Love my M4000D
-
Most annoying was buying my CP70, which was located 15 miles away.
Some a-hole in Spain - who had no intention of collecting - bid me up from a bargain to a questionable - p'd me off no end!

It's a bit like classic car restoration - the parts may be the small part but the countless hours spent firkling are what causes them to not be financially sensible projects

As a trained electronics engineer I would not want to have synth repair as my source of income - inevitably there are no accurate diagrams and many of these things were handbuilt.
They invariably look like a rats nest inside
Yes indeed!
And that is a TIDY one!

They invariably look like a rats nest inside and the truth is that if you find the part that needs to be replaced - often power supplies - something else blows that was on the way out.
I DID manage to buy a box of bits a fews years back for ARP synths and there was enough to repair a broken ProSoloist I had, plus sell the remaining spares.
I didn't do the repair myself and it took the guy A YEAR to get round to getting it done - a small profit was made but that must be unusual.

Here's a track with CP70 from the Fantom XR throughout...................

I've been using my Roland Fantom XR for some time now in my Genesis tribute with the Ultimate Keys SRX 07 board and there is a very nice CP70 in there.
The card has all the vintage instruments from Key of the 60'/70s and Vintage Synth cards.
I use lots of the RMI piano sounds and the Mellotrons. The organs are good too.
Theres also a piano demo on here: https://www.roland.com/uk/products/fantom-xr/
I bought mine new at £1000 and they are selling at £200+, great synth.
There is nothing budget about it, it sounds excellent abd very versatile.

What are these "millimeters" you speak of?
Those are the things the rest of the world deals with for measurement - a bit like the "World" Series in reverse. Only America plays in it, go figure!
Don't worry, here in England we never did adopt those nasty things properly so we have a halfway house with miles/Km/lbs/Kg in random places.
Maybe with Brexit we can go back to Imperial measurements

Probably Genesis' worst ever song - Rutherford said it took 10 minutes to write the lyrics - had ARP Quadra all over it............... yeuch.
Hey I like that song!
Theres no accounting for taste!

Worse than I Can't Dance?
Hmmm - yes!

I have a problem with ear wax buildup which I resolve with drops.
I would warn ANYONE against the destructive washing out by doctors/nurses - my experience was dreadful and I had worsened tinnitus for months on end.
Use drops, take your time. It works eventually.

A prog chart topper with a brilliant synth solo - what more could you want?

You all missed this thread then!

Thanks for the many suggestions. Finding a used VMK-161 is not easy and I would not want to spend more than my 73-key P-121 costed.
So I suppose I will continue traveling with a roof box for a while...
I'll give the Go Piano and the other options a try, though, if I see them in some shop.
I just bought a Go:Keys - same format but more sounds - for £130 slightly used on EBay
Sounds great!

Wrong thread?
-
Love it - floats my prog boat - especially TWO sets of bass pedals, that is mad! Only missing a Mellotron........
Here's my rig in action

Ouch.
I think all the aforementioned reinforces my view that I should stick to hardware.
Don't get me wrong because I do not enjoy hauling around three 20Kg keyboards plus a rack, I would love to reduce that to controllers plus a PC/MAC, but my fear of the PC/Mac and it's propensity to either upgrade past your hardware or in a fashion which writes off your favourite sounds or controller is compounded by all the statements above.
I am as geeky or geek-capable as the next man, but the idea of spending hundreds of hours to set up the keyboards I need when all I want to do is turn on and play makes me cold.

This may not be news to everyone but is to me - some of the online retailers are listing pricing for the KL-8 e.g. https://8thstreet.com/Product/Get/78656/radial-kl-8-rackmount-keyboard-mixer - Street price of $699, retail of $750. With exchange rate that probably prices me out
Would this work for you?

I've gone Samson SM10 and Radial Pro DI8 which fixes all the hardware keyboard FOH and monitoring problems but not your USB connected ones.....
-
I finally received this to replace my SM DI8 - works very well despite the reviews I've seen!
And now it's for sale
But actually only because I found a bargain Radial ProD8, which paired with a Samson SM10 10 channel mixer nicely fixes my IEM "more me" problem

Kronos 2 61 to replace my Roland XP30............

I'm confused. Streetly didn't list the rack, but a web search came up with one from a different supplier in Stockholm and LA:
http://www.mellotron.com/m4000d-rack.html
https://www.thomann.de/gb/mellotron_m4000d_rack.htm
Having the Chamberlin sounds is certainly an advantage.
Just re-read this as I've been looking at the Micro- M4000D.
You should know that Markus resch bought the Mellotron name, not Streetly, thats why it's not on their website.
(1) sustain pedal; (2) keyboards ??
