Re: Should I buy...

Yeah but that is the TX802 which is the rackversion of the DX7IID which is different then the TX81Z, super ambient soundtrack machine with unlimited supply of sounds...

I would go for the keyboard version the DX7IID its easier to program

But maybe 150 euros is a better price

Re: Should I buy...

hmmm.... well the price isn't horrible but you could probably do better if you waited.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the 2nd revision DX7 sound- and I had a MkII DX7 for 3 or so years... never quite sounded right to me, no matter what I did - I'd prefer a TX7... or a TX816 with a few modules. or even a TX81z.

...its all about the unison chorus on the II...so creamy and bombastic late 80s soundtrack feel, it vastly expands the capabilities of 6 operator FM http://www.moosleybay.com/schaduw/Sammy … denzee.mp3
and you can get like silk Solina-esque strings and VP330 and quite decent mellotron-esque emulations...
you ain't gonna get that with a normal DX7...

ah I love all DX's still want a DX5 one day those are "reachable"

Re: Should I buy...

well, I have to admit, I never tried it for soundtrack stuff.... or strings or choir sounds.
:-)

I just found bass and leads never sounding 100% of what i expected from it

Re: Should I buy...

Someone locally is selling a Yamaha EX5R for best offer. What should I throw at this? If I already have a Waldorf Q is this worth it? It looks like a good deal if I can get it cheap enough but it also seems like it might be kinda boring and lame.

What about the EX5R? I could probably get it for $200.

Re: Should I buy...

yeah man  thats fucking cheap! Its like one of those modern super synths with rompler, v.a. (AN1X model) pyshical modelling stuff and sequencers etc.etc.etc. You can't go wrong with one of those things in your studio

Re: Should I buy...

Yeah the more I read the more I like. I've shied away from workstations because they seem to try to do too much without being really good at anything . But I don't really have a workstation synth (motif, triton, trinity) of any kind so it will probably be very useful in my rig. I like that it's a rack too. I don't need more keys.

The guy emailed me last night and said he'd be cool with it. Just wondered whether we would do paypal or COD.

I emailed him back but haven't heard anything yet. Maybe I'll re-email him. I like the AN1X samples I've heard.

Re: Should I buy...

Bought. Payment by paypal sent. Look forward to working with it when it gets here. Looks like it'll be a lot of work but will pay off. And like I said. I don't have anything else like this.

Re: Should I buy...

siht guys, I finally found an additional voice board for my OB-Mx, but the seller (from japan) wants 1000$...
He can keep it, the whole box is valued that much these days... But I really hope to find at least one at a decent price...

sorry to bother with this, but I was so happy when I saw one for sale and so sad the very moment I saw the price tongue

That's nice that you got it. When I saw that Tony put that up last night I thought "I hope Alex sees that by morning."
