i saw that, looks pretty good. i hope more companies will
make fm synths. i just bought a Mackie lm-3204 mixer and am
pleased with it so far

hehe, there is good new stuff coming. The Waldorf STVC looks
interesting and that new Behringer Neutron doesn't look bad
either. Can't wait for Soundbooth in May

Right now, I'm searching for cheap rack effects with
character. I've got a Quadraverb and a MAM VF-11 Vocoder.
Also a Roland RSP-550 which hasn't been thrilling so far.

these are on my checkout-list:
ibanez hd1500
lexicon vortex
midiverb II
yamaha spx 90
zoom studio 1201

hows that vocoder? could you chuck some samples of it on
soundcloud or youtube? i have a boss se 50 which is similar
to the rsp550, have you tried the vocoder on it?

the MAM VF-11 Vocoder is okay, u need to have a "good"
carrier sound and it can take some time til you find the
sweetspots.

i actually had it lying around in another apartment and
found it when i was visiting. i had totally forgotten about
it. i bought this thing like 15 years ago. i wouldn't buy it
today, because its not worth what people sell it for these
days. using it as a filterbank can be nice, though.

There are other vocoders that sound much better, but if you
want a cheap, easy, a lil noisy vocoder get the zoom studio
1201. I saw VHS Head has two of them.

Haven't tried the rsp550 vocoder yet. i'm in the middle of
getting my studio together and everything is lying around.
an example for the MAM VF-11 would be beastie boys
intergalactic. i read somewhere that they used it for the
track. an example for the zoom studio 1201 is here:

when i get everything together i can post stuff. can't wait
to get my little spaceship together

Ensoniq DP2 or DP4 if u can find one. Good all round effect
rack and not too terribly expensive.

hey thanks! that wasn't on my radar at all. DP4 sells for
around 400 Euro, though

I need to arrange a mini set up, and due to an unbeatable
deal I’ll be getting a MS 20 mini, microKorg, and volca
beats and sample. All by Korg you’ll have noticed; again,
great deal.

Any other suggestions (staying with Korg) regarding the
synths?

I could get the minilogue instead of the ms 20, but I love
the look and sound of the ms 20. As for the microKorg, is
there another small polyphonic synth I could see as an
option?

I'd just want the MS-20, plus Expert Sleepers Silent Way or the
Spektro CV Toolkit to muck with the inputs from a computey.

DP-4's are a rarity on sale so when you see one grab it and
just see what it can do for you. It's technically a dual
effect processor but you have a mode wherein you link the
two together with several really brilliant feedbacking
options, MIDI support on it is good and it has a CV input
incase you have an oldy sitting around that you want to add
to the mix... a DP-4 is technically two DP-2's stacked but
four times the amount of entanglement options amongst the
effects (afaik).
