jp8000 : can you please tell us more details ? I see a CS2x, no ? AND THE JP8000
Andy : great studio How is the Raven ? Is it possible to have demos of the WX11 ?

The synth on the top is CS2x. I don't know what is under him.

sure.

Keyboards/modules:I have yamaha cs2x, Yamaha psr320, Korg EA1, (no jp8000, but I want one someday)

software: Zero G:s nostalgia and Cakewalk sonar homestudio 4 XL
and couple free vst-instruments

On the shopping list, somekind of audio interface (with midi connectors)

Ah, that's PSR320? Looks really different to PSR240 I had a few years ago...

Thanks... but it's not as great as this studio...

The Raven is cool and I never would sell it. The sounds are of course not top of the notch but the Raven has its (his ) possibilities - especially for dancefloor/techno music, but also for ambient and old school. Unfortunately Quasimidi went into bankruptcy some years ago.

The sounds of the Yamaha WT 11 (that's the tone generator for the Wind Controller) are not good. I use the WT 11 via MIDI mostly with the Roland XP 30 because of its orchestral sounds like flute, clarinet, saxophone and so on. As a child I had some years musical education on flute but I have my difficulties to play the wind controller properly. Therefore I haven't any demonstrations for you.

CU, Andy

OMG, what a studio he has
I love the design of the Raven, it's not as expensive as newer synths (500€ with Max). I'll try to find demos

The WT11 and WX11 are JMJ's, no ?

It's a really cool studio... with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound! This year I will visit him again and he will give some demonstrations of his new project...

Yes, used Ravens have usually moderate prices. The case is made of metal and the sideframes are made of wood. Very good!

The WT11 and WX11 are JMJ's, no ?

No, JMJ uses the WX 5 I suppose... it's much better (but also much more expensive) as the WX 11.

CU, Andy

Thanks for your answer
What's the best Ed Starink album ?
JMJ said the Raven was low to understand in midi, is that still true ?
Ah yes, he uses the WX5, sorry

It's just gathering dust... a fine example of what Jote was saying on the other forums. It just doesn't make sense, all thos racks and synths, even a fairlight, but all sounds come from an XP30 or something...

Maybe he collect all of these synths

He is a cleaner.

(i used to be one once)

A cleaner sell synths he cleaned after, no ? He makes it to make money, no ? Or so, he is a collect-man
