Re: Big Synthesizers and the Modern Apartment
If I had correct legs for it, sure. I don't know what product I would actually put under the CS80 without expecting it to crumple instantly - the CS80 is a heavy @#$!er....

Re: Big Synthesizers and the Modern Apartment
How long of a wall have you got? I did this - (gear p**n removed) 48" - so about slightly larger than a Matrix-12. I *could* do that kind of racking if all my keyboards were lighter, but the Chroma and the CS80 are heavy beasts. Did you really get a CS80 on to a Broder?! :o I had planed to put my l...

Big Synthesizers and the Modern Apartment
The big problem with vintage synthesizers - especially vintage polyphonics - is that they're very large, and bloody heavy. I have the interesting problem of trying to fit all of my stuff along one wall of a utility space that serves as an office in my rather small apartment; until recently, I was us...

Re: Sonic State King Korg review
I'm entertained by the initial demo at 01:00, which (to my ears) sounds very reminiscent of Deadmau5's "Strobe". The filter demo at 09:00 also has an EDM flavor to it, so I suppose they want some of that market. Or maybe this is more a commentary on EDM and Deadmau5. The MG filter sounds quite good,...

Re: Some thoughts on the Arp Odyssey
I had a black and gold Mk II that I bought a few years ago from Analogue Haven - I seem to recall it originally belonged to somebody on these forums. Never really got into the damn thing, to be honest. I'd like a whiteface, just to see if it's a little more my cup of tea, but in general I just found...

I preordered it as well. I think it'll be a good thing.

Re: best 'choir' patches?
Could you write down the 2001 patch? I dont have any midi device.... Uh. I can try, but that might be a *lot* of information. (I don't know what the modulation routings are like.) Entertainingly, most of the magic in the patch is probably due to the 3P+1 filter mode which it uses. In fact, a great ...

Re: best 'choir' patches?
I had to create a Soundcloud for this. :P Anyhow, here's some lousy recordings, complete with occasional clipping. Everything is recorded directly into Reaper, via the RME Babyface. None of these things are intended as musical statements, although I think a few familiar snippets of things may have c...

Re: best 'choir' patches?
The best synthesised analog choir I've ever heard is a factory patch on the Oberheim Xpander/Matrix 12. It sounds so much like a sample but without the transpose and loop point artifacts. That patch alone sealed the deal for me on purchasing the Matrix 12. Demo please ;) I can record one, but I hav...

Re: What synth have you bought more than once?
The Alesis Andromeda. I appreciate it a bit more now than I did back then. I still don't regret swapping the first one for a Minimoog D, though. On the bare edge of synths: the Yamaha YC-45D combo organ. I've bought two, I've sold two due to space issues. I'd like another one. And more space. On the...

Re: best 'choir' patches?
One of the choir patches that comes with the Rhodes Chroma CC+ Upgrade is pretty good, especially with a little bit of reverb. I think it's bank 3, patch 36 or something like that. Then again, everything sounds good with enough reverb. While I don't own one, I've also been listening to demos of the ...

Re: Maestro PS-1 phase shifter
Never tried one for a synth, but they're one of my favourite effects for a Rhodes Piano. Also good on Clavinet and combo organs; might be nice on string synthesizers, that sort of thing. One unique feature that the PS-1 does which other things don't do well is that it has a ramp between speeds - lik...

Re: Should I buy this Wurlitzer?
The Rhodes and the Clavinet are both super-easy to work on; the Wurlitzer is horrible bloody living h**l to tune, adjust, or repair.

Re: Any Advice on an Entry-Level Synth?
... how about something like the Roland JP-8000? They're a bit desireable right now but you can get them pretty cheap still. Lots of fun accessible twisty-things on it.
