Members vwizz Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hmmm. They want $1600 for that Rhodes. Seems a bit steep.You're right DLP, don't buy that Rhodes if it's too expensive. Looks like there are plenty available on your side of the Oceanand they seem to go for for ridiculously low prices.. It's quite a different story here But OK, I'm off, I need to play more and stop spending too much time on this forum V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Swami Digital Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 Ok, I need to stop spending money... Not the sexiest addition, but it was at a price I couldn't refuse.

Members Don Solaris Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 Congratulation!!! I always thought the OB-8 is a kind of boring instrument until I played with my friends one. That is a great board in a nice shape. I am still a sucker for my M12 though. Personally, one of my favorite sounding synths ever. Programming capabilities are really BIG - takes months to discover all the tricks. And the sound is...... sweet as honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envision a huge palace, with wall to wall synths in every room. Space is no problem because i sold 6 synths prior to getting Andromeda: Neptune II, Matrix 6R, VariOS, CZ-1, Jomox Airbase 99, 2x TR-606 (broken). Right now selling YS-200 (to replace with TX81Z), and probably to sell XP-30. I follow a simple rule a friend once told me: if you don't use a synth for more than 6 months - sell it!

Members tkrotchko Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think they have one of the best interfaces for a synth, too bad they aren't as versatile as a proper polysynth. IE you can't do voice modulation or cross mod on a PM because of its TOS architecture. Also the single VCF for the entire synth really limits its palette. The thing I wonder is (and maybe I'm just getting old and cranky) is that after I went to a couple of pages devoted to the polymoog, I listened to the sounds (http://www.dubsounds.com/pm_sounds.htm) and they're cool, but they're not *way cool* like I remember it when it came out. I want to say it's like a Farfisa on steroids or something, but I think someone comes and rips up my union card if say that. But it's still cool and if you do the work on your Polymoog, take pictures and share. I find everything about them interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Obsidious Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 Woohoooooo my first ebargain!!! Even with the aussie dollar currently bent over a barrel(July $.98 USD = $1AUD/ Now $.64USD = $1AUD, great time for holidays down under folks) I manage to pick up one of these babies for just over $500 US, translating roughly to $750 australian. These things are still selling stateside for $1400 new, which is pretty expensive as is, but get this- They sell brand new in Oz for FIVE THOUSAND FREAKING DOLLARIDOOS!!!?!!! Thusly, I be well stoked with my latest aqquisition. This thing even gives me (possibly sucky) AD conversion as part of the deal! Ain't waiting for NYE for fireworks around these parts:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raffor Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 I follow a simple rule a friend once told me: if you don't use a synth for more than 6 months - sell it! That is an interesting rule that I do not follow. Some pieces are witnesses of my past and never will leave, even if they are going untouched for a while.

Members kpatz Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sold 6 synths... I wish I had *room* for 6 synths. Oh wait, I have 6 right now. Granted, 3 of them are rackies and one is a Microkorg... Just curious, Don, on an average day, how many synths do you have? Just a ballpark, give or take 100, is fine. Instead of asking for a gear list, it might be easier for you to make a list of all the synths you don't have. As for the 6 month rule, if I had so many synths that some went unused that long, I would be a lucky(ier) guy. At present, the MK and D-550 get the least use, but I don't really want to part with either of them. The MK is a handy porta-synth and the D-50/550 goes back a long way, I don't use it much just because it's a PITA to program. Some day I'll get a PG-1000 and then I'll rediscover that beast.

Members Metrosonus Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 Ok just took these really quick today... The entertainment center is the Expedit from Ikea. It took from 8am until about 3pm to put together. The tv (a 42 inch magnavox) took another three hours and several trips to the hardware store to bolt into it from the back. Most of Ikea's chairs and couches are crap but the rest of it is a really good value and quality, and I've lived for about 15 years on RTA stuff. My new DiNovo Mini for my HTPC is much smaller that I thought..and it is backlit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few digitals, others are all analogs of which i restored may of them from completely dead state. I will list them when i close the analog hunting season later this year.
