Re: Akai AX80 Preset Tapes

let me look. i know i've got one someplace. it's a dump from a working AX-80, so I can't guarantee the it's 100% factory original patches.

Re: hard shell cases for roland sh101 & Yamaha CS5

i've had good luck with Island Cases.
Not like $400 ATA cases, but good workmanship, and custom sizes.

Re: Best synth ever!

never warmed up to it, but over the years i'd have to vote for the M1 as the 'best and most complete'.

complete: synth, sequencer, effects

best?: sold like 100.000 units

Re: Peculiar samples

sold the Mirage and all the disks long ago...sorry i did.
basicly, the parrot was the attack, followed by the "a-doodle-do" rooster sound. the bagpipe was a single chanter note with a pronounced 'fall-off' at the end. trimmed, combined and slowed they gave a good "AAAWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" .

Re: Yamaha 'Keyboard'

for $200, it's a steal !!! While the ROM=tones are ok, the meat is the pumped-up 6-op FM side. more algorithms, THREE feed-back loops, and though you can layer a rompler tone with the FM, the big thing is you can modulate the FM section with the ROM sounds. PLUS there are two resonant filters for ea...
