It’s like hiking up a mountain with uncomfortable shoes. The sound is so rich and deep I forget how annoying it was to program it. DSI Prophet 6īut I am going to keep it around because it sounds ridiculously nice. Regardless, it doesn’t seem to be made for my workflow. It seems like it’s made for people working in studios who want to lay down tracks, or sample its lush sounds to use in a DAW. So, when I use it I love the sounds I get, but I always find myself frustrated by something. It sounds great and it’s super flexible, but it has a lot of little design choices that drive me nuts. I’ve bought a lot of gear that I regretted, but this one the only one I’m keeping. Is there anything you regret selling… or regret buying? DSI Prophet 6 Really I just like playing instruments and don’t want to try and play a computer like an instrument. It defines a musical approach as being the absence of something, in a way. But I really don’t like that nomenclature. This is typically just called a DAWless setup. I can write and record a song relatively quickly and easily, without worrying about system updates or getting sucked down the black hole that is the internet. Bringing Windows, Mac, or Linux into my setup would violate a lot of what my setup’s built on: spontaneity.

If I used software I know I could automate some of the parameters of my physical instruments. There are ways to do this if I went modular. One thing I wish I could do with my hardware setup is automate parameter controls. When I record or make music it’s almost entirely analog. What software do you wish was hardware and vice versa? If I want to make a minimalist composition these are my go-to pieces of gear, and fortunately they’re small enough for a carry-on. The SE-02 and Volca FM are excellent for sound exploration. Usually I just want to explore a sound or a musical phrase. When I sit down to play I’m not typically trying to write or work on a song. Realistically and historically, though, my preference is to bring either the Volca FM and Mini KP or the Roland SE-02. It definitely caught me off guard with how user friendly and fun it is to use.

Making a full track with just this is surprisingly easy and fun. What setup do you bring on holiday/tour/commute etc.? It would be a lot nice if I could have longer sequences, and I really wish the sequence transpose could latch. That extra level of control would be much more welcome than panel controls for portamento. The second is I really wish I had full ADSRs. It’s exponential and it makes playing the knobs an extremely delicate procedure. The first thing I’d change is the knob taper. There’s magic in the way the envelopes and filter interact with the delay. When that filter sweeps just right it feels like the dawn, it feels like the slow and sudden heat as the sun rises in the morning. Not machine cold, but unfeeling in the same that the universe is. The filter has grit, filth, and somehow feels cold. The filter has a character that doesn’t make me think “Moog” for some reason. The delay’s grainy in all the right ways.

The SE-02’s very much in the same vein, and it seems to be able to scratch every sonic itch I have. Ever since then, no synth has been as fun to play as a solid monosynth. It taught me that the controls are as much a part of the instrument as the keys. It taught me how flexible a simple architecture can be, and how rewarding learning how each piece of a synth works together is.

The first synth I really learned how to use was the SH-09. Do you have an ‘almost’ perfect bit of kit? What would you change? Riding that during a groove is endless fun. My second place choice is the hi-hat decay knob on my 808 clone. When you move it, you can feel the shifting of the gears inside as the mechanisms thunk into place.

The older model has a tiny gear shift for selecting the speed, but the new one just has a knob a knob with a nice feel and weight. Favourite knob/fader/switch on a piece of gear and why? Uher Speed Knob
