marf Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 He's taking all the fun out of stalking I'll give him that. I barely even read his messages on Soundcloud, but he mentions he has the first synthi A mk1 or early edition, but this pic shows a presto patch which is CLEARLY an mkII edition. http://images.equipboard.com/uploads/source/image/5104/o1fGByB.jpg?v=1401828538 There, I feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieAddison Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I would have never suspected that the guy who owns three Korg PS-3300's would own more than one of the same type of synth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he owns most every Synthi, especially since he loves the EMS sound so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunyip Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Some of the early Synthis had a prestopatch. Probably not the first one though! Perhaps it was upgraded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marf Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 mk1's didn't have presto patches. I dunno about his finances. but he got really rich post drukqs. He couldn't afford the ps-3300 in the 90's then all of a sudden he's a millionaire. He didn't play that many shows post 2000 did he? Never put out albums other than aliases. It makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Come to Daddy? Windowlicker? 26MFC? Licensing/royalties? Owning a label? Nice bits of income there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodorsbn Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Come to Daddy? Windowlicker? 26MFC? Licensing/royalties? Owning a label? Nice bits of income there. That's all late-90's, early 00's, and he's said himself the label barely made money. Do we know for certain when the pic in question was taken? My feeling is mid-90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Strike Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He commands quite a hefty fee for one off shows, that's gotta be helpful. Plus licensing has got to be big too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I could be waaaay off in my remembering of history but I seem to remember reading that analogue synths really fell out of favour in the late 80s/early 90s where musicians were embracing the newfangled digital era. As a result the price of analogue gear crashed for a few years as no one wanted that weird bulky stuff that went out of tune and only had one note polyphony etc ....

The low point was 1989, that's when the popularity of Acid House made people realise the lushness of analog synths again. http://www.synthgear.com/2010/synthesizers/vintage-synth-prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 My theory has been that because they were so cheap they fell into the hands of those that couldn't afford all the digital stuff (bar an Atari ST) and thus inadvertently brought the analogueness back into the dance world again that was previously only used by the prog/psych/kraut rock types of the 70s/early 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I have a hunch he made most of his money from the piano tracks off drukqs, but yeah, gear in the early 90's, especially the analog stuff was dirt cheap. I traded a kurzweil k2000 for a jupiter-8, 606 and ms-20 to a guy in LA . I sent all that good analog shit back to him cause the K2000 didnt have the sampling card. Regrets? Ive had a few. This was 93. synthis were going for about 2k You can see on the AH forum in the early 90's a buchla easel for sale for $500. They went up to 30k in the mid 2000's The internet changed everything.
