real equipment?

i'm sick of staring at a computer screen & wasting money on
tangible software.

i have invested in an organ, Roland Juno-60, casio ctk-510,
BOSS dr-202, & a SP-202.

what do you people use?

why dont u get a midi controller for ur computer?

that way u (almost) get the tangibility of hardware w/ the
versatility and stealability of software...

because i believe midi controllers are a waste of money,
when you can buy cheap/reliable hardware without having to
upgrade all the time.

I have a Juno-60, and I love it. It is my favorite synth.
Very good for ambient. That's it for actual hands-on gear
though. Well, unless you count a drum kit.

I have a Roland JX-305. Fruity Loops. Recycle. All the

If I ever get the money, I'd like to have a faster computer

you a fan of Korg? what features do you think reign over the
Roland stuff?

I think I'd cream myself if I could get my hands on one of
those Akai MPC3000XL or whatever the fuck they're called.
holy shit, they've got OOGLES of features :)


 

offline Spookyluke from United States on 2002-05-21 03:42 [#00227478]
Points: 1955 Status: Lurker



I'm not particularly fond of Korgs. I mean, there's no
doubt that the Triton and they're top-end synths are
definitely amazing and worth raving over, but a lot of their
products don't appeal to me. ;|


 

offline Quoth from Sweden on 2002-05-21 03:49 [#00227498]
Points: 3840 Status: Lurker



exactly... which would you agree luke, that Roland has and
continues to make, SOLID: VERY reliable instruments/synths?

i particularly detest korgs use of colors. I enjoy a nice
black casing w/weird color patterns... like on my Juno-60...
personal taste though

offline Spookyluke from United States on 2002-05-21 03:52 [#00227504]
Points: 1955 Status: Lurker



Definitely--Roland is the choice for me and my needs. Korg
tends to skimp on support for anything that isn't their
top-of-the-line stuff. My Roland Jx-305 was relatively
cheap, has lots of great features, and is a powerful
sequencer and synth--so essentially it's only not a
big-bucks synth because it doesn't have an inboard sampler,
and since I use computers too, I don't need a $3,000 device
to do all of that and have a couple more keys. Plus, I
don't know of any Korgs with ADSR knobs and other real-time
controls.

(in order of acquisition)

digitech rp-3 fx proc.
roland tr-606 beatbox
yamaha djx rompler/midi ctrl
roland tr-626 beatbox
ibanez digital delay pedal
mackie vlz-1202 mixer
yamaha tx81z fm synth
korg poly-800 subtractive synth
roland mc-50mkii sequencer
yamaha ry-30 drumbox
akai s2000 sampler

the poly-800 broke about a year ago.
the tr-606 broke sometime within the last few months.
I use the ry-30 mostly for sequencing the s2000 now. and the
djx is strictly a controller.
I want to get an electribe ea-1 (for sequencing, mostly)
over the summer and maybe an er-1 (I was fucking around with
a store model and the real-time control on this is fucking
cool...!)

I've yet to play a live show. my favourite toy right now is
my sampler, mostly cos I've only had it for 2 weeks. the
only 2 pieces of software I use regularly for sound are
audiomulch and cooledit.

haha...I have bad luck with gear malfunctioning, and
unfortunately my digital camera has fallen to this as well.

however, most of this stuff can be viewed at vintagesynth.com.

the ry-30 isn't there; here is a picture.
here's one of my mixer.
my delay pedal doesn't have a picture online as far as I
know, but it's just a standard-fare early digital delay
pedal with time, feedback, and level knobs.
here's one of the DJX. it looks like a toy, and it
basically is - though it's also a decent MIDI controller.

my mixer. here's another one.

sorry for polluting the board with all these ridiculous
messages about how much ghetto technology I have.

I found the picture. I look like shit but you can see

the background, along with this handy little 4-input mono
DOD passive mixer I forgot to mention.

so my litte home studio

Akai S2000
Boss Dr770
Alesis MMT8
Yamaha PSR510
Behringer MX2004
Audiophile 2496

go hardware, more control, more stable. i use cubase for HD
Recording, Mixdown and Mastering, also for effect, VST/i and
routing, MIDI sequencing..

does nobody here use an atari with cubase? i do, and it's
really great. it never crashes, it runs 100% on-time and it
looks cool ;)

my intruments are cheap shit, though:

- zoom st224 sampler
- mam mb33 synth
- yamaha rx-17 drummachine
- some yamaha multieffect (forgot the name)

for recording i use logic audio. in my opinion, it runs
better than cubase.

yo numbplant, get a cheap sampler (old old Akais are like
<$100 and yamaha TX16Ws are aboot $150) and any keyboard
that has the word "MIDI" on it (as low as like $20). that's
a start. getting shit to sound cool takes a lot of work
though, no matter what you use.
