  1. I found the more blisters you get the more your fingers harden up; try not to burst them.
  2. This has been sold, the thread can be closed. thanks
  3. Excellent condition, complete with power supply, microphone for the vocoder and manual. Some specs from the Korg website: "State-of-the-art analog modeling and multi-band vocoding are finally available in a compact, portable instrument. With 37 keys and 128 user-rewritable programs, the microKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder is perfect for the performer, producer, computer musician or beginner looking for an affordable synthesizer. The new microKORG delivers the quality sounds and features you expect from Korg at a price that will astound you. Powerful Synthesis The microKORG boasts the same dual-oscillator DSP synthesis engine found in Korgs critically acclaimed MS2000 and offers a wider selection of waveforms than any other modeled synth. Oscillator 1 features a total of 71 waveforms . These include traditional analog waves like saw, pulse, sine and noise, plus more unique choices like Vox wave and cross wave. Together they provide a cool selection that can be modulated to produce an extensive range of timbres. In addition, 64 exclusive DWGS waveforms from Korgs classic DW-8000 enable the microKORG to reproduce a broad collection of imitative sounds. Sounds like bells, electric pianos, guitars, basses and more that would be difficult reproduce on an analog synthesizer. You can also apply Ring and Sync modulation from Oscillator 2 to create the kind of complex timbres that are the true sign of an advanced synthesizer. Four filter modes are available, offering -12 dB (2-pole) low pass, high pass and band pass configurations plus an extra steep -24 dB (4-pole) low pass setting. All include resonance. Two classic ADSR envelope generators and two MIDI-syncable LFOs provide the power to shape your sounds. Add a Virtual Patch matrix that lets you create advanced modulation settings routing the Mod Wheel to control filter cutoff or pulse width, using an LFO to control panning or amp level, etc. and you have performance that is unheard of from a synthesizer in this price range! Classic Vocoding The microKORG includes an 8-band vocoder with many advanced features. You can capture and freeze the formants of your voice, and then play it across the keyboard, or shift the formant frequency to make your voice sound male, female, like a child or just plain wacky! Best of all, the microKORG comes with its own microphone so you can start having fun right away. A Full Range of Effects Three types of modulation effects (chorus/flanger, phaser, ensemble), three types of delay effects (stereo, cross, L/R), and a two-band equalizer add the finishing touch to the microKORG. The delays can be synchronized with the arpeggiator or to an external MIDI clock a great feature for live performances or for laying down tracks. All effects can be edited to create your own, unique sounds. Great Sound and Expression Korg has used all of the microKorgs synthesis power in the creation of 128 great-sounding presets. They cover a wide range of the latest musical styles plus many vintage favorites. Sixteen vocoder Programs are also included. The Pitch Bend wheel, Modulation wheel and five other knobs provide flexible realtime control over filter cutoff, attack, release and other important parameters. The Edit Mode allows you to fully edit the existing sounds, or to create your own new ones. Flexible Arpeggiator Six types of arpeggio patterns (UP, DOWN, ALT1/2, Random, Trigger) are built in, with control over tempo, gate time, swing, and up to a 4-octave range. You can turn individual steps on or off within a pattern, providing the feel and functionality of a step sequencer. Audio In Two external audio input jacks are provided, so you can run other instruments, CDs and more through the microKORGs filter and effects, allowing you to process sounds in truly creative ways. A Compact MIDI Controller The microKORGs compact size is perfect for the musician or DJ looking to add a synth to his or her setup when space is tight. Its also a great choice for use in a computer-based music setup. The five realtime knobs on the front panel can transmit MIDI messages (control changes), so they can be used as controllers for software synthesizers. Use the 37-note velocity-sensitive mini-keyboard for controlling other gear or for recording and editing with your sequencer. And thanks to battery-power, the microKORG is the ultimate portable controller when used with a laptop computer! Clear Control and Classic Looks Theres no complex menu structure all parameters are located on the panel for easy access to any function. A large dial and LED illuminated buttons provide easy program selection even on a dark stage. With its beige-gold body, wooden side panels and retro-influenced design, the microKORG has a look thats both vintage and funky:." ----------------- 160, may be open to offers. cheers
  4. to be honest man you'd be better off spending a wee bit more, i bought one for 15 quid and the bloody thing won't stay in tune- the tension of the strings pulls the tuning pegs loose. particularly a pain when trying to tune it by ear.
  5. I really liked the video; I could barely recognise the tunnels in the crowd scenes! well done Steven, and congratulations to the rest of the band.
  6. I actually totally disagree with that, I think the drums are nice and subtle and the groove really gives the track the sort of weather barn feel; I think it would have been too easy to just play a straight forward linear beat. good job guys.
  7. Hi folks, Probably a long shot but I am looking for a cajon box drum. The price is not really an issue, just looking for a great sounding instrument. Cheers in advance. Derek
  8. Both good points there lads, i'm going to make sure i've done all my homework research before the election, it just seems like there is so much to take on board. This is a good thread; i think it's refreshing to hear about these kind of things minus the overwhelming influence of the leaflets pouring through the letter box!
  9. I don't completely understand it if im honest, but it seems like if we switch to alternative voting then perhaps it could be a very easy system for the large parties to manipulate to their advantage?
  10. totally! if i remember rightly the stuff was a carcinogenic if you consumed a lot of it. they were filtering tap water i believe; very Del Boy and Rodney as you posted John. What an embaressment.
  11. this is great man, thanks a lot for the download, will definitely be purchasing the album. You are all sounding fantastic on the track.
  12. its the only cinema i go to, used to go at least a week but i still go very frequently. will be gutted if it shuts down but i guess if it isn't making it's money...
  13. Nick Gibson is a brilliant teacher, he taught me for 4 years. He shares his studio with Colin Black who teaches guitar who is also a fantastic teacher. I don't know if Nick would have the time to fufill the position having his own business and all but it would be worth a shot; he would be an asset to the school.
  14. I did the megabus, was an awful ordeal but it was about 1/5 of the cost of the train
  15. cheers for the download, will be buying the album in June. All the best guys
  16. I think it is very likely that Nirvana would have split in 1994 if Cobain did not die; he was growing more and more tiresome with the band and wanted to pursue different musical projects; namely one with Micheal Stipe which i for one think would have been fucking awesome. He had so much more potential so in that sense it his was a very tragic and untimely loss. Although i think the 'iconic' status that has been credited to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain is due to the untimely young death, kind of like that of James Dean, Jim Morisson and Jimi Hendrix. Would Nirvana have this appeal to youngsters if Kurt had lived on?
  17. Is there a good chance of that happening? The thought of that is really putting me off getting a ticket for this; I've had too many disappointments with shows at the aecc
  18. This is probably a long shot, but if anyone, or anyone you know is going to be in Edinburgh next weekend (starting the 11th) I have two tickets for Iron and Wine at the HMV Picturehouse that are free to uplift as unfortunately I can no longer make it to the show; it would be a shame for them to go to waste. cheers Iron & Wine - Edinburgh - HMV Picture House - Concert Tickets - 11 March 2011 | Songkick
  19. thanks so much Phil, really enjoying the album. maybe i can buy you a drink for each song on the album next time your in the deen.
  20. i gave a guy on belmont street 50p to play lay lady lay and has soon as he had started some of his strings snapped. so i didn't get my cake or got to eat it too.
