    piano .. synthesizer .. what am i looking for?

    That's the REAL irony here. I use a setup exactly like what he needs and was prepared to give him all the details if he'd had a sense of humor. If he wasn't so lazy he could have went and looked at all my other posts and seen just how extremely helpful I am around here but no, the path of least...

    piano .. synthesizer .. what am i looking for?

    The funniest part is 0hybr1d's post was worded exactly like something my 14 y/o would say to his friends while playing his online game. :rolleyes: Beyond the humor though is the rather disturbing reminder of how increasingly childish and socially inept people are getting everywhere you look...

    Tascam M520 Story...

    This is great! Thanks! Here's what I might do. Start buying up some used Power One units. Here's the list: 2 X Power One HDD15-5-A http://cgi.ebay.com/Power-One-HDD15-5-A-DC-Power-Supply-15-VDC-5-Amp_W0QQitemZ7602669028QQihZ019QQcategoryZ58288QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 1 X Power...

    Tascam M520 Story...

    ooops missed the part where there is no PSU :eek: You can build a PSU from a bunch of Power One units. I got a few from these guys for really reasonable prices: http://stores.ebay.com/CTR-Surplus_Power-Supplies_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ6QQftidZ2QQtZkm As for current, if you don't know what...

    Tascam M520 Story...

    Well I can attempt a recommendation or two if I had the schematics. As for opamps all you need to do is find the datasheet for the devices in the mixer originally and see what the current consumption is for them. Then go to the TI site and search for opamps close to that rating. Be careful of...

    Sonys XFX effects?

    I never use any of the presets for anything more than a starting point for custom ones. It's funny to take a drum loop and apply wave hammer to it and switch through the presets. I'll find the Distorted Guitar, Bass or some other unrelated preset better than the Percussion preset most of the...

    anyone use this anymore lol

    Oh hell yeah, I still got 4 in rotation too. Resource-wise it rocks the heck out of 6. There are a couple tracks that I made in 4 that won't play properly in 6 because I run out of horsepower :rolleyes:

    piano .. synthesizer .. what am i looking for?

    Well maybe a tape recorder is a bit old fashioned. A Minidisc player might be somewhat cooler. Heck back in the day I played for a band that ran their backing tracks off a cassette tape. Doesn't need to be fancy... I suppose I am too old for this playground though :p

    anyone use this anymore lol

    I still use it all the time. It's a great quick scratchpad and all of my songs start out in it. Many of them are completed in it too. I can't say why it isn't more popular. It's as simple as garage band but with some decent power tools for serious production work.

    Getting the Wurlitzer 200A sound on a Kurzweil

    Have you tried using the mod wheel on your Kurzweil? Most of the time it is setup to add vibrato to any sound you are playing.

    actually I think you are looking for a tape recorder ;)

    RX-7 Continued....

    Thanks Dr ZEE! :) I very happy with the results. Even after being converted to mp3 the music still sounds half decent. But my God you should hear it right out of my monitors. I have the monitors patched in a pair of program channels. Yeah there is cleaner sound but what kicks my ass most is the...

    4136 opamp replacement

    Yeah Aries always had that off-the-hook premium pricing despite the fact they pay such grossly substandard wages to their workers and use automated assembling. I thought the idea there was to offer more competitive pricing :confused:

    Thinking about Yamaha HS80m Studio Monitors. Opinions

    I use the HS80. For the money I think they are really decent. Certainly better than anything else I was able to test in the price range. The difference in my mixes is significant too. If I was to upgrade I would definitely be shooting for the Event ASP8. That is such a sweet sounding speaker...

    Jrc 4558d(x)

    Glad to hear that worked out alright. :) I never was able to find any documentation or datasheet that says anything about the DX version of this IC. I can only imagine it is a higher voltage version of the original since they can be powered from +/- 22V. If that is the case there is a chance a...

    RX-7 Continued....

    I've been itching for this moment. I finally got to record a new song through old Rex. http://www.somnium7.com/ Track one. Compare it to tracks 3 or 4 which were done on Rex before the upgrades. I think I hear a difference.... :)

    My Ghetto-tastic Mint-Chip cinder block speaker stands!

    Those are awesome. Good job too.

    aw crap. i think i fried something

    Good logic. The bypass switch was my next suspect. I tend to look for the sources of mechanical failure before I start probing circuits. In the Navy I found that 90% of the time avionics equipment suffered damage due to the extreme vibrations found in a fighter jet. Audio gear is also subject to...
