abstractlion's Electronic Studio Setup

The Yamaha Dx7 can create some of the most otherworldly sounds that blur the line between synthesized tones and acoustic-like tones . there is truly nothing like it .

This was my first professional analog synth. I got the MS10 back in 2017 as a gift , and I use it at almost any chance I get because of it's ability to link the lfo selection the the pwm on the patchbay (something the MS20 lacks) , and its tough growling korg 35 filter . It's got the classic korg sound , it can make a wide variety of sounds even with a single oscillator , and it's extremely easy to use . If your looking for a reasonably priced retro monosynth the korg MS10 is the way to go !

I'm serious with the header of the review . Just being able to sample anywhere at anytime itself is cool as hell , but this little thing has granular like sample trimming , real time pitch shifting , and HP/LP cutoff filters . I don't think could ask for anymore . The sound quality isn't for everyone as it's very low fidelity and in mono , personally I love 8/12bit samplers so that was just another plus . It allows up to 256 notes , and lots of samples (although short) , My only real gripe with it is the lock tab (why would anyone need this?? Mabey for a display model?) If the lock tab accidentally breaks off you'll have to solder the 2 contacts together so you can start making patterns and adding samples again which not everyone is able to do. Besides that love it and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it and highly recommend for anyone who's dream machine is a portable lofidelity sampler for there pocket!

last year at first glance when I got mines it came across as a toy instrument ( i didn't watch any demo vids prior to receiving it) . but as soon as I popped some triple A's in it and started hitting the buttons I instantly realized the PO12 is certainly not a toy , its like a TR909 for your pocket! I take it everywhere I go , to the park , restaurants , walking trails . its just great for jotting down super punchy drum lines and jamming out on the go . it syncs up to other gear like the SQ10 so you could have massive live sessions with it.
PS: I am just so impressed with the design of all the pocket operators in general , how in the world did they manage to put all these features in this tiny calculator like thing ??!
