Beginner Journey
Hii everyone - I am convinced to start my production with Synths - I tried Digitakt 2 which I really liked but (no judge) I am an absolute beginner... What do you suggest to me to start? Maybe an equipment to buy or a workshop or a mentor? Looking forward to your opinions

The first machine I bought after I decided I want to make electronic music without a DAW, was the Elektron Model:Samples. It is a 6 track sample player. The stock files also got a lot of single wave wave forms. With the loop button on, it acts like a synth and you can play and loop it with the sequencer buttons. You can get them for a fair price second hand. Still love this machine. I bought a USB powercable for it, so it can run on a powerbank. Very versatile machine for a little price. :)

Some questions from a newbie!
Hi al! My name is Tim and started with modular synths this month! I have some questions... 1. How do you tune the VCO's with each other? By ear? By tuner? For example; the ERica Synth Bassline has a very sensitive freq knob. A little touch can make it out of tune. By ear it is quite hard to do. It doesn't sound complete in tune, how hard I try and how close I get. 2. How do you go from one 'song' into another? I know that modular live sets don't work with actual songs and the biggest part is improv, but does someone has tips to evolve more naturally? Would like to here from you all!
