THats the FM part of RetroSynth, so any four OP DX synth will get you similar sounds, albeit without the analog filter part...

Yep and/or there's the free DEXED plugin which is also very good.

I'd like to download them into Logic Pro X and play the sounds through that with a midi keyboard as I can then sell the actual keyboards. So you want to sample your synths into Logic? I know I could sample each individual sound into Logic but that would be very time consuming so I'd rather not. Wel...

BBC Micro is an 8-bit computer, I doubt musicians used those for tracking music. You had to program the music in assembly code, if able at all. Vince Clarke *loved* the UMI sequencers running on the BBC B for years (as stated above, well past it's sell by date!) Anyone remember his bit on Rockschoo...

The arpeggiated synth part?

Nothing at all special, just a few saws detuned so it's nice and thick, filter fairly open, organ-type envelope - it's a pretty vanilla synth sound that more or less any synth could do...

So how feasible is getting to the stage of having re-programmable cards? Presumably, assuming the card format is reverse-engineered and understood, you would need: - Software for converting a batch of pre-prepared samples into a file/image that can be written to the card - Software for actually writ...

about M1/WS ...there is no PCMCIA slot. The SR is, it's different tech to the earlier M1/WS (this is all from hazy memory though)... Have someone dissected its format in public? And where are the tools about making that PCM file which is ready to put on the card? You'll need to google, I was involv...

btw, hilarious, that INtegra7 is really module which only has one benefit -- all the expansion cards inside ready for readout. :D :D :D no other benefits! Its operating system and build is really wacko way becouse of its apt to crash; :S I'll stick with my XV-5080 then! :) Surprised it's crashy tho...

Well... in this case can we still make readouts of the Korg MSC waveform cards or do You post online the waveform card readout dumps? When I made shootout that "hey these PCM cards can be readed out and replicated!" in a means that it can be made affordable by public co-operation, I hope it was jus...

If my memory serves me rights there are no sockets, even the OS eproms are soldered on the pcb. In order to update to EX you should desolder 2 OS chips and solder 6 IC sockets There are 4 pcm roms that are 4001 type and should be installed to the empty slot of IC 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 of KLM-1415 My OS must h...

I'm fairly sure that my non-EX WS does not have empty sockets, it just has empty board space with no sockets - this is partly why the original EX upgrade required installation by Korg (who presumably soldered in the sockets). I'd have to go open up up to refresh my memory, but I did go in there quit...

Ok, thanks I was just asking why you were doing this or what it meant, I wasn't asking or expecting anything from you. It's difficult to understand you exactly, but looks like you are copying the chips for someone as a favour. That's fine, sometimes someone is doing a favour for one person, sometime...

The only difference between the standard and EX is the OS ROM needs to be substituted and the four expansion ICs are put into already available sockets, right? It works out to be a simple 5 EPROM kit, correct? Don't forget the "EX" sticker..! :) So once these have been read, what can be done with t...

Good knowledge!

Doesn't look like a synth, looks more like a portable organ or something similar.

I don't think i looks like good "my first synth" material, personally...

*Unfortunately*, many good "my first synth" territory is now ridiculously overpriced (eg, Roland SH-101, Moog Prodigy)...
