Should I buy... (Page 38 of 87)

Yamaha TX-7 for $75....anyone have any experience with this guy?

TX-7 is okay, soundwise it's really exactly like a DX-7. But you need either a DX-7 or a software DX editor to use it. Some settings can be changed from the front, but non are sound parameters. Filled with some (user-) presets it's a good companion for hooking up to your (live-) sequencer or for layering sounds with a 2nd DX. As for me, in the studio I hardly ever used it, editing it was too much hassle for me. I got rid of mine cause I had no need for it, I already had 2 DX's, one of which I also hardly ever use.
I reckon the price is fine, here in Holland they go for around 75 euro.

He is asking for

1275

which SID chip does it have? I think that it is probably too much, maybe if it came with a monitor and a floppy drive...
you can get C64s here on flea markets for peanuts. you can buy enough till you find one with good chip. and MSSIAH costs 50eur (75$) brand new.

If it comes with MSSIAH and everything looks and works properly and you're not paying for shipping that's not the worst deal in the world.

Try $100. Maybe settle for $140-$150.

way to expensive if you ask me
here is a link to dutch synthforum where a c64 with mssiahwas sold for 40 euros only weeks ago

Is the eminent T250 any good? Or even better, is it anything like the eminent 310 Unique?

hey guys, should i bid on this? i don't know shit about synths...

dont do it...

that drumbox has got no MIDI (that midiport on it is only dinsync for syncing) and the synth is a very basic DCO thing....if you really need that specific Korg Poly61 sound maybe, but otherwise get something more modern hehe

Vintage isnt all that good as the hype tells, it sounds okay ofc, but handling/progging/voice counts etc are so mediocre on those old things... (not to mention you wont have fresh keys and knobs, but sticky, skippy and just not new feel to it)

And the real good vintage synths arent affordable anyways nowadys...(like beginning from 2000 orso)
The rest is easily replaceable by modern stuff...really

Perhaps looks at at BLofeld, DSI Tetra or stuff like that..just a suggestion.

Those cheap DCo synths are nice as a complementation in a large studio, where there are more workhorses around, but as the only or 2nd synth or so , I wouldnt advise it.

EDIT:

And yeah: its way overpriced

cool, thanks for the advice!
Maybe i'll look at some modern gear after all. i'm just after something to mess around with, without spending too much.

i may take you up on that
