Members Napalm Posted February 1, 2005 Members Share Posted February 1, 2005 WOW!! After seeing this thread realized just how much I've spent over the past 6 months and still have GAS for more {censored}e: 2004 Purchases: Korg Triton Extreme + MOSS Roland XV5080 + 8 Boards Yamaha FS1R Alesis Andromeda Emu Morpheus Emu Orbit 3 Loaded Emu Proteus 2500 Loaded Emu PX7 Loaded Akai MPC4000 + $6000 Sample Library Oberheim MC3000 8x8 88-Key MIDI Controller 2005 Planned Purchases: Mini Mac Dave Poly Keys Access Virus TI Korg Legacy Collection Roland V-Synth XT Clavia G2X Kurzweil 2661 EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs More Softsynths... Sold: Korg Trinity Rack--> Replaced by Triton Extreme Roland Fantom XR--> The XV5080 has better sound IMHO Alesis QSR--> Loved the sound, but no longer needed Yamaha RY30---> Really nice drum machine Akai MPC2000XL---> Replaced by the BEAST I know my current/planned setup is overkill for MIDI gear, but my sound source can never be redundant or limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do see your point: the Extreme is a killer 'board, especially with the Legacy package for free. And I know all too well about how {censored}ty, crappy, horrible, horrendously unappealing the keybed on the Triton Le is - my fingers recoil in horror every time I play mine, I think...

Members urbanscallywag Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 On the list is supplies for building 1/4" unbalanced cables and MIDI cables, FX maybe a DP4, and an Evolver. Wow, that was suprisingly realistic! I'd like a Micron, for a small controller by the computer (oh yeah and the synth engine) and a Fizmo as a main controller. But I don't think either of these will happen. I'm sure there will be small impulse purchases along the way, keeping me from the prioritized wants.

Members Napalm Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 Originally posted by wheresgrant3 The Extreme.... well, normally I wouldn't consider it if it weren't for the Legacy offer. Buy the Triton Extreme before July 31, and receive the Korg Legacy package ($499) for free. WTF!!! Where did you see this? I just purchased the Extreme and didn't see that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urbanscallywag Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 audacity, I'm quite looking forward to seeing your rig reduced to just The Argosy. Out of all the things you own, that's the one I'd like the most. Having everything within reach would be too sweet for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kirumamoru Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 The problem for me (if you can call it that) is that the things I've started GASsing for are so far out of any forseeable improvement to my living/income situation that it's hard for me to REALLY get hot and/or bothered by the things that might arguably be within my buying power if I actually get a job. For instance, I GAS over things like Fazioli F308's and B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillyWa Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 Dang, I think I am done for the year, just got an Andromeda, K5000s, Fantom X7, Novation X-Station 25, Wavestation SR and FS1R. Oh and I traded a bottle of scotch for a Yammy CS-15. I suppose I could sell these since I just quit my day job: Fantom FA-76 Korg DW8000, DW6000 Kawai K-1 Yamaha KX-5. S30 Ensoniq VFX-SD Farfisa Compact Except they are worth more to me than I could ever get for them. I need a bigger house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Audacity Works Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 Originally posted by urbanscallywag audacity, I'm quite looking forward to seeing your rig reduced to just The Argosy. Yeah, me too! Unfortunately, I kinda have to buy everything at once (except for maybe the Tascam controller), and can't afford to until I sell the other stuff... ...Except I need a studio, because work ain't stoppin' for no one. So I guess the trick is to put everything on a 6-month interest-free credit card, hook it all up, sell the other gear over the course of those six months, and then pay off the card before any interest kicks in... ...Except I don't even have an open window to redo the studio. Guess things could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zarquin Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 Planning for the year.I think i should do that so i can actuall purchase some decent stuff. this year id like to get : Laney TT20 guitar head + cab a sampler of some description , preferabley either a Kurzweil K2000R or an Emu ultra. failing a sampler , some ROM sounds for my sequencer would be nice, Vintage Pro for starters.. a weighted 88key controler keyboard. The Maudio one looks nice. and has a decent price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mr.rob Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, lets see... I'm not getting as many hours as I'd like at my current job and I'm in school for the forseeable future chasing that magic degree that'll open up all the doors and whatnot, so I'm not holding my breath but... Native Instruments Komplete 2: I was going to just get Reason. Then I saw what was happening with kontakt 2. I've had a change of plans. A new desktop and Laptop PC. Roland SPD-6 or SPD-8 or Drumkat: Nothing beats using drumsticks to play your beats. Tracktion 2 I have been toying with the idea of buying a library of impulse responses to load into a convolution reverb, like these:http://www.spiritcanyonaudio.com/convbundle.php Also, I'd like to branch out my hardware efx. I was thinking of creating a signal chain of badness to run tracks of softsynths through. I've toyed with this idea using a Sans Amp and a Mesa Boogie Studio Pre. I'd like to add a phaser and flange and chorus and maybe a filter effect( SHerman Filterbank?) or maybe something like the kaos pad 2 or the Line 6 pedals...

Members Roger the Shrubber Posted February 2, 2005 Members Share Posted February 2, 2005 dont really plan on getting anything, atleast nothing major. I actually have had a recent urge to sit and experiment with what I have and push their boundaries. with that in mind, I still need a small midi controller and wouldnt mind either a hardware fm synth or the vsynth xt. - Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that sound.___________________________ Yes, it is in really bad shape, though. I got the service manual a few months ago, but have not dived in to fix it up yet. I used to run it though the filters on my CS-15, what a great sound! I have two CS-15s now, I'm gonna try to figure out interesting ways to mod them out. However, most of my time in the near future will be spent figuring out how to use what I have, oh, and looking for a new job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
