Should I buy... (Page 70 of 87)

Has anyone seen this before?

A Clavia Nord Modular Rack version, the original, not the G2 for 300?

The guy selling that is also selling a sherman filter bank for 275.

What is the current price for a Nord Lead 2? Should I go for one if less than 300eur? Somewhat beaten up but working.

Thanks for the response, ZeHa. How would you describe the sound of Nord? I only once had a VA synth, Roland SH-201, and that one went out pretty fast. Good MIDI implementation is a big plus for me, and I don't have even one synth which has got name labeling for the patches, so that's of apsolutely no importance to me.

Glad that I could help. Well, the sound is hard to describe, but I like it. It doesn't sound really analog, but it doesn't sound really digital either, it's more like "it sounds like a Nord" It's pretty clean sounding, but still fat in my opinion, and I especially like the raw sawtooth and pulse sounds. Often I just select a wave form and add a little release and jam around with that dry sound.

After I bought it, I made a little song that was entirely created on the Nord, but I can't find it right now. Maybe I can provide you with a link this evening if you're interested.

EDIT: I think the bassline of "Space Invaders are smoking Grass" is made with a Nord lead (though I'd say that there are better synths for bass usage than the Nord Lead), and I think I can hear the Nord Lead's sound in many of Mr. Pauli's tracks (though I'm not sure).

anyone ever worked on Soundtrack mixers?

i suppose to see it this evening, but as far as i understood few faders are noisy and need some clean. i'll post more details later today.

an 8000 is a pretty serious board.. how many channels? 1800 sounds about right for something 24+ channels..

does it include the patchbay?

for 24 channels its a bit expensive, but it also depends on the condition..  i'd say if it has a built in patchbay, works 100% and maybe restored, its okay. no patchbay, cracking pots and faders and has been standing in a wet storage shed, then no way..

good about the patchbay. you mean no subgroup modules? the manual is a little confusing, but i think it has a version of the floating subgroup system famous on other d&r's where you can turn each channel into a subgroup. cracly pots are to be expected and are no problem..
the cables.. well, you can see if he will sell them without. or in this condition, offer him like 1500..

it does have a very trident-like eq though..

It'll do the job. I have the microkorg which has the same sound engine but had a MS2000 briefly ages ago. The patches suck. so find out the short cut to init patch and then go fishing for sounds with all the knobs.

Sweet thanks I'll drop in! I got a message from a girlfriend in London who said her MS2000 is collecting dust at her folks place in WA so sounds like she might sell to me, I'll see how much she wants for it. Means I'll probably be able to afford some other equipment too...otherwise I'm looking at this also http://www.awave.com.au/product_info.ph … ts_id=4036
I need to be able to use it on the fly in rehearsals so portability, keyboard, and good patches would help (damn marco) and my budget is a grand (oz)
