Members Rusty O'Hara Posted January 22, 2009 Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 Andromeda A6 - How finicky the knobs are / inputting values. Waldorf Q - Tiny Display Virus TI - Sustain note when attempting to send out Arps. MKS-80 - The fact I've owned it for nearly 2 years and one of my best friends won't give it back to me without a fight... uses it on every single track he writes. Korg Karma - The additional $150 to buy the MW software that should have come with the synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted January 22, 2009 Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 Korg X5D - no decent piano sound, only 2 FX. I like its weight, though The Korg DSS-1 - the fact that no one soft-synth'ed it yet! +1000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChromaLord Posted January 22, 2009 Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 1) My Chroma with Expander. Neither of them can power up, and they are probably unfixable'.2) Oasys which while can do some amazing things has the worst human (and archaic) interface I have seen and a lot of functions any self-respecting pro would never have any need for.3) Nord Electro 2- great clav samples but they are out of tune, and the unit has next to no gain4) Moog Voyager Electric Blue- looks cool backlit in the dark but the annoying whistle renders it useless except for photo-ops.5) Roland V-synth GT- I love this synth but you cant have it on a stand with other boards because the d-beam reacts6) Roland Fantom XR (rack) A lot of power for a single space for sure, but ridiculous to navigate with the micro screen and flimsy buttons.7) DP 6.01- Great leap into the next realm of DAWs but has many bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yoozer Posted January 22, 2009 Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 DX7II: Keys are too noisy. I hope I can fix this with a felt ribbon or something like the DX7 mk 1 had. Virus C: too much diving through menus. Massive: Can't truly sync oscillators, there's only a sync-like wavetable. Juno-60 / JX8P : No unison spread (yes, even though Unison is a factory test mode hack thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shambler Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 V-Synth GT, I have to stand on the keyboard to get the aftertouch to work!...well not quite but it has to have to least responsive AT of any board I've owned before.

Members kyrreca Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've only got one synth, a Korg Polysix. I dislike the lak of MIDI. I'm planning on getting a MIDI retrofit kit, but they're pretty expensive.Also. the tape in connection used for loading patches doesn't seem to work. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice to be able to restore the factory patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diametro Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Juno 60 - No MIDI I suppose that would be a legit bitch if it didn't have DCB ... But get a converter ... it's worth it ... Juno-60 is the perfect synth to layer with ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carey M Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 It's a rack module and not a 76-key performance synthesizer with semi-weighted poly-AT keyboard. And it doesn't respond to poly-AT. - CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Analogholic Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 1) My Chroma with Expander. Neither of them can power up, and they are probably unfixable'. Hi, have you been in contact with the guys at www.rhodeschroma.com? They make a new PSU which makes the beast much more stable. I had some email correspondence with David Clarke, Chroma Guru and he said: "I like it (Chroma) because it is pretty much infinitely repairable (meaning that I can keep it alive as long as I'd like)." This kind of "sealed the deal" for me, so I got myself an Expander 2 months ago:love: Back to topic: Chroma and it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Don Solaris Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 What do you like the least about the synth you like the most? Oberheim OB-8 - no VEGAS mode!!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Analogholic Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Oberheim OB-8 - no VEGAS mode!!! :mad: What do you mean? Plenty of "lights" there:idea: Press autotune and they blink for a short while Otoh, the tuning on the Chroma is of course definitely more Vegas than the OB-8 with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members relis Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 EX5 - no complain at all, as long as I treat it as a synth, not as a workstation. Oh well... the paint could be more stabile (I have a silver one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ClavAnother Posted January 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I WANT A SYNTH WITH A BIG VEGAS MODE!!! :mad: :mad: Why they don't make synths with VEGAS mode? I want a Vegas mode!!! :cry: I'm probably not supposed to say anything yet, but there may very well be a synth manufacturer, who hangs out here, that is considering this. Be patient.

Members kpatz Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 You can add a Vegas mode to any synth with these: Not just synths either. You can add Vegas mode to anything in your house. For some strange reason, around December a popular thing to do is to cut down and drag an actual TREE into your house and then put this Vegas mode kit on it.
