I've been considering it as my first trip into modularland. What would you guys think about just getting a second VCO module with the normal 12 that would come with it? Important to have a good sounding single OSC, but having a second I'd think would compound it by 3 fold. Would I need to get all th...

I couldn't hear it very well on the crud system I'm on. It has goblins in the title, goblins is a standard patch I've seen I think on some Yamaha gear. Not sure, it might be a standard GM sound even, but don't know if that will help ya any, I'd have to check it out to be sure if even similar. Not ex...

http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/emi/english/synth/SU700E1.pdf SU700 is a neat looking machine, you know it has no sounds of its own because its an SU (Sampler Unit) I hope. You may need to import or load in or put sounds of your own in it. I had one for a week about when they came out, I had no...

Welcome, I'd recomend you to look at the difrent Korg electribe line of gear. Good starter units and I don't recomend Korg gear that often, but its a decent way to get your feet wet in the hardware world. They'll have sequencers and tracks, you'll be able to build pretty whole sounding songs with pa...

Well damn! Sometimes if you want to see what the quickest way to ground is then you must be able to look through your own a*s. I read once that electricity has a million eyes like a pile of s**t has a thousand eyes so maybe that helps it see where its going, but I don't know if I believe everything ...

If your equating analog to instability then I say prepare yourself for frustration. You might have a point with older gear whether its all analog or not though. Two seperate things, two seperate issues there. One your going to start up the age old debate of A vrs D and that just simply is a trap to ...

Yeah the 3rd prong is a ground. You can still get shocked either way. The ground prong is more important on things like washer and dryers, stuff with large motors in them that can generate static around the metal outside, electronic devices like synths not so much a concern as for getting a shock of...

I usually clean the outsides of my synths with a damp cloth or towel with a small drop of dish washer soap. The insides I blow out with compressed air in a can or from an air compressor. Sticky keys or knobs usually just need to be used some and broke back in on the stuff I've used. I've never reall...

I don't know the song, but for pads you need something that can do a slow attack and a slow release on th amp EG when you press and let go of notes. Something that is polyphonic will probably help a lot too so you can do chords. It might also help if you got a synth that has a noise generator too fo...

Sounds like General Midi instruments except that particular sound has a nice phase effect on it. The rest are all pretty generic sounding sounds which is why I'd guess a GM sound set was used on it. No particular synth I'd be able to tell ya without some kind doubts. Something with GM sounds and a n...

Are those incapsulated modules filters? At least the ones that have 40xx seem like they might filters, but that seems like a lot of them and difrent ones too. Very clean inside, I'll take it, your giving it away too right?

Roland MC-505

Took mine out again this weekend, unbelievable machine for what they are going for, they are steals. I paid about 6 to 7x for one when they were new like about 10 years ago now.
