JP-6 Arpeggiator

Okay...I've been having quasi-spiritual experiences just playing my newly acquired JP-6. I have a DR-110 and I understand it can be used for the Arp Clock in with its trigger out, which I believe is a 5V pulse. I just haven't gotten around to playing with the good Doctor and the arp yet. Now, since ...

Re: Sonic State King Korg review

made some decent sounding tracks that fooled analog gearheads--they were very curious about what I was using, and some of them stopped talking to me after they found out I was using FL. Learned a hard lesson there...don't tell people what you're using! There's more than sounds to making music...the...

Re: Sonic State King Korg review

I have a really difficult time getting it to stand out in a mix (and I have been fiddling with it for over five years, so if you've got some inside info on how to make it "tick" then let me know) http://i.imgur.com/YEl9ukg.jpg I was more saying that in the sarcastic way that the VSE review for the ...

Re: 8bit osc+Analog filter synth

I just want dirty digital osc with analog 24db filter color. Still in Poly-800 range if you take that quote out of context. Yes, the oscillators are technically Digitally Controlled Oscillators (emphasis on the "Controlled" part); they are analog DCOs but they sure sound dirty. They don't make perf...

Great Deal in Plattsburg

Great deal for anyone who can get to Plattsburgh who needs a DX-7 AND an RX-11 (and other cool stuff). I would snag that if it wasn't so far...

Re: Waldorf Rocket?

This box looks very fine, but for me the absence of an attack stage is a deal breaker... No nice string patches... Would have been a nice live poly... But that's not what it's for...for what it actually is, I'm liking it more and more. Most famous synths with a real signature sound are limited...so...

Re: Korg MS-20 Mini

You guys want a monopoly, buy a monopoly. A new theoretical, equivalent isn't going to be near the current prices. You're missing the point-- we want something new, that doesn't come scratched up. Mint condition, and if it's broken it's replaceable, or you can call the company and get something. If...

Re: Korg MS-20 Mini

Let's say Korg wouldn't do any more rereleases-- how would you guys feel about new synths that may be inspired by old voice architecture? I'd still love something like the Mono/Poly's 4 oscillator architecture, as long as they didn't call it a Mono/Poly if it wasn't worthy of the name. I'm talking ...

Re: Korg MS-20 Mini

Okay...this thread is now to 49 pages in exactly 3 months (to the day)...who's gonna push it to 50 in the next few hours?

Has there been a bigger thread that has amassed more posts in this time frame in the history of the VSE? (honest question, not trying to be overdramatic)

Re: Korg MS-20 Mini

mm, well considering this is only as a commemoration of 50yrs and all I'd expect they wouldn't do any other re-issues. I mean they've been done before right? However I do hope they do more analog stuff, and given the apparent success and reaction to this I'd expect that to be much more likely. I'd ...
