If not i would keep the DX-21. Owned one In the
80'

No it can't. However, it does have a fairly good FX section and a looper that transmits MIDI. BTW, I really like my Reface DX.

Having once owned a DX21 I would suggest if you can get a Reface DX without losing $ on a DX21, ie a trade, than go for it. I loved the DX21 back in the day and was my inspiration to get a Reface DX. The Reface DX is quite similar to a DX21, but has better fidelity and an easier way to program it. H...

I bought one. Back in the 1980s through to 1990s, i owned a bunch of Yamaha DX synthesizes. I had a FB01, TX81Z, DX21, DX100 and access to a DX7. I can say with one reservation, that the Reface DX is a really good FM synth. I am loving easy to program FM w/o noise, the looper and the FX. It fits per...

I bought this for my MacBeth M5 modular. Best thing I ever did for it. Works like a charm. My Future Retro Orb will end up collecting some dust now. Highly recommended. 5/5

http://www.reverbnation.com/phollopwillingpa/song/20750867-new-kid Here's a little improv live to my work station. I'm using the MacBeth M5 for the bass and a Voyager for the leads. An Alesis SR 18 is used for the sequencer and drums. It's a song in progress and the words were made up on the spot. A...

Thanks that very kind, but I have a working one. I took the log out of the 2nd one and put it on the first since the ribbon had a bubble. It works great. It was totally my fault for doing something I normally don't do, that is, move a keyboard with the jack cord trailing on a carpet and then pluggin...

….. Phollop: Crazy to see a prominent member from NS! That's awesome! Have you checked kijiji? There's someone looking for a Prophecy right now on there. When I saw that, I knew I'd have to bite the bullet after over a years' searching and sign up for <a class="vglnk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"...

The knobs do multiple changes and they change the display if you don't tweak them and as soon as you do, they affect the parameter that's on display. If this is what is happening, it's normal. Also, there are some sites, I forget where. that you can download via sys ex, new patches. Maybe have a loo...

I have a Korg Prophecy and I've bought three of them. I love it. However, there are some issues you need to be aware of. Really check the output jack. It's been known to disconnect from the circuit board and the fix is a bit of a chore. Also, check the log wheel. The ribbon especially, for bubbles o...

Dude has probably never owned any of them..it's funny how ppl who never owned or played a synth will say "it sounds like a moog, definately". First of all, people can hear these intruments on youtube and other sites so a comparison without ownership is valid. My M5 doesn't have the same kind of sou...

You have number 31 of 60! Ken made two batches of 30 of the black M5. You have the first of the second batch. I have number 36 or the sixth of the 2nd batch.

I guess in the end I'm too lazy to try and sell and ship it. Part of my concern, is that I've had a good careeer in experimental music and being retired, I'm thinking of downsizing except for my car, which may be getting bigger. My daughter has an interest in electronic music, but not as obsessive a...

That's a beautiful story. It must be something like #2 of 60 or something… Have you written to Ken to ask him about this M5? What does the serial # say?

Thanks for that heartfelt and thoughtful response.

Can you tell me a bit of the history of your M5? I could use a little diversion and also, do you have any sounds from the M5 I can hear?
