SV: [elektron] first synth tips

2001-02-21 by Mads Bredager

it looks like most of all you guys (no women??? he he) don't think i should
buy the ss as my first electronic music device. but why... like i said: "i'm
a newbie". i don't understand the difference between monophonic and
pylophonic. (though i think it's got something to do with the number of
voices).

is it rude to ask you to explain for me what the cool thing about the ss is
and the not so cool? and why i should buy an roland sh-101, novation bass
station or korg EA-1 instead (except for the price - i figured that out
myself).

cheers!

Emne: [elektron] first synth tips


  the sid ststion is not only monophonic, it's three voice poly/mono. also, 
i think someone said it had one midi channel...not true...it has 1-16.
  and although i think korg's ER-1 is the coolest drum machine to come out 
in a long time, for any price and any expercience level, i thing the EA-1 
synth sounds like crap.

  get an older analogue mono synth like a roland sh-101, novation bass 
station, roland juno-60, a bunch of old korg stuff, ect. ect.



peace, ksg
