obxa Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Obsessed with Moog’s small but powerful Minitaur. Been lurking on Reverb and Ebay for months, finally scored used one at an awesome price. Love how it integrates with its editor like a regular plug in. Also compact size. It's a one trick pony, but what a trick. It sounds amazing. In background is my ailing custom ’72 Chopped Midi-Mini. Saving to have it fully re$tored sometime this summer: found a great repair guy in Alabama, as it needs work beyond my skillset. In the meantime, I've been using plugins. I actually think in the upper ranges, with FX, and in context of a mix - stuff like the superb MiniMonsta2 can fool anyone… including me. But I can always hear and tell the difference in the low end when it's a pure dry sound. As shown in the "Analog playpen corner" pic, I've no problem with Behringer's clones. Considered a Boog Model D as stand-in, but have really missed the real deal. Plus needed something that could do presets for recall. For what they offer, Minataur is actually a great value. Trying to finish up some new music release, and this will be all over it. 3 Quote Chris Corso www.chriscorso.org Lots of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluMunk Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I picked up this used bass cab on the talkbass forums. Sounds great and is super small/lightweight. I have a pit orchestra bass gig coming up in a few months, which should almost cover the cost of this new-to-me cab! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ancient PC88 used for years as a silent studio controller. Use the faders & Xtouch Mini for control. Overdue for studio makeover, and going to swap in retired slab piano. Would love the Mac-daddy Kawai, but too pricey.

Dave Keys Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 My YC73 arrived on Friday. I love it. Such a great feeling action and really intuitive knobs and switches. Beyond presets, I've never been too much of an Organ man but have been having great fun with the drawbars. Some really great effects in the machine too. Everything I used to loathe about Yamaha, eg, endless menu diving, has been addressed. This is a players board. Slightly sad to be selling the NE5 73HP as it looks and sounds the part, but I won't miss that rickety TP100 action. 3 Quote Yamaha YC73 Korg Kronos2 61 Yamaha CP88 Roland Jupiter 8 Roland JX3P Roland D50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonizer Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Picked up a used Nord Stage 3 on Saturday. Now I can use the White Grand, and I can also now have splits between a really good EP sound and a really good organ sound! I am still using my Roland FA-07 for multiple sounds and specialized splits, so it's not going away, but this Nord Stage 3 will open up a lot of new options for what I can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Kaenel Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 IK Multimedia iRig Pro I/O interface. Using it to connect my iPad (GSI Genuine Sounds app) to my Mojo Classic lower manual, via MIDI. They have a "Duo" version that has balanced, stereo TRS outs and two XLR ins, if you need that; stereo headphone out is enough for me. Comes with Lightning, USB-B, and USB-C connectors.

Very cool that it supports power delivery to charge an iThing. Shame about the proprietary connectors and mini-TRS MIDI connectors. Hopefully others will be inspired to offer power delivery on audio interfaces. Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorSilver Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Tried a Cory Wong Strat in the music shop. Generally sounds like - well, a Strat. One exception is the bridge pickup, which sounds thicker and more overdrive-ready than typical Strat bridge pickups. I ended up buying it because I liked the feel of the compound radius neck and the light weight. The wood grain showing through the finish is cool too. There are some quirks with this Strat: - When the open D string is played, an overtone of about a 5th plus couple of octaves up quickly emerges. Probably a flaw in how the nut was cut. - Fretted notes on the B string, from 10th fret and up sound as if a lowpass filter is opening. There’s no obvious wear on the frets, but I’m not a guitar tech expert. Since these are fretted notes, I doubt the nut is at fault there. This guitar was on display in the shop, so maybe it got a bit worn from passing through enough hands. Overall It's a keeper. Oh and I also bought a Snark Air - their new USB rechargeable clip-on tuner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Havu Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Got an OnStage KS7292 2-tier stand a little over a week ago. Yes, it's an X-stand, so sue me! Feels solid, quick setup, 2nd tier has height and depth adjustment. Only thing I hate about it is the main supports are a bit short, at 14" in length. Other than that, it feels nice and solid. Haven't tried anything really heavy on it yet, such as my 01/W Pro-X, but time will tell. 1 Quote Hardware Yamaha MODX7, DX7, PSR-530, MX61/Korg Karma/Ensoniq ESQ-1 Behringer DeepMind12, Model D, Odyssey, 2600/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...

rogs Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 IK multimedia 'B3x' Hammond B3 software ....... Run in standalone mode, and played using the MIDI outs from my old Yamaha HC2. So, with only 44 note manuals, not exactly a full range B3 -- more like the 'baby B' - the M.100 ( the model of 'Whiter Shade of Pale' fame )..... Using a cheap 9 slider MIDI controller (one of these: https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/SubZero-MiniControl-MIDI-Controller/P6D ) for effective drawbar and preset control... Sounds great! --- closest I've ever had my own tonewheel Hammond! 🙂 ( Yamaha spinet organs with MIDI from around 1990 can often be found on Ebay for £100 or less -- and many are easy to dis-assemble and fit onto to back of most standard cars..... ) 4 Quote Yamaha - YC61 - P105 - MOX6 - HC2 -- Neo Vent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
