To hijack even further into the realm of tuning, there is of course no reason why electronic instruments need to be shackled to equal temperament anymore. Yamaha thought a bit ahead and included the ability to use a custom tuning in later-generation FM modules (buried of course deep within their tra...

Hi. I have just obtained a Digidesign Session 8 (the ancestor of the Digi 001, from the mid 90s). I'm currently scrounging for parts to get it running ( my computer is way too modern to handle this) but I was wondering if anyone out there using this or any similarly obsolete DAW setup: I've seen som...

I'd like to jump on the drinking bandwagon as well.

Slacker in Pittsburgh (South Side).

Im very attached to mine, though I haven't played with an Esq-1 (I plan to get one next). I dont think its the most versatile synth since every patch still sounds like the Dw-8000 to me, but the sounds it has are good. While we are talking repairs: The display for the parameter value has started to ...

I did it in my high school days, and the amp (JCM 900) survived. I think though, you might not get very good results: besides the excessive distortion and feedback, we never got it to sound lound enough to be intelligible: it was a dirt cheap mic, and maybe there was some kind of impedance problem. ...

Mr. Hoof (or whatever) - you posted some good links right as I was going to - sorry if this is redundant: I was looking at the manual (which amazes me in its detail), and basically its a pair of allpass filters. You guys that are talking about delay/comb filtering have the right idea, but what the a...

Its open source, and will probably run on anything you have.

Have you guys seen them live yet? I had no idea who they were and somehow ended up at one of their shows in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago, and was quite amazed. Very awesome, the songs.

I got my little brother one for christmas (the two-humbucker strat copy). I think its an ok guitar especially for the price, but even my Squires are better guitars. What I liked about the guitar was that there were no big deficencies, the electronics were decently solid, sound ok, and are not noisy....

I too think Carcass was pretty cool, though I dont own any of their stuff yet. The early, more gridcore stuff interests me because its so over-the-top extreme, and the later stuff i think if it had come from any other band would be praised by the same people who like swedish metal. I esp like "Keep ...

I found a couple of threads on gearslutz forums from the guy who is selling it here and here which offers a tiny bit of insight into why he built this, before collapsing into a fight about Jesus.

Yes, please let us know if this guitar is cool or not if you look at one. Ive been thinking about getting one of their guitars for a while to replace my acoustic, but i keep getting distracted by cheap solidbody electrics.

Im not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but Godin makes a nylon string / fretless guitar. http://www.godinguitars.com/godinmultnylonfretlessp.htm. Ive never used any of their stuff, but I think they've got a bit of a cult following among jazzers and the like.

Amazing. I was about to post a thread of my own about this, after I noticed in the liner notes to Sugar's "File Under Easy Listening" a note that it was not mono compatible. So I hit the mono button on my stereo, and some highs dropped off the drums, but then I tried a few bigger rock records and wa...
