Hi, thanks for the help re. the tkb. the plan at the moment is to get my Mini-moog modified (give c/v gate, lots more int mod routings - combination of pro-one & cs-30) [was going to sell it, but borrowed money instead], and then next will be a TKB. the panel with the quantiser a

> so I can use it with the > Fenix. Very much so! The TKB works brilliantly with the Fenix. I think Marc P. used a TKB to test each Fenix BTW. Of course it will perform fine with any banana synth and well with other synths give or take the odd ground issue. CW

I'm joining this a little late, hello John by the way - your CD is in the post. What I'd like to know about the TKB is how does it perform with other modular synths. I use a Fenix, along with a TH48 sequencer. I'm getting my Mini-Moog modified soon by Tony at Oakley Sound to have

There's a practical limit on pitch follower accuracy.... it has to figure out what the fundamental frequency is, and in the presence of harmonics, esp. dynamic harmonics that becomes a real problem. I don't know if the digital pitch trackers have some exotic algorithm that does a

Any data.. or vague suspicions on frequency rolloff throughout the STS system? PCO & NTO deliver up to 100 KHz, but which of the audio mixers/ VCAs/ processors/ ringmod/ FRS/ WAD (tightest VC BBD delay I know of), or even dividers/ (Schmitt) comparators/ BLOG, can handle this (ho

Attachments : I thought that Vince Clark actually had Robert Doerschaks old Buchla System 200 (if I remember correctly). He had a front cover article some year's back for Keyboard Magazine (U.S.). This studio is very interesting, the most spaceship looking that I have ever seen.

For those who don't yet know this pic... http://vangogh.cs.tcd.ie/scollins/vincest.html What the text calls a Buchla is obviously a four-panel Serge. The sequencer description is true I think, Clarke has never used MIDI. Most impressive to me is the centralized intersystem patchi

In the latest edition of Sound On Sound (UK magazine) there is an interesting article about the Roland SPV 355 Pitch to Voltage Synthesizer. It occurred to me that this type of unit has fallen by the wayside since the 70's. Does anyone offer one? (A module with banana connectors

After much discussion it appears af though Rex is going to stick with the Davies knobs even though he's really pissed by their attitude and the fact that he has to go thru about a hundred of these things just to get about 10 or 15 good ones. The new black knobs were great but jus

I must say that I think the TKB is an incredible interactive sequencer. It is very easy to use the touch plates to control the starting point, direction, etc. The pressure voltage is also fun to work with too. There are a few things that I haven't figured out how to do on the TKB

Just received the black knob sample. It's pretty cool. It does have a white indent like the Davies. It's a lot easier to see. It is somwhat smaller than what we're used to so the overall effect will be of having a little more room to manouver (sp?) forgive my spelling please. So
