  1. You can't go wrong with Genelecs. I own two pairs of them myself.
  2. 1 not telling 2 no 3 sorry? Jacobean from Mask 500: http://www.discogs.com/Various-MASK-500/release/19800
  3. 1) How did you do that great repeating delay feedback sound in Drane where is sounds like the delay time is being changed a lot? 2) LP5 sounds really clean and crisp (for want of a better word) compared to anything that came before it, was this your first major move to Max/MSP and away from outboard synths / effects? 3) Who is Jacobean?
  4. Ah you finally got one, welcome to the club. I'll show you the secret handshake later.
  5. "Synthi 100 even though its not meant to be polyphonic but hook one up to a midi cv box with a poly mode and you will fall in love"
  6. What you've done is just use a gross exaggeration to defend your point. 99.99999% of the world's population will will lose the formula 1 no matter how good a driver they are, so your point is pointless. My point is that people are free to buy whatever level of stuff they want, not need, and suggesting they have to be successful before they spend a more than little amount of cash on something decent is backwards thinking and kind of smacks of jealousy towards somebody who can afford something you can't.
  7. So if you buy good equipment but are not successful you are cheating? Do I also have to be a successful race car driver to buy a nice car? Do I have to be a world class chef to buy a nice piece of meat?

  9. Okay, not to brag or anything but I recorded a video of the Fenix II in action a while ago, I thought some people on this forum might be interested given the obvious Fenix / AFX connection. Three oscillators through the formant filter in this example, which I believe is one of its most unique sounds:
  10. Ouch! I was 13th overall in the queue (three people per group, I was the first in group five) and I only joined in 2009, so you must have been pretty near the front. I'm sure he'll be able to sort yours out though. I'm still trying to get my head around all the options of the sequencer. It's pretty complicated, and not helped by the slightly confusing manual. It's actually three separate sequencers in one, you can have them all running at the same time, or clock them all differently, or somehow patch it so when it gets to the end of the first one it'll start the second one, thus making a 48 step sequencer. The synth itself also has its own 8 step sequencer by the way, so you won't be totally sequencer-less.
  11. Group 5. Are you getting one too?
  12. let's 'ave some numbers to back that up This is off-topic but probably of interest to some people who read these forums. Anyway, I read a really good post on some forum recently by an employee from Dave Smith Instruments and one of his points was "MIDI is generally prioritized much lower than the realtime Audio functions, both at a DAW level and an OS level (specifically USB class compliant drivers are prioritized less than asynchronous streams) so the timing probably won't improve too much until that is addressed" The first version of Cubase released in 1989 or whenever, which ran on the Atari ST, was purely a midi sequencer. When you ran it on the ST then pretty much the entire machine's resources were given over to the midi sequencing, and the midi port used was the ST's built in midi port, physically connected directly to the bus of the motherboard, so there was no additional layers of protocols or USB drivers or Firewire drivers or the like to mess with the timing. I'm not saying that USB and Firewire devices will always give worse midi timing results than the Atari ST, but there's more room for error in the USB/Firewire midi sequencing world than there was with the Atari ST.
  13. The sample of the women saying "Yeah" in Ubformby is from the film "The Man Who Fell To Earth" starring David Bowie. The samples are from about 29mins in, a scene which is not safe for work.
  14. The 101 has a sequencer too.
  15. Ramses: When I started off trying to make music years ago I first bought a Motu 828 MKII which I still own. However nowadays when I want to record something analogue into the computer I use the inputs in Kyma as it's A/D converter is about a billion times better. Then I just send the digital signal to the Motu via spdif and then into the computer via firewire. (bit overly complicated actually, I just need to get a new better interface, but don't really need one at the moment). Hahhathhat: The Genoqs is great. Tricky to get your mind around at first but after a bit of practice your hands start flying around it without thinking (like playing an instrument). I work with computers during my day job so try to avoid using the computer when making music (only to record it at the end if I come up with something good). Pera: Yes pretty much all of my dreams are in there too, except I'd like an ARP 2600. Despite having all this stuff I'm not rich by the way, I'm just probably a bit older than most of you (mid 30s) and have been working a full time 9-5 Mon-Fri job since I was 21. The key is to not get married and have kids, they're even more expensive than synths! (also I live in Berlin right now so don't own or need a car, they're expensive too)

  17. I own a first generation Machinedrum (without the sampling feature). I used to use it quite a bit but ever since I got an 808 it's been gathering dust in the corner.
