Hell yeah Mac, Oberheim is the name! I heard the difference when i got the 1000, moved up to OBXA. Them sh!ts is the real.

I'm also looking at a Novation Nova, any thoughts on that?

yeah you know what i mean el- i didnt want to say hey i have an analogue and say the aj1 and then have some anal- analogueist say 'oi that aint a reeeeaaaallll analogue' like has happened before...

you are right- one of the only old synths to have pwm on the saw wave, crazy envelopes (still getting my head round them to be honest) and is capable of crazy monofied unison sounds, the chord mem is dead cool too-

nova will be dead nice as its essentially a biggr nova k or a station- lovely wave forms, great sound, filters are cool and efx arent bad either....

Dub, the aj1 is not a faker, it just uses DCO's, they are analog but with digital timing so they dont go out of tune, which is part of the fun of analog VCO's as long as they dont do it too much. The 106 is DCO as well, it's not a faker.

Hey, the AJ1 has a lot on many other synths, those weird waveforms are pretty unique, and 8 satage envelopes? that shyt is ill, few analogs have that.


oh damn.. My Bad... I didnt really read the whole thing. Thanks for correcting me :oops:

No prob logic, it was kinda funny, cuz there are so many threads like that askin the same thing, why would you even read it, right?

Whoa dove, you got an OBXa, that's a beats right there, very beautiful synth. I'd love to have one of those or a OB-8. Beautiful sound. Well, the nova will pale compared to the OB, but for a different flavor could be nice. I like the newer novation stuff better than the old stuff, the sound of it is different, I'd go for a K station or a KS rack before gettin a nova or super nova, unless the nova was cheap because it is kinda cute all table top and glowing buttons.

Man, You really don;t need a lot of synths, but with the analog stuff its like you want to have a bunch of them just cuz they each bring something different to the table.

Even very simple analog synths can deliver a wide range of great sounds, the AJ1 is a very capable synth, if you learn it well, you will be ahead of the game as far as sounds go. I spent hours at that thing and I kept having to save patches because I kept stumbling on cool sounds. Yeah, the envelopes are weird. If you can get one of them PG200 programers for it, or just look at a picture of one that has details, it will help you understand it. The manual for it isn;t bad either.

My little squadron of Rolands are pretty much all I need: Juno 60, SH101, MC202, MKS50 & for old-school digital sounds the JD800.

I want a v synth keyboard,that thing is sick,also alesis got this joint called fusion that looks better than anything out there,it supposed to have a 40g hard drive in it,can sample, the whole 9 like the new korg,but it only cost 2k,when it comes out I'm grabbin that or the v synth once I can compare,but go to the alesis website and check that new joint.

i have the pg-300 would you believe this- bought it froma guy in the states whoo said he couldn't remember using it- turned up brand new!! still in sealed cellaphane- this was two/three years ago and the thing came out in 86 or summat!!

yeah love the synth- still getting my head round the oscs too as ive generally not found the weirder osc shapes esepecially useful- but thats much more likely my programming- def need that programmer!!

ob- el have you ever tried the blue (nova looking) ob beast that came out and was quickly discontinued?

i sooooo want a 202 and a 101!!

has anyone used the roland Jp-800 or the jx-3p. if so what do you think.

By barefootbryan2335 Fri May 20, 2005 2:27 am
isautner, if u get a jx-3p, get the programmer, you wont be dissopointed. or a jx-8p, set to mono 6 oscillators for every note is so thick.

Hi Greg

"i sooooo want a 202 and a 101!!"

I presume you mean a 202 OR a 101? I had both for a long time but sold the 202 a couple of years back as there was way too much overlap with the 101 to justify keeping it. Also, dont be fooled by the attraction of the 202's sequencer as many people hate it (including me)! It is a complete pain in the butt for programming..

Besides, these guys are quite inexpensive.. Sure you will see people asking for silly money but they wont sell for their prices..
