Re: Fender Rhodes noob needs some help

For some reason, the suitcase models usually have a better action (ie, not as heavy) than the stage models. But that's just in my experience. I have a MkI Seventy-Three Stage and I mod'd the action.

Re: Strangest thing you ever found inside a synth

I once found this petite blacked hair girl who spoke Japanese with enormous blue eyes and big tits all curled up inside a DX1.

Re: Please Convince Me I Don't Need An Alesis Ion

You ever program an SY77? It's not a b***h at all; everything is clearly laid out on a screen that's the same size as the JD-990 or Wavestation or any other digital synth of the 90s. It also has filters, with resonance, that sound great, a well-written manual, and tons of free sounds online that you...

Re: Please Convince Me I Don't Need An Alesis Ion

If you want FM, why not get an FM synth? FS1r, SY77, DX7, etc.

Re: Expensive MIDI Cables...?

Unless the cable is really, really, really crappily made, the only time you should pay a premium is if you're running it 100's of feet. Otherwise, any signal degradation is going to be minimal if at all. This goes for audio and data cables (both of which are "transmitting" voltages... what else woul...

Re: Advice on the Nord Electro 2 - please help

Hmmm... you may be right. I only had that one gig with it. I didn't have much time with it. I'd be curious to hear them side by side. For the record, I have a Nord Electro2 73.

Re: Advice on the Nord Electro 2 - please help

Light years ahead of the abortion that korg produces to rival it. Gotta disagree with you there, if you're referring to the SV-1. I too was not expecting much from the Korg but then one showed up as backline at a gig I did in Norway a few months ago (along with a really nice real Hammond C3 and twi...
