I'm a bit of a Casio guitar synth buff - MG500/510 and PG series, DG series. I just read a scant reference to the existence of a model I had not heard of until reading of it here in a book called Electric Guitars: The Illustrated Encyclopedia By Tony Bacon: https://books.google.com.au/books?id=vQlMD...

There's a big synth festival happening in Hobart, Tasmania on the 8th June here, a big event for anyone here on VSE in Tassie (I know there's a few of us )

My Band Atomic Deluxe is playing in it.

Yes, all your replies are as expected and as I suspected. Customsynth does such a good job at replicating original panelwork you would think it was genuine Roland silkscreening, I have seen their white one and it is convincing. It's such a shame the young generation Roland employees aren't given a "...

Interesting - I have always believed the whole white SH101 to be a myth, and if existent, to be a fake. But here on Roland's own website they claimed it was real: https://www.rolandcorp.com.au/blog/roland-icon-series-sh-101-synthesizer I have never seen one that was verified to be genuine. What does...

What about Casio SK1?? Doesn't anybody still use them for sampling in 2019??

Hi everyone, sorry I didn't see this post - I realize its very old, so forgive me. All of the CZ/VZ/FZ series instruments have an anti-thump power-on circuit on the output - it's basically a relay that mutes the audio out when it gets switched on for a second or two, to stop a loud pop or thud destr...

For those of you in Tasmania, we are running a festival down here on Saturday 12th January (this weekend) with a big line-up of local Hobart electronic underground artists. Over 20 bands playing to celebrate the CD Launch of the album "Synthesthesia 7000" - a compilation of brand new songs from loca...

Hah yeah the album is still in the works but got sidetracked by a huge local project in Hobart, Tasmania called SYNTHESTHESIA - a compilation album of Hobart underground Electronic artists. Myself and 2 other people from a local record label Cubbyhouse Records have put together the submissions of 29...

By monitoring he means being able play the minimoog using the keyboard going THROUGH the mmt8 and then to the minimoog. The mmt8 allows this because it has a midi merge facility (MIDI ECHO button) that combines its MIDI input jack with it's MIDI output jack as well as sending it to the MIDI thru por...

Cheers, thanks for that! Nice

Yes, the eye roll was a "why is everything in life such a complicated process" whinge

I'll get over it!

Yes I imagined half as much

Too many projects Yes, I know the feeling :oops: There is a ROM expansion already made for the RZ called the RZ Plus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV4EL5gg9IY http://r-massive.cellarseer.com/casio-rz-1-pcm-sound-rom-hacking Also, have you seen this: http://r-massive.cellarseer.com/casio-rz-1-fir...

Now that you've got that done, you can do a memory expansion mod for the RZ and load it up with samples to the hilt! You should be able to do a 16x sample bank expansion with the SRAM chips that are commonly available - that would give you 64 samples! I've done this mod to a Casio SK-8 as well as ot...
