I new your name looked familiar. I'm the guy with the Linndrum. You commented on my Korg Polysix video Factory Patches video a few weeks ago. See, its just a small group of us nuts out there.

Really really really loving the LinnDrum! I didn't realise that there were different revs on these. rev 1a ( the one I bought from you) and a rev b. Not much difference at all except they re-postioned a few things on the inside. Indeed, Small synth-world for sure.

Thanks again Steve!

Your films are very helpful.I enjoyed watching how you altered things while playing, I'm not good at this. I put in the F sounds from the tape I bought from Kawai. 2010AD is beautiful and exciting. I played God Save the Queen on this, very peculiar! I liked the one you did after 2010, is that the same sound altered or another you made up? Last week, I got a sound like a melodian by accident, by increasing the filter attack time on a sound by the last owner.

God save the queen = very nice Laura. it would be intereresting to hear that for sure :) I altered patch 2010 just a bit and created it as 2012! I then expanded on that by layering it with Echo-1 in dual mode. Of course you can tweak each of the layered sounds in dual mode for furthur sound shaping. I also have to say I am running one output channel into an analogue delay and the other output dry into an amplifier... So nice to pan different sound textures... All the best!

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. The sounds you are getting out of this SX240 are insane for the price they go for. Very nice, complex sounds. The portamento is awesome.

This is the first piece I learned. It took over two months. When I got the SX240 in March, I hadn't played for 25 years. I read the top for singing but have to think about the bass. I'm learning Bach prelude in C minor. It's taken me a month to do the top from memory, haven't added the bottom yet. I filmed my Aunt playing it on the SX240. She filmed me playing the melody of Equinoxe 4 but I don't know how to do all the parts at once with Jarre's music.
