I'm clearly adding to a completed question and answer; but I had to volley my two pence worth... I actually have a machine that I dedicated to do ripping of my audio collection (CD) to uncompressed .wav. It doesn't have a sound card. The bits travel from the drive itself, to the hard disc (making th...

But almost everything in the top photo is cheap casio c**p that anyone can collect. I see a moog 1630 (Bode Frequency Shifter)... I doubt that would be classified as cheap nor easy to come by... ;) I dunno - I have a different perspective on it all. Music Technology fascinates me on many levels, an...

Has anyone offered this guy USD$400 bucks for this? I mean, I'm all for DIY, it's super neat -- but to encase your midi output in a blue plastic wall receptacle box, I don't know ... doesn't seem very groundbreaking. Slightly ghetto. I am sure this has been brought up here before... 320746651382

Less about price and more about coming up for sale less... And still at a reasonable price, if I recall correctly...

About $1000 dollars under most of the others for sale right now.. if I had the cash, I'd pull the trigger on this one.

I, by no stretch of imagination have a "huge" setup -- but I do have a pretty decent studio setup right now, with some of the synths that I found most intriguing, and most inspiring. I may have more than some, but that's not to say I don't know them intimately or collect them to just own them. My mu...

I might get slapped in the face for saying this...

But...

Couldn't you do this with something like a Korg Microsampler?

Mine? Korg Mono/Poly. Seems like the synth I keep getting ripped off trying to obtain. They should have named the synth "unobtanium". First try, the guy who was selling was being a painful retard, tried jacking the price up on me. I walked. Second try, a dude on craigslist with a cheap one, that app...

I kind of think the reason knobby VA hardware is in a lesser amount (to a certain degree) than analog devices is the fact that Computer technology has gone from the days of the Commodore and Atari, (which couldn't do alot in the way of DSP, at least modeling analog bits) to machines like the iPad an...

Thing that springs to mind for me is the OB-12. Solid choice. I own one, albeit somewhat in an inpoerable state. That said, it's fun, and indeed quirky. Fizmo? Used to own one, loved it, had to part ways due to financial reasons, One day I will again own one. Cheetah MS-6 Another intriguing idea I'...

So I've been on the prowl for a machine that's different from the standard fare; not for any other reason than to realize different timbres and maybe find some interesting workflow. So given that, I've been working under these general guidelines: --> under USD$2k --> not modular kit (explain in a mo...

When you say something is a spot-on comparison, then later on state that they don't sound the same and you don't get nearly as many filter options, that to me seems like "it is, but it isn't". Not trying to paint this as any keyword thing; the ad clearly states right under the title, and I quote; Mi...

Actually, it's a pretty spot-on comparison. Saying that, they still don't sound the same, and you don't get nearly as many filter options on the VX. I detect a bit of circular logic there... Nevertheless, that was precisely what I was complaining about: I also think their description on the auction...

Care to post a sample so we can have a listen?

fwiw, SOMEBODY seems to think $1100 is an ok price. ...Aah this old debate again... :) Just 'coz one person is willing to shell out large dollars for something coined "rare" -- and even that term is quite overused/abused/misused -- doesn't mean that it's worth that in the common market. Maybe who k...
