Perhaps the biggest benefit of all is the most obvious: smaller synths take up less space, meaning that you can fit them into even the most cramped studio.
#Bass microsynth mod portable#
Many of the synths on our list are truly portable – some even running on batteries – meaning you can make music on the go or transport them easily for live performances or collaborating with friends. Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it’s any less powerful, but there are other benefits. In much the same way as smartphones or laptops continually get more compact and powerful, the development of new circuit technology, means you can now fit huge synth power into a tiny format. There’s a certain logic to the idea that you can fit more features into a bigger instrument, but things have changed. As recently as the early 2000s, it was widely accepted in electronic music circles that bigger was better: the larger the synth, the more it could do. What to look for Why choose a small synth?īack in the day, size mattered. In no particular order, here are our favourites… Contents In this category you’ll find everything from simple analogue instruments to complex semi-modular designs, via weirdo digital hybrids and unassuming modules that punch way above their weight. We’ve rounded up ten of our favourite miniature options, from budget Korg analogue through to compact-but-mighty instruments from the likes of Moog and Teenage Engineering. Some might look like toys, but even the smallest box can pack a mighty punch. Small synths don’t necessarily have to be basic. And if I screw anything up I'll drive over to Aen's with a case of beer and beg for his help.We pick ten of the best compact synthesisers on the market, including digital and analogue options from Korg, Moog and more. I know I can work my way around a circuit like this and make sense of it but I always like to ask ahead of time in case there is something ridiculous about it that I'm missing. these are all simple mods, you just need to get your hands dirty.Ī very cool response. the circuit already has these envelopes and stuff, you just need to put that on a pot.

the expression pedal mod involves some kind of voltage controlled oscillator and a slew or envelope.

most of the mods describe either a volume change, simple filtering, or swapping out diodes for other diodes. what does fat mean? does that mean more gain? try changing something to make more gain. take the circuit in smaller pieces and try to put his words into action.

Very cool, Very fun!!!īefore I start digging in a bit more I just wanted to see if anyone had any of these written up to make my life a bit easier. I make the Octave Up louder, Square Wave a bit quieter, and the Sub Octave louder. And I then I tweak the levels of the voices a bit. This is way too much fun to jam with, it should be illegal. The coolest mod by far, is the Expression Pedal control of the Stop Frequency parameter. If your not careful, someone WILL get hurt. Fat Arse, this turn the Sub Octave voice into a TON of molten lard. A MUST WITH THIS PEDAL!!! Then I tweak the Octave Up voice to sounds a bit raunchier, using 1n34a Germanium Diodes. I love it!!! Then I add True Bypass w/LED monitor. The first thing I do is change the guitar Micro Synth into the Bass Micro Synth. I would love to basically add everything that the shotgunmods guy does. I have the big box reissue pedal (in case that matters).
Does anyone have any schematics or a list of the "common" mods that are done to this pedal? I've seen some offering mods at about $200 a pop but I know if I knew what was being done I could do it myself.
