yeah, it kid of sounds like he picked off the hit list of cheesy FM sounds to create the backing track... the movie looks dark as h**l, too bad the music doesn't fit! The thought of using one synth + drum machine to do a soundtrack is pretty cool tho. The sounds do fit IMO - typical DX brittle and ...

Never seen Exterminator II. (But I probably will in future.) I bet it displays the DX7's versatility (even without sampling capabilities). Is it just one filmscore that is 90% DX synths? Are there others like it around? I would think that there were productions done entirely with a DX7 using some o...

If they found a way to make the R3/Radias with the dirtier sound of the M2K or MK series, they'd have a killer combo. If you want something dirty from the R3, why not just program a little dirt in the sound? The amp/drive section is pretty comprehensive and the insert effects offer additional "dirt...

Thanks Micke - I enjoyed that! I definitely recognized the DX sounds and the movie had the look of the movies I remember from when I was a teen-ager.

I think I'll play with my DX200 for a while when I get home tonight.

Where can I find this Oasis?

...looks like it should have a "warm" sound.

The R3 has the low-aliasing oscillators of the Oasis (for its analog style oscillators) so they probably do sound quite a bit different than those on the MicroKorg. A nice feature that came through intact from the Radias is the formant motion memory where you can record 7.5 second vocoded phrases an...

No, the DX7 is not compatible with TX81Z patches.

I'm making a mental note to never audition the MicroKorg or MS2000 because I love the sound of my R3 and don't want to risk ruining that.

The Solina or at least layered Solina is on "Just Like Heaven".

The $200 rebate was enough to make me decide to buy the R3. Although I just got it Wednesday, I couldn't be happier with it!

I am interested in getting a novation synth again. I used to have the A station but sold it because I didn't like the interface with the cluttered knobs. I did like the sound of that synth however. So, here's my question: How does the KS series compare with the Novas/Supernovas? aL I have an A-Stat...

IMO the Vintage Pro ROM is definitely one of the worthwhile ROMS for the P2K synths both in terms of samples and presets. I would be even more enthusiastic about it if only E-Mu had done a better job on a few of the multi-samples. Some of the best/most useful instrument samples have at least one pla...

I've heard the D-50's presets described in many ways but never before as being particularly mix cutting.

OK, this thread began innocently enough but I know threads like this often go downhill. There have been good points made on both sides of the argument but please, no personal attacks.

With the latest A-Station OS update, the A-Station and K-Station are functionally identical AFAIK. The A-Station was my first synth. I'm pretty familiar with it and I know they can be had for less than $150 these days but if you are considering an A-Station then my advice is to check out a Xiosynth...
