That's awsome Ben_j! Pity about the patches, is there some way to save them through midi onto a PC?

yeah there is software that imports patches. plus they'll probably sell the battery on ebay. try finding the software for the juno on vintagesynth.com great site, my second favorite

yeah I already know the battery I have to buy, it only costs 1? or so, but I read on a forum that it is soldered, and I don't know if it's a good thing that I change it myself... And how do I open the Juno ?

Screws on bottom, it has hinges so it'll open like a door, easy to work on. I need to replace some sliders so I am in your shoes. I've done physical work and old synths are made so it's not hard to work on...

Ok. I was affraid opening it because sometimes it's hard to close... It happened when I openned a Playstation controller years ago. It took me 1hour to close it properly :/

juno librarian is an OLD piece of software! but I made good use of it

I opened it, and I can't take the battery out of it. It's stuck, maybe soldered and I don't want to pull, I don't want to break something. I'll take it to a repair shop

Any Idea how to do Rollin & Scratchin with the 106 ?

This is fecking fantastic news:

The Korg Legacy Collection?s Analog Edition 2007 gets a new virtual synth: MonoPoly. The original MonoPoly was released in 1981 and had four oscillators and four-way modulation. The software version gives you a sophisticated virtual patch matrix, two multi-effects, microtuning, 16-voice unison, 256 factory sounds, and a maximum 128-note polyphony.

Kind of a dream come true for me.

that's cool they're releasinig a microkorg-like radias. but virtual monopoly, I feel so violated for owning the real one

Just got a new set of studio headphones, so I thought I'd run a few tunes through them to learn how they sound. I picked Chemically Imbalanced because I've heard it through a top notch pair of studio monitors at Mips' house, so have some idea of the sound of the songs through quality speakers. Strangely, these have a really similar sound to Mips' monitors in the bass department. There is something funny with the mids on these, but I'll run a load of other tunes through them and learn what's going on.

I don't intend on mixing on these primarily, but it's nice to be able to listen to tunes without having to mess about with monitors as such.

hey Chemfan, which headphones did you get?



I've got the Beyerdynamic dt990 pro's, and while they do sound better than any headphones I've used, I just can't mix properly on them. No matter how hard I try, the mix always comes out sounding really um, middy, for lack of a better word. Forget about trying to eq a kickdrum too, cause you'll make it all low-middy with not much bottom end.



I always find it heaps better to mix on speakers, then sort of check the mix with headphones to make sure there's nothing weird going on in the stereo field or any frequency ranges that are masked by my room/monitors. Living in a sharehouse alot of the time I'm forced to mix and produce with headphones tho...



Anyone here have success mixing on headphones?

I've got nothing that fancy, just a pair of the Beyerdynamic DT231's. I'll be getting a pair of monitors in the next couple of weeks, something in the �200-250 range (which is a bit limiting). Any suggestions on that?



I used to mix on headphones, and it sounded ok, but the bass was way off. Got the mids and highs right, but more by luck than judegment, I think.

Man if you can save up another 50-100 pounds, go for these: http://www.soundsliv...80M~ID~4445.asp



Got a pair about 2-3 months ago and they are absolutely amazing. Insane clarity throughout the whole range, stereo field excellent and they extend right down to like 30Hz. At least that's the lowest I can hear/feel them go down to. Had a listen compared to some KRK Rockits, Behringer Truths, some Genelecs and Dynaudio BM6a's and they almost sounded as good as the Dynaudio's. Definitely the best sounding monitor in it's price range tho, you won't be dissapointed.



Chemical Brother never sounded so good! X-D

I had a listen to a few monitors in the shop, including the Yamaha HS-50s - I wasn't impressed. I thought the sound quality was garbage - how you'd get a balanced mix on them is beyond me!

The best I heard was the Tannoy Reveals, but I only heard a couple of sets as they didn't have that many. I had the Tapco S5s recommended, but the shop didn't have any in to test. I've heard good things about the Truths, and I've been told that the KRKs are too bassy. Having heard the Alesis M1s, I kinda thought they were a bit bassy too. Genelecs and Dynaudio are out of the range, I'm afraid. I've heard very little about the Fostex 04s, but they're in the price range too.

Yeah man, the HS-50s are fucked. I was told I'd be better of with them and the paired subwoofer, but it was just incredibly messy. Please do yourself a favour and try the HS-80s, they're a hell of alot better than the 50s. I'm not sure how the 50s even came to be in the same HS range as the 80s, they're worlds apart.



I used to have M1's (M1 Mk2's) and can testify that they're overly bassy. I didn't mind at first, but it actually makes it really hard to hear what's going on down there. There's quite a bump around 50-60Hz which used to make us think we should gain the sub area of certain bass notes and reduce it for others 8O



I didn't find the KRK's too bassy, but too middy. Sounded like they'd be great if you were producing rock. Don't be too swayed by the Truths, they've got a pronounced top end that makes you automatically think they sound good, but once you get over that you hear them for what they are.



But yeah, I'm just another producer like you, and it really does come down to personal taste. But you should really check out the 80s before making a decision, because they sound like they should be at least double the price. Our mixes have gotten considerably cleaner since switching from the M1's to these bad boys.

Wow, thanks for your help on this!

I'll check out the HS80s then, I think they'll be out of my price range but I'll see how I go. Always good to get opinion (especially seeing how difficult it is to find �200 monitors set up for demo's)

I'll be DJing friday night at a party in my school. Dunno yet what I'll do, probably a mix between classic DJing with vynils and Ableton Live DJing with my XBoard 25 keyboard, which is pretty cool and easy

Have fun with that! 8) Let us know how you go :)

No idea of the name of the topic where you report a synth you spotted on a chems song, so I'll just post it here (maybe it has been already said before) :



The beats in Got Glint are exclusively done with a TR 909 (with effects), I'm pretty sure of that
