👆 THIS, and well said. Worded better than the way I posted, "Picking dynamics need to be able to come through. Working on your playing to get that tone and attitude is just as important here as the guitar and pickups and everything" above here And I defer to Kuru in the matter that a medium to heavy pick might serve best here, rather than the "medium to light" pick I suggested- although that's certainly up for experimentation and individual preference! The bottom line- punchy hot-side-of-medium-gain, Marshall-esque closed-back cab character, projecting attitude. By the way, I believe that the recording was released in 1984, originating in in Romania. Gear available was basic but good, classic stuff. Things were probably kept very simple. -
Yes, as sound tech for my band, I'm building a PA system out of unwanted KC 400s salvaged from the town dump. Plenty to choose from, but they smell a bit off. -
Since PA speakers "don't sound as good," are your sound guys using KC400's for the FOH PA mains? -
We'll see how well it works for me over the longer term. So far, so good. I realized right away that I needed to designate a specific place to keep the allen wrench, which will be in the small front pocket of my gear bag. I will probably carry a second one for security. The way I have my iPad set up, the bottom edge leans against the top back of the upper keyboard- so sagging shouldn't be a problem. I just couldn't get the placement and angle for the iPad the way I want it with a less "maneuverable" holder. Haven't gigged with it yet so like I said, we'll see. -
I have one of these as well as the one i linked to above. Couple problems i had with this one: A) you can't adjust it without the wrench. "where did i put the wrench?" Fine for permanent install I guess, but not so much for on-the-fly at a gig stuff. B) For mine (and others' judging by some of the reviews), even when tightened, it very slowly would sag over time with a large heavy IPAD. By slowly I mean the next morning my IPAD is sitting on the studio console instead of up in the air. These things have one job to do, and mine fails at it. C) The large "elbow" of the thing is quite cumbersome and depending upon how you set it up kinda sticks out like a giant sore thumb. If you can get it where you want it and aren't gonna move it at all, i guess it's ok, but i never got along with it. D) The clamp is a little wonky and only works on a right-angled "tabletop-esque" surface. you won't be putting this on a tubular x-stand or a mic stand or a drumset. Mine lives now lives in the studio holding a tablet over my console (with the bottom edge of the tablet resting on the meter bridge so it doesn't sag)

I just bought one used two days ago. I had in the past (a very past) the original ARP Odissey and an Avatar (the guitar version of the Odissey). They sounded quite differenti, and now I understand why: two different version of the filter. A friend of mine still have the all black one with coloured sliders, which Is again different, maybe two poles filter? Anyway the Behringer sounds good but a bit differenti too. My ARP had a ring modulator I used to build fabolous bell like sounds: metallic, full of harmonics. The kind of sound you can hear on Japan Tin Drum or Oil on Canvas albums. Until now I couldn't recreate this sound. Neither the Avatar did. Just my ARP Odissey I sold for little Money :( -
In V.A.S.T., be it the original V.A.S.T. or the newer vaster V.A.S.T. with Cascade and Dynamic, there are several ways you can use internal DSP sources with Samples: 1. Samples only 2. Internal DSP Oscillators only without any Sample 3. Samples mixed with internal DSP Oscillators In the new V.A.S.T., you can certainly use a multi-sampled Keymap, alongside an internal anti-aliased DSP Osc, e.g. a 2-block SINE+ for a single Layer, or even an aliased one like the old SAW+. For larger AA DSP Oscs, e.g. the 4-block SAW, you'd need to use Cascade Mode, a passthrough signal and a Mixer ALG. So these aren't mutually exclusive. Instead, what the manual seems to indicate is that if you want to do a traditional analogue subtractive synth, then you'd rather not use a Keymap, which makes sense since analogue subtractive synths don't use them at all. You can still use a Keymap's sample Envelope if it is set to Natural, even if the Sample itself isn't sounding via the Layer, say, if you have simply a 4-block AA DSP SAW. That SAW block effectively cuts off any of the Sample signal. However, as the AMPENV mode is set to Natural, it is the factory AMPENV for that multi-Sampled Keymap that is applied to the Layer. The Natural envelopes have more details than can be produced with a User AMPENV. The thing that happens with setting the Keymap to Silence is that it sets each key's amplitude to the same maximum amplitude. Maybe that's what you need in a certain program, but sometimes, if you are doing an emulative program, you could be better off actually referencing the emulation's Keymaps Sample although the latter isn't heard, with the corresponding Natural Envelope, or of course, you could just go into User Mode and make your own envelope. Hope this helps. -
Sweetwater might accept to deliver to Canada, but you will be charged transport accordingly and as anything going USA to Canada your item will go through customs and it is always possible to end up with extra fees - sometimes very expensive. I personally had a very bad experience about 10 years ago and promised myself to never import again from the USA unless the seller confirms on paper he pays for all possible customs and duties extra fees. Buying Kurzweil products in Canada has always been complicated. In the 1990s a few stores in the province kept a couple of them, but if you wanted something they didn't have you had to order sight unseen and wait months to get your purchase. That is how I bought my MIDIboard, K1200 and finally, around 2000, a PC2X. I hated the Fatar action on the PC2X from day one and swore to never buy a keyboard sight unseen ever again.
