I have plenty of synths sitting around that I use only rarely. I am sick but not disposophobic. In the late 80's I sold everything to start a family. Got out of the music biz' (back then there was a biz) and got back into writing/playing music decades later after having countless dreams (literally) ...

If this... http://www.amazon.com/Exit-Tangerine-Dream/dp/B000002GXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1275342793&sr=8-1 is your goal then the PPG wave is the only synth to choose. There is something 'caustic' and analog about the early digital wavetable scanning synths. Different from wavetable playbac...

"Don't leave your Blofeld beside children, mothers-in-law or pets. This could lead to critical interactions."

PPG 2.v is a great plugin. It is close to a PPG and includes the venerable Upper Wave table. The only other Waldorf (I think) which includes this wavetable is the Blofeld. The ability to wrap the wavetable and get those 80's digital sounds is nice. Attack is very useful although from the original po...

Dunno. My guess is the Win 7 compatibility gives it a chance. Write to the designer and ask.

I just re-read the original question and wanted to add that although the earlier version that I have was freeware (IIRC) there might be a nominal charge for the current version. The other thing is that I'm not 100% sure about whether or not it with work with the Vista OS...possibly but you might wa...

I can't really justify owning really expensive gear. After mixing down 2 albums with the Polar, I just realized I could have made most any of those sounds with the V or something as simple as a lower end Korg without only a negligible amount of extra work. Multi timbral? Total Integration? MIDI? f*...

Here's where to get DX Manager, a DX7 (well, DX200 in my case!) programmer and patch manager that I use: http://www.fm-alive.com I bought a crappy little USB to MIDI cable and was gonna hook up to my PC laptop so I could save and modify the TX816. I was going to use FMAlive's package but never got ...

Amen. Ironically, my gear buying comes from wanting to find that one instrument that does it all. It's quite obvious I may never find that piece of gear, so I am simply going back to my 3 synth rule, as in never owning more than. Interesting philosophy, but I couldn't do that. I buy a synth and wor...

L4940 vreg chip (factory fix) original psu - works fine.

Good news. I remember hearing about this one time but I lost track. I've had enough problems with my early edition P08 that I could be a testimonial in a before/after commercial for the Prophet 08. I love the sequencer but you have to point a gun at me to make me want to tweak the encoders on that b...

Hey, thanks for the in depth look. Only a few more songs with the TI, then it's Blofeld for me. Any insight on how well the sample playback is implemented? Don't know. I have the desktop. I was one of the first to get this machine. I've not really kept up with the newer keyboard models. I want one ...

The Blofeld seems to have addressed those issues very nicely - most of which is the ability to get dirty/angry. cheers, Ian That's what I'd say. The Blofeld gets dirty real good. The effects are not so great and can cause some headaches but the distortion is very gritty and the extended mod matrix ...

M6R is so cheap that it is worth buying if you have a cost factor to consider. It is a great sounding synth but has less capabilities than the P08. You can stack sounds like the P08 so there is plenty of depth to the M6, but (for instance) 4 LFO's verses 2 LFO's on the M6 gives the advantage to the ...

Never owned a Moog but played them. I am familiar with the sound and have been playing synths since the early eighties. IMO you could get a lot more synth buying a modular. No preset program storage, but neither is the Old School. For instance, if you have a keyboard with midi out (or a controller) ...
