Re: Newbie... Just joined up...

2004-10-12 by ask and eye just might tell you...

I don't have a pic, but I do have one of Bob Moog from the same 
show.. hehe.. Bob was MUCH nicer to meet.  Pleasant and personable.  
God I wish I had his Voyager synth (don't quite have 3 grand lyin 
around, ya know?)...

Thanks for the offer, I do plan on keepin' the M1000 for a bit 
longer, just tryin to get the most out of it.  Without being able to 
tweak params, it's just not as fun as even my crappy ol' radio-shack 
moog MG-1 or my Roland Juno-106.  I tried using sound diver to tweak 
the M1000 and it's ok... just not as nice as being able to assign say 
the mod wheel to control filter cutoff etc.  I seem to remember there 
might be a way to do it, just never got far enough into it.  
Truthfully, it's been a while since I even fired up the ol' M1000, I 
just moved into a new place and I am still gettin my new PC up and 
running... soon, very soon...

I just joined a bunch of these groups to see if I can get my rig back 
up to speed.  I joined the Roland JD-990 group, Yamaha FS1R, Peavey 
Spectrum and this one.  I have a ton of gear because of my stint at a 
music store selling the stuff.  It gave me G.A.S. (Gear Aquisition 
Syndrome) and as a result, my room is full of fun stuff.  Now... If I 
just had the time to use it all!!!

haha.
