emusonacid! legacy

Is anyone using this site? It looks like a great resource.
I'm getting back into recording after many years in a different career.
I have an E6400 Ultra and am just learning how to use it. Bit of a
Learning curve going on :-)

I'm here!

Haven't used my ultra for a long time, but have decided to start to experiment with it again! Think it can be quite a creative tool if one invests the time in learning it.

Guess there aren't that many emu users out there, but let's try to keep this forum going.

I'm sure that there are a lot of users visiting this forum minimum once a week.

Although the amount of new questions and discussions has been decreased you will get help if your question hasn't been answered already in an older discussion.

I'm here aswell :) Hi.

Thanks for replys. I will keep checking in here.

Still here. But there is also a big community at Facebook

ah! Found the Facebook community, thanks :-)

Just nod so i can see you.

Waving Stet. :-)
I'm well into my learning curve. Editing samples. Working out how to do multi timbal setup. So much to learn :-/

Still there, reading mostly.

I checked and didn't realised i signed in here in 2005. It really is a precious forum. Bought a 6400 back then but sucked at making music. Sold it without mastered it.
Switched to computer.

And one day you know, some weeks ago in fact...your beloved and expensive Mac containing your daily virtual instruments die and you are stuck. I mean STUCK!
You reached a point where you can do music with that technology. But in the end you finded mostly annoying to work with, as it barely have the feeling of an instrument. Yes, there are awesome instruments like Maschine and Spark but in the end i realize i never really liked the sound of virtual instruments. Quite like being high with placebo pills at a party.
Not that i can't make it sound quite big but it lacks textures, depth, tone to not be layered, perfectly mixed, destroyed, ultramaximized, trendy. Which in the end is fatiguing to listen to.
We lost something, soundwise.

Yes! Back to E-MU, back to reall balls, back to dynamics! (i wonder how i will succed with that and if the wedding last past honeymoon. )
Picked a PX7, next an Emulator as soon as i can swap my synth for one. And later, i will get back that SP in my studio, i miss her. Wish i never sold that damn 12 Turbo.
Oh, and will catch an Atari for a good measure.

What a regression, fuck i'm getting old but happy to catch that opportunity.

Sorry

So, my story is I used to sequence with an Atari back in the day. After some success I failed to make a living with music and closed the studio door. Now I've gone back in, some ten years later... It's all old gear. Korg Trinity, e6400 Ultra, Roland VS880 and two great analogue synths with midi retrofit etc. I'm going to work with what I've got. I'm not interested in working with a laptop at all. I'm re-learning and loving it. No pressure to 'make it' just art for arts sake. It's like being captain of an obsolete space ship :-)

I should add, I've got two sequencing options. Yamaha QY700 or the Trinity inboard sequencer. The QY presents a learning curve I might leave to later. As I know the Trinity quite well I may start there for now. First up, get fully yo to speed with the Ultra. 72Mb and 64note poly. Should do for now. Might buy memory SIMMS to max out to 128Mb.
