What would you like to know? Most of my gigs are benefits... I'm just curious as to how you use your MC-505: what style(s) of music you perform, what are the circumstances, etc. Nice 'n' compact setup, you know? I've since moved on to an MC-909, but I've had a couple of 505's and loved them. They'r...

On my guerrilla gigs I simply use a Korg Prophecy and a Roland MC 505 (with original beats etc). It takes 15 minutes to set up and 5 minutes to tear down. I only require two direct boxes and a mike. If I'm playing a bigger gig, I'll add my Moog Theremin (extra direct box). There was a time I used a ...

Sometimes quantity is not quality and vice versa. In my unused music gear 'closet' lies: 1. Yamaha CS 40 M 2. ARP Explorer 3. Yamaha SK 10 4. Yamaha DX 100 5. Roland Octapad 1 6. Yamaha WX 7 7. Roland SH 1000 8. Roland TR 505 9. Boss DR 110 10. various misc stuff like a 4 track cassette, guitar... H...

Wrong place for this (help topic maybe), but it has a direct switch on the back (if it's like my KP1) - that might have something to do with it...

Wasn't there an early version of the mini Moog on Abbey Rd. by the Beatles? I thought I read that somewhere...

I know Linda McCartney played one and was fond of the mini Moog.

She does a nice lead on Band On The Run circa 1972 (I think).

Remember these rules: 1. You don't have to buy. 2. You don't have to sell.

[ I came across a video of a guy using his KP3 as a Kaossilator (hooked up to his computer): http://circuitbent.wikispaces.com/Kaossilator And here's a guy using his laptops touchpad the same way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWE2ptQtYk0 Pretty cool! :D I've done a similar thing with my KP 1 and ...

That was actually pretty good...

RCA Synth circa 1955

No sync or midi is THE dealbreaker for me. Imagine using this thing to control midi synths and also vintage ones with a midi/cv converter.... that would be a bloody revolution. Isn't that possible with the KaossPad 3? Yes, sort of, but it doesn't have the Kaossilator programs and loops. It's more o...

I had one as a demo rental for a month. I found it interesting and somewhat a good time waster. At the time I felt the bang for the buck was lacking because there was no undo ability (except one layer) and lack of midi sync. I hope one with midi sync comes out. The sounds were excellent in quality a...

Great song but I haven't heard it in years - whatever happened to good old Peter?
