Could anyone that has bought a SFX-60 comment on it. Like what are you using
to replace the joystick, how do you like using it with a separate
controller, do you have regrets about not getting the keyboard version etc..
Just looking for some experiences working with it. I would like the SFX-6
but I might go the 60 route to save some money. And those who have bought
the 6, in your opinion is it worth the cost to have the joystick and
keyboard integrated, and how do the keys feel, I read somewhere online they
are a little cheap feeling.

Thanks,

Hey Andy,

I bought an SFX-6 in June/July last year, when the first 100 were  
offered.  I recently sold the unit to purchase an SFX-60.

I *really* liked the keys on the SFX-6.  Actually, in a perfect world,  
I'd have kept the SFX-6 without hesitation... Perfect world being one  
where the SFX-6 had aftertouch.  This is the only reason I sold the  
SFX-6, no aftertouch.  I realize that the Monomachine itself doesn't  
know what aftertouch is, but I only want one keyboard synth in my  
studio if I can help it, for space considerations, and this keyboard  
needs to be versatile in controlling anything else in the studio...  
Many of my other synths support aftertouch, and I like to play  
expressively, so... it had to go.

If aftertouch is not important to you, and you could use another  
keyboard, the SFX-6 is just fine.

As for replacing the joystick, I see midi joysticks on ebay often for  
beans.  Also, it's not a nightmare to build your own midi joystick  
either (which is what I did, took about 2 hours and cost maybe $25 in  
parts).

The thing I would miss most without the keyboard is the LEDs above the 
keyboard.  I love this feature, it makes seeing your programmed 
note-values much easier.

I do wish the keyboard was detachable, and I was planning on trying to 
split it off, but I haven't had the time to look into it seriously.

Yea what you did makes sense, it doesn¹t seem like it would make a good
master keyboard for everything in a studio. Space for it is the one thing
that¹s not an issue for me in my studio area and I use my Virus KC which has
awesome feeling keys + after touch as my main controller.

Cool that¹s good to know! It would be interesting to get a SFX-60 and piece
together my own keyboard/joystick version.

i got the sfx60 and i dont regret it.
i use either the joystick on my microkontrol or a combination of the timetrip pad and d-
beam on my v-synth to control it.
especially the combi of the sfx with microkontrol and md make one hell of a compact 
musicmachine.
i can really recommend the sfx and never misssed the keyboard of the sfx6 sofar

Yea I thought the microkontrol would maybe be a good fit. It's even similar
to the mono color wise :) I'm glad to see you recommend it. Can you set it
up with the SFX-60 exactly as if it was the keyboard and joystick of the 60,
by that I mean your not missing any features. When I read the SoS review
they said "For the SFX60 module, the joystick mapping is fixed at incoming
controllers 1 and 2 (for joystick up and down) and pitch bend for left and
right motions ‹ as seen on synths such as the Korg Triton" So that would
make the microkontrol joystick perfect right?

yeah-the joystick on the micro is pitchbend from left to right and up and d=
own is 
assignable-no problem to use it as a replacement for the elektron one.

Hmmm this decisions just got harder/easier I would actually gain more hands
on control over the mono with the microKontrol, I could asign all though
neat sliders and knobs and such, and I could use it for other things, like
logic. And I would save $300. If you don't mind another question, do you
like the mini keys?

andy,

once you start talking about buying the tabletop + the microKontrol 
you're approaching the price of the keyboard MnM.  I just sold a 
microkorg, and if the keys are anything like it they are not "bad" but 
not "good."  I suspect they are identical.

It is true, however, that the microkontrol does offer a lot in the line 
of other controls.  As decisions go, however, noting that Damon 
mentioned selling his MnM  -  I bought it with the idea that, well, if 
I have the keyboard version I can experiment with using the keyboard 
and without using it.  Should I not feel the keyboard earns its keep, 
the keyboard version can be resold to get a tabletop.  My interest in 
the keyboard, as mentioned in another post, is the usefulness of the 
LED feedback above the notes.  I also think the whole things looks very 
stylish, and I live for style and image.  (ha.. ok I don't but it does 
look cool in one long box)...

in my case, though, I am more interested in the hardcase discussion 
because I'm going to try to get the thing (and a MD) on a plane with me 
to israel.

Has anyone had much experience travelling in and out of Israel with 
electronic gear?  Coming through with a guitar as a carry on would not 
be hard, but I'm worried that they won't recognize what it is and 
somehow I will be slapped with some heavy VAT even if I am going to 
take it right back out with me once I'm done with school.  Wonder if 
one of those rifle cases would keep the joystick happy...man i wish 
that was able to be removed.  I'm not going to sit in another country 
for two years without any gear though.  software has limitations and 
makes me twitch.

Yours,
Chris

Be sure you can turn the stuff on (bring the right plugs, converters) so you
can show them what it is. Phone your travel agency to ask about this. They
will know what you have to do.

Bring a copy (or original) of Elektron's invoices. At least ask for
information at a customs office or chamber of commerce. Some countries make
problems if you don't follow their rules. Sometimes you need some special
forms for this kind of stuff.

I will definitely do that.  At the least I will need to get some 
converters, but I think I am going to buy a UK wall-wart for the MD 
which should work there.  I'll swap out the fuse on the MD before 
taking off.  I don't know if I'll have a "travel agency" though, just 
getting one way tickets there.

Well, since both the devices are second hand I will likely not have the 
Elektron invoices ... I will email my sellers about that though.  I am 
going to call the Israeli consulate and find out the scoop on things.  
I'm betting they will have special forms, but according to their 
website any musical instruments that come over either as carry-ons or 
checked baggage should be free from VAT.  Proving that they are musical 
instruments probably won't be hard even if they aren't plugged in.  the 
MnM is pretty obvious, and the machine drum looks just like it. the 
only other thing i am going to bring is a motu 828mk2 which has an 
awful lot of audio jacks ... it will, at the least, be an adventure.  I 
will see if I can get the consulate to pre-approve the items or give me 
direction to where that can be done.

luckily, the people on the Israeli customs end ought to be able to 
speak English substantially better than they did in Argentina when I 
was there last summer.  They didn't even stop my laptop though.

ugh I don't have original invoices for my powerbook either.  adventure 
or trouble, it will be something..

FOr what it's worth, I checked out the MnM yesterday at West LA music in (ahem) los 
angeles and I think the keys are terrible.  In my opinion the keys on my edirol pcr 30 
are much better.  YMMV.   Also, from what I've heard the microkontrols keys are 
different from the microkorgs, but I have not compared them personally.

to say the truth-the keys on the microkontrol suck big time because they are way to small 
for any serious playing but they are definetly good enough to put in notes into the MnM 
sequencer.
I bought it mainly to use it in hotel rooms. Nothing else comes close in terms of features 
vs size.
in the studio i merge the outputs of my V-synth with the micro so i can combine the 
controls and pads of the micro with the big keys of the V-synth.

cant use them to play piano but they are ok to find basslines and melodies =
and put them 
into the MnM sequencer.
They are terrible for chords because they are too small but then again no c=
hords in the 
MnM!

I don't think you'll be slapped unless you had more than one unit. 
Then it would be obvious that you'd be importing for resale.  I doubt
you'd get any trouble.  I bought a ms2000 in Japan and brought it to
Korea.  Korea has very tough duties and controls.  The guy asked me if
I wanted to declare it.  I said no, he said have a nice day.  I guess
I just lost out on the only in Japan warranty.

Take it with you.  It shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use
FedEx.
