made linux alternative for the Digitakt’s software, but that’s still vastly more brittle than an SD-card. Who even knows if the official Windows or Mac version of that software will still work in 10 years?
