yeah, a lot of the demos out now are still like thin and digital.

Believe me the moderators for a lot of these synth groups are looking at moving them somehow. I've been on the VFX group for.. a long time. Possibly since i got my VFX.

sure, you just lose the VA aspect.

at those prices i'd go with the Triton, i dont think the juno stage allows samples. OH and if the Triton doesnt have the MOSS card in it, dont count on ever gettign one they are kinda expensive.

the only expansion boards for the M3 are the memory expansion and the RADIAS expansion, which was a 24-voice VA synth add-on. Everything else is just sampled and presets you load onto it. (I discount the EXB-FW because it isnt supported anymore)

also, regarding the survey: what, no M3?

Heck, Front 242 is using a FA series in their live gigs now...

the S6000 can read Emu CDs but not drives.

if the zip drive has a 4-pin hard drive type power connector, assume it needs all four pins.

yeah, the prophet 12 was likely never upgraded

well, let us know how it goes.

yeah, you might. And yes, the Peak has a greater variety of wavetables whereas the Prophet 12 uses tools to shape the wavetables it has.

I enjoyed the Peak when i reviewed it for VSE, and I liked playing with the Prophet 12 module at NAMM and subsequently at stores. I'm still waffling over both. To throw another wrench into your works, there is also the Novation Summit.....

yow that resistor is crispy

anyway, my actual contribution is: yes, replace the cap. I'd check every cap in it and do mass replacements if you feel up to it.

The Tyros has the same sound engine (and samples, largely) as whatever Motif is available at the same time. Each one has roughly 2x the library size of its predecessor.

take the sysex files
use midiox to send them to the VFX... or jsynthlib or any other synth patch management utility that can read VFX patches.
