Congrats Plikes!  I had a 1st gen. Solina, it didn't have a trigger and gate out, and it was mono, I think the 2nd gen added gate/triggeer interface, 3rd was stereo and 4th just lighter, can anyone confirm?

I sold mine to David Sardy and I can swear I heard it on Zombieland smile

I later bought an Omni II and that CAN be heard on Arcade Fire's The Suburbs.

I always wanted to compare the two side by side, they're supposed to sound very similar.

I always thought they sounded very similar. i got into a conversation with mark burgess from the chameleons once and asked him about the synth they used on Script of the Bridge and he said it was a Solina, we tried to find one on ebay but no luck so we ended up getting an Omni II.

We have a second omni2  in sorta-bad shape, some funky stuff going on with the release, but we're thinking about selling it.

@mule driver, we use a 12-string emulator stomp box, less complicated, way more robot. smile

btw, i love those photos of mono and his suitcase of noise!

worship the potentiometer.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I kind of regret selling the Omni.

They're not that hard to repair, but it takes time to replace tantalum caps and ic's.  Now that I have a good tech I'd go for one again if I could find one at a reasonable price. They are indeed built like tanks, think sheet metal all over.

I liked the omni better, because you could do a bassline from a JD song with the last notes on the bass sound. smile  It looks nicer too smile

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Got the CR-8000 in the mail today. A lot of fun, and I do love its clap. Not sure how badly I need it already having an 808 but for the price I paid I am very pleased.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

It's a nice machine, I had one for years and sold it when I got the 808.  Are the claps identical, I never compared them.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

No, they're not identical which is why I really like it. The CR-8000s seems thinner, more mettallic and though it's probably the sequencer's doing it seems stiffer to me. I programmed a bunch of beats and will probably keep it. It's like a ghetto version of an 808 and I can get with it. Especially since it will sync up nicely with my 808, 707, Kawai R100 and modular.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

currently being built, ready in a few weeks

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I like the cr8000 clap very much, its more noisey and softer than a 808 or 909.. it doesnt have that same crackling sound but a bit more like a drumsynth.. hard to describe but they arent indentical..

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

@no-fi
what?!!?!? you sold a Taurus II for a mono evolver? Sorry mate but I wouldn't have done it....

the only question I have is: why? Why? WHY?!?!?!?!?

I'm joking, but I would have never done it tongue I know it is not the MkI, but still... if you filtered it through a serious chain
of preamps and effects you could boost it a lot...

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

ibanez dm-1100 delay - not really new but just now plugged into the mixer after a while from gettin this off of a friends dad that used to play guitar with it. it's pretty neat i like it and its only effects i have beside my kp mini.  smile

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Taurus II is one of the less interesting moog nachines.
It's "just" a Rogue without keys.

Impulse purchase :

I'm pretty confident it's an easy fix, and my tech will probably change a few thing while he's in there.  I long for a quiet stereo spring reverb...

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I liked the taurusII, and I kinda miss it.... but I have better synths, and it wasn't my only moog.

As for the MEK, well, I had one of the 2nd batch of original evolver desktops, and I liked everything about it, except the programming interface. I sold it a few years ago with the plan to get an MEK someday, it just took longer than I thought. And I'm loving having an evolver again.This thing is exactly what I wanted for all those years I was struggling to use the old desktop model. it's a really cool and unique synth with all the features and things it can do. And with a decent collection of knobs to control it, it's just great fun.

unfortunately I do have about 3 not so great encoders to deal with, and I really need to do something about those blue LEDs, they're killing me. I think they need to turn orange. So I'll be in there doing some work on the front panel sometime soon. (But then again I spent a couple of hours in the taurus II cleaning out foam goo when I got that, too...)
