Members whurly Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 I just picked up a Yamaha YC-20 combo organ today. It's got great Vox and Farfisa sounds and can even get a bit Hammondish with the percussion tab. It's hard to get the combo sound from anything other than the real thing. The grunt of the transistors is quite primal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xpander Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 it's been too long so i finally upgraded to Max 5/MSP/Jitter and am studying a lot to rebuild my skillz; i can't believe i haven't used this is so long. funny enough, i saved a lot of money by buying this from B&H/New York who in turn has cycling '74 ship directly (they're local up in SF).

Members whurly Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Oh, and it may not technically qualify as gear but I ordered the wood kit and rack ears for my Slim Phatty - to rack or not to rack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 the colour reminds me of a girl who hurt me rather strongly, so i think i want to repaint it PPG Blue, like it should have been to begin with. also it needs keybed repair. the overall frame broke its plastic studs. thanks, Fatar! it sounds incredible. after i figured out how to initialise a sound i was making wavecomputer sounds in no time!

Aside from the color, what's even uglier is that "XT". It looks as if a child was messing with paint on it. I would paint over that too:) I'm going to remove the keybed of the DSS-1 too and try to figure out if it can be dampened [using felt or something]. It is very loud. "ugly" and "beautiful" are both subjective of course. Just my personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Congrats, Suit! Welcome to the XTk Klub! ALL of the plastic studs broke off?? I don't see any other damage, how can that be? Better yet, how do you plan to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like its made mainly for sequencing and manipulation, but I figured I'd ask.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sad Darwin Posted February 2, 2011 Members Share Posted February 2, 2011 Crap...... this really just made me want one. The off timing polyrhythm aesthetic you can get is sort of awesome. [video=youtube;DPJXeJVOagc] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LameAim Posted February 2, 2011 Members Share Posted February 2, 2011 ^^^^ Yeah, that's one of the clips that pushed me over the edge. I'm of the opinion that the earlier clips and demos did something of a disservice. Like the Elektron Trinity videos... too much going on and it was hard for me to tell which box's responsible for what. After a couple of weeks of camping at Elektron-Users and hearing demos from Allerian and other kind folks over there though... I knew I had to get in. Little concerned about the pre 1.0 OS right now but it isn't stopping other folks from getting results. I'm sure Elektron will get that sorted out in short order.

Members spaceship Posted February 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2011 I spent a good 3 hours w/ my unit last night, and had an awesome jam w/ the octatrack, machinedrum, monomachine, and dave smith evolver. The octatrack will be blowing minds in the coming months. I'm sure of it. Oh, and here is an unboxing video [video=youtube;yB_ySoaXYls]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB_ySoaXYls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
