Happy NSD! Are you a one man band? hehe

thank you.

no, but I play a few instruments; these days mostly guitar and organ, some synths, but going deeper into modular eurorack synths - but I like the vintage style synths, so far I have Behringer System-55, Poly-D, 2600 and Odyssey.

I have software synth versions of many classic/historic synths, eventually would like to get a Buchla system.

Cheers!

Wow! An organ? Are you a billionaire? Davy Jones? Or you don’t have one at home? Now I am impressed and need some videos lol

Of synths I only know they can cost a fortune, not much besides that. Still want some videos of those too.

You seem to have quite a lot interesting things at home.

I have a few organs, mostly digital, all but one also has pedals; I have a '62 Hammond A-102 and matching Leslie 142 in fruitwood; I'm the second owner, it was purchased new in '63 by the original owner until his passing a few years ago:

Oh, I thought it would be sized like those in churches.

Cool organ! RIP to the original owner.

no need, I do have a digital pipe organ, but it's not the size of a room or church!

I actually got this one since it's "portable" - most digital pipe organs are meant to be installed in a fixed location and not moved, which I didn't want.

There are a lot of good virtual synths for DAWS now

agreed; something about having a the physical system changes what and how I approach and use them. For both analog and digital synths. Like having a real tube amp and the plugin.

Finally got the table to set-up the System-55; need a few more cables (ordered) to actually use it...soon!

 

[JackBootedThug]

sweet!

What’s better than roses on your piano ? Tulips on your organ.

I watched a video about this and still got not one clue on how this works lol

yes, not intuitive. basically, you have sound generators (oscillators), filters / envelopes/ attenuators / effects, amplifiers and mixers; you can route the sounds in/out through the modules as needed; and sequencers to play patterns of sounds, or add a keyboard to play the sounds.

So it is a science workstation, I see ?

pretty much, but Keith Emerson used the original well.

I never doubted the power of science anyway ?
