mono evolver keyboard pot edition upgrade kit!

it went in nice and easy, and I like the synth even more with pots on most of the parameters.

now, to replace those damn blue leds with something not so retina destroying and this thing will be perfect....


Ow do they have the PE kit for the MEK now also?? Good news, I might get a MEK someday then... I sold my PEK a while ago coz it was too big and I didnt need all the voices + sequencer

The Evolver engine is pretty awesome IMO

Impulse buy, an Akai Mpc 60mkII. Really enjoying the sound. Unfortunately no SCSI board and it looks like the Floppy is dead too. But hey ho nothing we cant fix..

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Yep. I rang up and he said it was all working. Got there and the dd was buggered. Has been his loft for nigh on 10 years so I offered £250. Nice compromise.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Nice score! I was thinking about going for that as well. Glad I didn't as otherwise it might have upped the price for you. I'm sure the dd is easily fixable. I did use to have a mpc 60 mk1 actually. Sold it before I got really into it and when I though the Linndrum II was still a reality. hmm

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Found out the problem with the DD. Looks like his son used it as a piggybank big_smile . Found a penny piece in the DD. Still not working, so I have ordered an old Amiga DD. That should be a straight swap. then when I have some extra pocket money I will get the Scsi upgrade from Roger Linn and get a card reader installed.

yeah, upgrade kit is US$170 then a bunch of new knobs is another US$70, and 3 day shipping to me was about another $80.. not too bad. you don't need to buy the new knobs, but the old ones are pretty hokey and if you're replacing both the panel PCBs and all the stuff on them, you way as well get the nice knobs too...

Also brand new PE versions of the MEK are available from dave smith instruments now. they should start filtyering out everywhere else soon enough.

The Evolver engine is pretty awesome IMO

you wouldn't want an evolver as your only synth, but it does some cool stuff that nothing else comes near.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Lexicon PCM 81.  The "Thunder" patch on drums is instant Basic Channel.  I had a 4/4 beat going and was just sitting there tripping out for about 30 minutes.

Is it just me or does anyone else occassionally hypnotise themselves with beats/riffs?  I tend do it with the modular quite a bit.  I get a noodle going and it's almost like being on the edge of sleep.

Or maybe I'm just sending myself to sleep with boring patches.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Happens to me too Koova.  Sometimes I catch myself zoning out to a loop or texture (and sometimes I don't and then I wonder where the last 15 minutes went).

Classy score BTW.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I've been looking at getting a good Lexicon for a while.  I wasn't going to get one as I've already got an Alex which is pretty crap but I'm glad I did.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Nice Koova!

Yes I get entranced by arpeggios and drum patterns very often.  I also love creating complex arpeggios run through reverb and echo,then have that play in the apartment for hours.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I just bought my very first synth!

Got myself an Oberheim OB-12.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/OB12_synth.jpg

Been playing around with the presets (well the ones the previous owner made/left). Beasty.

Honey, in the morning the bees are singing and the birds are stinging in an open head surgery.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

@klart
just out of curiosity, where did you pick your OB-12 from? and what about the price?
I am asking because I'd like to get one too but I am not really convinced by the local (.ch) prices...

I got mine from a Belgian second hand site, I picked it up, so I had no shipping costs. I payed 460 Euro. The display has some issues (the light flickers a bit sometimes, though I can read everything, so I don't care), apparently a lot of OB-12s have this problem. Otherwise it's in excellent state.
