Off topic Korg Kaossilator 2 and Minimoog

2013-05-20 by Mark Pring

Just back from Wellington where I bought a Korg Kaossilator 2, anybody else on the list use one of these? In many ways it's a toy but it being so small, battery powered and able to record it's great for just messing about with in odd free moments.

Went into the Malthouse ( my favourite Wellington bar ) early Sunday evening to find a Rhodes piano with a Minimoog sitting on top of it. You probably have to live in New Zealand to realise how unlikely that is. Unfortunately the gig had finished but I had a nice chat with the keyboard player who was quite interested in mellotrons.

He used a Vox Continental and Kalamazoo orgen, not Farfisa.  Sorry, also heard yet it is a hoax.

It is hard to watch one by one , these rock pioneers fall away. I think the story goes that Ray originally played a vox continental but it was an italian model. These had plastic keys that were glued to metal shafts, unlike the wooden British keys , and they broke off. The italian vox also has a reedier sound, a little closer to a farfisa. He replaced the vox with the Gibson later on.

Re: [newmellotrongroup] RIP Ray Manzarek

2013-05-21 by Chris Dale

Yes, it was a Vox Continental and a Fender Rhodes piano bass that he used.

He went through several Vox Continental organs.

The one he used on recordings was likely an American version with germanium transistors instead of the other British style ones.
The American Vox has a more brittle sound than the British model or the Italian model, and was made in Sepulveda, California - his own backyard essentially.

The British and American Voxes had wooden keys and one hole for affixing the chrome stand it sat on. The Italian ones had plastic keys and two holes to affix the stand. You can see photos showing this detail.

This is how you can tell the types of Voxes he used.

It is hard to watch one by one , these rock pioneers fall away. I think the story goes that Ray originally played a vox continental but it was an italian model. These had plastic keys that were glued to metal shafts, unlike the wooden British keys , and they broke off. The italian vox also has a reedier sound, a little closer to a farfisa. He replaced the vox with the Gibson later on.

Perhaps it was the odor of classified growth French sox.

Very sad to hear about Mr Manzarek's passing. He was always a  major 
inspiration to me as a player and from what I can gather he was a  very smart and 
pleasant guy.   


RIP Ray.


Love and Scones.


Wallis.

I'm going to let as many of you die before me as possible. That way  when I 
finally kick the bucket, no matter where I end up, at least some  of you 
will be there and I'll have at least a few people who'll know  what I'm 
talking about.

It is hard to watch  one by one , these rock pioneers fall away. I think 
the story  goes that Ray originally played a vox continental but it was an  
italian model. These had plastic keys that were glued to metal  shafts, unlike 
the wooden  British keys , and they broke off. The italian vox  also has a 
reedier sound, a little closer to a farfisa. He  replaced the vox with the 
Gibson later on.

Looks like the news is directed towards this bout  with cancer.  I never 
heard anything and didn't even know  he was sick.  Sad, he has always been an 
amazing  influence.

I like the sound of the vox as well. I think he is dead  though.

He used a Vox Continental and Kalamazoo orgen, not  Farfisa.  Sorry, also 
heard yet it is a hoax.

Sorry to hear of his death. I liked his playing and  the Farfisa sound.

My wife hated the chessy farfisa sound - but I loved  the studio work - he 
was great with that Doors  mysterioso sound........
