Oberheim excasy

I plugged in an Oberheim SEM that I borowed and: My head is spinning, my heartbeat-rate dubbled and my hands are all sweaty. Now its played the same short Pro-One sequence for 30 minutes and I just cant make myself turn it of, its heavenly. The filter doing soft BP. It has very deep end, light nasal...

Re: 1u synths

Cheetah MS-6. Sounds like matrix-1000 but is multitimbral and you can edit it from the front.

Re: Tim Blake's setup (w/ Steve Hillage)

What a setup :shock: The nicest Ive ever seen. Can it be, any nicer. In a Chandler voice.

Ill have to put on my only Steve Hillage album, thats not System 7, and dream.

Re: If you had $1,000.00-$1,200.00

I think timeing is the main thing about bying synths. Depending on what Id alredy have: Arp Odyssey, if I was looking for a monosynth. Berhaps a micromoog/polysix(or Juno60) if I needed a combo. Or a Pro-One and a CS-50... A Jupiter-6 if I was looking for a poly. Want - to - spend - money - aargh.

Ive been thinking about spare parts for all af my synths(past and present) at one time or another but you dont know if and whats going to break...

Re: If you had to

It had to be the Jupiter-8 & Minimoog.

Perhaps it would be smarter to keep the Xpander over the Mini.
But then Id propably lay sleepless thinking about big knobbs. :oops:

A Mini isnt unreliable.

The stock market is, computers are, but not a Mini.

Re: Spend my inheritance (well... some of it...)

I'm with Stab & Esus on this. A Minimoog is realy the most welbuilt, nice thing. Its easy to objectify and they age good. The sounds are like emotional poetry, Ill soon begin to weep... :) The prophet 08 sounds great, but to me it wont make stop desiering other polysynths, and perhaps youll miss the...

Re: CS-30 vs. MS-20

Ive not played the CS-30, only the CS-15, but a lot of MS-20. Their limitations are very diferent. Aswell as their basic sound. Ill think youll find them diferent enough for having both. I would. If you have the economy get the MS-20, buy it and then deside after a couple of months if any of them ha...

Re: Doepfer A-100 VS Roland System 100

It depends on where you are. Ive seen a couple of system 100s for sale here in sweden during the last years. I tried ona at a store (jamshop.se) and it definitly sounded good, "fat and vintage". Its a good idea to register at bluesynths.com and read reviews and listen to soundfiles. You'll notice th...
