Ah, Empty Rack Space Syndrome...

What synths do you have already? JV1010, above? One of the several Yamaha FM modules (FR, TX, etc.) or a Yamaha VL70m? Or half-rack ROMplers like a Korg NS5R, if you must. Or a JoeMeek or FMR compressor to smash some audio with?

Yep, the battery would be the first thing I'd check (it's also the cheapest possibility, so you'd want to try that first).

Third search result on Google for me: "The XBase09 SE is an advanced XBase09 with the 4-fold sample ROM in the Hi Hat section. They only differ to the normal XBase09 by a silver SE sticker. On Hi Hats, Claps, Rim and Crash you have the following selection: 909/808/CR78/JMX The OS is the same as on t...

The LM3204 only has the "in" multi-pin connector for the LM3204e, it doesn't have an 'expander out' connector. You might be able to make your own breakout cable if you can find the same kind of connector, a bunch of 1/4" plugs, a wiring 'pinout' diagram of the 'expander' connector, and are handy wit...

I open ableton then the Virus no longer works on the MIDI timing coming from MC909. It seams like at this point because it is also USB connected Ableton takes over Virus. Do I disconnect USB cable from Virus to pc? or Do I disconnect MIDI cable coming from MC909 to Virus and use Virus only on USB? ...

Then you'll know how and why to hook things up in a particular way. If you just get someb...

Or, they're just discontinuing the MC-808 and not coming out with another "Groovebox" product right now.

One of the first, if not the first, was an answering machine message from the neighbor calling in a noise complaint about our band - "this is your back door neighbor, and if you don't stop that, I'm going to call the police." Of course we used it in a song. He really did call the police, too. :shock...

1) Go through the "Parts for vintage synthesizers" sticky-thread at the top of the "Help!" forum, and visit the websites, call, or email the sources you see listed there - many of them are worth at least trying, and many of them have parts in stock that aren't listed on their websites 2) post a "wan...

So somebody is still doing "powernoise", then.

External wall-wart power supply on that one, isn't it?

Sounds power-supply related to me - just a hunch.

The MCV4 works great "out of the box" with the SH-09.

However, if you want to use portamento, get the Kenton. The MCV4 can haz pitchbend, but no can haz portamento - regardless of any "portamento" setting on the SH-09 (its "portamento" is only applicable when using its own keyboard).

Definitely the price. Definitely.

"why did you need that one, it looks like the others" Me: "But honey, this one's totally different than the others. They may all look like dark grey boxes with sliders, but this one's DCO based, this one's VCOs, this one's divide-down, this one has osc sync and this one doesn't, and..." My Wife: "O...

No, not with the programmer.
