However, you can only spend up to a total of $5000. You may not spend more than half of that amount on any one single synth , Those rules pretty much mandate one of the Evolver series as one of the synths Or: Waldorf Wave Q+ Well you pretty much broke your own rule with those two synths. The PPG Wa...

OK, so I sold off a bunch of stuff and ready to get serious about recording again after a LONG break. I'm an old school guy, used to hardware only (tape, mixers, hardware synths & sequencers, etc.), so I want to keep this system as user freindly as possible. My current set up includes a lot of synth...

I would choose my 3 main synths: Synth Current Value What I Paid Roland Jupiter 6 $1500 $500 mid 90's Roland JD-800 $500 $1000 early 90's Roland Fantom X6 $1200 $1600 2007 Need the JP-6 for analog goodness, JD-800 for digital goodenss and X6 for ROMpling. But you need an analogue/digital hybrid. OK...

JX-1 ? I'm not familiar with the sound. But the looks are horrible. Anyone played it ? Yeah, these came out in the early 90's when I worked at GC. It was basically a ROMpler in a flashy case trying to revive the "rocker" keyboard market. Has nothing to do with the original JX line. I don't remember...

If it's pulse trigger gear, I bet the Garfield Electronics Mini Doc could do it. Maybe even a Roland SBX-10 or 80. It is also my understanding that Korg's DIN sync runs at 48ppq as opposed to Rolands @ 24ppg. Maybe you can make a Roland run faster with a Korg sync signal. I dunno. Has anyone ever tr...

So are looking to buy one? Or do you need us to check something out for you?

Has anyone heard this module?

Just wondering...

The Roland M-480 (6 space rack) has Master & Sub assign buttons instead of mutes. When you press the appropriate button, it sends it to that bus. If neither are pressed, that channel goes nowhere (essentially muted). Howver, I think the pre-fader sends are assigned to the main bus. The CUE buttons a...

As far as I know, the MAQ 16/3 is 3 monophonic tracks which can be used for any "control voltage" including pitch, filter, etc. You could have a 3 note chord with each note on a seperate track. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken. Right on.. thats exactly what i'm planning as a hopeful option and wh...

The Mobius has ceased production and there are no more left now. However the Elektron Monomachine can offer you 64 steps and 6-tracks of sequencing power and poly too (if you want to construct chords). That's good to know. I'll be looking into a MonoMachine in the future. The 6 tracks are polyphoni...

Production of the Mobius has ceased. They did come up for sale on eBay quite a bit in the past, but I bet their prices will start to go up in the future. Yes, the Modius is monophonic, but I beleive most step sequencers of the same variety are also monophonic. I have only been back into this elecron...

Your 808/909 sounds are very convincing. What machine are you using since I didn't see either listed in your gear list?

Stuff sounds great. I'm not much into the "303" sound, but you've done it tastefully.

The secondary percussionist in my old band used one. I thought the onboard sounds were pretty corny, but as a midi controller I'm sure it would be fine. The Octapads (PAD-8 & PAD-80) are percussion controllers only, with no onboard sounds. In the early 90's, Roland introduced the SPD-8, which DID h...
