Korg certainly seems to think that the analog trend is long term. So far their long time competitors like Roland and Yamaha have not taken the bait. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Of possible related interest: go to Klaus Schulze's website to read some interviews where he keeps get...

Ha! I wonder what the h**l happened to Mr. Rich then... He locked himself in his island volcano base. Too right, if you ask me. I'm saving up for on myself. As for the rest of the silliness in this thread, seriously, come on. They look like fun. FUN. And there's nothing wrong with that. Or is there?

And how many people bought the 3200? And how much would it cost in today's money? You're stuck in a loop yourself, there's nothing new about your posts... when I look back at posts that *used* to appear, it tells me volumes. Every good post was back then. Nothing happens now. Where's that post with ...

Definitely. I barely use MIDI now, though still use analogue step sequencing - not always for pitch, mind, and not always clocked in sync with anything else. Playing and then editing audio gives quite different results. Portishead make good use of that approach I think.

2899 GBP, mind... which is well over 4.5k USD... and that's without tax and delivery. VAT here takes that to a gnat's pube over £3400... and that's an imperial f*cktonne of sheets, however much fun.

Looks and sounds great, but £2899? Ouch.

Yep, simple stuff nicely done.

I can haertily recommend the Strymon El Capistan too. A really good delay, that. I tend to ignore the built-in (virtual) spring reverb in favour of a Boss FRV-1, which is a pretty good (virtual) spring reverb pedal... keep meaning to once again get an actual spring reverb, but hey.

This is indeed the thing about vintage... it is not so easy to replace once gone, so you have to reallyl make sure you want to be rid of it first. I still have a stack of stuff that is hard to trim away for that reason. See how you feel further down the line, I say, after perhaps buying one or two o...

That's interesting. I don't think I'd have guessed any of those except the Oddy. Thanks Micke!

What he said. Also, whereas Cross Mod is usually a term applied to synths with oscillators tied to the same basic control source (regular analogue polys, for example, where the pitch is mostly going to be audio frequency and pitched to a scale governed by the keyboard before adding modulation), FM c...

It should be noted that the parameter set on the 77 is different, and that the value ranges of many parameters that are the same are also different... so DX patches on the SY/TG are not going to sound exactly as they would on the older machines. I transferred some patches from a TX7 to an SY77 a whi...

+1. The more I use the Moog MF-102 ring mod, the more I realise how versatile it is. At first I found it a bit one-trick, but it really isn't. Currently I'm using a step sequencer to drive the modulation rate, but with glide added, which gives ramped speed changes, and I'm keeping the rate low so th...

Sounds like frequency modulation to me: one oscillator modulated by another, the (silent) modulator being modulated in frequency itself by a moderately-paced sample and hold random LFO. I expect that would be easy enough in software.

when you say LFO control of tempo and pitch - what do you actually mean - I'm not clear? What sort of LFO wave shapes would offer the varied types of tempo and pitch he achieves. An LFO with voltage controlled rate can be swept by an envelope to slow down. An LFO output of a slightly smoothed squar...
