I agree.Well I have one and only source for Juno 60 and Virus B but the problems is I dont have the money now since I gotta recover from paying my Micron, anyway I highly sugest Juno 60 and virus B if u can find that..Carnage what should be min and max price for juno and virus second-hand?
and I didnt try that other synth but I heard ms2000 and it sounds good..
max price for juno 60, I would say 400-450EUR. 400 would be a fair price but they can sometimes be found cheaper.
For Virus B.. hmm I don't really know, but I wouldn't pay more than 600EUR.
Don't bother min. prices
The ms2000 is a good synth, yes, but for some reason I just never liked Korgs sound too much, I think ms2000 sound a bit too thin in the higher frequencies. But that's just my taste.

The whole question about sequencers seems to be very individual. For me Live is the most intuitive program but cubase may be just as good. Live though, has an approach to recording music that's pretty different from the other great ones, and I guess it's really a love it or hate thing
-
In the lastest ver. of Live, midi recording has been immensely upgraded and is now fully satisfying (at least for me).I've used Cubase since VST 5.0 and Live since 2.0 and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I personally find Live to be kind of a pain in the ass to work with when it comes to creating and recording midi parts but outside of that I like it. As it stands now I tend to use Live for playing live and writing tracks while I am "on the road" so to speak (I don't like to carry my Cubase dongle around outside of the studio), but the tracks started in Live always get rendered and shipped over to Cubase to be finished. I jut find Cubase to just be easier to write in somehow, but that's just me.
I really love Live so that would be my choice, but having them both indeed be nice

If you really want a polysix, you should check out Korg Legacy collection.
If you are looking for an affordable used synth I would say Roland Juno 60/106 or SH-101. (But don't pay too much - 400EUR at max). And don't pay too much for the ms2000 either.. It's good nut nothing special
For trance music the most used synths are probably Juno 60/106 or Clavia Nordlead (2/2x) and they are all good for starting too. The latter is probably the best of all the synths mentioned here and can even be found for a decent price, so look out for that one too!
-
Have you tried it?? I don't think so...Man u are making me jelous.. The guy from whom I bought my Micron had that ms2000 and one oberheim and I seriously recommend it, forget that new roland and buy korg if u can, its a great synth but maybe not for beginners..
And no I didnt look for the shops but will post if I find any..
Here is something synthmuseum
-
That's a generous offer, but I think you'll be the first to understand why I'm gonna keep it. I shall keep you in mind if it should be relevant though.
And no, these are not bought from eBay nor the internet at all. I found them in a record store which had just got a nice load of old trance goodies in. I was shown them in their stock before anyone else, and the rest is still not for sale in the actual shop.. They are usually quite expensive, I guess they just don't know too much about goa trance, though they're experts in most other genres. So I guess it's a bit of goldmine I've found there..
-
Yeah I guess it must be one of the very best synths out there these days.I don't see a lot about Dave Smith Instruments, but I thought I'd let anyone know who doesn't how awesome their new PolyEvolver keyboard is. Unfortunately, it's a hell of a lot more expensive than the Evolver tabletop synth.
Head to your local Banjo Center and see if they have it (that's where I played it).
And Btw the MonoEvolver is also now available as keyboard. Yes it's mono but with four osc's and so damn many modulation options, it's insane how much you can get from a single note...

Juno-D has is a sort of all-in-one synth with a lot of features you may never use when it comes to trance. It's also short of knobs and is more based on using the many sounds included rather than experiment and creating your own, and I don't think the sounds are directed for trance music. Still it may be good and with some creativity it may be useful for trance too, there're just other synths better suited for that.
The SH-201, on the other hand, has a build-up that seems perfect for both a starting synth and for making trance. I haven't heard it yet but if it lives up the SH name, you can expect very good sound, so check it out.
Edit: So all in all I guess Juno-D is a good starting "how to play and work with a synth", where SH-201 is more a "how to create and experiment with sounds" synth (which is more or less the most basic thing in making trance)

