Re: Synthamasizers
I’d hoon one if I had any grasp on how to drive a piano. Mellotron is love.

Re: Synthamasizers
I have a master midi keyboard and many many vsti plugins. but its much more fun when I use this...
When I get another Headrush FRFR it means I can run both synth and guitar rig in stereo ( I can anyway with my PA or studio monitors but not 'live' )

Re: Synthamasizers
I have a Alesis Micron. Stupid fustrating thing to program, but really cool analog modelling synth. Would love to use it more, need to fit it in to the cover band more.

If you do get that Yamaha, you need to spend your evenings writing Stranger Things inspired theme tunes.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Synthamasizers
In the past I've had a rack of Roland modules, Oberheims, Prophets etc etc. All the old analogue kit is expensive nowadays and rarely to be seen here. Most of the current offerings being primarily digital I'd just grab an Arturia Vintage collection and decent mother keyboard. Arturia in fact offer a couple of keyboards with an accompanying software package containing sounds selected from the collection ( editable ) at pretty decent prices.

Re: Synthamasizers
At seeing the mention Of Oberheim above makes me smile. My son in his Doors mode with a Jansen 1967 transistor organ and a little short keyboard controller plugged into a Oberheim piano module doing bass note duty. Was quite Manzerek.

There's worlds of soundscape to explore with Native Instrument software, some free.

I like the song, but I'm not crazy about the vocals. Not looking down on your vocals, mine are even more shit.Frey wrote:Made a synth tune,

Check this out. It's a little synth tune I came up with.
Have you ever thought of going through a vocoder? I think it'd be cool as with robot vocals talking about friends and being on someone's side.

Re: Synthamasizers
I’m a real fan of the Roland ROMplers, just sold my JV-1080 to move to an XP-80 (workstation keyboard with a JV-1080 in it). The expansion boards are getting pricey now but luckily I already have the two most collectable ones from back when they were about $50.
Also making a start on building my own modular synth setup for some analog goodness on the cheap (if you don’t value time).
I have a Novation Circuit for jamming out on the couch.
