Absolutely fascinating thread! I'm all into these kinds of rebuilds, and while I can rebuild a tube amp, I don't know if I could do a tube synth.
The clips and pictures are marvelous! The sound one of these ancient synths puts out must be hypnotic in person.
Keep it coming!

Re: Why the V-Synth is the best thing Roland ever did
As a VA I think the V-Synth is awful. I believe it shares the same V engine as the JP 8000, but IMO it sounds a lot worse. As a machine for manipulating samples, it still shines 10 years later. Yes, Melodyne may be 'more transparent', but Melodyne gives me RSI with all the clicking. I will agree wi...

Re: What's the deal with the Roland JD-800?
get the jd990 instead. we've got a couple jd800s with that horrible glue problem and the keyboards are unusable. add this to the 80017 on the list of flawed roland designs. anyone got any others? The fix for the glue is so easy it's not even funny. It just takes a little time depending on the sever...

Re: Do any analog synths < $1000 have a HPF with Resonance?
Ooooooooh, the Neptune 2 does look rather interesting, doesn't it? =P~ There doesn't seem to be that much info out on the Web about them, though. Any thoughts on the reliability of Spectral Audio's products? There seems to be multiple comments to the effect that the build quality is a little suspec...

Re: NEW REAL OBERHEIM! Don Buchla! Dave Smith! Roger Linn!
Dave looks fit as a fiddle. God bless him.
Nice to hear Tom Oberheim has been bitten by the bug again. Hope he brings something to the market.

Re: Moog Rogue and Concertmate MG-1
You have to be kidding me - "not Moog oscillators". The entire thing was made in the Williamsville Moog factory. How can it not be anything but all Moog - unless you think non-Bob Moog designs aren't Moogs. The MG1 sounds fabulous.

Re: Where can i get Curtis filters from?
i wonder what it would cost to remanufacture some of these. thats something we may not be opposed to investing in... anyone ever think about that? mini If you're the same minime who posts to the AH list then you've no doubt seen this discussed numerous times. Also, I would search the HC KSS archive...

Re:
Not just CEM based stuff, ALL parts are becoming hard to source. I was talking to my synth tech this week, he is VERY well respected, and he was saying how he had to repair a Jupiter 8 that beed 2 new EG's and these were almost impossible to find. Vibtage gear is great, it certainly has something a...

New.
Now that I'm done with it, I don't know what to think. I'm not sure if the genre is totally my thing. I was hearkening back to late late '80s early early '90s goth/industrial stuff and decided to give it a go myself.

If the vocals are too annoying, I'll deploy a version sans vocals.

I rarely program in controller data or patch changes. Usually if a sound evolves it's due to some effects, live parameter/controller manipulation during performance (and I mean parameter knobs plus controllers like AT, mod wheels, etc), or it's just the way the patch is programmed. But the real thin...