OMGWell, Fairway Records is hardly unknown... They released a lot of gems in the heyday of goa trance... Including your classic compilation!
Those guys at Fairway really knew how to make a great goa comp.And they were actually so oldschool that they released some of the titles on casette..
Strange how they could remain hardly unknown but maybe they were more known in France
Thanx for the info, and btw how is the track "King of Death Posture"?? (I assumed you know it")
-
It's always hard to know what to expect from Koxbox. They have probably been the most unpredictlible artist, as all their releases (incl. Psychopod) have been very different in sound and style from their earlier releases as from anything else.. The only thing I didn't like was Phutures and options - all other is genius...
-
How cool
but I do think I'm going to hang on to Synthetic flesh anyway; such a masterpiece..I had no expectations to that CyberTrance thing but goddamn it's great as I'm listening to it right now.. A mixed thing from an unknown french label.. Seems to truly be a gem from '95
-
-
The greatest artist name:
SUBCOUDS (misspelling of "subcodes" by a swedish girl)
There're many great track names but for one:
Green Nuns - "THUNDER THIGHS"

Today I've just expanded my collection with some old goodies. I'm a poor man so I spend more than I could afford but I couldn't help it...
Here it goes:
(prices in euros)
Doof - "Let's turn on" (CD) (20e)
Technossomy - "Synthetic Flesh" (CD) (17e)
Technossomy - "V.T.O.L (full length version)" (CDs) (10e)
X-Dream - "Radio" (CD) (10e)
V/A - TIP.WORLD. "Divi:nations" (CD) (10e)
V/A - Goa Gil. "Ceiba. kode IV @ Burning Man" (CD2) (17e)
V/A - "CyberTrance" (CD2) (10e)
All titles are in very good or NM condition.
I don't have a clue about prices, so please tell me if this is a good buy. Thank you
And btw - "Cybertrance" may sound like a cheezy comp. but it's almost purely great artists (Hallucinogen, Green nuns, T.I.P., Synchro and so on) from 1995..

A reason to break up, I think... You must've loved her a lot not to...They were all together in the same box, don't know what she was thinking, while cleaning up home, she found the box and threw it away...almost unbelievable, but it really happened.
Anyway I really appreciated your help.
I have some dark psy stuff to give away if you're interested, I'm in old classic, dark psy and 1999-2000 psy trance.

Koxbox:
"Insect"
"Pipfugl"
"Tokyo Nights"
just a few...

I've been writing several projects about postmodernity at uni and I might have something to contribute with here... Anyway, for now it's just a minor thing: When you say postmodernism you mostly refer to the art, while postmodernity primarily refers to the theories of science (psychology, sociologi and so on)I'm currently reading a lot about postmodernism (as part of a course I'm taking at the uni) and I find it very likely that the (re)discovery of psychedelics in the 1950s has played an important role in the development of postmodernism.
If you're unfamiliar with postmodernism some of its key features are (taken from Wikipedia):
* A continual skepticism towards the ideas and ideals of the modern era, especially the ideas of progress, objectivity, reason, certainty & personal identity, and grand narrative in general (see Counter-Enlightenment)
* The belief that all communication is shaped by cultural bias, myth, metaphor, and political content.
* The assertion that meaning and experience can only be created by the individual, and cannot be made objective by an author or narrator.
* Parody, satire, self-reference, and wit.
* Acceptance of a mass media dominated society in which there is no originality, but only copies of what has been done before.
* Globalization, a culturally pluralistic and profoundly interconnected global society lacking any single dominant center of political power, communication, or intellectual production. Instead, the world is moving towards decentralization in all types of global processes.
I would be very happy if anyone could point me in the right direction, that is articles or books about psychedelics and their influence on postmodern thought. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hey Collin can't we buy OOOD things directly from you?

Don't remember excactly who but I've read it in several interviews in different magazines. Latest in SoundOnSound by some bigtime producer called Elliott Scheiner.
There're probably more information about Nuendo producers on steinbergs homepage
-
If you really go for the pro studio sound quality, Steinbergs Nuendo is one of the very best and is by several great producers claimed to be superior to protools
-
Roughly, Goa is primarily based on melodies and synthlines while psytrance is much less melodic and more based on soundeffects (especially percussive) and more complex rhythms.
Goa has it's years between 94-98 while psytrance (somewhat invented by X-dream and followed up by Atmos about 98) goes from 98 to now. These are only guidelines

VST's with eastern and oriental influences?
in Music Making and Production/Industry
Posted
When you play those sounds, try playing them in a harmonic minor scale (that's a minor with a raised 7th note) in A it would like this:
A-B-C-D-E-F-Ab-A
Hope this makes makes sense, otherwise let me try to show it in another way
This scale is very used in oriental music and has this "arabic" feel
