Members buttler Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well, I'm excited. Iron Maiden tonight, and more importantly to this thread... M3 tomorrow. Unfortunately not of the BMW variety. But still. I realize that most people here probably don't care. I know that if it isn't "vintage" or analog, it isn't interesting. But, that doesn't diminish my excitement one bit. I've tried it out, and all of the competition very thoroughly, and am quite confident that I'm making the right choice for myself. So, tomorrow or Saturday, I will post plentiful pictures of my first true entry into the world of pro workstations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members droolmaster0 Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 This just arrived yesterday: I wish it had come with more cage nuts for the rails. It fits nicely under my desk, though. Thanks for the idea, Carbon. Cool...I just ordered one of these also. Got a real good price, I think...this will come in very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpatz Posted June 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 I opened 'er up yesterday: Upper module board: Lower module board: CPU board, tucked underneath the two module boards: Removed front panel, button caps, switch caps, slider caps and knob for cleaning. I managed to get the tape goo off the front panel. I need to get some Goo Gone to remove the tape residue off the back panel. Panel assembly, with some of the button caps put back on the buttons And it's back together! This unit didn't come with normal rack ears, instead it had a rack tray bolted to it. I removed this, and put felt pads on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stikygum Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 This just arrived yesterday: I wish it had come with more cage nuts for the rails. It fits nicely under my desk, though. Thanks for the idea, Carbon. So do you guys know where to pick up those square pegs? It looks like this rack has metal pegs that fit into those square holes. I have a rack like this and have all the metal pegs breaking when I'm trying to move them around to other holes. To me, these are pain in the ass and I've stabbed my fingers a few times removing the pegs with a phillips screwdriver. Nevertheless, I need to buy more.

Members boose44 Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 Uh-oh, better stay away from bruce, he has a Virus. Too true. Funny thing is it came with version 5.5 loaded. Worked almost all night trying to get it up to 6.5. Neither the big file or the little chunks would load using any software I have. They would load about 1/2 way, and then the virus would just freeze up. It turns out it that it didn't like the MIDI interface of my Delta PCI 1010LT. Now go figure THAT one out. As soon as I slapped on my old MidiSport 2x2 USB, it loaded up like nobody's businesses. I've been using the Delta MIDI interface with my LP, CS6X, Voyager and never had a hitch until now. Crazy. I've also got an Edirol 8 port that I havne't installed yet, guess it will like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kpatz Posted June 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 And do you make housecalls ? Since you live in Florida, that means I only make housecalls in the winter. I see you have some Moogs, I may just decide to shack up down there for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ivorycj Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 * Bought a DW6000 for real cheap Wednesday.* Still waiting for my nord Lead 3 rack to come back from the doctor (I only had about 20 minutes with her!)* Probably going to send Jeff Toman one of my 2 JX-10's soon for a bit of 'mod-love'* Waiting for my nord Lead 2 Anniversary to arrive from Sweden (last one coming to US!)

Members bruto Posted June 7, 2008 Members Share Posted June 7, 2008 Kpatz - excellent! And thanks for posting the inside pics. I always open my synths up and look inside - look up the ICs, clean them, check the battery, etc. No synths for me - did get a bunch of 1/4" patch cables for the Roland M-480 mixer I bought last month - 20 in fact. Also, I bought this book from Amazon: I checked it out from the library a few times and finally bought it. It has absolutely the best chapters on chord sequences I've ever seen in a song writing book. It says guitar, but can be applied to any instrument. $13.57 + shipping.

Members LameAim Posted June 7, 2008 Members Share Posted June 7, 2008 Nothing too exciting so far... Purchased to consolidate music, sounds and data I have distributed around 3 separate drives, as well as to store my backups. 1 whole terabyte and I'm still concerned it may not be enough space...

Members Paolo Di Nicolantonio Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 My birthday today - Got these brand new - on clearance at half-price - Nice deal. Event Studio Precision 8 The Roland DS-90A will go away now and so will the M-Audio BX8 I think A few more pics of these monitors: nice finish But I need to get a pair of speaker stands - they are too big to sit on the desk - they are sort of a cross between near-field and mid-field They sound gooood..... and ... very loud!!

Members DocT Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I finally found an MCV1 in the bay and am now able to play the ol' Prodigy via MIDI. I bought a brand new MCV4 first, but they wouldn't work together for some electrical reasons that I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 So do you guys know where to pick up those square pegs? Stiky, I bought a bunch of them from Sweetwater a couple of years ago. They're pretty easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
