I mean, it's a beautiful awesome synth that's worth every penny I'm asking for it... ah heh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rylos Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 I thought DX7's were brown... maybe they do change color! DX7IIs are black. I should have been more specific. Although right now my original version DX7 is also black. At least, until the lights are turned on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fancy Fingers Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 I also wish my Nords were black instead of ponsy bright red. In fact I wish the Electro was covered in black tolex, that would be even better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I very much like the garish colors of Waldorf synths as well. Colorful can be dignified if done correctly. For an example of "incorrect" color usage, check out Kurzweil's VA1.

Members mytee2.0 Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 ACK! I love the VA1, it reminds me of an indigo2. For the love of god dont tell me thats "garish". thats one of the sexiest synths around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members manisedap Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 yeah yeah black is getting boring though, they say pink is the new black for men. Heck, I look #%^&ing hot with my pink tie. I'll take a pink G2X please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepSleeper Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 I got good wood right now....erm......no....wrong thread..... I actual prefer a colorful studio, it's more vivid and inspiring. However, I do love the look of the Virus Indigo II redback and that new Nord does look sweeter than...a...wood popsicle?

Members grumphh Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 Originally posted by gilbertopb I received mine today, but without the PG. Nice colors! Black of course. *LOL* If i had any talent i would paint little psychedelic patterns in neon colours all over these boards, but i haven't so i won't... (Because both of mine are scratched and "old" looking anyway.) But what really matters is the sound - mmmmmmhhhhh :) And the PG really helps too, because the physical sliders unlock all the possibilities for quick experimenting. I recommend finding one. With the PG i'd guess that this is one of the most powerful analogues in its price range (that's easy to say - it costs even less than the Junos here... MUAHAHAHAHAAA to all the Juno buyers... ) The only things i (sort of) miss are: 1 extra LFO Ramp waves for the LFO More memory Oh, and BTW my Yamaha TG77 is black too and big - it looks very menacing on my desk, in a sort of the Darth Vader of rack modules way...

Members explody pup Posted April 14, 2004 Members Share Posted April 14, 2004 I wonder how much it would cost to paint the G2 with glow-in-the-dark pigment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Etcher Posted April 15, 2004 Members Share Posted April 15, 2004 Y'know, I'm surprized that noone (that I know of, anyway) has come out with a CLEAR synth, like plexiglass or just see-thru plastic, either completely colorless or I-Mac style, in lots of pretty primary colors. I would almost expect Casio or Yamaha to put out a budget-line keyboard like this. Kids would love it! I would love it. I WANT A CLEAR SYNTH! Oh, and glow in the dark paint is easy enough to find, even if it is that kinda sickly light yellowy green. I think a cooler thing would be blacklight reactive paintjobs; that would look better at a concert. Or clear. With little lights inside that blink, like all computers have inside them in seventies sci-fi flicks. Man, now I'll never be satisfied:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kirumamoru Posted April 15, 2004 Members Share Posted April 15, 2004 Originally posted by Etcher I WANT A CLEAR SYNTH! So, take a cheap synth and make a plexiglas case for it. I've actually envisioned something like this; you could take the guts of several modules and a controller and a small mixer and a MIDI router, you could put them all together in a personalized instrument and do whatever you want with the design; a clear case with christmas lights would be just about as viable as any other option Maybe get some of those flourescent tubes that they put in computer cases.

But there's actually interesting circuitry to see in there, not a single DSP, a bunch of outputs, and that's it. Plus, it's rather easily scratched - you'll see 'm all. I must also confess that I'm quite charmed on how the Moog Super Happy Hyper Mega Ultra Extreme Edition Tentacle Rape 5 (or whatever they plan to call it, Kiru'll understand this joke) has blue backlights for the text.

Members Etcher Posted April 15, 2004 Members Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hmm. :/ Now that I see one, I can see why they don't make them anymore. I had a clear phone once, and I remember hating how ugly it was. Circuitboards are kept hidden for a reason. I also get the "tentacle rape" joke, you legendary Overfiend, you Sometimes being a geek lets you see things you weren't meant to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yoozer Posted April 15, 2004 Members Share Posted April 15, 2004 Originally posted by Etcher I also get the "tentacle rape" joke, you legendary Overfiend, you Part 2 and 3 on VHS, much to the dismay of a fellow who scored 1 at the same local store but didn't get the others. Still looking out for a DVD with the full Project A-ko on. The music in A-ko pt 2 rules, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kirumamoru Posted April 15, 2004 Members Share Posted April 15, 2004 I have to say, I remember Project A-ko being a bit of a disappointment. As for circuitboards, I think a lot of them look cool... but some are just really ugly, and some things (like, say, phones) would definitely match decor a lot better if they're not see-through.

Members Texas Noise Factory Posted April 15, 2004 Members Share Posted April 15, 2004 There's also that little clear blue Zoom Drum Machine, and also the "Clear" Roland SP-808EX. But the Pentaphonic was OG. I like that quote Etcher... haa haa haaa.... "Sometimes being a geek lets you see things you weren't meant to..." lol!
