In '83 instead of buying this: I bought this: Never regretted my decision. Oh, and... TREBUCHET!
-
This doesn't count because it's more like early 80s, but it's the biggest rig I ever gigged.
-
My trusty B-2 got me through most of the 70s. In '79 I bought a CX3 as soon as they came out. B-2 and Hohner Pianet. B-2 and Pianet in custom case plus EML 101 plus a Clavinet 2 Lost the Pianet and EML, added E-MU modular, E-MU poly, and Rhodes. Had a Baldwin ElectroPro before the Rhodes.

Found an old video from an old band (GSi VB3-II)

Great job Dave! -
I bought a couple modules today, thanks to Perfect Circuit sales. After Later Benjolin V2 and Calsynth uGrids
-
Back when I was heavy into MOTM I went to a live chill out show performed by Robert Rich featuring his large modular. It was very well done. He is really good with ambient soundscapes, the best I've heard since Patrick Gleeson.

Here in the middle of the US, those venues are few and far between.

Organ Trios (or maybe quartets) that you enjoy following?

Stanton Moore Trio MMW of course Larry Goldings -
Dang, my 2 Chromas didn't have that many problems after 20 years of being silent. One advantage to having few sliders I guess. I also had shorted PS rails due to tantalum caps. Chroma has a jillion of them. Both now have modern Meanwell switching supplies.

My Casio supports this with a stateless momentary push power switch. It goes off, and you push the button again to turn back on. It's a better solution than physically moving a switch with a failure prone relay. Sorry, the old manufacturing engineer in me is triggered.
-
What a completely unnecessary and unwelcome nanny state feature. Now we have a simple reliable $2 switch replaced by some elaborate mechanical relay deal which can't possibly be as reliable. Geez. I'll decide when my keyboard powers on and off by myself, thanks.

We have a mystery.

Here's a few. There was a long thread about it but all my image links were broken when this forum moved to the new software and server.

But was it worth it? As a fun project to keep me busy building something, sure. As a practical gigging instrument, nope. Instead of one 300 lb piece I now had to wrangle 3 100lb pieces, plus all the stand scaffolding. I took it to one gig and parked it in a studio, where it remains to this day. This led to my Hammond midi controller project, where I got two manuals down to 70 lbs, at the cost of a real generator/preamp.
-
Absolutely. I built a 3 piece B3 split up as top manual/preamp, bottom manual, and generator/vib line box. It had an aluminum chassis and the generator snugged up under the manuals for shorter wire runs. It used big Elco connectors for swell to great and swell to generator. i omitted the pedal keyboard harness as it was for non jazz use. You could set it up as a single manual if you wanted.

The mix got muddy to me when everything was going on. I lost the drums at one point. I've only listened on crap computer speakers though.
-
We ended up with 35 kids or so. I bought a pair of life size musical skeletons this year that play a New Orleans style duet on trumpet and sax. They were a big hit.
-
We've had 1 so far.
-
As I recall, the ability to sustain sounds like a piano was the big differentiator from the Farfisas and Voxes that came before.
-
I played the G101 in a band for awhile back in the day. It was a definite upgrade from my Farfy Combo Compact - I liked it quite a bit. I'm surprised to see the RMI included. What year was this list made?
-
That's quite a bit of history!
-
That drawbar setting, either 800000888 or 800008888, is called the "squabble"setting after a style of block chord playing which often uses this setting, popularized by Erroll Garner.

Pics. We want pics!

That's me, just delete "with a home studio."
