Hope I can pick this up for under €700.

good luck! is it the one with sampling?

It was yeah. But the seller didn't react to anything.

Did get a mint Maschine for €280,- though. Thought that was a decent price.

Wish you were in the states, could have hooked you up.

Does anyone have any low-end vintage polysynths?

Reckon I might sell off my Doepfer to get a really gritty digital one from the 80s.

Had a DSI Tempest for quite a while now. Forgot about this thread.

It fucking rules. Happy I bought it

i almost got a Tetra last week then decided against it.

Also saw an SH-101 going for £500 if anyones interested. They tend to go for a lot more on eBay.

edit; no apparently thats like standard so nvm.

where's a good place to sell gear aside from forums?

Not fair, ban.

Seriously though, I might get one.. I thought I could get close with Maschine when I set it up right.
Not the same though.

Just nabbed a FMC Really Nice Compressor for 135USD out the door.

Also have you guys heard about the new Korg Volca series http://www.idmforums.com/showthread.php ... 8&page=147 Read this page and to the end of the thread, a lot of pictures and chat about them. Also on Gear Slutz. Some think they might for for Monotribe prices.

If i just wanted a set of rotaries that i could assign to different things on my daw and mess with on the fly, what should i buy?

I think the Novation Zero is an awesome controller. Look at the Akai mini series. I had an Akai LPD8 and the knobs worked great. Nice movement.

ooh the Novation Zero is what I want, bit pricey though. LPD8 does look good. I'm also thinking maybe just going full-fledged and buying a Maschine or something soo I can get some rotaries as well some MIDI pads too... but again, pricey

actually, what's the consensus on the Akai MPD32? its got all of it at first glance...

just bought an Akai AX80 - digi polysynth from the 80s

^ Lend me dat

Maschine is a whole other animal though. I just scored an MK1 for like 300USD some months ago. Easily worth the money. The Maschine work flow is amazing. The software/hardware combo is perfect. I can get lost just writing beats on it. I need to do an all Maschine project some day.

I don't know how it is using Maschine as just a MIDI controller, haven't bothered with that. But honestly if you are just looking for quick and easy knobs and pads the LPD8 isn't terrible. I never got on with the pads much, but used the knobs on the regular.

Maschine has it's own stand alone sequencer program thing, right?

Yes. Maschine's software is damn near a DAW, I haven't tapped into most of it. You could more or less complete projects inside Maschine if you wanted to. Easily a good live performance tool. Can be loaded as a VST or used stand alone. Also you can route up to 8 channels of audio to outs on your interface opening up other live and studio possibilities. If/When I try to put a live something together, it'll be with Maschine.

yeah you could effectively make tunes without a DAW if you've got Maschine.

yeah I know Maschine's on another level fragments, but then again i wanna just become more hardware oriented with my music and it looks like a good place to start really. So sick of just a keyboard and a mouse lol.

and I'll repeat my earlier question, anyone used the AKai MPD32? is it any good?

Yeah mpd32 is a good tool. Not if you have a Maschine though.

Maschine was not really what I was looking for and I'm looking to get away from the computer more.
If you like working with sampling a lot, it's great. But I've been looking for a synth from having Maschine after 1-2 weeks.
Keeping my drums in mschn and redrum though.

I had an MPD24 and the pads were horrible, not sure if they're any better on the 32. The LPD8 is a great little tool and has much better pads than the MPD24 I had. At the price it comes at you can always sell it and upgrade to something else if it isn't giving you what you want.

I got my LPD8 for 50 and sold it for 40 after shipping. Not bad.
