Perhaps we should let this thread survive until we have had Irad back ?

If not, I am quite capable to list a lot of excellent nonexisting japanese products which never will be in mass production any time soon.

shoot, don't feel bad about your gear; i've a pretty earthy rig myself. An old ghetto Yamaha 4-track, Boss DR-202 Dr. Groove drum machine, coffee-stained Equinox mixing board, Casio SK-5, Boss ME-30 guitar multieffects pedal (which just about everything gets run through courtesy of the mixer's aux in/outs), a couple old microphones, guitar w/Rat and Vox wah pedals, Boss TU-2 guitar tuner, bass, trumpet, melodica, small Fender Frontman guitar amp, a big crappy super-dirty cymbal and an eight foot long piece of sheet metal with a pickup stuck to it. It's the other two guys in the band that have all the "nice" stuff, half of which I don't even know what they're called. There's a pedal steel guitar, a TR-707, a Gibson Echoplex, and a whole bunch of other whizbang crap.

My setup is basicly a Juno 60, an Alpha Juno 1, a Matrix 1000, a DR-660, a DM5, a TX-7, a TR-505, an HR-16, a Peavey Spectrum Filter that I believe has gone on to eat the bread of life with Jesus, a Mackie 32-8 with non-functional mains and VU meter lights (the result, I suspect, of letting someone else move it to OK for me), my Ibanez bass, Samick guitar, Yamaha acoustic, some pedal effects here and there, then my PCs with an array of softsynths and plugs and crap all centered around Sonar. Blah. I'm not much of a gearhead or a geartalker. Sorry.

In my opinion, everyone has something to contribute, both musically and philosophically, regardless of their experience/knowledge/gear.
So keep those posts coming!

Hey all,

I was searching through the forums for threads on good books for general synth programming/sound creation, and I thought this thread (and others) was pretty good for some must-read books...

I've heard a lot about "The Complete Guide to Synthesizers" by Devarahi, but it wasn't mentioned here.. and from the prices I've seen it go for, it seems like a big deal. Anyone know much about it? I was wondering if it was really worth tracking down, or maybe other books suffice.

Thanks for putting up a good community, I feel pretty good posting here.
