"From Sonic State: 'Screaming monophonic leads are possible, but this synth produces also the coolest and heaviest bass sounds, and also has that famous JMJ-strings. Killer synth.'From Sound On Sound magazine: 'The MX3000 was Multivox's finest hour. With bass, poly, and lead sections, an ensemble effect, and a phaser, it falls into the same 'multi-keyboard' camp as the ARP Quadra…
'The bass section offered three basic sounds, with three contour types, each with variable release. The lead synth consisted of a traditional VCO/VCF/VCA signal path plus an LFO and, despite its apparent limitations, it produced some interesting sounds. Nevertheless, the polyphonic section held the most promise. This offered eight editable voices, of which three (piano, harpsichord and honky-tonk) were velocity-sensitive.
'Given the similarities to the Quadra, it makes you wonder how much of the MX3000 was copied from ARP's ideas or designs. Keep an eye out for the MX3000. If you find one and don't want it, I'll buy it…'"
Hey. How's it going? My friend actually found one of these recently and he gave it to me to see if I can figure it out. I was able to get half the keyboard to work, which I assume is Channel 1, as well as the whole Third Channel, but The rest of the keyboard, which I assume is Channel 2 does absolutely nothing. I googled MX-3000 to see what I could find about it. I was wondering if maybe you knew anything about how to wire the whole thing up?
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, I also just bought one, channels 1 and 4 do not work, I have even missing those modules inside, but it has all the controls, I was thinking of adapting some technology to make it work, in my case it works correctly the Channel 2 and 3, if you are interested we can see if I send you images of mine to see how it is connected and thus make yours work, in the same way I would like to see how yours is connected to understand how the pieces are missing and reconstruct them, since I have not found a diagram or something similar on this synthesizer in the network.
