just a bit of a strange question perhaps, but JP... can you stand up and play these synths? Or do you have to sit down in your wheelchair all the time?

There is nothing odd in your question, but I can stand very short time <msybe 10 secs>, so most of the time I'm in the wheelchair.

(but playing is done from the wheelchair, or another chair, which I rarely use)

The only mod a DX7 should have is a sledgehammer through it...

So how many synths do you own now Radek??

[radek tymecki]

hmmmm i sold few... but now errrr an1x, d50 + pg1000, jd800, monopoly, polysix [highly modified], vsynth with vc1 and vc2, 310u, minipops7, jv2080 + hiphop + vintage + orchestral + 60s&70s, cs30, dx7, ob-8, raven max

that's all i think

well and unfinished modular



i stopped building it for some time coz i'm waitin for 2sc1583 etc

@ Radek - A bit offtopic but I saw you pulled the trigger on the V-Synth. Initial thoughts??? I'm thinking about a XT but they are still up there is cost. Your modular is going to be an absolute beast when complted BTW! On topic mode - engaged

[b.blues]

Hi all, fascinating reading about all your gear. Must have cost some of you a bomb, esp for all the vintage stuff some of you have.
I have a modest set up myself.

Novation K-synth(Great for doing solo sections on Oxygene and Equinoxe)
JP8000
MS2000
Nord Lead 2
Waldorf xtk
Yamaha rm1x sequencer(AMAZING replication of korg mini pops sounds)
Spirit folio 8 channel mixer

I used to have a PC running Cubase Audio, but it died on me.

Im thinking of buying a digital multitracker and running it from usb onto a laptop for burning onto CD etc.
Will have to save up tho

Love the Homemade Theremin,Will Look awesome when its finished


Roland JV2080???Any good??I've been looking into either a JV1080 OR THE 2080 Modules,They seem to be a good buy given the recent prices,I'm trying to get one with the Vintage card

[radek tymecki]

yup, pretty nice module my fav cards are 60s&70s and vintage. many samples can be found on synthmania.com

[Nico_Noyau]

Oh yeah the XP/JV/XV modules are excellent !!

I have the XP80, JV80 and JV880, and lotsa cards in them (Techno, D&B, Orchestral, HipHop & Vintage).
Nowadays, I use almost all the time the XP80, it has near 1200 patches with the 4 cards !!
