howdy mixters-
thanks for the site and the feedback 1st of all- lovin what I hear here (hear,hear!) I spent many hours doing my thing with an M1 and EZVision on my Mac LC and thought I was bangin, (psss…) but anyway the M1 and even EZVision had features I miss in my setup today (all kits pitch-bendable, select key velocity in piano roll and change by %). Any long-lost old-school gear you miss? |

There was definitely a nice in-your-face crunchiness to the first Ensoniq Mirages that I had no idea that I would miss. You can definitely recreate the sound (bit reduction, heavy limiting, analog filter models, etc.), but I still miss them. *And*, a Mutron II - god, that thing was such an unpredictable piece - but what a sound.

I must admit that my only legacy instrument 25 years ago was a chromaharp, and my electric autoharp is nearly as cool as it was back then.

we need to do a duet of melodica and electric autoharp..I’ll send you a few samples..umm…Rasta or Toots stylee?
|

.
A duet would be great!
As a favor, could you send me a single note, a C or an A, say, played in sustain on your melodica? A little wav flie would be great, 3 to 7 seconds of sustained one note! Thanks! I always need synth samples, and little woodwind work well. I’ll pull out my electric autoharp,and let’s see if we can’t have some fun. |

Hey duckman, I just posted something in the DIY forum about this. You should pick up an M1 from eBay, join the retro-M1 club ;)
I used to own a Cheetah sampler, which was a kind of Akai for cheapskates lol :) 512KB RAM, loaded everything from FDD. Maybe we should have a retro kit collab, where we’re only allowed to use kit which is more than 20 years old…urm, but I’m not giving up my broadband lol :D |

ok, so how about this for cool. I forgot to mention that in with the price came an Atari ST520 and the mono green screen. I have two floppy disks, one of which is the Korg M1 librarian and editor the other I haven’t even tried yet, but it appears to be some kind of patches disk for the M1.
Ooo it’s like lost treasure! lol :D So get the rack fixed and join the club ;) |

I wouldnt suggest those Cheetah.
I would suggest a Mirage,or EMU III. EMU III the best sampler ever.very rare,may you can have a rack version. I found just now IIIXP for 60 pound:D I own my EMU II+(i am a huge DM fan since 85:D)so that was my wish. Alan Wilder still use it EMU II and that filters just beat everything…(ah and 8 bit LO-FI!:D) |
