Their electricty runs at 50khz or something like that.In the US guitar players suffer from 60 cycle hum,whereas other countries have 50 cycle hum.

The cycle refers to the rate at which the current alternates.
 
US guitar players wouldn't have to hum if they would learn the words!!
 
Jerry - could you give me the 411 on your Native Instruments B4? Sounds interesting.
 
Sure, what the heck. I'll list. It's a short one:

Roland Juno 106 (bought it new in '84, first synth I ever bought)
Roland U-20
Nord Electro 2
Kurzweil PC2R (rack)
Voce Micro BII module (for sale for $225, if anyone's interested ...)
Baldwin Hamilton conservatory upright piano
Kawaii baby grand piano
Native Instruments Dynamo soft synth (for Pro Tools LE)

Oh, and some old Casio thing ... I think a CK-7. Such a fun, plasticky P.O.S!

There's guitars, basses, percussion, and recording gear, but we're just listing keys and synths here, right?
 
geekgirl,

I tried to PM you but it would not accept. Does the Voce Micro have draw bars or was that the unit that you could buy seperate draw bars? Is there a specific reason you want to sell it (ie: have better organ sounds, don't like the Voce, etc.)
 
Huh, I don't know why PM isn't working; I'll have to investigate.

To answer your questions, alas, it does not have drawbars. It has like 36 presets of specific drawbar combinations, and you can control click, distortion, chorus/vibrato, harmonic, and whether leslie is fast/slow in realtime.

I'm selling because my Nord Electro is a smokin' B3 emulator, fat, gritty, growly. The Voce has simply become redundant.

Try the PM thing later. If it doesn't work, well, I'll check this thread again and we'll find another way.
 
My only Synth is a Korg X5D.

It works great for my needs (which ain't much).
 
Korg Triton Pro-X


And for the VERY FIRST TIME EVER... I finally plugged in a midi cable! (pathetic, I know, especially since I've owned the Korg for several years now!). I connected it up to my PC and used it to control the amazing sounding soft synth, 'Absynth', pretty f'ing nifty.

The reason this is so bizarre is that I bought my first synth in 87' (a Roland D50), then I bought an Esoniq EPS1 (I think that's what it was, a sampler), and I never used a midi cable until now! Well, I haven't even scratched the surface of everything the Triton can do, even without midi bringing midi into the equation.
