OK, here's my contribution, "Lucky Man" Keith Emerson, "Swanky" from the Eno album "The Drop" anything by Joe Zawinul, all the sounds on "Sonic Seasonings" by Wendy Carlos ! come to think of it, anything by Wendy Carlos !! my interest in music is due to Wendy Carlos !!! :!:

Take care !

Hi, I have tried lot's of VHS VCR's for recording, but without success, I have always got lots of clicks and glitches, don't know why, the machines that I bought were by Panasonic, and always top of the range (£600-£900) with manual level meters. A friend has a couple of Sony PCM F1 machines ...

Well, I guess you should use what you think you need to realise your music, don't copy anyone, that's the first step to some sort of original sound, the second most important one is talent ! (or should that be the first ?)
I use very little, my main recorder is a cheap PhillipsCD writer, my second ...

Hi Goldphinga, you are right, we are all right ! we have to go with what suites us, I am happy now I have a bit of my past back, and it does a job that nothing else I own can do. I guess thats it. A modular Moog would have been better, but hey, I am not that rich, yet ! I have to meet the man of my ...

Hi, I don,t agree about the sound of the Voyager, I have a Moog that was built out of component's that were manufactured 30 years ago, this has nothing to do with the Voyager. Original Mini Moog components, circuit boards etc are a world away from what Moog are using today, that is the electronic ...

Sorry I have not kept you posted about my exploits, computer crashed and I had to re-format, now you know why I hate them ! Loads of things to catch up on regarding the internet etc but was offline for ages fixing things !
I got some bugs called googlemsn and coolsearch, they are difficult to erase ...

Hi, yes, I am going to have the Voyager on loan for a week, I used to work for a hire compnay, and I am going to arrange the hire of a Mini Moog for a couple odays as well, that should be interesting, but I suppose I shouldnt really think of the Voyager as just another Mini clone, as it is a ...

Hi goldphinga, I was interested in buying a Voyager, as I said in my original post's. Modular synths, in my opinion, will never be out of date, witness the trend for increasing demand, and new manufacturers are springing up all the time. The fact is that you can achieve lots more with them, and they ...

Hi LWG, sorry if my post was a bit confusing, I didn't mean to mention the Voyager in the context of your post, it was just a general coment that I just didn'y want to buy one, my writing is a bit scatty sometimes, as you may well have noticed ! As for recording synths, well, I dont think that your ...

Hi LWG, blimey, I didn't realise I was so controvercial ! look, I don't want a Voyager, end of story, if I was a millionare and money was no object I would get one just for the hell of it, but I'm not, so that's that.
The set up I have at the moment covers all bases, from my A-Station to my Pro5 to ...

Hi Qwave, he was having a laugh, I think ! he has virtual analogue stuff so! I have a Novation A Station, and I am always surprised at how you can get it to sound very analogue, it certainly has speaker blowing potential if you program it right. My friend has a K-Station, and that is such a fun ...

Hi Demokid, thanks for the info, I didnt see that module !
I was talking to one of the guys in my band, he is a bit of an analogue fan, and agreed with me about the sound of the Voyager, he also said "it was a computer with knobs on, any synth with preset's cant be called analogue" his words not ...

Hi Martin, just had a look at the site, looks good, a bit on the expensive side maybe. I live in the UK, but the pound is strong at the moment, so that may make a difference. They certainly look well made, and have all the right bits in all the right places ! plus, they look cool !!
The only other ...

Hi Martin, totally agree with what you say, I will check out the link, sounds interesting. Yeah, all keyboards are interesting in thier own way, workstaions, analogue, digital etc, all have thier uses, but when the gear becomes the focus of attention the music takes a back seat, that is unacceptable ...

Hi Quave, well, I found the Voyager hard to navigate, not one bit as easy as the Mini, I know it has a lot more features, but it didn't seem logical, and it was confusing to say the least, I certainly did not notice any random wave shapes making themselves noticable ! I guess its back to the old ...
