Members bdub Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Triton Extreme 61 for $425. I wasn't looking for one but who could pass that up???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carey M Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Sweetness!!! What do you think of the CS-80 filter? I know it's the MOTM filter, but I haven't been able to find any demos. I'd love to ruin my economy by putting eight of the little b*stards in my 8-voice. This great lead was done using the CS80 filter... Great performance and sound, IMO. Sure made me lust for that filter. Did you get the discrete Op-Amps, Niall? Hope you enjoy your CODE I just made a payment for one of these: My girlfriend hates me at the moment... But she'll get over it - CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xpander Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hehe Just moved here about three months ago from Tampa, FL myself. You probably know the area better than I do!-D silicon valley-ness, awesome! Lockheed & Yahoo HQ are very close to the relocated Weird Stuff, where i invariably end up every now & again to try to find esoteric connectors for obsolete synthesizers. idiotboy: did Cupertino ever have a GC or are you thinking Stevens Creek in San Jose?

Members syncretism Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 People tell me the ATC-X and Omega have very similar circuitry (where the SE-1X doesn't). The ATC, Omega and CODE have the same {"similar", according to SE} Source-like VCA. As with the ATC series, you can "minimidify" the CODE, adding the SE-1x's Mini-like VCA and switch to select it per voice on the Omega and CODE series for $159/voice. I've never bothered pricing out a CODE with all the trimmings, but I expect that would be frightening in its expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members syncretism Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 That CS80 example that Carey linked to is heartbreakingly beautiful. Imagine it with a vocoder. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urbanscallywag Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 There are discrete opamps available for the CODE? From Studio Electronics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carey M Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 I've considered that. I've read that it's a worthwhile upgrade, but I'd like to A/B first, if I can. Just compare the individual outputs with the mixed stereo outputs. There is a slight fidelity difference, but it's nothing drastic. Still, I record all my mono leads using individual outs... Don't know how much the upgrade improves the sound though... And I still think it sounds lovely without those new op-amps. - CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, yeah, I meant the Stevens Creek GC. It's been nearly fifteen years since I lived there. Forgot it was SJ, not Cupertino. Is it still there? Is JJ's still there?

Members urbanscallywag Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks. Oh for the final summer, I see. What does it cost? The buy button gives me a 404. Some of the DIY forums have discrete opamp kits, I think you could upgrade the CODE yourself fairly easily. I've built discrete opamps and its not particularly fun. I never A/Bed it in circuit against any ICs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AfroRouge Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Back when I worked in Palo Alto I'd sometimes go down to that GC to spend my money. Can't say I miss the experience much. Haven't been by in years, now that I live in Berzerkely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they're doing what they can in the wake of some content management problems. I can't remember the exact price, but it was about 250 USD, give or take.

Members AfroRouge Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Been meaning to check out whether the old gear stores are still around, but haven't bothered, really. I was close to doing that when I was thinking about buying a bass a couple months ago, but then I rembraced synths. If given the option to pay less than retail and avoid sales tax, I'll take it every time. I seem to recall Leo's being on the skids years back, but my memory's fuzzy. Only been there a couple of times as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Swami Digital Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 I go to that GC on stevens creek sometimes, but have ended up leaving disappointed each time. It looks like there aren't any good stores for synth heads north of LA? Or do I just not know since I've only been here for some time? -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've also been seeing a number of vintage analogs being sold from Santa Cruz in the past few weeks. I wish I knew a few places is SF though. Might be worth it to take the train up one of these days to try out gear I can't find anywhere but online. I have a caltrain station right by my house so it would be convenient. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
