The new electro set (including a cover of Grace Jones' "Warm Leatherette") was a synth highlight. Jo...

Rupert Greenall of "The Fixx" passes his synths/keyboards through both the carrier and program (mic) input of a vocoder (supposedly the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder) to add depth to the sounds. . At last . . . a specific model of vocoder attributed to Rupert Greenall's signature synth sound! Rupert Green...

. I'd like to see CLAVIA or ROLAND or YAMAHA release a ROMpler designed for DJ booth and desktop spaces, like KORG's MicroX . . . Basically an affordable, microKorg or Micron size, battery-operated Electro or Fantom or Motif. Just think of the cool names . . . micro-Electro Micro-Juno Micro-Motif :) .

"rhodes" sounds more like a wurlitzer to my ear, but the playing of the sound is really good; very authentic.

Re: field recording

I just bought a Zoom H2 for $258 CDN taxes and extended warrantee in. It can record 4 tracks at once since it has four built in mics. http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/images/zoom-h2-hand.jpg Here's one link for comparisons but there are others too. http://transom.org/tools/recording_inte...

. I have long wondered why KORG did not include an 8 note -- 1 OSC per voice -- polyphony option on the mK. Since a LAYER patch reduces the mK's polyphony from 4 to 2, why not add a one-Osc-per-voice patch option raising it from 4 to 8? :? p.s. You can hear and see my live use of the mK's vocoder du...

Why would roland ever make real analog gear again when they can make VA's that most people can't tell the difference between? VA's are synths just like any others, I don't get why it would be bad for them to just keep improving on VA technology instead. Its about how you use the synth anyway. I've ...
