JP8080 or MS2000?
Hey Pimenov or which ever one scans this thread - Which would you rather have? JP-8080 or MS-2000?
I'm planning in upping my studio with an RS7000, HR824 monitors, some type of 16 channel (Min mixer), Lexicon MPX-*** (Prolly 100) and either the JP or MS. Possibly a CS6x later. Maybe even scrap the CS6x and deck out a Kenton PGL station :)
Anyway, which would you choose?
(By the way, would the previous BE a good set-up? Have Virus Kb, EM-1, Cakewalk, and other various software already)
I thought it was a TS 404 :/ that synth does the job excellently and gets rid of the clicking in the background, but I think the clicking sounds good either way :)
damn since when? when I looked it was about ё1000......

They changed the price about 2-3 weeks ago... hehehe, I was looking at the price of one, and then I refreshed the page and it dropped by like 300-400 dollars. I was like Yay!
MS2000r seems like an exceptional Value, but seeing as how I already have a VA (Virus), I'm putting the money towards a new roland XV-5050 and a korg WavestionEX or rack.
Yeah, it isn't easy. It takes several years to master V.A.S.T architecture. But the quality of results is great.
Think of k2600. Triple modular synthesis. On one program layer you can define your own architecture for synthesis, feed it to another layer that you define, and to a third. It takes just 1 voice on the synth. You could have a recordedsample as a soundsource, then pwm-synthesis, 3-4 different filters etc.
Filter types? low/high/band/allpass, notch /double notch filters etc. with 48db resonance if you like.
Every parameter midi-controllable. And KDFX effects machine. Synth has 4 stereo outputs. You can - at the same time - have for example one compressor/limitter for every stereo output *plus* a global 3-band mastering compressor, at the same time.
User interface is bad though..

Why dont I just learn MAX/MSP instead over those 2 years? It's a true modular, much cheaper, and has in theory - Limitless potential.
Secondly, considering that the electronic music industry has advanced greatly... things like the Kurweils arnt extactly *needed* to produce "that sound".
Anyway, all I want now is:
Monitors
XV 5050 with an orchestral board (They have to release one soon)
RS7000
Lexicon effects
A Juno (Too bad MKS-7 doesnt save patches) or SuperJupiter or SuperJX
A good overdrive/distortion unit
and a bassline synth.
Though I wont get them all anytime soon :)
IMO: Notch filter rocks and 48db filters are WAY too sharp of a slope.
um.. sorry, I was wrong, one can't have a 3band compressor as an global effect in k2600, it takes 4 allocation units of fx and reserve for global effects is 3 allocation units.
hey use whatever equipment you like best :) maybe we should talk less and make more music :)

Actually, I just went and checked out the K2600XS at zzsounds... even bigger price drops than before.
