Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Finallly after years and years

http://uesama.blog.so-net.ne.jp/blog/_images/blog/_21d/uesama/7684595.jpg

I ruined some tracks by pressing a weird key change button and now everything is false doh
maybe I should read the manual

Are there any users of that thing here that know what that can be?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

hm, a qy700.. i like the serious looking buttons and switches. no led's underneath..

probably a future classic.. or in car-terms, a youngtimer.. big_smile

are they so hard to find, or were you just not looking very hard?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

does it have leds that follow the 16 steps?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

no its not a groovebox-type sequencer, I just record everything real time like on the QY700 and RM1X

The weirdest thing is that it doesn't have a dedicated sound for the metronome you need to program that yourself from the XG synth engine inside else it will use a piano(!) as the preset metronome. But now I made a decent metronome "patch" using 2 laser sounds from the drumkit

are they so hard to find, or were you just not looking very hard?

I wasn't looking very hard ; )

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I think they are hard to find. I recently searched the synthforum for it and in the past 3 years only 3 went up for sale, including this one.
It does look extremely nice, I'm looking forward to see and ear it in action.

Korg Polysix   $20   !!!

As far as I can tell, the only problem with the Polysix is the key contacts need to be cleaned.  I just opened it up and it appears that someone already did the battery replacement procedure.  Score!

well, i spoke a little too soon.  i've had luck cleaning the key contacts up and getting them to work, but the patch memory seems to be screwed.  it has presets currently in the memory and allows you to save patches, but then when you go back to them they are different.  i'll have to just think of it as a randomize function, and even without patch storage it's still a nice sounding synth.

water and dry vacuum cleaner.
Today I came home and I had the surprise in the heating machine room... flooded with two cm of water (the discharge
pipe was blocked).
Luckily the son of my neighbour works in a heating systems company (albeit not the one that makes my machine),
so he could solve the issue on the spot...

and a couple of pictures now that more or less I am finished with the plain water (it will take weeks before it is completely dry!):

i was in a music shop about 4-5 months ago and saw 4 of them piled up, $150 a pop.

worship the potentiometer.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

a Zoom studio 1204. Pretty nice for such a budget machine.

Yeah. It's fun to use. Maybe one day we can have a Kaossilator-based jam. Live via IFM or something.

Do it your way, because everyone else is just weird.

Thats what I thought too first but I actually think this might be one of the most revolutionary things in synthland since the DX7...or something. Not the sound but its a completely new way of controlling and making music that really works somehow.

Don't be fooled by all the youtube movies were they play trance presets wink

It sucks ofcourse there isn't that much sounds in it and the measure memory is kind of short but yeah for the price its more then working fine for me.

I hope Korg keeps up with this and releases a bigger one with a programmable synth inside it. Or does that  already exist...i dunno

It's just a real nice jam machine. An instrument by itself. Feels like playing an instrument instead of programming a computer: that's what I really like about it

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I also like that you can layer unlimited over the sounds with any sound you want from the machine, ofcourse its just re-sampling but it works. Just recorded this little tryout straight into the computer from the thing http://www.moosleybay.com/macau2.mp3

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

still sounds like legowelt  smile

so can you only add layers, or is there a way to remove earlier loops?  and, are the sounds decent?
