Oh right, and this SSL clone built by some guy who used to work for SSL and DBX apparently.. Its quite smashing!

Do you know if it has any mods? Eg. Crush'n'blend, Turbo, SuperSideChain, etc?

I've had the boards to build the GSSL for 5 damn years now but I'm finally starting to build the ultimate version of it:

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I need another percussion synth like a hole in the head but there was a really good deal on a Jomox MBrane 11 on Muff's. Been wanting to try one out.

That's what they all say wink

well I have to be very careful... when I was in eurorack chassis buying mode last year, I managed to buy 4 3u racks and 1 6u rack.... might move on the extra racks now before i'm tempted to put in power supplies and make them usable.

ha! typical! just as I'm finally wrapping up my cobbled together GSSL, a nice easy and complete version comes along.

I had it in a hand done rack for a while, but no extra bits added.... I had a super sidechain and a turbo board but hadn't hooked either up because it was too much faffing about.

Then I bought a purusha case which is designed for the ssc board, so I'm in the process of rewiring (and replacing a bunch of controls that didn't fit in the new front panel cutouts) into the new chassis with the SSC board today. looks so much nicer... and I'm so close to finally have it finished! front panel controls are all wired up, just the XLRs and the inter-wiring between boards to go.

But damn, that new version looks so much less annoying to put together than the original GSSL.

next up is the Nite EQ3D whose boards I've had for 3 years sad

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2356/img3915uw7.jpg

what are they meant to be like, anyway? someone is selling a fully built up one like in your picture for $300 near where I live.. I'm kinda tempted, because I'm looking at going mixerless in the future and will want a bunch of EQs if I do that..

I'm also in the middle of building a 1084 EQ with a friend, which is fun cause it's kind of a race, and means that you both do regular work on it cause you have someone to check up on you... We're just waiting on caps from TAW and the cases. I expect that I'll be all done on this within a few days of the last bits arriving.

The skeletons in my DIY closet are the PM 670 (got all the bits but stalled for a few years after building the PCBs up because I didn't have a decent case to build it into - and you can't really test the parts in isolation - you need to wire it all up to test it. But that has changed now I got the purusha case for it when i got my GSSL one) this is next cab off the rank after the 1084.
I also have had 4 S800 EQ boards for a few years that I finally bought the components for while I was buying bits for the 1084.. (but still not sure what I'll do for a case when I build them all up... purusha has cases, but he sells them with PCBs as well, and I don't want more PCBs..)

wow.. that's quite the example of a glowing review!
and this is a 100% clone?

I don't know about the air band though... guess I'll have to hear it for myself.

I think I might have to get a bit serious about buying this rack if no-one else has beaten me to it....as much as I could do with saving $$ right now.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

The air-band is so loved that people had been cloning just that part of the circuit tongue

The clone is pretty damn close to the original... here's the original thread if you feel like eating popcorn and wading through 37 pages of diy-banter:

aaargh. no thanks, that's the one thing I can't stand about prodigy pro - those million post threads... does my head in.  smile someone really needs to move information for a project into a wiki once it starts getting to the 3rd page

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Just got my Juno 6 back with the mungo midi fitted.  Now I can sequence it rather than just arpeggios or playing by hand.  I needed to enter the keyboard offset using sysex and it was a bit hit and miss but it's working now.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Ah another London based tech... Can never have enough. Would you recommend him Koova? Reasonably priced?

No new stuff for me for a while sadly though I did nearly get a Synthi AKS for a very reasonable price. Was owned by some music teacher who got given it by her old school, they didn't know what to do with it, was in a cupboard with a load of trumpets!

Went round, showed here how it works, tested it (fully working), had a chat etc. Didn't bring cash as it was a slightly dodgy area, agreed to meet her the next day and by then some fucker had phoned her up and told her it was worth much more. What a bastard.

She was going to be getting a very decent price for it (around half the top going rate on ebay) considering she got it for free anyway...

Since then I've rather lost my appetite for gear hunting. Though tbh, I've got more than enough to be getting along with.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

His prices are very reasonable and he's based in east London about 10 minutes from my office.  He's also  a really nice bloke.

The Juno works fine over midi but the transpose key now works differently when the arpeggiator is running.  It's probably something to do with the  mungo kit as the more you search around on the net the more problems you seem to find with it.

He's fitting the analogue solutions midi kit to my KR55 at the moment so I'll let you know how it goes.

Shame about the Synthi.  I'd love the chance to have a play on one of those.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

hmm, im still looking for a gssl to buy, especially already built..i have so many projects here that i know i wont be building this for the next few years.. but this looks tempting..

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Another synth I needed like a hole in the head. A Korg 770. Mint as hell from back in the day with dust cover for 600 CAD.

It's not a great deal but I'd been thinking of a 700s for awhile and this way don't have to bother with shipping and customs.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Cool, that would be great thanks Koova. Actually, do you reckon you could give me his contact details? Yeah, guess you have to be quick with these things. It was pretty amazing to play with. Super organic, kind of like it had a mind of its own. Ah well.

She should really get the going rate though, which for a fully working EMS Synthi AKS would be at least 5500 Euro. I wouldn't consider the guy telling her the truth about the price to have done anything wrong. If somebody came on here selling a fully working TR808 for 400 Euro I think it'd be fair to let them know they normally go for at least double that.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Well if she got it free and was happy to sell it for 2500 Euro what's the problem?

Pm'd you with his details. He also fixed Meschi's MFB and DIY's most of his own modular stuff

Nice module, I like using it with a sequential switch to step through the divisions.   I'd like to try the breakout panel but there' no room left in my rack.
