Thunders is sweeet.
ReplyDeleteI was biddin, but stopped at 2050. I was about to input 2500 bucks, but figured a new Power Mac would be a better spend.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm buchla-less. I just traded my Marimba Lumina 2.5.
Sniff... Anyone selling a Marimba Lumina 2.5?
(actually, I do have a Buchla t-shirt)
With no Buchla, you are now doktor history.
ReplyDeleteboo hoo it's true!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder, how much of a repertoire is there for this?
ReplyDelete2nd chance offers, anyone? the winning bidder flaked. and if the doctor doesn't want it i definantly do
ReplyDeleteDoktor - what'd you think of your marimba, they do seem nice but I work with modulars and don't use poly sound modules/kybds
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get another ML 2.5 I think. I really enjoyed it. It worked well with my modular, esp. since it has different colors of mallets, and each can output on another MIDI channel. The encore expressionist made easy work of this, so you can imagine one mallet sets filter levels, detunes, LFO speeds, etc... Rather amazing really. Also, say you strike the mallet down and hold it on the sensor -- you can drag it up and down for pitch-bend or other controller. It's also senses your strike velocity in an entirely different way than a keyboard. I have a MIDI Thru, and found that the ML 2.5, the Continuum Fingerboard, and a Midi Keyboard all sounded strikingly different even though the same patch was set up on the modular. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped to snag that Thunder on the bay, but it went for about 500 more than I expected. I got a good deal on my ML 2.5, and the trade was very 'red paperclippy', so now it's just to wait for another. Hopefully at a good price.
If I had an opportunity, I'd even get a bigger ML.
The winning bidder didn't flake. In fact, he paid instantly. And he's a good guy. I'm glad that thing is finding a good home. It fell into my hands quite by chance a while ago & I felt guilty for never using it. What can I say, I'm addicted to 35-year-old capacitance-sensitive touch plates.
ReplyDeleteYou go out of town for a couple days & look what happens...
