VCRs as in the thing you play VHS on? Are you looking at really decent old toploaders or ones actually used professionally or something because I've always paid fuck all for the ones I have (and I've got 5)

Seriously. I used to use them on drums sometimes. I threw two in the garbage in the past six months because no one would take them for free off the porch/lawn even with a giant FREE sign.

Went around a few thift stores today, didn't have any! Looking online on amazon and such, can't find any for <100. Will have to try gum tree and that.

Man....VHS must have stuck around longer around these parts. Its probably not worth it, but I know I could got to a thrift shop tomorrow and buy you five of them...shipping them to the UK couldn't possibly be worth it though. Also FYI...try to get one with the remote...a lot of budget ones you can't get to all the functions you need w/o the remote...that's why I've gone through a fair few lost/busted remotes...

I probably have a couple up in the attic but I really haven't got the effort to go up there and dig through a whole life time worth of junk only to find the one I put up there is dead and I just forgot.

Its just weird.. Want to get a Juno60 or a Mini Moog? No problems! theres 20 for sale.

Want a blood VHS player just to dirty up a bit of audio? Good luck m8.

ain't that the truth... remember there was probably a time when people were throwing out Juno60s and Mini Moogs...I've heard a couple guys on gearslutz talk about throwing out their Tape Echos when 80's digital delays came out...like straight into the garbage because digital delay was so magical

If it is the chip, yeah can drop one in. But there are so many (not that many, but still) components in a voice circuit.

I think it means I'm sending it back.

We'll see if seller's insurance will cover repairs.

I really really REALLY love this synth. I've played it for a day, and I just love it. It sounds just RIGHT. Like I don't have to do ANYTHING to it. It just sounds just exactly like I want it. OMG. I have spent SO much time fucking up vst synths. This is it. Press the key I get exactly the sound I want. Writing/arranging/mixing with this thing is/was/may be so f'ing easy.

I've now heard Diva. Have not in ANY way heard the range of it, but from what I've heard, it doesn't come within a mile of the liveliness of the six-trak, which is itself the lowest end Sequential Circuits there is, maybe there is a lower. I've never understood the Prophet 5 adoration, cause I've never really listened to one. Like Sequential was never on my radar. I think I understand it now.

It has taken me so long to figure this out. It's really embarrassing. I understand now.

In my experience with using vcrs for audio, they clean up audio. Like they're really transparent but do produce just a touch of the organic. I would run my microkorg through it. But mine doesn't work unless it is hooked up to a tv. Like you know the engineers spent a lot of time and money making the vcr not work unless it is hooked up to a tv... BUT WHY YOU COCK SMOKERS?

TRIPLE NWJ PLAY

I've found when you need a vcr, there are absolutely 0 anywhere around you, but people are selling for more than the new cost. When you don't need one, people are using them as bricks to build their riverside shanties.

Honestly, I gotta say my next purchase will probably be an analog poly...but it'll be a modern one...I'm not willing to fuck around with this shit...I'm sure it sounds amaze balls...but...I just wanna make tunes dude...bummer... : (

mks · Post by **mks** » Fri Mar 06, 2015 6:05 am

I've spent hundreds maintaining my analogs...

You know I'm into the p08, prolly the best/most accessible modern analog poly. And it's a real ambition of mine to get one. But. I know with the p08 you've got to work to make it organic. And honestly, I've got a virus, and it is the same thing, you can get it to sound pretty amazing, but it is work. You've got to program for life. With the six-trak, you just press the key... and it is living, breathing, it has a beating heart.

So, yeah, at the worst time, I may have really gotten into vintage analog.

But honestly the Volca Bass is alive too. So it's all good.

I'd rather put the work in than repair or pay to repair shit. Apples and oranges, but its all fruit.

nowaysj · Post by **nowaysj** » Fri Mar 06, 2015 6:32 am

Yeah, I'm totally the opposite, or am becoming totally the opposite. I just want to make music, I don't want to spend time making my instruments sound good. The sound itself, here, is so inspirational. I literally just touch the thing, and lines just start pouring out.

Forgot why I came over here. For the UK'zers:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331492614837? ... rmvSB=true

A fun vintage analog monosynth for a reasonable price. It is dco, but there is some magic to the osc, they did something weird, like the dco affects a voltage control that affects the oscillator.

This is a funny pic from the UK.

Some of your prices are low over there, matey-0's.
