worship the potentiometer.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Urban Outfitters have them for 28$ here, probably less in the states.

I bought one, it was fun, for the first 20 minutes at least...

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

haha, yeah, i kind of figured adding some stomp boxes would extend that 20 minutes a bit... they also have a stylophone beatbox but it looks like it isn't available until september.

congrats on the mobius purchase to btw! we use ours all the time, it's a great little machine.

worship the potentiometer.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Thanks, I really like the Mobius, I have a feeling it'll survive my terrible low attention span when it comes to gear.

That stylophone beatbox sounds horrible no?  Didn't they put like scratching sounds and like "hit it" samples?

Did he have one of the new ones? because I have an old one and the new ones sound really digital and harsh.. like its a 4 bit sample waveform or somthing.. neutral

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I just bought a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Rac Pac, it's a little beat but everything works except for the 1st channel fader.
It needs a little cleaning but it should be ok for what I need.

I completely changed my setup recently and sold many synths keeping only 2, and 1 drum machine and 2 effects, so this should be perfect.  For 125$ canadian, what do you think?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

that sounds like a pretty good deal..

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Seems like a good deal to me, especially since there's a $200 price tag on the front right corner.  Nice work.  smile

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I've got a Rac-pac, bought it new for 600 pounds many years ago.  Mine has white fader caps on the channels and red and yellow on the groups/master faders.

I really like it, it packs a lot into a small space.  Only 14 main input channels but with the returns etc you can get 28.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

It seemed like a good match for my setup, but I'm a total noob with mixers.

I took a chance that the fader will be easy to repair, it does look like some fader and knob caps were changed, not that it really matters.

Some fake nuts on some inputs are broken but the contact is still fine.


I told the guy I wasn't going to take it, he asked if wanted to make a counter-offer, I offered 125$ and he said yes right away, I should have offered less!  It's a shitty shop in a shitty part of town, I think It was pretty much the day's total sales.

Well I finally have a mixer, so I won't have uncle Ruud shake his head on my next cockpit pic wink

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Hi!

My name is JB and I'm a synthaholic.

I sold more than half my synths recently and swore to not buy any more, I can resist Korgs, Yamahas, Rolands, but not Moogs, not even cheapo radio Shack Moogs!

Got it this morning for 280$ CAD, it's dirty and has missing caps but everything works!

Yeah it's funny. There have been a flood lately on Ebay. I'd buy one locally if it showed up but I'm always weary of shipping keys. Especially old keys.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

dirty can be cleaned and caps can be replaced.. one of those for 280 CDN is a good deal.. thats 180 euro or 1525 SEK for you..

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

How aesopian of you BMX wink

Well indeed this little synth will have a makeover, there's two different kits on eBay, caps and caps+sliders.

I'll probably change the rca jacks for 1/4" ones, maybe route the input to the filter instead of just the mix out.

yeah it was a new one, i kind of dig the 4 bit sound to it though i'd be curious to hear what the old ones sound like..

@tony cops, nice deal on that realistic!! those things go for upwards of 500-800 in the US, I remember seeing them for about 300 and kick myself for not getting one then.
