Excellent, thanks for that. I've not come across that one before.

What was the black one with the wooden ends? Looks similar to some Crumar models, but I couldn't quite tell. Any ideas?

Actually it's 6/12, not 8/16. Haha, yes, whooops. :mrgreen: I was lucky to get mine with a PG-800 and two carts, so no trouble getting used to the tone tweaking. You're right about the presets being a bit less than exciting, but this was the latter half of the 80s, and I think a lot of competition ...

Rick wanted to replace a lot of his older instruments for the 1981 world tour, so he ordered a lot of new stuff from Korg including two Sigma's, two Lambda's, two LP-10 electronic pianos, a PS-3200, Trident and a BX-3 organ. I guess some of that stuff made it to the A-side of The Burning soundtrack...

I seem to recall something about the JX-10 not responding well to parameter changes over Sysex, but I have never dabbled with that so perhaps someone else can clear that one up. There was a replacement EPROM available from Colin Fraser that fixed a few issues too. Again, something I have never tried...

The seller said he was offered £2000 but nothing came of it If it's worth anything near that I'll eat all my hats. I'd not pay more than a few hundred, but that's based on instinct rather than market knowledge. i have a friend who has maplin gear and he says it could need lots of work, ive also rea...

Nice. I'll have to try my JX-10 later and see what I can come up with.

I think preset monos have been under-rated for a long time, so it's nice to see one getting some love. Maybe the Roland SH-1000/2000 are more widely known, along with the ARPs, but I like the simplicity of these preset machines. The patches on my Teisco S-100p sound like nothing I'd ever create myse...

If I were you I'd watch your words. Don't come here and start making such statements with only a handful of posts and no direct experience of Mini's (actually excellent) service and sales record. Consider yourself advised the mods don't take kindly to this kind of thing.

A pleasure. After our conversation I've been looking at VCS3s all day online, to my slight dismay.

I don't think I've heard one of these before - nice work. Thanks for sharing.

I had a DP-004 for a while, and thought the overall quality was good - there was a bit of faffing about with file formats and I didn't find the menus particularly intuitive - it wasn't overly complex, just could have been tidier. The main limitation was two track recording, so if there's any chance ...

Jean Jacques Perrey, Gershon Kingsley, Mort Garson, and Hans Wurman often get thrown in with the goofy s**t, even though these guys were doing full-on incredible electronic (and even electronic dance) music with synthesizers. In the 60s and early 70s. Not heard of Mort Garson before, thanks. As for...

That's a lot of red bull.

There's a link to some info on system disks in this other thread . I've had an MC-50mkII for ages and never used it beyond switching it on to make sure it wasn't dead... must have a go some time. If it's old sequencers with nice keypads you like, you want one of these (5.25" floppies FTW!): http://i...
