Oberheim OB-8, midi and sequencer. Nuff said.........

Okay so like a dumbass I didn't try turning the Robot Pitch to off so I can change pitch now. However I still can't get the ess setting to work.

So maybe i'm doing something wrong, but I can't seem to control my pitch via the source input(god I hope I didn't buy some busted ebay c**p). I have my Prophet running into the Source Input, Mic into the front Formant input, and running out of the effect output of course. I have mic selected because...

I think the Moog Pedals are a very specific sound that are definitely worth the money considering the sound quality and craftsmanship, but I don't think they are as "useable" as you would hope. They sound crazy, but it's just not something you would use at great lengths. I think Electro Harmonix hav...

Electro Harmonix Small Stone(great analog phaser) and the 2880 looper looks like it will be my new favorite when I get it. Looks like the best midi synced looper in its price range. Boss RC-50 can't touch it. Moog Murf is pretty cool too.

Get a Korg ESX-1. Sample whatever sounds you want and it has TUBES!!!!!! Warmth for days my friend and a pretty decent effects section.

Just got an mk1 off ebay for about $170.00 and can't wait to mess around with that thing.

So what's the difference in the two? Any?

Oh, just noticed I was referring to the microsynth and not the minisynth. Do they have the same problems?

And then there was the horribly unreliable Electro-Harmonix Mini Synth that belonged to the guitarist in a band I was in. The touch keyboard was a nightmare; depending on the room temperature, what it was sitting on, the phase of the moon and a bunch of other stuff, some notes wouldn't play and oth...

Well I saw an new mk2 from this place for $200, but I saw a used mk1 for around $300 on ebay

Just wondering if anyone knew the difference between the two models? I've noticed the MK1 is going for almost twice what the MK2 is. Is there something that's better about the 1st generation? Getting one of the two in the next couple days so I was looking for some advice on the subject.

Nice work for sure. Love my ESX, although it's currently in the shop with output problems. Waiting to hear back what the diagnosis is. When it's working though, it's certainly one of the best samplers in the price range and very different from an MPC. I replaced the ESX tubes by JJ ECC803S, for bett...
