KuruPrionz Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Today, I bought Newfangled Invigorate. I get the cross grade deal because I own some Eventide / Newfangled plugins already. This is a fun one, the GUI is easy to use and it allows an individual selection of Compression, Limiter and Overdrive with complete controls for each one plus infinite combinations of Compression/Limiting or Limiting/Overdrive. Great on individual tracks or the Master bus, a new favorite of mine because it sounds great. Eventide / Newfangled continues to release these sorts of combination plugins that allow me to reduce the total number of plugins I use AND add features I did not have before, love their plugins!

I found a great deal on a Kurzweil PC4 on Reverb that I just couldn't pass up, hopefully it'll be here before the end of the week so that I can have some time to mess around with it over the holiday weekend. All in all, I'm super excited! Just came in today, and I am quite enamored! 1 Quote Instruments: Walters Grand Console Upright Piano circa 1950 something, Kurzweil PC4-88, Ibanez TMB-100 Studio Gear: Audient EVO16, JBL 305P MKII monitors, assorted microphones, Reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Emm Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Cherry Audio's GX-80. I've had it for just a week and I'm still doing a vintage Ren & Stimpy happy dance over it. I'm scratching the hell out of that ancient CS-80 itch. One impression: part of what we think of as 'that Vangelis sound' is simply what almost anyone would do with it because of its unusual design. It has a unique area where its at its distinctive best, like a French horn. Being Vangelis helps immensely, of course. The trick will be applying the best of the instrument without sounding derivative. Its a creamy beast. 2 1 Quote "Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons and necking in the parlors!

Everything new (as well as the OP-X and SQ80) is way more CPU-hungry than the previous versions. Augmented synths are totally unusable for me.

That's more convenient than when I was a SysAdmin for an ISP and our small server room had two of the refrigerator sized APC units. I think each one had fourteen airplane batteries in dam those things weighed a lot. Once a year we had a APC tech come test the units, the batteries, replace whatever needed replacement. PIA but when the power would go out we sure glad we had them. We only had the APC's to keep the power going until our diesel generator kicked in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favo(u)rite story about why testing is fallible: A company regularly tested their UPS services: battery backup for a few minutes to cover the time for the diesel genny to start up. Every time, they would turn off mains power to the server room, the UPS would switch to battery, the fuel pumps would start pumping diesel to the generator, which would generate electricity, and the UPS would switch back to that. Then they had a real power blackout, not a test. The UPS switched to battery, the fuel pumps ... didn't start They had wired the fuel pumps to the mains side, not the UPS side, of the supply. Of course it worked during tests. Cheers, Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many levels of Murphy do you want protection from and how many can you afford? Amazing how when they see the price they are willing to risk more and more.

MAJUSCULE Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 2x SSL SiX 500-series module. Regulars will know that I've been jonesing for a while. Just took another quick peek and Long & McQuade had 'em for $409, $250 off list. The time had obviously come. Unfortunately, there's no stock anywhere in the country, so I'm just waiting to see when I get to pay the balance past the deposit. The plan, as it has been, is to incorporate these into a tidy 4u rack serving both stage and studio for a stereo/dual mono config of sonic goodness. 3 1 Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garubi Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 IK Multimedia UNO Synth Pro, analog paraphonic synth. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/unosynthpro/index.php?p=info Got a good deal on Amazon: € 412 incl. shipping (it's €610 on IK Multimedia website) Just played a little yesterday night: I like the sound, very enjoyable the keybed (thanks God it has aftertouch!!!). Heavy and sturdy aluminum case. 5 pin MIDI plugs. Very easy to tweak despite the controls matrix (and I'm really not a synth guy). I still haven't tried the arpeggiator... Looks like a great synth with quite a number of hidden gems... 2 Quote My band: www.tupamaros.it Our music: https://tupamaros-it.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/intl-it/artist/7GP4CEx224ccPgW6paHQwQ https://music.apple.com/it/artist/tupamaros/1468527891 Galanti Accordion + Voicelive Play | Roland FA-07 | GSI Gemini Rack | MIDI Drawbars controller (custom made) | IK Multimedia UNO Synth Pro | Roland VR-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
