Re: So... What's up at Elektron?

I got the info from public financial filings by the companys through google and yahoo. The research behind market growth is in many places, but I wasn't talking strictly synths.. that comment was about the 'big 3', who do much more than synths or keyboards. Mass layoff's and closings don't equate a ...

Re: So... What's up at Elektron?

The big companies are losing their shorts right now. Sales in the keyboard world are down to about 25% of what they were 5 years ago. We may see some of the big companies go down, it's that bad. What are you basing this on? Got any details? Alot of ppl seem to speculate but when you check the compa...

Re: Little Boots' Video - Remedy

Im glad there is a little 'Synthpop Rivival' happening but i honestly cant get into it. It's not deep enough and dark enough for me to bother listening to it, sounds like meaningless overproduced pop to me. And i consider it a waste of Analogue Synths in most respects. Come on Britain, we can do be...

Re: Why can't anyone release a small VA with analog filters ?

No, those aren't VA oscillators. Why not? What's the difference between Virtual Analog and Digital Oscillators (NOT DCOs)? Nothing... only a VCO is going to be heard to be different Just realized you said (NOT DCOs) in caps. lol me. my bad. ehh.. that's crazy talk. A DCO is an analogue oscillator t...

Re: Why can't anyone release a small VA with analog filters ?

the quasimidi sirius was a v/a with analog filters.. im not sure about the polymorph though, if it does too like the sirius, then theres a lil synth (rackmount.. similar in design to jp8080 and ms2k) :)

Re: Little Boots' Video - Remedy

I thought she was decent till that lame production company snapped her up and took her from bedroom synth/piano geek to overproduced hiphop cliche c**p. She won't have a hit, only possibility of that is if she somehow ditches the lame producers and actually sticks to trying something different rathe...

Re: Brian Eno: An Ending - Celestial Choir Source?

Processing signals is Eno's huge forte and always hard to duplicate. The guitar and synth bass processing for example on UT's Achtung Baby, DM's Songs of Faith and Devotion, and James/Eno's Wah-Wah are simply awesome... of course Flood was involved too.. but Eno is all over that shiz (flood had noth...

80017a repair (not replace, repair)

I'm sure this video has been posted here already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4lF0xSVQlg This just seems too easy... apparently just removing the resin coating will 'repair' the chip? I've replaced a bunch of these over the years but I've never heard of or tried this, I always assumed it was the...

Re: list some of the forgotten digital multi effect racks

Re: picking up my ms2000r this morning

Low cutoff with a high resonance makes the sound go quiet on the ms2000. It should be the other way around! Try it against a proper analog synth and you'll see what I'm talking about ;) That's incorrect. It's different from synth to synth and is a character of different filters (the "gets quiet" be...
