If you're missing pads, pianos and strings, then Roland XV - 128-voice piano with the SRV Piano card (and you can use your synth card in it too, depending on model). Can't the A90 be given cards to make it into a synth, or was that just the older JV50/80 expansion card and/or the older A-series cont...

For someone working in Logic with soft synths For someone not overly attached to modern or old-school kit For someone who wants an analogue sound... Access Virus Ti. It's not analogue, but there's something about the modeling that "feels" more analogue than, say, the SuperNova. It'll integ...

Really daft question but... CP/VX woods...

I have a mahogany/fire MMV, and I got my first expander... The wood is the standard one - Ash? It doesn't match. If I had one of the more dramatic - electric blue or the pale finished - MMVs, I think I'd wanted a matched wood "connector" between the VX and CP modules, which makes me wonder...

I'd like to hook up the square wave/LFO to the gate input, then sample the output, and then trigger it back through the audio in. I'm not sure what good it would do though. I'm trying to reduce the amount of clutter and kit in my studio in favour of "stuff I know works well".

Vesta Kozo DIG-420 "Sampling Delay" - CV...

In my pile of "bits I rarely use" I have a Vesta Kozo DIG-420. It's a sampling delay unit, 1U rack, with CV/Gate inputs and a 1 second, 7.5KHz sample rate. Has anyone messed with one of these (or even heard of one) before? I'm wondering if I can use it to do anything creative with the Moog...

The buggy bit was a fear I had with the Andromeda. It looked too good to be true. I know about the voice assignment, but I was already looking at the Moog when I was trying it, and you know which way that decision went! I'm basically trying to decide if I should sell my Supernova II and get an Acces...

Id go for the ANdromeda as well, my cousin owned one and fr0om what I gather they seem to be on par with some of the better synths out there, Voyager, and the DSI Prophet. The thing with analogue modelling is that you get HUGE polyphony. Virus is what, 80 voices now? And you have all the envelopes ...

Frankensynth? Two PPG Wave 2.3s with analogue filters and the Waveterm "updated" to an onboard display and modern storage, retaining the 12-bit sound though, and perhaps joystick mixer; quadrophonic outputs with an azimuth co-ordinator allowing on the fly surround. But I have a V-Synth XT,...

The XT has the time trip pad - it's just doubled with the touchscreen, so you tap "Control" and get a graphic X-Y pad or a Time Trip pad. And of course since it's an XT, I got a D-50-in-a-rack to replace the D-550/PG-1000 I sold, and a Vocoder that seems a touch easier to use than the one ...

Well, I did - eventually - make a decision - the MIDI aspect of my stuff was getting a bit hairy given the lack of useful tools, and the Pulse + was more susceptible to stuck notes than the rest of the gear. So when I spotted a V-Synth XT for a sensible price with "swaps considered", I mad...

Going modular! Also Editor/Librarian 3.4.1 and Mac OS X 10.5

I just bought the VX 351 and rackmounting kit for my Voyager - will I be able to to make many interesting things with it before I have a CP-251 or any other modules? Also, I'm having problems with the Editor/Librarian under Mac OS X 10.5.6 and the new 3.4.1 update of the software. My Moog has 3.4 fi...

Keep my Waldorf Pulse, or is it redundant?

I've been somewhat of a GAS victim since 2000 - what started as a hobbyist tiny set of keyboards became a criminally wasted set of retro hardware and an OTT mixer/computer rig that I could never use. Part of that setup was, initially, a Moog Rogue that was picked up for a trivial amount of money wit...
