hi folks , which would you take to replace a bunch of analog gear live ( andromeda, jup 6 , m5n, ) ? i know theres no replacing that lot really but if you really couldn't take it on tour what would you go for?

cheers

ok you should be ok with your mac book i use my black one sometimes and its fine , you just have to look after it and keep it lean, as long as its an intel that is. i use a motu no problem , sound isn't the best but rock solid live. i have terrible latency issues with machine on all my macs on and o...

id go for abelton, i have a machine and don't think it would do what i want for a live set. it would be ok to supplement a dj set up , but i guess it depend on your music. abelton with a controller would bring some fun into it and be the most versatile . i use it with 2 lemurs so i don't have to loo...

reading all of that , i'd consider alchemy , its a great additive synth and more . i have a k5000, razor, and alchemy for me for programability and sound id go for alchemy every time , love the k5000 but with out a software programer it's pretty poor to program.

ha! i did something similar around the same time . got talked into a poly800 instead of the sequential 6 tracks...

i know how you feel , i passed up an oberhiem 4 voice for 1,400 pounds , doh!

Jupiter 8 - I give CS-80 the edge in overall sonic power, but the JP-8 is going to be much more reliable. And also has an untouchable gorgeous tone not understood until played in person. Easily worth over $5K in great shape I'd argue. They're getting rare and are one of the only vintage 'big polys'...

tough one... andromeda or matrix12/xpander - 2 of my favourite sounding and most versatile polys arp2600( gray ) or ems vcs3 or a macbeth m5n - modular fun in one box voyager xl - for a really smooth sound and patch memory , not to be over looked in a mono analog( especial live ) for me any that wou...

not that i can hear, some times i think it phases it's so in tune , which isn't exactly ideal. but only sometimes...

vel to filter or volume is priceless on it though.

great thanks for that info guys , very interesting, i guess back in the day the same fairlight and samples could have possibly done the rounds too.
i may well buy that cd!

lets see if this works...

whoops sorry im new to this posting clips , thought i'd done it but alas just names. i'll go and try and work out how to do it properly!

ok got some clips,regards the examples i gave they are all definitely procesed diferently but do possibley share the same starting 'sample' it's the kick that is most odvious. one clip has a few snares in the fill but i would asume they all come from the same source as it was recorded in 86.

also the sounds on ticket b.a.d.
