This is the bit with the singing that I was trying to isolate from the track and identify: intro_chatter.mp3 I can't figure out anything she says except the last word sounds like "forever" to me. There is a line in Careless Whisper with that word, about 3:00 into the song there's the line, "We coul...

This bit is on the PSB Sony PCM tape that I've heard that I mentioned earlier in this thread. You can plainly hear the "It's Sting, It's Sting" on it! Is that in the actual track? I've tried really hard, including iZotope RX'ing the intro part, and I can't reliably identify this. I can just hear a ...

"Another element in the track is the traffic noise which Steve simply recorded on a Professional Walkman, with Dolby C, out in Gosfield Street where Advision is. Just across the road is Wham's office and there were dozens of young girls milling around when Steve was recording. Steve looks a bit lik...

(Actually, this doesn't seem to be happening on disk 2, the one with two bass parts, and as one of those is (by name) the same sample WESTBASS as on disk 1, I guess the kick is not embedded in this sample, it's just part of the kick part..) Interesting observation. But keep in mind, these were what...

Synthroom: thanks for taking the time to show us your Fairlight WEG stuff, it was illuminating. The instant I heard that Hi-Hat I knew something was going on, then when reading your text, boom.. Dare LM-1 yeh. Also the Emu choir, good info. What I find particulary amazing is these guys have the ski...

Obviously the dry bass replayed from the Fairlight doesn't sound the same as the produced record - it's much drier, and the bass part is less interesting and certainly less processed. I wasn't sure whether this was a regular bass they'd made for the live playback sequences, or the demo Fairlight se...

I have a PSB West End disk for the Fairlight where they resampled the master tracks into the Fairlight. I have some info in the disk here: https://synthroom.com/fairlight-cmi/psb-fairlight-disks/psb-weg-fairlight-data-disk-2/ I've some screen shots of the other disk that goes with the one I mentione...

Follow that link Tekhed66 posted above to the Sweetwater site. They have a metric tonne of stuff there for the K2000. Make sure you download the Pink Floyd "On the Run" patch. It literally sounds like the record and it moves back and forth in textures. I've heard the guy that programmed that patch g...

Ha - it's still less than a year since I posted it!! Glad it's working for you.

Caleb - if you still have your Ver 07 ROM, pop it in the EX and see if it works. If it does, then that could indicate the Ver 12 might work as well.

I saw him in Portland last year as well! I agree - he's worth seeing. And it was so cool to see how proud he was when his daughter Persia came out and sang backup on one of his new songs. I don't think I've seen Gary smile so much in the other 2 concerts of his that I've seen over the last 20 years.

[quote="Walter Ego"]I finally acquired my fourth CZ-101. You know what that means...

Are you going to get the haircut then?

That Synclav keyboard is not going to make any sounds with just the keyboard - I know as I have one as well. It needs a mainframe to go with it (which I don't have).

Hi Caleb - My first sampler was an Akai S-612 with the MD-280 drive - got it in about 1990 or so. The ground strap on mine was frayed a bit like yours, except mine was next to the chassis of the drive. I had lots of bad reads/writes to the drive. I took it in and the service guy grabbed his solderin...

Questions: 1) The synth that made you want to play music: I was 5 or 6 when Switched-On Bach came out and I was fascinated with the music. So I guess it's Bach's Moog Modular. 2) Your first synth: Bought with the paycheck from the first job I got right out of college - a Roland JX-3P. Still have it....
