@francaisemusique Yep just MIDI out on one to MIDI in on the other and the slave unit set accordingly.
MIDI is quite a simple system, the only thing that can make it a pain is setting up each unit to function properly with in a larger MIDI set up but that's only because each unit has a different interface for programming. The principals of MIDI remain straight forward.
You might get lucky and find a 505 at a Thrift store or a cash convertors or something like that but generally eBay is the place to go if you want to get one quickly. you have to be careful on ebay but I bought my entire set up there with minimal trouble.
If you scout around hard ware forums you might find somebody willing to sell a 505 (thats how I got my 727) but there is a chance the risk may be even higher that way, Good luck whatever you do and put a video up when you get it :)
@snolan1990 exactly quickly means ebay . but i find that old equipment seems to be more satisfying when it comes from a thrift store ( like my arp odyssesy and juno 60 and EPS ) or from the swapmeet ( like my departed 505 and my soon to be sold dr 550 and my tr 77 ) or just randomly from a stranger who "happens to have a..... ( like my sh1000 and juno 106 ) or from a pawnshop ( like my polysix and tr 707) everytime someone buys one of these on ebay the price goes up for us patient people
@PHAEDRIDER If you live outside the USA then you will very rarely find any synths in pawn shops because there are simply so fewer over here. I have been going to carboot sales and pawn shops for about 3 years looking for synths and all I have ever found was my JX-3P (which was actually about £10 more than the average eBay rate at the time) and my DR-110 which I got for £20 (which was a bargain). In the USA yeah you can find stuff locally but anywhere else you pretty much have to use eBay.
Very nice! I was thinking of selling my 707 but honestly don't know lol I love it but I sampled it in my S-3200XL and I could do with the cash.hmmmm love the bongos in the 626 use them a lot in my MPC
You could probably get well over £200 for your 707 on ebay if you have the box still.
I use the 626 as a poor mans 727 I'm looking for a Juno 60 with JSQ-60 sequencer as my next buy then maybee an S1000 when I have the cash, once you get into this stuff it sapps all your money :)
Mate I don't just have the box, I still have the original Roland batteries, leads and everything that came with it...it's basicaly new the guy just had it in storage...Box is a bit tatty but all there.
Yeah I know about the money thing lol
I want a S-900/950 as a poor mans MPC-60 and also a S-1000 for the fact I always wanted one hahah
Juno-60's are lovely..see you like the old Chicago house sound..the 60 makes that lovely larry heard bass mmm even though he had a JP-6 and 707
Juno, Sequencer, Mixer and Moniters are all still on my shopping list.
I can't wait to have everything fully functioning until them its all a bit haphazard. I'm going to get rid of that desk in this video and build myself a big desk this week so i can atleast get what i have set up nicely.
Have you thought of a Midi to DCB convertor for the Juno..there are also MIDI retro fits but they cost a lot, I saw a MIDI to DCB convertor on ebay only a few weeks ago and it didn't go for a bad price
I will have to look into that, I cant find much info on the JSQ-60 which is what I will be sycnching to if it is Din compatible i can just slave it to the 707 if not i will get a DCB - MIDI box.
I am slowly building up some gear Mixer next then I will have to save up for a while to get a Juno 60. I was thinking about getting an MC-202 for a while, how do you get on with yours?
Hi, programming the 202 is a bit difficult however it sounds nice (same synth basically than the sh101). I put 2 "howto's" at my youtube, see for yourself.
TR-707 will cost you around £200, TR-626 will cost you around £50, SP-808 will cost you around £180 and MC-303 will be about £100. Those are all eBay prices if you find them in cash convertors or at the carboot sale you can expect to pay alot less in most cases.
very tasty and powerfull

Hey does anybody know where you can get a tr-505. E-bay is going to be a last resort for me (got ripped off once).

you could try looking into electronic music/noise music forums and post a want for the item, thats what i did. Found it pretty effective, good luck.

I already got the 505, but since the search for gear never stops, thanks for the info.
Got a TR-505 and an MC-303 already. Going for a Korg EMX-1 hopefully sometime this year or so.

Cool man, what sequencer are you planing on buying?
I want all my old Clavia and Waldorf gear back lol
vinyljunkie07 2 years ago
I will have to do some research but I think I will have to get the JSQ-60 for the Juno.
Do you still have your Micro Modular or your SH-32?
You seem to have a set up you are very comfortable with its always great to see you on the 2000XL.
snolan1990 2 years ago
Thanks :-)
The Micro and SH went a long time ago :-(
