Members ElectricPuppy Posted May 1, 2008 Members Share Posted May 1, 2008 A new month, a new gear thread. Tomorrow I pick up a Juno for parts to repair my own, and later I will win one of several auctions for a particular digital beastie on the 'Bay that I've been GASsing over for a while now. Photos will be posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diametro Posted May 1, 2008 Members Share Posted May 1, 2008 I finally replaced my seven-year-old Sony DSC-F707 ... ... with this Nikon D300 ... The Sony was a nice camera (especially in the macro mode) and I'm going to keep using it as a video/audio recorder (as well as for stealthy "no click" photography ... ) I've made thousands and thousands of dollars with it ... But this Nikon D300 is absolutely a dragonslayer ... even after having it just a few days, it's pretty hard not to take only the highest quality photos ... and its fast as f-ck ... turns on instantly ... the autofocus has 51 sensor points as well as color and 3D movement recognition ... unbelievable ... you can focus on a single bird in the sky and BAM, it's in focus ... basically, if you miss a shot, it's because YOU missed the shot ... LIVE PREVIEW in the huge, 3" super-sharp LCD ... super-long battery life ... I know this is sacrilege, but it's almost as much fun taking photos with this camera as it is playing my synths ...

Members polar69 Posted May 1, 2008 Members Share Posted May 1, 2008 On Sunday I won a Yamaha AN1x, now I just have to wait for the delivery man I thought it had been delivered yesterday but as I was at work it had been taken to the parcel depot. So at 06:30 this morning I got up and went and camped outside the doors which opened at 07:00. At 07:10 they eventually opened. Did I get my an1x? No, it was a delivery for the wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I was going to buy a 15" sub for my room but, this 18" was offered to me cheap. It might be a little over kill but hey, at least I can hear the 808 droppin' now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members arctic88 Posted May 1, 2008 Members Share Posted May 1, 2008 Those D series Nikons are insane. I got my girlfriend (she has photographic aspirations) the D40 6mp model in a package w/a couple of lenses and a some tutorial DVDs. Just a starter pack. My mom got me a Coolpix a few years ago and I was a convert from Canon to Nikon. Metro, do you use a plethora of lenses or do you do a lot of footwork? On the muzak tip...I think I needs me a used JP8080. Or you could just give me one reason to stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marmorek Posted May 1, 2008 Members Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just got this on Sunday: It's incredible. Perfect cross between synth and piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dreamtronix Posted May 2, 2008 Members Share Posted May 2, 2008 Expecting my third RS-09 in the mail. I don't know why I keep selling them off. Maybe I'll actually keep this one. Also, received my Yamaha SK-15 last week. The SK-15 really impresses me and I didn't think it would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idiotboy Posted May 2, 2008 Members Share Posted May 2, 2008 So far this month, just a smartmedia card reader and a 128MB card for getting samples into my RS7K. Not very sexy, but tres useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Birdienumnum Posted May 2, 2008 Members Share Posted May 2, 2008 Got a bunch of software for my work, including this: I still want Ethno Instrument as well, but the above is more practical right now. Most of the sounds are fantastic. A few quibbles: I wish the dinky piano had been left out and it's megabytes used for better solo strings and performance articulations. But really, for $240 you can't beat it with a stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted May 2, 2008 Members Share Posted May 2, 2008 The SH-2 is a natty little monosynth from 1978, I think? I suppose it was marketed as an affordable version of their SH-5 and System 100 synthesizers. The Roland sound from that time haunts me. So {censored}ing lush. I see a long and expensive habit coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
