A new Nord Modular G2 and a Yamaha O1X for £750 (for both not each) by my mate who acquires things for me. He said hopefully he will be able to lay his hands on them next week. I reckon (if he gets them) this will beat the digital camera for value for money :D!!!! |

Does anyone know anything about the Yamaha thingy? Is it meant to be any good? I can get just the Nord for £350 I think. |
||||||||

|
If I was you I would just buy the nord but you probably have about 7 million pounds |
||||||||

|
|
how does he aquire these things? |
||||||||

I have enough for both but I am not a beleiver in wasting cash init mate :D |

Through non violent yet not quite legal methods I assume. |

stealing instruments = uncool |

But stealing software = OK? Fuck off with the moral judgements I just want to know if the stuff is worth buying or not? |
||||||||
|

the yamaha doesn't seem bad at all especially for the price. and stealing makes me go a big rubbery one. |

If you steal software you don't take it away from anyone. And you might eventually buy it - several Germans are stuffing their faces with sausage tonight because I pirated Reaktor and liked it so much I bought it. By buying stolen keyboards you are creating a demand for stolen gear that virtually guarantees your buddy is going to steal some more. |

Both are really good. The Eq on the 01 is a bit crap though, it's better if you take things away rather than boost with it. |
||||||||

How are you getting on with Reaktor? |

So far I like it a lot - I find some of the ensembles in the user library sound terrific and are much lighter on CPU than the flashy ones that ship on the CD. So far I've just created some analog subtractive things that are variations on a tutorial - I'm going to get a lot more into it this weekend. |

I'll wait and see what happens next week...he will probably turn up with a £20 Casio and a Yamaha sewing machine anyway. Reading about the O1X it doesn't really appeal to me at the moment as I'm no where near the level where I would be looking at using it. The Nord would be OK to play with though. |

It's a good way to learn the architechture by deleting bits from the preset ensembles. Sort of going backwards but you find different things out. When you're ready I'll mail you some ensembles I've created from my BRAIN! ; ) |

If he'll sell them seperatly just get the nord, you can do what the 01 does in the PC better. |
||||||||

Cheers that's the way it will be then :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well, while its only a copy of the software... the problem lies in that the company themself arnt getting the profit from it, that they deserve. its pretty much the same thing... (and Im not supporting either) but Ecand: the nord goes for roughly $1800 here. Just be careful... because if you are caught with it... thats possesion of stolen goods. Grand theft technically... |
||||||||

fuckin grab them while they are there, cheap gear is cheap gear, even if you dont use the O1X it can be passed/sold on to a good home. as long as its not coming from someones house its no bother. |
||||||||
|
|

If the police ever check the serial numbers of the stuff in my house I am fucked already, so a couple more things aren't going to make any difference. :D |
||||||||

ah well in that case... *gets a pen and paper* *adds ecand to list of people to potentially blackmail* |

Ha ha ha, I thought you were refering to "both stealing software and stealing hardware" for a second. |

||||||||
