Gotta love it dark and dingy! Nice Blay.

Usually I just work by the LED glow as well - although the 2 17" screens chuck off a bit of light too. :wink:

Yeah there really is no need for lighting with a couple of lcds hanging about. In addition to the 17" lcd and the 15" powerbook you see in the photo, I have another 17" lcd which I run dual off the powerbook (it is currently on loan to a friend), and my housemate just bought himself a 15.4" pc lappy - so all up we have two 17" and two 15" lcds...
gotta love the pixel playground :D

I figure if I can see the dust on my gear it is too bright to work.

Need More studio pics! When I am finished building mine I will post!

Well here is my introduction- a photo of the back of my head...

aaaah crap. Well I'm off to a good start. What the funk am I doing wrong?

Hi DugM,

Upload your pic to some webspace (if you don't have any of your own, a free server for pictures is http://photobucket.com ). Then you aquire the URL (the web address of the image), and in your post (here on the forum) type:



....(or whatever your URL is) to display the image (once submitted).

PS > Welcome to the forum mate. :)

Please don't let me look like a fool again....

i see a sherman tank! :D
smooth....

Nice one! :)

How do you like your Prophecy?

PS > Blay, just noticed, your studio looks wicked, man.

I'll have to get my ass sorted out. As soon as I get a new music-computer sorted I'll post pics.

isnt the Prophecy a pysical modeling hybrid?
that should sounds interesting,whats your feedback on this?

To be honest the prophecy is something I'm wanting to replace. Not because it's sh*t, just because it's something that is on load to me and came without the manual. I can't find the manual on any websites so never got my head round it.

The presets are pretty good, quite dated now though. Just wish I could use it to it's potential.

:D

why thankyar Timo.

Look forward to seeing them.

cheers

Pete

i remember my mate saying the same thing,its weird he got it second without a manual aswell.

does a manual for this metal ever exsist? 8O

would you mind telling more about it? artchitecture and single flow.
i would love to hear some stuff done with it.

Nice setup Dugmac :D

I think its time for a bigger desk though!

cheers

[Korg Prophecy Basic/Players Guide - 3.4mb]

[Korg Prophecy Parameter Guide - 12.8mb]

I have the 6-voice Moss (Z1) board for my Trinity and find it to be very transparent. A good compliment to the characteristic and very unmistakable 'Virus' sound. I just really wished Korg made a successor to the Z1 as the basic sound is absolutely rock solid and very flexible - and I absolutely love the idea of the Physical Modelling and VA hybrid, a great concept - but I guess the Z1/moss sounds would pale a tad when compared to something like the Clavia G2 now.

The OASYS-PCI board (not to be mistaken with the new OASYS workstation) was a big step up from the Z1 as it has more DSP for greater realism and power, and included even more physical models when compared with the Z1, but the problem is only Windows98se is supported as the OASYS-PCI has been discontinued for a good while. The sound quality is ace from what I've heard, though, so I'm even considering buying one off ebay and then grabbing an older computer to run it on standalone!

Otherwise, I really hope Korg make some spin-offs from their new OASYS workstation, like a hardcore standalone synth (like a Z2) which does away with all the other unneeded OASYS frills. I know that Korg will add physical modelling to their OASYS workstation at some point, as they're reknowned for the time, money and effort they've pumped into R&D on physical modelling over the last couple of decades, so I just hope it does splinter off into a new dedicated synth.

COME ON KORG!

Back to the Prophecy, I heard that because it's a monophonic synth they dedicated more DSP to that single voice on the Prophecy than they did for each voice on the 6-voice Z1, thus the Prophecy is deemed to have a richer and more powerful sound when both compared in monophonic mode. The Z1 just adds polyphony/multitimbrality and a few more physical model algorithms.

There's some nice demos of the Prophecy here:

Nice setup Dugmac! :D

Great to see some more pics being posted.

Wow, Timo, you're a legend. Thanks!

Well i guess I can give you a better run down once I've been through the manual a few times...

PS > really?

[Edit: Ah, i mis-read, I thought the mixer was in your home studio. hoho]

the other pic is from SAE in byron bay, yeah?

nice little home setup you have there.

cheers

blay

lol i wouldnt call it a home studio mixer its far less then that,maybe a cheap budget console. :)

Nice home studio Mason....

Looks like a creative environment!

:)

like I would be able to fit that beast in my house , let alone afford it,. but I am in there everyday mixing like a maniac. yeah the ssl g is located in the lovely byron bay SAE campus as well as there ssl K and vintage neve console at 301 studios.

you could always breakdown the wall and bring it thru the window with a lift truck :D
about affording it,hey i know tons of banks which you can rob. :wink:

But dont rob any in Colarado....especially if you are Australian! ;)

Bl?rfgh. Just arm yourself to the teeth with massive weapons and off you go. Err.. I think i just broke the swedish law by saying that. hoho - screw the goverment, I am tired of them

finaly i got an actual studio pic for u guys 8)



as you can see - we need a desk :wink:

A massive desk!!!!

Lots of cool toys to play with.....

:)

ok so do you need a new flatmate?

i will provide the desk as long as i get to use the gear ;)

what a lovely little hobby corner....

cheers

Here's an update of mine...

I notice alot of you guys got Virus B instead of a C, is there any particulair reason for this?

-VR

i love the architecture of the b ... IMHO it sounds warmer than the c :wink:

its all in your head,the B and the C are the same.

Hmm, might buy meself a virus b next to my c then, I'm gonna test it today :)

-VR

I think thats what the ;) was all about...

I think he is just yanking our chains.

In response to vvanrij, I have a VirusC....maybe we should have a poll? Would be interesting to see who has what.

Ow lol, so I don't have to go to the store today haha :)

Would be fun to have Virus B + C + Ti hehehe, though I think I'l have to wait on me Ti a little while longer (maybe 45 days!!! ahahha :D )

-VR

I have a B because I could get it for so much less than I could get a C. There isn't enough difference between them to warrant an immediate upgrade IMO. I might even keep my B when I can finally afford to get a TI because I believe they will be completely different sounding machines

Cant quite fit it all in, a rack with fireface and other kit is to the right. The evo mk-149 sits where the virus TI will.....cabling is a lot tider since pic was taken.

Biggest pic EVER ten...hehehe.....

Any chance of resizing it? btw, nice looking setup! I've been wanting to get a CD deck for ages now...but the CDJ1000's are still too damn expensive

Ah yes, I forget everyone else is on dinky computer screens :P

These are cdj800s, got em for ?250 each from USA, they go for about ?450 here so made a bloody good saving.

They are very similar to cdj1000s, missing only a couple of features but costing a fraction of the price, well worth looking at and great for home use.
