Original Message 1/8 07-Aug-98 @ 07:58 PM - What should I buy???
This is MC/DJ Phallus (the anal one)... I bought
an MPC2000 some six months ago (some of you might
remember...) and I've gotten really good at
making songs, scratching (with my Technics) and
rapping...
I want to buy something new, as I'll have lots of
money soon, about 45,000 Belgian francs (about
1500 dollars I guess...)I want cool analog synth
sounds. So what should I get??? I was thinking
about the following synths:
Juno 160 (SH), Rave-O-Lution 309, Polymorph, or
when I've got some more money, an Audity 2000 or
whatever it's called - I heard it sounds pretty
new and inovative, and I like originallity...
What about the Supernova? (I know it's a bit more expensive than what I can afford, but I can wait.)
Pretty soon, I'll be able to borrow two Roland
synths, D50 and E-66, for about as long as I want.
(From my girl's dad and mom...)
Would they do the job? I know they are both digit.
synths, but the D50 sounds sort of analog from
what I've heard... And I could use them both for
stuff like pianos etc...
If these synths would do the job, I could spend my
money on something else. Would the EWS-64 XL be a
smart thing to buy? Or an 8-track or something???
Maybe some old sampler? What about a compressor,
enhancer, reverb, multi-effects...????? What
should I buy??????????
Thanks a whole lot!

on second thought, buy a farm. farm life is much more rewarding than the club scene. then give me your gear, marry a fat Swiss lady and have lots of cute little phallic mc's runnin around...then GIVE ME YOUR MPC!!!!!!!

He's allready got an MPC2000, so what's the point in getting another sampler ?
Hey Phallus, weren't you from Belgium too ?

so you have $500 left over - you could get a cheap fm synth and something analog for that.
i know that that's not really the answer you were expecting *but* trust me - the mixer and the fx are as creative as a synth i reckon - especially if you're a dj anyway and used to fitting things together realtime with pitch/crossfade controls - you'll find it easy to pick up....
the other thing, i'd try and get all the fx in different boxes - more flexibility - i just picked up reverb, compression and delay/pitchshift in three units over the weekend for 120 pounds ($160??) and they're all wicked...
i'd avoid the soundcard for now. much more fun to play with stuff that works when you touch it than doesn't work unless you're soem pc-genius.....
even just with a simple simple drum track, having the fx above and the mixing desk unleashes some mad demons - your drums suddenly become infinitely tweakable. anyway....
