customized synths (Page 1 of 7)

ah, these guys are making a business out of customizing/restoring  synths

that pink 101 is bananas

that black and orange juno6 looks beautiful!

I was expecting a more obnoxious pink for the 101, though....

oh man...geargasm

hm, actually i don't like most of these.. i prefer the original layouts. i'd get tired of the bright colours soon, they look too much like todays plastic synths. the pro one looks decent, but thats not too hard to make if you use overlays. any decent woodmaker can make the wooden parts.

one super mod i do like is the alesis aurora, where kris rhen took the front panel of an alesis andromeda and put it up, like the old roland or the korg ms series:

easier to read and access everything, very cool mod!

its one synth i actually wouldn't buy because of its looks and layout. i also find it very confusing interface-wise.. thats one machine that can actually do too much..

Ive heard that the A6 is very buggy, is that true?.. Or mayebe it has been fixed?

edit: aurora mod makes it look ALMOST cool

@BMX
as Dez can confirm (and another person who had the A6 for 3 months then sold it away) Alesis has totally dumped
the support for that synth. Too bad, on paper was something like a behemot of a machine, but the actual product is
one of the worse products I have ever seen... Maybe not that worse, but using advanced functions can really bring
crashes, mistunings, jumping LFOs and a big headache and the will to sell it on the first place.

I thank everyday that I decided to go for the G2X instead of the A6...

steak: ok, thanks!

tony: i guess you just keep the old parts.. It cant be too hard to reassemble? Or is it invasive?

well then Dez you are a lucky robot I'm happy for you
