Anyone use/want this synth? I do. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I could do with one I think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want a Synthi 100, but i guess i could settle for a VCS3 ;) i am actually seriously considering getting a modular/semi-modular system. just wish i had a lottery win. man i'd have to buy a fucking house to store all the shit i'd buy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To be honest, I want any fucking synth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want one |
||||||||

EMS were too good for their own good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Quiet you. You're not helping :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want the aks. I don't think the ems synths were used much in the Dr. Who show. It was mostly osc generators. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and tape effects |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this would obviously be the shit... just because they are such a well built, respected synth... god damn... can you still order them? EMS' website hasn't been updated since 1998!!! COME ON YOU SLAGS!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i want EMS Synthi AKS model, and it's one of the few things that i really want and i'll never have it. just look those knobs, those little patch-pins or what-are-they...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even better, this one somebody took at american university |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, aparently though you contact them, and they will build it for you custom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if the newer synthi's sound different than the older ones. I bet they do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brilliant alternative to patch cables. |
||||||||

used one, mkII (borrowed from my friend - he also has keyboard - dk2)... best synth I had <--------- :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In spite of the fact the build quality is shite, it's possible to cut yourself on the screws that stick through the case and the sound isn't amazing, I have always fancied one of as a suitcase synth. Also has a pin matrix rather than patch cables. Impossible to justify, considering you could get an Andromeda for that money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fucking nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well... i guess i will have to contact them... i don't mean to be greedy but i've seen this synth in action, when Meat Beat Manifesto played in chicago... and i love the sound. custom built... do you know of any modifications, that are recommended? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What I mean by custom build is they build them when you place an order. That is what I heard tho, it could be a totally different story in actuality. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
WANTS ONE and an Arp 2600 for the dream set up! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I might be getting an andromeda. Its a tossup between me getting a nord lead 3, something else and not being broke, or an andromeda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Andromeda > Nord Lead shitloads |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So your saying I should get an andromeda? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just don't want to be paying 300 dollars a month for the next year just to have one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck it. Getting a nord. You are the devil futureimage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh.. the luxuries of the nord mod g2 :) taxi... i suggest the nord!! go all out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much do old synthu aks's go for? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. Originally, I was going to get the G2, but then I started looking at the money I could save if I get the rackmount nord lead 3, and I remember trying it once and falling in love instantly, and thinking, I don't know if I want to edit it on a computer, and thinking "with the money I can save, I can get a: better mixer. tube compressor. spring reverb. tape delay. less debt." and then I sold myself on the nord lead 3. Not sure if I want rack or keyboard, only $150 difference, so its more "space vs better keyboard" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FUCK YEAH. THE NORD IS SHIT. SERIOUSLY. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get something that might go up in value. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dude, you have a microkorg and a whole bunch of electribes. I can't take advice from you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love my Nord Lead 2x....kinda wish i'd have splashed out on the Lead 3 with the endless rotaries and stuff, but it's great nonetheless i am seriously considering getting a Nord Modular G2 though....i really wanna get into modular synths, and i think the G2 would give me a lot of flexibility but i think i should shut up and master the stuff i already have first! lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because I don't have as much money as you!!!! I've spoken to a LOT of people who have the Nord and thought it was a bad decision. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't have that much money. Everybody I have talked to online and off have said that nords were great purchases. Specifically the nord lead 3's and modular g2's There were some problems with the earlier nords. The new ones are pure quality' Its still analogue modelling. If you think you are getting a real analogue sound, then look elsewhere. Thats what I have come to hear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i neeed about 3 grand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want a 909 an 808 an old rare sampler a korg stage echo and a tascam 388. Maybe more than 3 grand actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what kind of old rare sampler? one of the original emu samplers will cost you about 1500 and the akai mpc3000 will cost you 3200. However, you can get a prophet 2000 for around $200, and its got an eight bit sampler and synthesis capabilities too. An akai s900 or 950 are cheap too (100-250). The 909 and 808 together should run you about 2200-2600. Thats a lot of money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, going on the basis of my Ion, the Andromeda should sound much more analogue than all the nords old and new that I've tried. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats because the andromeda is analogue. I am not looking for analogue per se. I am looking for a nord lead 3. (the ion is just modeling too. I can get the same sounds out of my evolver, that I have heard.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know, I wish there were more ananlogue drum machones, but the 808 and 909 can't be beat. I already have the 606. Not to mention all those machines are beautiful to look at. I want an old prophet 3000. Which also costs about a grand. I already have an sh-5 and an mks-80/mpg-80 |
||||||||

You can acquire all you want. Just takes time and money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The Dr Who sounds are incredible. I think most of the sounds were from old test generators. Not from a synthi. I just need to get some old test oscillators and feed them into the sh-5. Not sure how the oscillators sound on the sh-5 as I need to pick it up still. I hope it has an old 70's sound. |

JoMoX is pretty well known for making analogue drum machines. Their xBase and AirBase drum machines, all analogue circuitry, except for the cymbals, which are 8 bit samples (similar to the 909) run through analogue filters. They all range for around $1000. They also have a bass drum machine, which is only good for bass drums, but it runs about $400. All analogue fatness, a la the 808. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, ok. I guess it's your decision at the end of the day, but I still think the Andromeda has a larger range of sounds than the Nord. I want more cheap drum machines!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

If I could afford the $300/month payments for financing, I would get it. I almost did, but my good judgement rang in. Annoying thing, that good judgement. I have started a savings account. All my spare money is going to be dedicated to getting me an andromeda in six months time and I am even considering quiting smoking. Seriously. The mpc2000, the andromeda and the nord lead three are the three pieces of gear that inspired me to start buying gear in the first place, and I am kind of set on the last two (I have an mpc1k, which in my books is just as good, just a little cheaper and space conservative than the 2k). I just don't make enough money to get them all at once :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I hate the sound of the xbase. I want to like it really bad. But it sounds too muddy to me. I like the sound of the 909 and or 808 way better. They sparkle more. |
||||||||

|
you must be referring to the Travel BattleShip game that EMS gracially threw into the unit for those extra long car-rides. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Have you tried an xbase? or are you going off of site samples. Usually, the example mp3's are made without any additional processing. All analogue stuff usually needs a little bit of compression and filtering and eqing and mastering to sound great... |
