Re: Roger Powell's "Texture" and "Prism" sequencers...
Sorry, no links, and I'm still looking for Prism. I know I have it somewhere ....... I've found an old version of Prism and a friend sent over a demo version. But both of them are from the 5.25" version, I need the version which has the full install for the Yamaha C1 Music Computer. I can run it, b...

Re: Just wanted to say hi!
Oh yes! Currently finishing setting up a studio after a long hiatus. Got my old synths from storage and have a nice recording console and some huge JBL monitors + sub. Just got my old Matrix 6R today and am playing it and making some sounds. It's really good, always loved it. It's good to hear from ...

Just wanted to say hi!
Remember the haydays of VSE?! Those were the days, I was so sad when all the old posts/threads got purged in the blackout of ~2009 (?). Ah, wow I loved it so much and still use the Synth Finder :) Back in the day I found so much obscure stuff through the front page and had so many good times on the ...

Re: Trying to fixed FaderMaster
I was stumped for a few days repairing my JL Cooper Fadermaster. Pay close attention to the one fader that is reversed. I disassembled all of them (had to do it a few times, because the tightness has to be just right when putting them back together). I finally measured each and one of them to double...

Re: Synths and You (the collection of opinions)
1) The synth that made you want to play music: Fender Rhodes (not a synth, but dang that sound) 2) Your first synth: Korg Poly 800 (well first piece of gear: Electribe ER-1 MK-1) 3) The synth that has surprised you most: Kurzweil K2000R / Elektron Monomachine 4) The synth that has disappointed you ...

Re: Beatitude - Ric Ocasek
Hello guys & gals, long time no see! All is good. I just wanted to revive this old thread as I'm wondering what kind of a sequencer Ric Ocasek was using while producing Suicide's A Way of Life album, I found in some book that there was a splash of Mellotron and an E-MU Emulator (with guitar samples ...

Re: The great thread of electronic/synthesizer soundtracks
THIS is one of my all-time favorites, captures that rock+raw hard 80s attitude with a perfect mix of synths and tension :) All the songs might seem strange at first glance, that's mainly because they're arranged to scenes from the film... (so not your regular arrangements here) https://www.youtube.c...

Re: Polysix ensemble effect
you could hunt down the Ensemble board from a Polysix and mod it into a stand-alone unit? Please do not sacrifice a working or repairable Polysix for the FX board! If you really want that, keep the synth: There's a P6 mod to add an input to the FX. Of course not! :o That's pure blasphemy haha I was...

Re: Polysix ensemble effect
Maybe some 90s Korg Digital Effect (rack unit probably) will have a "Ensemble" emulation? I'd say that's the closest (made by Korg) OR you could hunt down the Ensemble board from a Polysix and mod it into a stand-alone unit? I dunno... Ps. Korg effects from a similar period maybe? Like the Korg stom...

Re: EX-8000 parts
I've got a CR-8000 and those switches are unobtainium apparently, so we had to take them apart and actually fix them... So you might have to do that if you can't find replacements, it is possible to fix broken switches

Re: Can you trigger the LinnDrum with Simmons SDS pads?
Yeah, the Linn probably expects level close to a TTL (5V) on its trigger inputs, so direct signal from pickups could be too small. SDS-V had two sets of inputs - one for pads, and another for sequencing. Pad inputs had additdional preamps. Yeah, I guess the input was more for a Trigger (CV/Gate typ...

Re: How do you rate Prince on synths?
The Batman Soundtrack he made is my absolute favorite Prince album, legend has it he made it in two weeks flat. While Danny Elfman was working on the Orchestral Score for months... Hehe He used a LOT of sampling on that album, I'm impressed. It also has some awesome sequenced synths and stuff... I h...
