i mean they make robust digital (and sometimes analog) repro's of classic gear. i wouldnt bet on using a vintage space echo live, but at 1/3 the cost and none of the maintenance the RE20 Space echo pedal is there. the nano small stone for keyboards sounds just as good, and without the volume drop wh...

i would say maybe start by analyzing guitar patches on synths that you have? when i tend to use guitar i use nylon guitar patches on my triton bc i dont have a real nylon. i know that probably doesnt help you to try to purely synthesize a guitar. my observation of a guitar strings tone fundamentally...

oh yeah? a farfisa? do tell

yep. i saw a 909 at a guitar center, the first one id seen in the flesh. i asked another more veteran synthesist if hed seen it and he said 'yeah that was the sorriest looking 909 id ever seen! the face plate was melted in...' GC still wanted $2200+ for it. save yourself the trouble and just get a T...

If you can find one (Hint: my FS listing), check out the Accusonics Accuverb -- there's not really alot of information out on the intertubes about it, but I picked one up on a whim a long while ago, having the desire for a spring verb that was unlike the quite interesting Ekdahl Moisturizer (anothe...

ahhh, that old chestnut....

he just did a short anniversary tour... i meant to catch the performance in DC, but i coincidentally ended up getting a TR-8 that day and stayed home to play....

a MKS-30 when i have a JX3P and an 8P?... do the voice chips go bad like a 106? i have one of those thats a PITA also.... ive found a MKS 30 for what i think is reasonable and it includes a MC-16... can the MKS be edited via CC/Sysex/Virtual controller like the 8p?

Why does anyone care about a TR-707 sound set? It's just a bunch of crappy samples. I've thought something like this myself, viz.. "Why wouldn't people that don't want to buy 707s just use samples if they want a 707 sound for whatever they're doing?" P.S. :ugeek: on the other hand, i could think wh...

I really really hope we get some TR-8 sound banks before they abandon it. That'll be good for years and gears if they just add the CR-78 and some other good ones. I think a ton of people would buy the System-1 if it had a handful of plugouts. Judging by the Sonic State video, the 101 was awesome. t...

you need to dig into the MOTU software 'Mixer' application. which will let you use your MOTU as a mixer and tracks in/out without an application. the application LIVE also has its own routings and latency. your probably hearing both the IN monitoring and the tracks in ableton bouncing and feeding ba...

if i want to use the mic input of my computer, what cable would i need? (what cable to use between the bass station II and the mic input i mean) One that has a connector on one end that fits the audio output of the BS2 and a connector on the other end that fits the mic input on your computer. d**k ...

The Poly 800 is one of those synths that you buy because it's so cheap you can't pass it up. funny because i have both, and i bought the poly800 as an instant gratification synth when my juno's first voice chip died. i paid a bit much and will prob sell it for a minor loss when i move. they each ha...

SH201 the layout is pretty well illustrated with arrows across the board. great mod options. easier than my first micron at least....
