Transoniq Hacker Magazine

Transoniq Hacker Magazine

2013-10-21 by Clayton Lewis

Hi all

I was cleaning out my storage unit and came across a handful of Transoniq Hacker mags. Issues 110 - 133 (think i'm missing 131 and 132)

All in pretty good shape. I've written a couple notes here and there… but nothing unsightly.

Also have an Ensoniq SD-1 that I've been carrying around since 90-91. Still works great. Got a handful of extra sounds for it. (voice crystal, syntaur, etc)

Anyone interested in them?

Ok ….. as I remember the Transsinic Hacker was aimed at the AR-10. I have all my issues somewhere … I 'm positive you got floppies with sounds too.

So it's not much help with a SD-1 type of keyboard .

Good info to gather tho

yeah at the time I also had a TS12 I was carrying around. So it was good info to have. Fun to go back and glance through those articles. :)

Although I never received any floppies.

Maybe I was too late for the TH but can I ask Alan or whoever gets them: can u please scan them? You can say whatever you want about me but my main plan was to scan them and put them online. Every issue I have come across, I have done that. I have spent a lot of my own money to buy Ensoniq documentation and get it online. Whoever wants proof of this, please join my ensoniqsampler group on yahoo and you will see.

You can also see my name on buchty.net as a contributor to the archive.

Btw, Eric Schlesinger has given his approval for this (just to avoid anyone still holding on to that old rag)

That's all, thanks.

Great, al, so I'm not sure what he's asking but i'd be happy to share some of the cost and scanning duties. I actually hate scanning them but that's besides the point. Once u start its kind of addicting. I am not a very good keeper of documents because I move a lot and stuff gets destroyed so I don't care about the physical issues, just getting good quality scans and not taking for ever with it. Let me know how we should proceed.

 If anyone else has copies that are not in buchty's archive, let me know.

I'm scanning #111 as we speak… if the quality is good enough then I don't mind doing the rest for the good of the archive. :)

Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Transoniq Hacker Magazine

It just gives you a good feeling. When I "fell in on Ensoniq" for the first time it was nice to see all the work that had been done prior. Examples? All the sounds that are available on the yahoo sq2 group, all the time put into sorting out the fizmo regulator issues, all the manuals for the Asr-10, eps-16 and Asr-x that were free. And of course who could forget Rainer? With his emulation software and TH archive and schematics. So it feels nice when you can add something back to the community. I was reading somebody's master or doctrinal thesis from the 80s or 90s I found online and it was talking about how great the Ensoniq community was, mentions TH specifically and how most companies should encourage the same type of religious following. Kind of sucks I wasn't around in the day, but then again so many problems and issues have been solved, it's like wishing I was around during cholera! Also, I wonder why my synths and samplers don't (knock on wood) exhibit some of the same problems that you hear people talking about in "the interface" and I realized "it's evolution". Survival of the fittest. All of the crap has been filtered out, thrown away or parted out, so only the strong survive!  

On a slightly separate note, Does anyone get excited for any of the keyboards made by Roland or korg today or nord? (I don't mean like volca series or ms-20 mini) I find it hard to get excited about anything coming out today. I guess moog has some stuff I wouldn't kick out of bed, but it doesn't inspire the same kind of fervor you see when reading articles like in TH when the guy is practically have an orgasm talking about the mr rack!

Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Transoniq Hacker Magazine

2013-10-22 by Clayton Lewis

Been a big fan on Ensoniq since I first discovered the VFX while living in Germany in 89. I felt that Ensoniq had something special. Being an Apple user since '85 it had a similar feel of uniqueness. And the Ensoniq community felt just like Mac users. :) (sorry if you're a PC user)

Anyhow..I don't get overly excited about too many keyboards today. I did buy a Nord Electo 4d recently because i liked the organ and piano sounds and I use that board on stage with my band. But as for Korg and Roland and the others… just not interested. I'm more into software and controllers these days.

But i recently retired my SD-1 that I had been using on stage. The poor girl couldn't take the road any longer. So she sits in my studio now. I fired her up and start sequencing just like the old days. :)

All in pretty good shape. I've written a couple notes here and there… but nothing unsightly.

