Think I might have just bought two modules that sound the same
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have been looking at roland modules for rackmounting. I had 1u and half a 1u of space and thought i'd fill them with some cheap ps1 sounding general midi units. I listened to both on youtube vids, and thought they sounded different. Then upon reading articles such as <a href="https://www.retrobee.net/blog/midi-module-buying-guide-for-retro-gaming">https://www.retrobee.net/blog/midi-module-buying-guide-for-retro-gaming</a> I think they might actually sound nearly identical and it may be useless to have one of them. I'd probably keep the half width unit since it would free up a whole row. I havent received the half-width one yet but am anticipating it sounding very similar. The purpose of this rack is 90s/2000s themed, for dungeon-synth and alternative variants of synthwave with familiar rompler sounds intended. I dont need FM because I am controlling the rack via a digitakt+digitone combo. I often sample the units rather than use them in real time but after tweaking the sounds and then further on the takt.</p> <p>Also if anyone has any good ideas for something to replace it with, i'd be happy to hear it. My rack is a shallow 5u flight case. Currently has (by row, top to bottom): 1. Roland JV-1010 + Roland XV-2020 2. E-mu Proteus 1 3. Korg 05R/W + Roland SC-88VL 4. Alesis S4 5. Roland M-GS64</p> <p>Edit: Should really clarify, the two modules im talking about that will sound the same are Roland SC-88VL and Roland M-GS64</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/WeekRuined"> /u/WeekRuined </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/vdh461/think_i_might_have_just_bought_two_modules_that/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/vdh461/think_i_might_have_just_bought_two_modules_that/">[comments]</a></span>
