Hi @ all.
I thought that I'd share a small demo of the Realistic MG-1 that i threw together this morning. I've just had it serviced and asked the guy who fixed it change the I/O from RCA to 1/4 tele. I also had the input routed through the filter and the output slightly boosted.
The demo features a simple drumloop played through the filter and then tweaked as it was playing. All other sounds are MG-1, multitracked into Record. I don't have any sequencer to run it with atm so everything is played by hand, thus it might be a bit untight. The song obviously features some effects like reverb, delay and a touch of chorus on the basses.
You can listen to the track here. It's also possible to download the track in case the player doesn't work for you.
MG-1 Sampler
Phono RCA unbalanced inputs were usually fed by the outputs of a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge. Thus, these inputs usually have a built-in RIAA preamp that provides the EQ & gain required for the phono-level signal to return it to a proper line-level signal.
I don't know if the MG-1 Sampler RCA inputs have the preamp but its possible. Just food for thought regarding the EQ & gain.

I think the Realistic MG-1 used Tape RCA (if that matters). As far as I know the new 1/4 tele input is connected directly to the filter with a small resistor component attached to it. The changes applied to my MG-1 should be similar if not the same as described here: http://www.unitywaves.com/index.php?opt ... &Itemid=33DeFrag wrote:Phono RCA unbalanced inputs were usually fed by the outputs of a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge.
