What new booty have you acquired? (Page 17 of 189)

Interfaced via USB. As far as quality goes well I have not got a lot to compare it to at the moment. I do like the tape delays and chorus, modulator efx etc. The reverbs are not good i think but that is not why i bought it. Pretty easy to demo line6 delays and judge for yourself and it should be as good as dl-4 if not better because no d/a conversion really i bought this unit for the tape delay only so all this is a huge bonus. The compressor seems quite good also but i really dont know about such things and its quite limited. Throwing those cabinet simulations on an 808 really does some cool things. Im not sure on the amount of channel available but i seem to at least get 2. There seems to be one strange thing that i can select pre-amps like neive simulation and SSL etc but they dont seem to work yet- but i never had those on my xt anyway. All up yes the volume of stuff you get to use makes it very worthwhile and you can chain them all together. Certainly be nice to get those preamps working.

I was thinking about selling my xt  as i couldnt be bothered interfacing it with my mixerless set up but now it is going to be essential core studio tool.

it looks like someone is doing a DIY board run of the SDS-3 voice... when they eventually get it together, I'll be ordering 5 voices.. (if you're doing one or two, may as well do 5...)

Just scooped a Korg DW-6000 for $40 ... why not?

nice one, keep me posted about the results.. maybe we can do a audio-test when your finished and compare the DiY-project with the original.. (And dont forget to add the run-generator and lfo, they are essential!)

I rather keep those out and have cv inputs so i can patch my own stuff into them for modulation

So true.
But with cv everyone is able to choose his own modulator.
I am really happy the sds3 cloning started.
I've been bugging around for that for a while.

I think the run generator is more like a sample n hold.

a roland d-10 with a stand and some cables for 40 euro. I quite like it. Bit 'cold' sounding, but in a good way. There seems to be a problem with it though, i get scrambled patch names and the memory doesn't work. I tried changing the battery, but to no avail. Anyone has a clue?

It works a little bit like an apreggio, the triggered notes change in pitch and with the 'run time' you can adjust the lenght of the looped appreggio.. Each channel has an 'effect range' pot that controls the amount of the LFO and 'run-generator'.. (I believe the 'bend-level' controls if the loop/apreggio pitches 'up' or 'down', but I'm not sure)..

the SDS400 and SDS800 also have run-generators with even more functions (loop up / down and random, treshold, step-time)

SDS3:

Bought a Drumtraks 400 with a broken off "metronome volume"  knob off Ebay for $150. Finally got here. Tons of fun. Had its rhythm bank full. I feel like Jimmy Edgar. Everything else works perfectly and used tweezers for the metronome volume which sounded fine.

How the hell the metal knob got shorn clear off without bending the circuit of fing up the rest of the machine I'll never know.

Got my Linndrum today and it is amazing. Almost mint condition. It needs eproms restored so I have bought a Topwin Eprom programmer. Now the fun starts! Need to reflash kick,clap and congas, pretty important stuff really. I think might need new eproms for some flashing as my device supports am2732dc but not 2732ajl-25. Anyone else up on chip flashing for linndrum? I'm looking for a cheap source of chips.

Hey Tony reading that those bulgarian ones which i'm seeing as available to ship to AU don't seem to be imported by any programming devices I've found. The x pin ball ones do look good though but I'm not seeing any of those on ebay which will ship to me. Here is the list of ones my device supports:

I will keep you posted on my progress. I suppose i will wait to get the programmer and see how it goes with at least the am2732dc i have in there. I find it criminal the person replaced my clap with a snare chip.

me vainly posing with linndrum...haha i had to show it was actually here!
