Sounds funky. jpg, please! :)

Ya, we want picture!!!

LOL - a couple of piccies then :)





The room is a little longer but theres a desk at the other end that I havnt quite suceeded in invading yet as my gf uses it.

YAY, he also got the KS Rack, I love that baby.

Your studio looks nice, you just need to move stuff around a lil' :P

NEVER EVER put stuff on your monitors, and the sax looks vulnurable over there. And to the left of your keyboard, there should be a virus c desktop. Also, you could leave a little space in the racks between each of the modules, so you can route the wires to the back of the rack, looks and works better. I love the way you put your 01x, might check that out myself.

Keep up the good work!

What i wouldn't do for a studio like that... :(

The KS-Rack I bought as a stop-gap back in June until my TI keyboard shows up, but you're right - great little synth and especially at the silly price they are going for now. I think it might compliment the sound of the TI nicely too. I think alot of people have bought them recently for the same reason :)

The sax only lives there as somewhere to put it when I using it - else lives in its case. Actually it the safest place in the room for it when it out - about the only place where it cant get knocked :)

On the monitors - it took me ages originally to get them to behave - now they are sat on top of home made sound/vibration isolation pads and theres very thin pieces of soft foam under the lights - so I get no vibrations or resonances. That was like the only spare bits of space in which to stick anything.

The Mixer stand is a Quiklok QL-400 http://www.quiklok.com/search_list.t...t_0_uid1=33123 - perfect for the job.

Yeh - agree on the cables - wasnt quite so many of them when I last did the racks and patchbays. Am moving house soon anyway so will do as you suggest - thankfully there will be a bit more room this time :)

Of course there is something very wrong with this picture - a Virus TI Keyboard is *supposed* to be where the little desk rack and keyboard is - Grrrr!!!

I really like the studio :D

And the v-synth is great, now just get that freakin virus ti, bloody bastards @ access!!!

Is the KS Rack the one with the sliders along the bottom and the knobs toward the top - the silver thing.

Looks nice, what kind of sounds does it do? How does it compare to the Novation Supernova series?

Dont know about how it compares to the supernova - I would expect similar tonal quality maybe. Ive never user a supernova.

The kind of thing I use it for are as follows:
Really nice smooth synth EP and organ sounds - it just to have two *really* nice presets of an EP and a Hammond style organ - among the best ive come across on any synth or sample set.

Its gets quite dirty as well when you want, allmost ancient moog like with the right filter and overdrive settings.

Its good for rich smooth trance sounds - no hypersaw or anything fancy, but osc drift settings on it can make it quite analog so long as you stay out of its artifcact zones (LP filters opened right out, and very high notes).

Also very good for base sounds as well.

The square wave on it allmost has a reedy quality to it sometimes as well.

FM and Ring and Sync sounds on it are quite good, sync leads are good.

Like all synths tho - its can sound crap sometimes, but when you find its limits then its a very good synth for the price.

I expect I shall still use it alot even when my Virus TI shows up.

Have a look around on the net - they are ultra cheap at the moment - production has stopped on them so stores are flogging them off really cheap. I think its probably about the best value synth around at the moment.

I think alot of people waiting for the TI to arrive have bought them as stop gaps recently (that was why I bought it) - I would expect they have been very pleasently suprised as I have.

Re: v synth xt
 

Not a traitor at all! For a long time I was trying to get a swap my VC for a V-synth. Gave up though and decided I'll get a V-synth when the time is right.

New outboard is on the list first. :D
