eric Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 It's become a thing for me. I've become hopelessly addicted to the sound of the Vent, used primarily with my NS2 for the past 5+ years. It's a special piece of gear. I have my first Vent (the classic) mounted in my rack and that is where it lives. For the longest time, I only used my Vent on gigs and otherwise, just dealt without it at home or in rehearsal, when 90% of the time, I do not lug my big gig rack. About a year ago, I picked up a Mini Vent for Organ secondhand and started using that for rehearsals. I traded that one up for the Vent II and have been happily using this between home and rehearsal space. But I got lazy...I grew weary of remembering to take it out of my home studio area and carry it to band practice. Which leads my to my THIRD Vent, holy crap! I grabbed a killer deal from Ashby Solutions on another Mini Vent for Organ and grabbed it. Now I have my Vent I for gigs, Vent II for home, and Mini Vent for the rehearsal space. It's a darn cool machine. I feel very fortunate to have this convenient way to use one wherever I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldwin Funster Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yeah, sadly I am a ventaholic. I got one when Guido was shipping them from Germany. Then when the V2s came out I got another V1 for a spare in case you could get a new one if it broke. Then I had to move out of state and put most of my stuff in storage. So I bought another one because my others are packed up 2000 miles away. At least this one was about half of what I paid for the first one cause I got it used and the V1s are kind of old news. But i mostly use vb3 whose sim is more than passable so i usually don't bother hooking up the vent. I still like the vent better. The vent is king. FunMachine.

MuzikTeechur Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I haven't used my vent (original) since I sold my Kurz. The vent transformed that board's B3 sounds, and I even used it to boost the EPs and Clavs (with the vent on "brake"). Since I've been using the SK2 I haven't needed it, but I've missed it. Moving from the SK2 back to an 88-key piano looking forward to using the vent again! Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.

Synthoid Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I would do this with every piece of gear I had were it possible. I tried that for awhile, but it became difficult hiding the new keyboards from my wife. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray.

allan_evett Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Eric, you could end up with a Vent' for each day of the week. I also have an original Ventilator that's being put up for sale 'Someday, we'll look back on these days and laugh; likely a maniacal laugh from our padded cells, but a laugh nonetheless' - Mr. Boffo.
