First off, I know there’s a Behringer knockoff for 600 and the minute I have another 600 to spare I will probably get it - that’s how much I want/need/covet the sound of this device. Friend of mine has offered a sweet deal on a hardware sequencer that has CVs as well so of course imma need to use that. :>
A CV interface for the zynth would be a fun thing.
Anyways same friend and I are planning to get a little Industrial project together - we seem to specialize, as friends, in one-night projects every few years, tributes usually, that play to packed bars, and it’s a lot of fun, but he’s gotten seriously into Eurorack and it’s a way for us to get back out there, reflective of our own musical progress towards keys and synths.
Once this became a serious thing in my head, I started researching what synths the Industrial bands used a lot of besides the DX7, of which I do own one which will probably come onstage with us, though probably mostly as a prop, because I plan to use my Zynthian, and probably a headless one running on the Pi5 I own, for as many of my tracks as I can, and I’m pretty sure (slaps top of zynthian, used car salesman-style) you can cram SO MANY Dexeds into this baby!
But one sound that I am absolutely gonna need is that 2600, cause it’s central to the beats which once filled my head with Gibsonian visions of the matrix as I lived through this meat life from bands like Ministry and Front 242. I need that sound asap, and I’d rather keep it in the zynth family if I can.
I’ve actually never gotten clear about VSTs on Linux - are these a special Linux build, or is Linux just able to read and use Windows-based VSTs? Cause I’ll also always have my laptop along.
