Sure making purchases based on looks might sound superficial, but I don't think keeping good feng shui in the studio is such a bad thing. For example I sure as h**l wouldn't want a Waldorf XTk next to a Nord Lead. They might make a good pair practically but looks wise it'd just piss me off all the t...

Looks cool, but sounds pretty bland. Yeah I'd have to agree, beautiful machine no doubt, but sonically doesn't quite do it for my money. :? It's amazing how people judge a product by a few patches on an online video. Sounds powerful to me, and with a nifty output for each voice individually... I'm ...

Damn, that thing's a beaut!

I try not to throw rarer gear in this section, but c'mon. Think the last one of these to come up went for under half of this? 271530616329 Last LM-1 i've seen was on evilbay UK about 4 months ago and went for 4400GBP wich is +-7500USD. That's just stupid. I almost bought one that needed fixing once...

Seller says "price is final" ...yeah right, 'final' bloody straw you mean

Very nice, I got that pad sound from the third example sampled in my Blofeld as a OSC :-D The last track is great, I can hear the M1 doing the melodic bit but what are the other parts from? It's very reminiscent to ealy FSOL and the kind of stuff played on Sasha's & Digweed's Northern Exposure Vol1...

Sure yeah, I guess it'd be a rudimentary form of it

hmm you know that's pretty much spot on to me.

Very different things. Granular synthesis is basically short samples of audio sliced and diced, rearranged and manipulated. Circuit bending is changing the circuits of a synth to do something wildly different, generally experimental rather than by the book electronics theory. So yeah, if you have a ...

Thing sounds pretty good actually

Yep, all good advice - I keep my synths covered with towels (probably not the best but it avoids the static issues of synthetic materials and provides some protection from small bumps).

Also use a paint brush to get dust out of the sliders/knobs.

So to make that clear, is that all old gear, or just the analogs? I have digital drum machines and rack synths. All gear can be affected, but if I were to recommend you remove anything I'd say start with the old analogs - looking at your gear list I'd prioritise the sixtrak and the Juno - if you wa...

What you guys may or may not realise is that Capacitors are rated to tolerate specific maximum temperatures. This can be anywhere from 10ºc to 200ºc Sure most likely your room is within this tolerance, but it can be a crapshoot, some synths particularly older ones, if they were cutting costs they w...
