RABid Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 There has been a lot of talk lately about the Yamaha FS1R, Korg Wavestation SR and E-mu Morpheus. These are three old synths that I would like to have available in the rack. What other semi-outdated rack units would you like to have around? Robert This post edited for speling.

bleen Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 BassStation rack - I used mine as a MIDI->CV converter for a Korg Mono/Poly JV-1080 - I actually really enjoyed programming this synth. Mirage Rack - just kidding!! recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I have an old MKS-70. Though I wish it were an MKS-80, this piece still has a lot of character. These recent threads are going to make me dig out the Morpheus... I'm still not unpacked from the move. -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

Dave Bryce Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Prophet VS rack - the keyboard versions were notoriously unreliable. MKS-80 Super Jupiter (w/MPG-80 programmer, of course)...there never really was a keyboard version... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Classics (no explanation needed)___ Prophet VS rack MKS 80 Wavestation A/D TX816 (with a QX-1 heh) FS1r Oddballs________________ Kurzweil K250RMX - just because it looks so cool. Kurzweil K150 - I actually liked this...but it weighed more than my 1000 watt PA power amp. It has the most realistic piano ever...if you only play middle C. Linnsequencer - this was the future of music...about 3 years ahead of its time. I'd love to see Forat fix this thing if there are any left. Proteus 1,2,and 3 - purely sentimental. They really do not hold up that well in terms of sound quality, but E-mu wrote the book on good user interface design in a single space rack. Bit 99 (or was the 01 the rack unit?) - six or seven times, I could have bought this thing for < S100.00. Damn. Yamaha RM50 - Anyone know where I could find one of these? Marion MSR2 - Did T.O. ever produce a second engine for this thing? Rack units that are out of date that I never want to use again (YMMV)______________________ Mirage Rack - yes, it's a "classic", and the grunginess adds "character". But programming it is "clunky" and a "nightmare". Akai S612 and the quickdisk drive for it - The biggest scam akai pulled until the S01. Entry level, my ass. Oberheim OB-Mx - never owned it, but I tried to sell it when I worked retail. This one may not have been in this category, but I never saw one work correctly. "For instance" is not proof.

RABid Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 How about the Roldand D-550? Anyone still using this? Robert This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
