Anways whilst waiting for the shop to open this morning, I had a peer into the window of the Charity shop next door & YAY!!..They've got one in a box et al for £4.50...Hopefully the other half is gonna get it for me today.. Bargain...if only for memories sake... |

i remember one with a microphone attached on a curly wire like an old phone, is it that one? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I dunno...IIRC correctly it had a built in microphone... Been digging up some circuitbending ideas from the net; I'll let you know how I get on..... |

Nice one jand, yeah I had an SK1 and SpecDrum on the Speccy! ahhhh, the memories.... :) |

I bought my SK-1 in 1987 and I still got it - how could I sell my first piece of gear ever? (since the mains out is broken it only runs on batteries nowadays) |

I'm still daily sickened I had to sell my SH101 to pay off drug debts; I fucking adored that little silver machine - made you feel like Kraftwerk merely being in the same room as it... :(................................................. probe: All the best people had spectrums - I've had a long-held theory that our culture would be hugely different if it hadn't come along and bewitched a generation... Hmmmm...I had a SK5 as well; I wonder where that is, I certainly can't recall chucking it.... (oh and a CS01 - a tiny Yamaha analogue synth - picked that up for £2 from a boot sale as well....I really must visit my family and get up in that loft....)... |

i havent played with an sh-101 for years! is there an emulator or plug-in for the pc? |
||||||||
|
|

I would have thought so....it's a fairly basic monophonic synth not a million miles from the 303 so bound to be something out-there... (To be honest, some of the synths in FL etc are just, if not more, capable....) Used to be such hassle keeping kit together - I would've killed a kitten or 10 to get my hands on half the power of modern music software....STOP ME before I got off on a "you kids don't know you've been born" rant...:).. |

i still remember being blown away with the sh-101 and the huge juno synth aged 14. i couldnt believe what i was hearing. amazing stuff. |

jand, yeah I have fond memories of early home computing (C64, Atari ST, Amiga, Speccy) I had em all... And used em for music, even the Dragon32 (I got some crazy shit out of that). I sold all my first equipment, and wish I kept it all (Casio CZ1000, SH101, Alesis Midiverb II etc. etc.)... Ah well... Now I have a G4 laptop with virtual versions of the original synths... |
||||||||

"All the best people had spectrums" Damn straight! Those C64 kids were fools... Seriously, I don't think I'd be in my current career, into this sort of music or the person I am now if my folks hadn't got a Spectrum a month before I was born. Having it there since I was a baby really made a difference. That loading noise is pretty much ingrained in my soul. Drummond: Re SH-101 emulation, there isn't one that sets out to emulate it directly (in the way there are loads of 303 clones) so far as I know. That said, there are decent emulations of it in modular programs (I know there are some good factory defaults in Vaz Modular that are good starting places for SH101 type patches and I imagine someone has done one in Reaktor). You can also do a half decent job of it with Muon Tau Pro (primarily a 303 emulator, but you can bet 101 type sounds from it). If you want to get your hands on an original, they often go for under £200 on ebay, in pretty good condition. |

I had a Spectrum too. Grew up playing the 48k .... those little rubber keys, the loading screen, the white noise!!! Then moved on to the Atari ST etc etc. |

i've got a circuit bent Casio SK-1, with MIDI IN modification ;) cost me a pretty penny i'll you! I wish there was a vesion of Vaz Modular for Mac OS X :( I liked that for peecee |

I had the 48k for years... only computer (as opposed to a console) I had till the mid 90s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Me too. I think we used the 48k for about 4 years. Then I got a 128k that got busted and so we bought another. Then I got a Atari 520st. Then I got a C64 (don't know why except the games were cheaper and more colourful). Then I got a Sega Megadrive and finally I got a NEO-GEO!!! |

my computer history: Atari 2600jr (i think its the jr, the one that was black anyways) Acorn Electron Nintendo GameBoy Sega MegaDrive Nintendo SuperNES Laptop - 486DX2 50MHz Full Size Server Tower - 166MHz Pentium MMX (overclocked to 200MHz) Atari 1040STe (only breifly) Apple Macintosh Powerbook 1400cs Nintendo GameBoy Advance Apple Macintosh iBook not many consoles there, but that's because i believe that PC and Mac based architecture is better than consoles for gaming ;) |

Yes, I've always had a soft spot for Vaz. Such a shame the vst implementation was shoddy and that the 2010 version was so poor. |

i had used a really old version of vaz, from years ago, and then i discovered Vaz Modular i really liked that, it sounds very good if they make a version for Mac, i'll definately use it! there is a poject under way called Darwine, which is a port of WINE for UNIX/Linux basically it will allow Mac users to run Windows apps nativley on Mac OS X, without the need to emulate an intel chip if this comes out, the first thing i'm gonna try installing is Vaz Modular ;) |

YAY!!...Just got home & it was waiting for me...Boxed with manual; I think I got mine in about 1986 when they first came out, shit!! nearly 20yrs ago!!!, and spending ages trying to get loops going etc.... And from those articles about mods & the like, it sounds right up my street...might even get into making some tunes again (it's been far far far too long...years in fact..).. |
