  1. I once used an empty L as a stand for a Yamaha SY77... It's wide enough to accomodate big 61-key boards. A shell for clonewheel organs (1 or 2 manuals) is a neat idea. Give it out for free on Kijiji or something.
  2. Sincere condolences to you, your family and friends.
  3. It'll come down to what a given user has in mind to play... If Mr. Firechild wanted it to sound like that, then that's what he did with it... Same for the other demo above. Don't worry... It's an OB-Xa
  4. Most Yamaha products post-DX7 have always been super efficient. I still use a QX5
  5. Love Yamahas.. their look, nomenclature, implementations... They rarely released a product haphazardly. They offered quality alternatives to industry standards and even set some of their own.
  6. it's shockingly fat Could indeed be something like a Oberheim Four Voice.
  7. Laurie Spiegel had one... Also, you can briefly see (and hear?) a McLevier in this movie.
  8. I like his enthusiasm... his synth museum video was great
  9. Some people feed on negative reactions... he sensed you were angered and possibly bitter by his intervention that a month later he still persued you. It can only be resolved when you stand up in the face of it. And you can still do it by being polite.. firm, but polite It should have been nipped in the bud at the moment he started playing your keyboard for 5m.
  10. Had the chance to buy a JX8P in the late 90s from a friend's father. I remember being surprised by how larger the casing was compared to other Junos and the 3P. Even the D-50 is more streamlined.
  11. I quite liked it too... I heard that record some 20 years ago, along with David Borden and Mother Mallard.
  12. I still like to use stuff with 16x2 displays... As long as it's easy to go back and forth through the parameters and with fast scrolling data knob. larger screens with soft buttons and big dials never bothered me but generally don't like to have too much information to read at once in different sized characters. At least not for a musical instrument. Never had a touch-screen and haven't used knobby synths in a long time.
  13. Many noticeable sounds mid-90s games, when CDs allowed for actual recorded music and not midi data. I know of a few soundtracks made exlusively with either a Proteus, Kurzwell K2000, JV-1080, etc and using mostly stock presets.
  14. The song has a Doors vibe... never had that impression before and just hit me
  15. Those SIEL polys have SSM filters... but not worth the obscene price. btw, first synth I ever played was a SIEL Cruise
  16. I really like the TX7 for no-frills DX sound.. but 32 presets can be too little to think I sold mine for 25$ after installing a baclit display
  17. PreenFM2, if you're open to diy modules.
  18. Thanks for the mention... I never heard about that until now
  19. I bought an original Nintendo a month ago and some choice games. We've been under curfew for some time and I felt like hearing cool music blasting from the TV again.
