Well this being internet and I all I won't go too much into detail, but I never forget this one time I specified 2m2 of free table space for _expensive_ live equipment and the promotor thought he fulfilled that requirement by placing an additional salon table next to the DJ-booth.

So I helped a local synth studio move to their new location today, and I was honoured and trusted with a very special passenger. Roland System 700  Net worth of the car increased by 2000%

And I almost got hit by a city bus that was running a red light.

Fors Yard posted:I think they incorporated the internal 101 sequencer but I wonder how/if they incorporated the trigger. Where did you read this? Because I've been following the development of the System-1 and Plug-out synths (please do the Jup-6 Roland, please), but from what I've seen/read so-far is that it actually lacks the sequencer. On the Roland website they only mention the arp, and I've not seen a sequenced video anywhere. Triggering wouldn't be that difficult, just program the steps like on a real SH-101 and then instead of sending a trigger signal, allow midi notes to to play the sequence/arp on each received note. However if they throw that in, I'm seriously considering trading my Bass Station II for the System-1, because the lack of a triggerable sequencer on the BS II is completely annoying and the promised firmware upgrade is already a year in the making, without any hopes of it actually being available in this decade.

Fors Yard posted:Nevermind I guess I was mistaken. Looks like only the arpeggio. Guess there wouldn't be too much demand for it. It's just the patented Roland-fail at doing anything right since the mid-nineties. That magic trigger-sequencer combo is at least 50% of the reason of ever wanting to have an actual SH-101. You just can't write them crazy stepping patterns like that with just plain MIDI-notes.

A simulated trigger signal needs to be absolutely loud as gently caress. Take a rimshot sample pitch it up and boost it until its maximum level and assign it to an individual output. I have done this on a MPC loads of time, so it should work in a DAW as well.

Casio CZ-101, Korg Poly 61, Korg DW-6000/8000, DX27, can still be found on the low end of the segment and all can be great fun if you envest some time in learning how to program them. There are also loads of VA-synths that get shat upon for wel eh, being VA-synths, but still kan sound pretty solid in their own right like a Novation (Super) Nova, A or K station.

I might be suffering from a severe case of Waffleiditis. Nearly everything I do these days is sample based, so I've been thinking about selling of a large part of my synth collection in favor of buying an AKAI MPC 2500 or an Electron Octatrack and getting some sort of an allround synth like a Prophet or a NordLead for some pads 'n strings etc. and I'll probably keep my Bass Station for well eh bass. I just really want to get rid of the old and start over new with a compact(ish) setup thats easy and fun to use and will fit in a space of like 3 square meters. OMG, this is how it starts isn't it...

I'd always try to sell it locally. Here in the Netherlands there are a couple of specialised online synth communities that have buy/sell threads, where you attract the right crowd and people are generally informed about the normal prices for vintage equipment, so no lowballin'. It's pretty much the go to place if you're looking for for semi-rare synths like Minimoogs, ELKA's, JP-8's etc, I've bought my 909 and Juno-60 from those listings. Isn't there something like that where you live?

I don't know, if you dislike the sound of an A4 alreadyI think it will get only worse with the Monomachine. Are you just feeling nostalgic, or is there something about the machine you'd like to use it again?

toadee posted:It's not just the 303, it's the 101 and 202 as well, and of course the drum machines, mainly 909 and some 809 and 707, even some 606. It doesn't mean that any other music is bad or anything, just Acid as a genre is based on the purity of that timbre, so doing it with a tb-3 or vst or something is just pale in comparison is all. Isn't that a bit of an anachronistic claim to make? I mean, if anything, the birth of acid pretty much boils down to some Chicago ghetto kids getting their hands on the cheapest synths available at that time and some shady guys at Trax Records that understood that they could earn big by tricking everyone into signing aways the rights to their music for a fistful of dollars.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Fixed that for you, but I agree. I'd add: Make your own drat music, because that's more interesting. Very true, electronic music is about being outside of the box, not getting locked in to one. However, with acid being mostly just drums plus one synth and maybe some vocals involving the words acid and house, options are really limited.
