Sick guitar collection

Curious… If a single synthesizer can generate and manipulate a vast range of audio signals, why would you need more than one? Of the sounds that option A can produce vs option B, what percentage of those available sounds overlap?

Thanks!! 🤙

No one *needs* multiple synths, just as much as you don’t *need* multiple guitars, or anything else. You can do a ton these days just with software synths too, all in the computer. I just prefer having the tactile knobs and sliders. The 3 synths I have here are very different. - The Moog is fully analog, and duophonic (often played in monophonic mode). No onboard effects. It’s great for classic bass and lead sounds, and for sequenced arpeggios. - The Super 6 has digital oscillators but analog filters and signal path. It can also do some wave table stuff, and has and a ton of modulation possibilities. It can mimic the Moog sound to some extent, but it’s not as phat sounding. And it does a lot that the Moog could never do. I love it for pads and electric piano sounds. - The C15 is fully digital and it’s really in its own category. The closest thing to its sound engine is digital modeling, like how they model acoustic pianos or orchestral instruments. So it can sound like real acoustic instruments, but can also make crazy cinematic sound effects, and pretty much anything if you know how to program it. I’m honestly still trying to wrap my it.

Very cool. Fyi i’m getting invalid lightning address when i try to zap you. Might need to remove the “lightning:” part?

Hey man, I need to set up a new wallet. I wish Phoenix would add Nostr support. Most recently I had Zeus hooked up for zaps but my channels got force closed. I just want something easy without managing channels. Any suggestions?

Dang. I mean i have alby hub and it’s pretty nice. It is just your own node and channels still, but they provide a lightning address which is great

Do they automatically handle rebalancing channels, watchtowers, etc? The other problem I was having with Zeus “node on the phone” was it was very slow to boot up, and slow to find the channel route (1+ minute per zap). I used Alby a year or so back, but it’s been a while

The way i use it is literally just an interface on my local network or via tor kinda like normal zeus (not node in the phone zeus) but with a LN address. Might be a paid tier or something that does more. I haven’t looked into that at all

Oh and works for zaps of course. Also there is a nifty secondary app i use called Alby Go™ that is a quick and easy lightning wallet for using out in the wild if you ever find the chance Overall i enjoy Alby Hub, it’s gud. Sometimes i need to restart my router to connect to it but i think that’s most likely my node hardware’s fault

classy!
