Doerfler Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 right out of the box it replaces the Hammond XK-3c and Vent I"ve been using in my live rig. good for you, Don. Certainly lighter with more accurate C/V, action may be preferable to you. Easier set up. Eventually you will want your Ventilator again.

I"m gigging with it tonight without the Vent, so I"ll get a chance to hear how its internal sim does live.

Justin Havu Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Got a used Tascam FW-1082 from the Bay, described as "fully functional." Installed the drivers, however it won'tt fully boot up. Only the STOP button lights up. Kinda sucks, as I would've liked to have gotten away from mixing by pointing and clicking with a mouse. ð¤¬ð¤¬ð¤¬ Quote Hardware Yamaha MODX7, DX7, PSR-530, SY77/Korg TR-Rack, 01/W Pro X, Trinity Pro X, Karma/Ensoniq ESQ-1, VFX-SD Behringer DeepMind12, Model D, Odyssey, 2600/Roland RD-1000/Arturia Keylab MKII 61 Software Studio One/V Collection 9/Korg Collection 4/Cherry Audio/UVI SonicPass/EW Composer Cloud/Omnisphere, Stylus RMX, Trilian/IK Total Studio 3.5 MAX/Roland Cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sucker for a deal and a good-looking instrument, plus my roommate just paid back a bunch of money he owed me, so... Don't worry, still making calculations for a Hydrasynth...

SteveCoscia Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Good to know. Going somewhere, Steve? Yes Dave. I am recently semi-retired and traveling to State Parks everywhere for camping, hiking, bicycling and soon........ piano playing. I've published a few of my travel/camping videos in my LinkedIn profile (my clients like to know where I go).

RABid Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Bought a new laptop that I am very happy with for the price. Dell, generation 10 i7, 16 GB memory, 500 GB SSD, 15" touch screen. Jacks include HDMI, USB 2, USB C, micro SD. Decently light and thin. $800. It was time to upgrade my MacBook Pro which I had been upgrading every 5 years but as a retired person I could not see paying 3 times the price. Plus, when you get used to touch screen it is really handy. I've spent 5 days downloading Reason, Ableton Live, and my expansions. Have not even started on VSTi's yet. A new DAW is a LOT of work. I've already used 200 GB of the SSD. Need to get a small, dedicated USB3 external drive for sound libraries and offload some of the Reason and Live expansions. I have not checked to see if it has an expansion slot available for a second external drive. Quote This post edited for speling.

KuruPrionz Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 More backsliding. I need help. Bought a Boss Katana Studio MK2. I have the Boss Katana 100 Combo, LOVE it. Got it used with the big six button footswitch. Made way more than I paid for it already and lots more gigs to come. Took a while to dial it but it sounds great. I run it in 1/2 watt mode, you can turn the Master volume up that way and it behaves more like a tube amp that's being pushed.

HSS Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I picked up a pair of factory refurbished B-stock Behringer B208d powered speakers for just $220 (with warranty). They're just 15 lbs each but still have decent volume / sound quality and two band EQ. I plan to use them around the house, for rehearsals, as secondary monitors for my larger PA, and possibly as a portable stereo PA / keyboard amp for solo gigs along with one of my small mixers. Even though I know there's not a lot of love for Behringer here at KC, I've had good luck with their gear. I've used a little Behringer Eurorack 802 keyboard mixer for about 20 years and it still works despite having beer spilled on it, being rained on, and being dropped several times. I also have a pair of Behringer 212d powered speakers (the 208d's big brother) that I've used for PA monitors for about 5 years with no problems.

MAJUSCULE Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not a purchase per se, but I was just given an Omnichord. Not the first thing I would spend money on, but I am certainly happy to add one for free. Unfortunately, it comes from a childhood friend's grandpa passing away. Hopefully I'll be able to use it in a few things. Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll be able to use it in a few things. I have one and love it. It was also gifted to me by a friend after his mother died. This seems to be kind of a pattern? Still, it's a fun little instrument, and takes well to running through bizarre effects chains. Have fun with yours.

RABid Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Cannot compete with DB (I'm so jealous) but I did get a Line 6 Pod Go and EV ZLX 15P as a bass rig that can do other things.

Casio hasn't been on my radar, but my first "synth" was the Casiotone VL-1. It was an experimental little addition to my Rhodes suitcase 73 back in 1981. I'd plug the Casio output into the Rhodes amp and play back a "sequenced" up version of Teenage Wasteland on my dorm floor. Fond memories!!!

mauriziodececco Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Just got my shiny new Hammond 44 H melodica. Mark already wrote a lot about it and her 44HP sister. What i can say, after a couple of hours of playing, is that is a huge update from the suzuki M37c i had. Great sound, no more miking problems, better dynamic. It require a lot less breath wrt the M37c, i think circular breathing is within reach, if i practice enough Maurizio Quote Nord Wave 2, Nord Electro 6D 61,, Rameau upright, Hammond Pro44H Melodica.
