Re: [Mellotronists] K1r

2006-03-27 by jonesalley

I got mine after I fell in love with the K-5, and absolute monster of an 
additive-synthesis machine.  Had one of the very first K1m models, the 
"desktop" version, then I lost it and all of my other gear by smoke damage 
while I was married, replaced it with a K1-II, the keyboard model with the 
simple reverb built in.  I just sold it last year for next to nothing, 
cleaning house of gear I didn't use any more.  I wish I had known you liked 
them, it was my first platform for trying to emulate Mellotrons with serious 
custom programming on sample-playback synths and I had probably twenty 
programs and multis built that were pretty good that I wiped off the unit 
when I sold it.  They were not on the level of what I can do with my little 
Korgs now, but they were good, and used properly were stand-ins for "that 
sound" quite respectably.  Oh well...
