Ya know... I have hesitated to bring this up. For one thing, I'm not convinced that this is a direction you are interested in, and also, the cost may exceed what you're willing to go for.... but- In my quest for my primary keyboard/synth/midi production center/sampler, etc. and s

SID chips are still pretty easy to come by and I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 for one. 30 million commodore 64 computers out there looking for some love. buy one for maybe $10-20 and use it as a SID tester. oddly enough, i have a tougher time finding 8580 chips than 6

Since you plan on putting together a 3 voice .com rig anyway the questions are: A) Would 3 note chords satisfy you? B) Would not having any patch memory be OK for your pad machine? Even VERY minimally set up you could do pads with a poly MIDI interface, 3 VCOs, VCF, VCA, EG by ju
2008-05-28 by Scott Deyo
As far as modulars, I wouldn't do it for _pads_. There are a million old and new synths that will do it a lot less painfully and less expensively. For a minimal four-voice pad, you'd need 8 VCOs, 4 VCFs, 8 VCADSRs (if you wanted to be able to tweak the patch live at least), 4 VCA

how could i forget the PEK? actually, i have no experience with it at all, but i've really wanted to check one out. i'm also really interested in the LL electronics rozzbox. andromeda seems like the one for the pads. i will own a prophet 08... eventually. it doesn't have a broad

Good luck in your decision. The Andromeda sounds and seems fantastic, the other two you mentioned a little less so (to me). I hope you find something you love, and can live with for a long time - I've had my roland jd-800 since they came out with it, and it's been my main keyboar
2008-05-27 by Bernie
OK, I'll mention the PEK. I have one and I really like both the analog and digital sounds. It's a very versatile instrument, but it has some drawbacks: The rotary encoders turn infinitely in any direction, even after they reach their maximum or minimum amount. Several have gone b
2008-05-27 by Ross Totino
Sorry for the obvious suggestion, but if you can try out the synths you're interested in personally. Listening, tweaking one in person will certainly help you decide. I have an Andromeda, and I sometimes wonder why I own anything else. It's features and sounds are pretty massive,

The SE is very cool (high geekness factor in a good way) but is very high priced. I would rather build another sequencer row in the dotcom or for that price I could also chain 3 prophet08 rack's for 24voice. Noone has mentioned the PEK,( I really only wanted one of those evolver
2008-05-27 by Erik Ribeiro
kind of depends on what you are going for, or at least how modular/semi modular. i love studio electronics. but the omega price is steep. at least you can build it 2 voice in the large case and add voices later. the filter options are awesome. i wish they would offer some of the

The Studio Electronics Omega can be had 2, 4, 6, or 8 all analog voices. Plus, you can add 303 and/or 2600 clone filters to those voices individually as you see fit. (Start with the 2 voice and add 2 more as needed etc.) The polydac on the ASM2 is available standalone and can do

Hello Richard, the inputs have Schmitt trigger. So there is not really an "undefined" range on a module, but there a is difference whether a signal changes from LOW to HIGH or viceversa (like on every Schmitt trigger). If you use signals like "Tri" or "Sine", there a two levels w

No. AS has been voiced countless times in the past, the issue with many of us is not the drawn out time, but the lack of realistic expectations being set. One normally doesn’t expect to shell out 50% or 100% and then wait as long as we wait. I have sent at least three emails over
