Who /synth/?
>>65300240
nice one, I only use the ableton panels
whats your favorite beethoven sonata and why?
wladstain sonata here.
Hey guys, beginner to intermediate here - hoping to get some feedback on this little improv I did. Hoping to get into composition at UH for spring of next year. Wasn't originally interested in Piano and really only started playing seriously less than a year ago. I had to pick an instrument and I'm having to stick to piano now, which desu I love and appreciate a lot more after playing and de-constructing pieces.

>>65300240
want a real synth bad, this might be a silly question but can you get a synth for less than $100?
>>65300407
if you want to compose you better stop improvising. can't give you feedback bc at work
>>65300421
I guess not, unless you're lucky, at least not an analogue one
>>65300421
>>65300426
I already write and have written pieces, thanks for the comment but I'm looking for feedback on my playing skills.
>>65300446
upload score than I can rate it
tfw you got a $6 vintage keyboard at goodwill. it sounds awesome, its still pcm, but it sounds awesome with all the old instruments from 80s/early 90s. lots of digital waveforms thrown through tremolo to get that spazzy retro sound. anyone else got any good finds?
>>65300421
You could possibly score lucky second-hand but I don't think you'll find anything new.
Your best bet for your budget is probably to get a midi keyboard and use softsynths instead.
>>65300503
i already have one, i love the sound pads it comes with. so much easier to create good sounds than with just a regular piano. although i do love my elec. piano voice.
>>65300458
Know anywhere good to upload it? I can share some of the miniatures I've got
>>65300563
dropbox maybe? i don't know desu
>>65300563
you could also just post a pic of the score here
this thread is a good idea and should be posted more often. It should get more attention though
>>65300667
You'd think it would be more popular considering how popular an instrument like piano is. But it is harder to sustain conversation gear spamming unlike discussions on guitars.
>>65300717
seems piano is too sophisticated for this kpop-infested board
How long would you say will it take me to get back into playing after playing for 3 years as a little kid then stopping playing for >10 years? I only remember the major scales, and basically nothing else
>>65301192
Hard to say, but at least you should learn faster this time around than last time :)
>>65301582
thanks. I'm kind of hyped, even though I've always been terrible at music
>>65300426
That's idiotic. All the greatest composers were accomplished improvisers. Practicing improvising is an invaluable tool for composers. Just like practicing composing is an invaluable tool for improvisers.
Why are we on last page already?
I got a Casio PX350 for $600 last week on Amazon.
Did I do alright?
>>65300407
You have some some nice colors but your chords sound kind of blurty. Work on a tapered release (depending on the musical context)
Repeated left hand patterns could be smoother.
