I think a lot of people are building these up to be more than what they are, and are going to be very disappointed. Yep. I remember thinking that the "Sea Monkeys" I ordered from the back of my Spiderman comic book in 1972 were going to be like giant seahorse families with smiling faces. Today's $4...

Your attitude towards these "synth" kits is the same as all the hi-fi snobs was for the Vacuum Tube Amplifier kit that Gakken put out. These are educational toy kits for kids - not investments only to be sold for hundreds down the road on ebay. I think a lot of people are building these up to be mo...

The theremin sounds like a toy duck or race car. I don't feel like going out of my way to get the synth kit now. Who knows maybe it will somewhat cool after all. Mini-Theremin Otona no Kagaku Is there really no magazine's like that over here(North America)? I haven't gone into book stores in ages. W...

I wasn't trying to diss at all... it is just that sometimes people think tape is magic when in reality it is hard to use and make sound good IMHO. If you do it well, it sounds great. No worries I didn't take it that way. Tape is great. Since I got my RE-201 some months back I have developed an inte...

You gotta love it...except for if he doesn't know what he's doing they just probably sound like s**t. :lol: I dunno he has been dj'ing way longer than my 9(10) years so I am pretty sure he can record himself, even with his seemingly ghetto recording style. Shityeah my new tape loop just came in the...

I always really just wanted an MD with 8 MS20 filters!! 8 MS-20's? You have good taste sir. My MD-UW, MS-20 and MS-10 are delicious. *cleans the corners of his mouth with a napkin* If I could find a working MS-50 for less than two limbs that would be spectacular. Bah...thanks for reminding me about...

A site that lists all of them with pictures, as well as info, would be cool. Models: RE-100, 101, 150, 200, 201, 301, 501 and SRE-555(rack) 101/150: are fine if you're looking for just a tape delay. They each have 6 settings and the difference is the 150 has a direct output and an echo output. Don't...

I noticed doepfer makes a midi to cv and a cv to midi. Any modular guys know what's up with those? Maybe those modules(for the midi route) or the doepfer sequencer(looks like it can be triggered). Of course I haven't used modules before, but it's something that would interest me. It's for my MS-10/2...

Analog sequencer/arpeggiators?

I've been looking around to see if anyone is making any but I've yet to come across any. At first I was thinking of a Mobius but it can't be used as an arpeggiator, no inputs on it and nothing about using it as one in the manual. Another idea would be to use another synth(with an arp/midi) to trigge...

I bought my MS-10 back from Dj Fetus . He was good to deal with, just like before. Good communication and shipped insured. Even though he purposely went out in an explosion, he corresponded via email with me to make sure I received my parcel. It is only proper to give feedback where it is due. :happ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudiment http://www.youtube.com/user/DrumRudiments Use two snare samples? I've never owned an MPC. I am not sure if you can engage repeat on one pad, like parameter locks on the Machinedrum. If it does then cool. Like mentioned above he could be using a roll sample, the...

Heh I was thinking of making the guy an offer too. Yep that's the one I had and should have never sold, with the momentary on button. My MS-20 is still mad at me for sending his best friend away. It depends from person to person but I would say it's more desirable at least to me. Congrats. Regardles...
