"Rare and useful Pitch to Voltage. Always liked this better than the GE 101, the envelope follower and trigger are particularly good. Pitch tracking is OK, depending on source, good for filter tracking. Odd for EMS this outputs at 1V/octave.
This unit has a nice history coming from EMSA. Nice Afromosa case, bulgin power cable. Vintage unit pushing 50 years old, being sold as-is, as seen."
"The Juno 6 has the nicest sounds of the Juno family. Just add some delay, reverb and a phaser and you are back in the seventies ( Tangerine Dream etc.)"
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools.
There aren’t many software companies whose influence on electronic music is comparable to iconic hardware brands like Roland and Korg - Native Instruments is certainly one of them.
They defined the industry standard for sampling, established in-the-box modular synthesis and made using FM much too easy but today we are going to talk about Massive.
Putting this 2006 wavetable softsynth and primary ghost writer of the first three Skrillex EPs on the show is - quite literally - long overdue as, after the usual venture capitalist fustercluck and discontinuation of Absynth, it can only be a matter of months until this classic plugin stops working properly on contemporary computers.

"Yesterday I received a Roland JD-990 and was completely unimpressed with editing it (compared to the JD-800). I thought 'Why would I want this???' even though I knew it wouldn't be as good to edit. But... wow, I guess folks were right who championed the 990 over the 800. It IS better, in pretty much every conceivable way, except the interface, and the interface itself isn't really that bad once you know what you're doing. Now I will sit here and wonder, knowing how much better the 990 is... do I keep the 800? I could use it as an editor I guess, but that seems unnecessary for the most part. I guess I should try it first and see what I think.
FXM (crossmodulation?) adds some character.
'Structures' on how the tones interact is nice.
Tone panning
Better FX (I can go up to like 3 seconds for delays). Somewhat trivial.
Analog feel (cannot be overstated how much this adds to the sound).
I'm actually considering the 990 to be better than my D50, not too sure about that yet, but I like how the 990 can get much more grit than the 800, through the different tone structures, that it can start being more D50 like.
The biggest problem? The JD-800 ISN'T the JD-990. Roland could have made the ultimate digital synth if they made a keyboard JD-800 that had the 990 guts. I guess I can see why folks own both.
Of course - take all of this with a grain of salt. I did JUST get this synth yesterday and there's a honeymoon phase to every purchase. The only difference here is that I'm fairly familiar with the internal synth engine and I truly expected to be disappointed. But to everyone who bought a 990 and sold their JD-800, I get it.
HAPPY LEAP DAY! I've been going down a bit of a Stylophone rabbit hole lately but I couldn't pass up this vintage treble model. It came with the original box and a lot of memorabilia. This 1970's Stylophone even has the mod which gives it a lower volume setting.
