When the unfathomable mysteries of the DX7 do become all too much, it does make for a wicked midi keyboard though!

- Enjoy the nice keybed

- Break your back lifting / moving it
- Run it through some fx

That headphone out is bloody awful, isnāt it.
The rest of it is pretty tidy though, my wife (an actual piano player) is currently going apeshit on a synclav preset. Iāve a feeling this might be my first synth purchase that she actually likes.

I have mine set up running into a mixer with an Analog Drive on the aux send for dirtying it up, especially the organ sounds.

Ooof! Study the midi implementation and hook up an elektron. Go bonkers.

This week I got a Kodamo EssenceFM as well as a Verbos Amp&Tone. Both are fantastic so far. Incoming are an Intellijel 1U Multi FX and an Alesis Midiverb 2

Itās a weird feeling this. Iāve had that heavy moāfoā for so longā¦ Loved herā¦ Hated herā¦ And now sheās gone!
I know itās only gear, but itās the end of an era.
@Fin25 Iām genuinely chuffed to bits your Mrs. is feeling it as well. It makes all the difference when you know sheās gone to a loving home (Ermentrude ((The DX7)) not your wife)
Iām becoming pathetic. Bed ways is right ways now. Dooby-doo.

always been a big fan of the big, boomy sound of no mic hole in the front bass drum head. itās tricky to get right in a mix, and obviously your/the bandās sound has to be right for it. but when you hit the sweet spot it is fantastic. that said: if your sound calls for it, little beats the direct sound of a mic inside the bass drum.
as an aside: I have a friend who once set up to play a show with no hole in his bass drumās front head. after sound check, the venueās sound guy wasnāt quite happy with the bass drum sound. so once the band had stepped away, he jumped onto the stage and proceeded to use a cup as a stencil and traced a razor blade around it into the front head. the drummer noticed, and had to be held back from fisticuffs.

Depends on the drum. Depends on what sound you want.
Putting a mic in the hole is a by product of the primary reason for the hole, which is to maintain tone, but reduce the sustain and increase the attack.
Thats a Sleishman kit, so with no hole, the bass drum is 18 inch, and resonates a ridiculous amount, like, stupid. So for this particular drum I like a hole, and no dampening anywhere. Dampening kills tone. I play everything Everything wide open.
Yeah, you dont mess with someoneās kit. Ever.

I was just wondering how long that would take to get stolen if you were living in my area.

Kind of like the concept of having a dedicated transition fx synth. For normal Iāll program my own (mainly with massive) or just go through loopcloud. This way I hope to easily get that out of the way. And the price (14.99) is alright. I see this mainly as a tool to speed up the process.
Anybody else have this that would like to share their experience on it?

The latest additions. The Jomox Resonator is nasty and will pair very well with the Lyra8 for some dark drone sounds. Iām using it more as a sound source with the feedbacks than as an effect. And in combination with the space echo and the H9 you can make some nice ambient sounds without even using a synth. And I just ordered a patchbay to have some flexibility in fx routing as I only have 2 ins and outs on my mixer left for effects and a simple chain isnāt always the best solution.

A11. Youāll select A11 and then automatically be transferred to 80s power ballad territory.
That patch, including branches of it into sibling products, was the star of 1/3 of all top 100 billboard tracks during a decade.