Also have an Ensoniq SD-1 that I've been carrying around since 90-91. Still works great. Got a handful of extra sounds for it. (voice crystal, syntaur, etc)

Anyone interested in them?

Re: Transoniq Hacker Magazine

2013-10-22 by musicwithharry

I remember my first encounter with Ensoniq and it was the VFX-SD.  I was blown away.  It was actually my friend's keyboard but he let me take it home and I used it for a year and a half.  I was totally in love with it.  The 'In-Concert" patch blew me away.  I wrote a whole album on that one keyboard.

He moved away with his wife and kids and they took the VFX-Sd with them and I spent another 10 years wanting one.  I probably bought about 20 boards trying to replace the sound of that one.  I bought an Ensoniq SQ2/32 and it was close, but not totally the VFX-Sd so I kept adding stuff to make the sound until 2003 when I found one at a pawn shop for $499 and I talked the guy down to $249.  I slapped a new floppy drive in it, made the keyboard fix and I had a VFX-Sd again.  I also bought another one from a guy in Georgia I think and that is the one I still have.

The only other boards that I've been crazy about like the VFX-Sd are the Korg OASYS and Technics PR270.  These are the only boards about of the 50 that I've owned that I have gotten excited about.  I like the others, but there is something about the VFX-SD that makes you want to write music.  It is very sentimental to me.  They are still great keyboards, no matter what else new comes out.  It would be neat to see another Ensoniq have that type of feeling, but with their being gone forever, we will never know.

Grace, 
Harry

I would be most interested in any digital copies of the Transoniq Hacker Mag you might post.

I remember my first encounter with Ensoniq and it was the VFX-SD.  I was blown away.  It was actually my friend's keyboard but he let me take it home and I used it for a year and a half.  I was totally in love with it.  The 'In-Concert" patch blew me away.  I wrote a whole album on that one keyboard.

He moved away with his wife and kids and they took the VFX-Sd with them and I spent another 10 years wanting one.  I probably bought about 20 boards trying to replace the sound of that one.  I bought an Ensoniq SQ2/32 and it was close, but not totally the VFX-Sd so I kept adding stuff to make the sound until 2003 when I found one at a pawn shop for $499 and I talked the guy down to $249.  I slapped a new floppy drive in it, made the keyboard fix and I had a VFX-Sd again.  I also bought another one from a guy in Georgia I think and that is the one I still have.

The only other boards that I've been crazy about like the VFX-Sd are the Korg OASYS and Technics PR270.  These are the only boards about of the 50 that I've owned that I have gotten excited about.  I like the others, but there is something about the VFX-SD that makes you want to write music.  It is very sentimental to me.  They are still great keyboards, no matter what else new comes out.  It would be neat to see another Ensoniq have that type of feeling, but with their being gone forever, we will never know.

I remember my first encounter with Ensoniq and it was the VFX-SD. I was blown away. It was actually my friend's keyboard but he let me take it home and I used it for a year and a half. I was totally in love with it. The 'In-Concert" patch blew me away. I wrote a whole album on that one keyboard.

He moved away with his wife and kids and they took the VFX-Sd with them and I spent another 10 years wanting one. I probably bought about 20 boards trying to replace the sound of that one. I bought an Ensoniq SQ2/32 and it was close, but not totally the VFX-Sd so I kept adding stuff to make the sound until 2003 when I found one at a pawn shop for $499 and I talked the guy down to $249. I slapped a new floppy drive in it, made the keyboard fix and I had a VFX-Sd again. I also bought another one from a guy in Georgia I think and that is the one I still have.

The only other boards that I've been crazy about like the VFX-Sd are the Korg OASYS and Technics PR270. These are the only boards about of the 50 that I've owned that I have gotten excited about. I like the others, but there is something about the VFX-SD that makes you want to write music. It is very sentimental to me. They are still great keyboards, no matter what else new comes out. It would be neat to see another Ensoniq have that type of feeling, but with their being gone forever, we will never know.

Also, I wonder why my synths and samplers don't (knock on wood) exhibit some of the same problems that you hear people talking about in "the interface" and I realized "it's evolution". Survival of the fittest. All of the crap has been filtered out, thrown away or parted out, so only the strong survive!

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
