ZOMBIE ALERT! (for Me and for this thread) Hi! Some of you might remember me, I used to be a frequent poster/follower on this forum. Since my day job changed I haven't had access to internet during the day. But now I'm doing a Work-From-Home thing and will be checking the forums more often (not sure how I'ma catch up on 25 pages of topics tho, wow!) Anyway, hi again to everybody and I'll see ya around! ~ Bill C. (vonnor)

I got a Novation Summit for that solution (knobs and buttons) and I love it. No thread hijacking intended - carry on. ~ vonnor

For those of you that build your sounds either from scratch or by tweaking factory patches I thought a thread where folks share their challenging sound recreations for cover songs would be helpful. How you worked through the process, what instruments/vsts did you use, layers, tricks, unique approaches, sonic discoveries, etc. Any and all sound engines/brands/keyboards are welcomed. I can start. This week I had to woodshed a couple country songs that had banjo riffs in them (She's Country, and Save a Horse). I always start by searching programs and combis on the Kronos, but the two Banjo patchs were kinda lame. I built a common Combi for the two songs but just wasn't happy with the banjo samples. On a fluke I was browsing through my Korg Collection M1 VST (that I never use) and found a killer Banjo patch. I layered that in with the Kronos banjo's and really love the mix. Now if I can just get my fingers to play the right picking pattern... 🤥🙄 ~ vonnor

Those Jay Sekulow band vids are pure gold. You gotta check them out if you haven't already. Coverband perfection! ~ vonnor

Polish Zloty 6490 'bout $1480 (All I could find so far)

They had a Fairlight and Synclavier as well.

Some college buddys from Ann Arbor and Toledo turned me on to the place. Not even in business any more.

Canton Michigan. Arnoldt Williams Music. Fantastic place for Keys back in the day.

Free market. Asking price is meaningless if it don't sell. ~ vonnor

Dammit Paul, you beat me to it. My brain wasn't expecting the "Rhodes." ~ vonnor

Can a Mod merge 186724 into this thread please? Since this one has the model name in it. Thanks! ~ vonnor

You're killin' me, Lawson. 😂

Funny thing I kept the receipt for that buy for years and years, but finally cleared it out. Dropped $8800 that day on gear. ~ vonnor

Looks like Wonderland had a brick front. This was definitely a steel-frame warehouse-type building.

Back in '87 or '88 I bought a Memorymoog+, Matrix6, DX7 and a couple other things from this huge music retailer around the north side of Detroit, MI (US) or maybe Ann Arbor? I'm wracking my brain trying to remember the name but I vividly remember the store layout. It was like a giant warehouse in a flat-top business park and the keyboard section was a separate huge room on the right but in the back part of the store. Almost sure it was not a chain but kind of a one-off mom & pop store. Anybody shed light on this? ~ vonnor
