Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:58 pm Post subject: what keyboards youse got? |
|
|
i was actually thinking about posting this before the 'what's jcyphe got?' thread, but now seems like a good time to follow that up. i know this is a guitar forum first and foremost, but i'm interested in what everyone has in addition to stringed instruments.
i was a keyboard player for years before taking up the guitar, and spent a lot of my teenage years (and most of my student loans) buying them. when i started the technology wasn't anywhere near as good as it is today, i mean, if you wanted a decent hammond, rhodes or wurlitzer sound you really had to buy the originals, whereas now i couldn't tell you the difference between the real thing and a nord electro (through a PA with my eyes shut, anyway).
here's my collection (not actual photos, they're all in hibernation at the moment)
1980 rhodes stage 73 mark II:
early 60s vox continental:
roland juno 106:
60s philips philicorda:
60s hammond L00 and leslie (can't remember the leslie model, 122 maybe):
plus a MIDI controller keyboard and a couple of modules. if i ever buy another keyboard it'd probably be a second synth, but something small-ish.
what key machines hide in shortscalers' metaphorical closets? _________________

Alesis Micron + KP3 (i know the kp3 isnt a keyboard, but they are kind of joined at the hip).
Also have a normal upright piano in the house, its not mine though. Just a family piano thing, its nice though. |

I had one of them Vox continentals, bought it off some old hippy muso in Falmouth Cornwall who said it belonged to the guy from the Specials. I sold it on to some Vox keyboard collector as i soon lost patience with learing the keyboard. |

This thread is gonna be awesome.
I presently don't have any Keyboards or Synths. Growing up I always had Casio Keyboards and my aunt had one of those home organs with a spinning speaker. It was not a Hammond, I think it was a Wurlitzer.
I love the cheesy sound of the Philicorda, you got some great stuff Stewart. _________________

could possibly be a lowry... i'm sure some of them had inbuilt rotating speakers, not sure if they were available in the US though.
i think the only other organ i'd ever want to own (and i really want one) is a farfisa compact duo. the early pink floyd / country joe & the fish sounds just make me salivate.
edit: i think it's spelt lowrey. it might not even be one of those though. _________________

I haven't got any photos up yet, but will get a few tomorrow.
i have a moog prodigy that i got cheap a few years ago, has that mini moog sound, good for bass too.
Hammond L122 with matching leslie, mainly as my forum name gives away, i love 70's progressive rock.
Viscount B3 clone. it's digital and only one manual, but sounds pretty good.
i also have a very battered and half working mellotron M400 _________________ Fingers or Pick?

Oddly enough, I know for a fact that the Brothers Chap use one of them (or something very similar)- every now and then I hear noises from my childhood within Homestar toons. Most awesome. _________________ andrew floss musics |

I have a Casio VL-1 since I was a little kid:
it's a monophonic analog synth. it has a sequencer and an ADSR mode to program your own tones.
I also have a Casio CT-310 that I found in the trash. I can't find a picture of it right now.... will edit when I do _________________ cogito ergo sum...thing or other... |

I'm in love with the korg DS-10 'cause everything I make with it sounds like it could in a home star runner toon, I love the music in that. Not quite sure why.
Also the keyboard mage posted IS the keyboard keyboard strong bad's head is based on. _________________ http://alligatr.co.uk/ |

It's the exact one, picture from one of the puppet toons where the cheat plays it:
I know wayyy to much about home star runner, seriously, it consumed my life for a long time. _________________ http://alligatr.co.uk/ |

I have a Radio Shack version of a Casio Keyboard WK-133 or something like that I got from NICK. I use it midi to trigger samples in protools via sampletank and reason.
And this old Baldwin Organ with rotating speaker from a neighbor for FREE.
