Re: What new booty have you acquired?

The JX-10 and PG800 have officially lifted off. Already making lots of warm weirdness. Love it even though it's the most boring looking synth in the world. It seriously makes a poly 800 as exciting as an ARP2600 by visual comparison.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

That looks pretty cool. I got a BOSS RCL-10 coming in the mail.. should be similar.

also went for a Behringer CC300 chorus pedal.. supposed to be a clone of the Boss DC-2 which itself is said to be a scaled down version of the famous Dimension D.  guess you can't go wrong for $30

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I have the reverb from that series, the RRV-10, and it's great wink, the CL-50 apparently sports the same chips as DBX compressors of the same time/range... sweet...

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

has it got sidechain?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I can see a detector in on the back of the CL-50 in an image I found via google.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

yeah, heard allot of mp3 samples on the net, impressive specs. 3 lfo's, 3osc, 75 sampled waves, analogue filters, just a dirty machine smile

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I don't get the whole fuss around the Prophet 08. Sounds like crap to my ears. For that kind of money you can get a Jupiter 6 that s#+ts all over it. That is IMHO. Sorry to rain on your parade Victor, but anyway tastes do differ so maybe I am missing something about the Prophet 08 that everybody else hears in it. Enlighten me...

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

well,the presets aren

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Cool Victor !
And what a spectacular price !
You like drones right ? You just bought the drone-meister !
Take ( for instance ) preset 16 bank A, don't even play any notes but just open the VCA Level
and then maybe route some LFO's to something .:)

@ automa: nobody can make you like the sound of a synth with arguments,
   but have you checked out the 4 LFO's , 4 sequencers and all the places you can send them to ?
   And have you really sat down with the machine for a few hours ?
   I mean the sound might not tickle your G-spot, but 'sounds like crap ' ??

I think the Jupiter 6 is a very "static" synthesizer compared to the Prophet 08 from what I heard and played.
What kind of sounds do you like/make with the Jupiter 6 or make a little bit more in depth analysis where it is better then prophet 08? I am very curious about that, I had a jupiter 6 for a few months but I didn't have the chance to play it that much...to me it sounded static compared to (even a) JX10 (but that is mainly because of the keyboard action) and ofcourse the big 8.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

yeah Pauli, today i am not going to sleep,will try it. wink

I did give it a good try and I appreciate all the features (like the LFOs and the sequencer) but bottom line is
i don't like the sound of it's OSC. I find the Polyevolver much more interesting because of the digital waveforms you can add to it, it's a more unique sounding synth i find. But I also wouldn't get an Evolver. When it comes to modern synths I prefer Clavia's NordLeads as they have a very strong own character (i know a lot of people dislike that character) without trying to be something they are not. But hey, I'd be the first one to eat my word if someone plays me a sound i like that turns out to be a Prophet 8 patch. As I said: I didn't want to rain on Victor's parade, just sharing opinions.
And the price you paid is indeed a good one.

As we are sharing new booty here's my latest additions to the studio:
Roland SH2 - arrived safely. unit from Japan, like new. i couldn't believe the mint state of it. as i love
my SH09 I'd been wanting to try how it is to have a second OSC to work with. wicked.

Roland SH7 - on the way by post. I tried one at Frankfurt Musikmesse this year (at the synthmuseum booth)
and loved it very much.

and an Ibanez IMG2010 Midi Guitar Controller (with MC1 Interface) - still sitting at customs

I guess my favourite features on the JP6 where the cross modulation (for metallic sounding stuff) and the wide function on the pitchbend (for crazy over the top pitchbend stuff). I managed to make some pretty weird acid-ey sounds with it that i haven't pulled out of any other synth (only the FM on the Nordleads gave me a similar buzz). I agree that it has a tendency to sound static but i always liked the way it cuts through even in a dense mix. I'd also agree it doesn't have the balls of a JP8, that's why i sold mine and will be saving up for the big brother.

here's an example of JP6 sounds. stabs, bass and the weird noisey sounds in the middle section are made with it.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

actually the 6 and 8 are totally different machines, you can't really even compare them. the 8 is like a hummer or a caddillac: pretty limited in what it does, but it does that extremely well. the 6 is more like a surgical tool: a lot more possibilities, but you have to know what you're doing to get something interesting out of it. also if you have the europa upgrade can make a big difference.

i can agree with automa here, a synth can have 10.000 features but if its basic sound is not to your liking, it doesn't matter. i had that with the roland v-synth.. incredible possibilities, crap basic sound.

and tell some more about that second oscillator on the sh2.. i've always wondered if it was worth it to upgrade to 09 to a 2..

when you use the sub OSC and both OSC you can get three octaves to play simultanously. I love it. also you can exclude OSC 1 from the pitchbend which gives you very cool playing options. otherwise the sound is very similar to the SH09. being a longtime fan of the 09 imho the upgrade was worth it. another neat feature is the wide/narrow switch regarding the tuning of the 2nd OSC. you get a nice detuning behaviour from it. only little downer was that they omitted the external input slider (in favor of the OSC 2 level). you still have an ext in but no mixing options other than determining how much you send in.
