Members urbanscallywag Posted March 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 I thought I could have fun, too. But, nothing's ever in a convenient place to play it. All three keyboards are leaning against the wall right now except for the PEK.I ham experiencing similar non-playage.Hence this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pix Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Ew. Super budget Yamaha RM1X (seq only) Roland JX-8P Ensoniq ESQ-1 Akai S3000XL MAM Freebase 383 Close to $1000 for a complete gig. I'd make it RS7000 JX8P Freebase. actually that's a pretty cool setup right there. cool sequencer, sampler, poly analog, cool acid analog bass together with an ok rompler that can be mangled into oblivion with RS's fx. Not to mention resampling with loop remix function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ Schmeejay Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 OK.....I'll post my actual setup so you guys can get some real laughs....BOSS SP-202Roland SP-404Yamaha CS2XGateway laptop running Ableton Live5Good enough for me.

Members LameAim Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 LameAim: You've yet to include analog. Is that intentional? I don't know of any relatively cheap poly analogs with MIDI, and it seems to me a bit wasteful to have a monosynth in a 3-piece setup... do you have some you can suggest?

Members urbanscallywag Posted March 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Pix: you're right, looks good. I am skeptical about the RS7000 but I'll trust you. DJ shmeejay, no laughing here, only encouragement to buy things you don't need. Don't you find overlap with the 2 SPs and Ableton though? LameAim. Hm. I see it as you can get away with poly digitals, but I've never seen a digital mono. So to me a mono analog is totally worth it. The ATC-1 has become pretty cheap these days.

Members pix Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Pix: you're right, looks good. I am skeptical about the RS7000 but I'll trust you. the only advantage I see in the rm1x is the smaller size. the RS7000 uses much of the Rm1x system and adds a lot of goodies on top. You can actually use it as a loop recorder for your external gear (better if you have the digital i/o expansion) and then apply the loop remix thing on the recorded loops and keep only the variations you like. It actually waits until the beginning of the next measure and recs for the amount of measures you want. The other cool thing over the RM1x (besides the sampler and better rompler) is that it has a rehearsal mode where you can get into and out of rec mode with the sequencer running. It's not as well implemented as the elektrons or the MPCs but it's an ok compromise. It's a considerable step up from the Rm1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Yamaha DX7II (for controller as well as FM sounds) Yamaha Motif ES Rack (or Roland Fantom Rack) Roland MKS-70 and either Sonar or Cubase. This setup would cover a lot of bases with all major sound generation technics represented. I just played a Yamaha DX7II yesterday - what an excellent keybed. A good budget studio would be: Yamaha TX802 (or TX81Z) Roland MKS-50 Korg TR Rack You could get all three for around $500 and have FM, Analog, and a modern rompler.

Members clusterchord Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 hypothetically, if i could choose to have a "studio B" for creating bleepy electronic sequenced something , a direction that intrigues me lately, while keeping the rest of my setup..Sequentix P3SunSyn999 or MD UWFutureRetro XSjupiter8sh2does this still pass as "minimalistic" ?

Members eminor9 Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 My current setup, which I consider pretty minimal, consists of Monomachine MD NL2x Fantom as controller + occasional rompler duties + of course some good digital efx. Analog is something from previous century ;=). You can listen here how it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spritex Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Here is my setup. It's software but I am glad that I have managed to finally slim it down to things that I actually feel comfortable with: Cakewalk Project5 (the sequencer) Zebra 2.1 (the synth) Shortcircuit 2 (the sampler/drumsampler) (Oops, I just realized that I got Cakewalk Dimension Pro too - but I got it mostly for the sample content that I can also use in SC2.)

Members urbanscallywag Posted March 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 When I went to bed last night I gave some thought to this thread, and I don't think I'll be able to live up to making a minimalist studio. If I did, the Andromeda would have to stay because of the price I paid for it and also its a great polysynth. I also would have a hard time selling the x0xb0x I built. So a realistic setup for me: Alesis AndromedaElektron SFX-60Akai MPC-1000x0xb0x *modular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequentix P3 SunSyn 999 or MD UW FutureRetro XS jupiter8 sh2 does this still pass as "minimalistic" ? No you've gone overboard. You get Jupiter 8 or Sunsyn and the XS or SH-2.
