admitting to being kind of curious about ua’s dumble sim pedal, assuming they don’t already make a vst of the exact same code
seems like it has a bunch of params
combination keyed zither + synth hits both topic titles
a Suzuki Waraku TES-100, strum & percussion pads + MIDI out

bought a green russian muff impulsively (wren and cuff super russian 1/2 off)
also at goodwill i found another “squier champ 15gr,” a fun practice amp i purchased from craigslist or nextdoor or something upthread a few years ago.
this is great because:
- cheap spring reverb is always a deal… if you were to buy a standalone “spring reverb unit” it’s like hundreds of dollars. even danelectro spring kings are $100 or more
- the reverb was waaaaay wetter and drippier than my old one. why? the rca cables to the tank were swapped lol. so i fixed that
- a reason to get obsessed with stereo effects now that I have 2 matching amps. jonesing for that delay and modulation zoom multifx now

this is so fun as long as you don’t have to take your rig anywhere imo, for a while I was using two amps with a vibrato running into only one to get stereo chorus, but I’m way too lazy to gig like that

I will never gig (which makes it even more egregious to take up space in my home)

if you just want the chorus bit, warm do this now

They newer ones are still good in my experience. I have a vintage 120 and a new 40, kind of like your pics. I wish they kept the old toggle for Chorus/Vibrato but that’s minor.

i got a nice midi keyboard recently and i think i’m done with trying to live play software instruments. i always feel/hear the latency, no matter what i do. i can kill every process on my machine, get crazy good numbers on latencymon, and still it just feels off. any latency whatsoever is just… unacceptable? the moment i heard that differentiation between the clack or thud of my physical key depressing and the transient of the note, enjoyment is ruined, timing is impossible, and it’s all just sludgy dogshit
i guess other people don’t seem to have this problem. they say that once you use 128 samples or less with a good ASIO driver that you won’t be able to perceive latency. am i more sensitive than these people or what?
i wanted to get a nice setup going so i can pull in software sounds when playing live, but i think this is ultimately just… not the way for me. it’s a real shame. maybe i’m still missing something, idk. bothersome

if you want a blazingly fast interface i will always recc RME
fwiw all the dedicated digital instrument gear we put out runs at 128 and we’ve yet to encounter gripes of significance; i’m not sure there’s an industry standard in practice
their set is so good!

128 samples is totally noticeable and way too slow IMO. The people you are talking to have adjusted to it or learned to play with it or something. I am usually not happy until I get to 32 samples at 44.1kHz (there are other factors but this is your main one).
Getting a portable computer that can just handle that in the wild is the hard and probably expensive part. I just bought a tiny $150 NUC about the size of a hockey puck with DDR5 for work and while I’m not doing DAW stuff I’ve been impressed with the overall performance. Laptop is just not the right form factor.

new version of pro-q 4 looks as decent as one would expect from fabfilter, probably worth pinching
