I was lucky in high school to have a music technology course wherein a few synths were used as educational resources.
The basics were done on an Electrocomp EML101/100 (or something like that) patching/modular/signal path/etc. Good stuff

Re: New Schmidt Analog Synthesizer
The knobs are pure solid 24k gold. The silk-screening is powdered unicorn horns. The casing is adamantium, and the wood ends are from the Joshua tree.
Best of all though, in the back is an access door where the power supply doubles as a toaster oven for making tuna melts.

Re: Your Rig---but 20 Years Ago
20 years ago was off to college for me.... my setup was small and I was able to set it up in my college dorm: Korg DW800 (still have) Yamaha YS200 (I actually sequenced on this thing, sold) DOD 8-ch mixer (have somewhere?) All on an X-stand. Used to borrow a friend's Tascam 8-track cassette to recor...

Re: equipment that instantly inspires workflow
My OB8 - every time I get on that thing I just want to crank it to 11. It just sounds so juicy and fat, good things always come from twiddling those knobs.

Re: DW-8000 arpeggio transmit?
Page 60 of the manual: http://www.pallium.com/bryan/dw/DW-8000_Manual.pdf gets into the midi/sysex implementation. There is no mention of sending note-ons from the arpeggiator.

Re: Questions on Nord products
I like the NORD stuff, I have a Rack2 and Stage76 ("classic"?, first version)
I do agree the brand is expensive. Have you considered Korg's SV-1 for a controller? They are running a -$500 discount/rebate through the end of December I think.

Re: Local music shops= no synths ever?
= And this could mean that a random consumer Casio keyboard makes a commercially better product than a Korg Oasys. This is the key. I used to work for a large retailer after college, and while they did have a lot of pro synths, and we sold a bunch. We also sold a LOT of home keyboards and clavinova...

Re: do you think MIDI interfaces are going obsolete?
I'm in the camp that still uses (a lot of) pre-USB midi only gear. As long as we're out here, products will be too. We can expect a slowdown in demand, and product choice, but the user base is here and will be for a long time. Now... midi > USB retrofits for the older gear would be a nice product. 8)

Anyone tried this with their OB8?
Just curious, as I've done a bit of reading (and I own an OB8) but hadn't come up with any results. I like the semi-weighted synth action, often accomplished by manufacturer's simply glueing metal pieces on the bottom side of the keys. Has anyone tried, or heard of anyone modding their OB8 (or any o...

Re: a teenage boy's perspective on vintage synthesizers
I give the kid some credit.. considering what he could be listening to, old VH is not too bad at all.
And look, the synths he likes actually have keys, which means he PLAYS them vs. just knob-tweaking beat machines that only do make "r2-d2" noises.
