Dumpster Buffet

Do you ever find yourself faced with a large number of options, only to realize that each and every one of them is absolute garbage and in the end you're totally fucked no matter what? Pretty much sums up my feelings towards political goings on in the UN-United Snakes of A Merry Cow. Oh don't get me wrong, I'm all for whoever (whomever?) is going to rid the universe of the travesty to sentient life that is Conald J Drumpf and his entire crime family and entourage. But it all feels so fucking hopeless. Personally, I registered to vote by absentee ballot considering I live on the other side of the planet, but upon checking the relevant homepage to see where the fucking hell my goddam ballot is this late in the game, I see it was marked "mailed" on September 18th (that's a month and ten goddam days ago, people). In contrast, I have received things I've ordered off eBay and other US-based online shops, and none of those things took more than ten days—the last one took less than a week! Ah, this is how democracy dies. Yeah, a real dumpster buffet indeed. Fucking hell. Enough! On with the normal irregularly scheduled baloney!

It's Yamaha time! I dunno how I got interested in the VSS-30. Saw this one on the auction here, with this in the description, "Used to work, but I tried it recently and it wouldn't turn on." Checked eBay to see if they were still getting stupid money for these (they are). OK, let's bid 100 bucks and see what happens. $75 won it. Came in the original box, but no manual, oh well. Plugged it in to a spare Yamaha adapter I have and it worked no problem. Hmmmm. Maybe the dude was trying to run it on batteries? Opened it up and yikes the (-) spring terminal was corroded something fierce. Popped it out, slapped it in a shot glass filled with vinegar, and half an hour later it was clean. The wire broke off where it was soldered to the terminal while I had it soaking. Soldered it back together and everything is groovy now.

Other Yamaha happenings... I forget if I blabbed about this one but I don't think I did. I sold the TQ-5 I had here recently. Then a week later I saw a B200 for stupid cheap. The seller said the power button died so he wired up a rocker switch and installed that on the side where the output jacks are, and that otherwise, everything was fine. What the hell, why not? It's a lot more fun than the TQ was, but of course I feel that way about any keyboard versions of module synths. I was surprised how goddam LOUD the onboard speakers were too. Specs say 20W per channel and I don't think they're lying. Oof. It was one of the first in the EOS (Entertainment Operating System) line of synths. Evidently Tetsuya Komuro was a huge user/programmer/spokesperson for the EOS synths. I pretty much can't stand anything that fool has had his hands in, so it's virtually shocking that I actually bought this synth. But anyway, it works fine with a CTRLR editor for the TX81Z that you can download for free. You see, with the B200, like the YS200 and TQ5, the things you can actually edit from the front panel are SUPER limited, and I'm not shitting you about this, they've whittled the number of editable parameters down to like twenty or so, and the nomenclature is completely different to boot, so forget about programming patches from scratch with any of the synths in this family (I mean the YS100, YS200, B200 and TQ5, and I think there was another, DS55 or something?). If you have an editor, they will respond to sysex and you can change the algorithms and waveforms and all individual envelope settings and all that. If not, you get five categories of parameters: EG, TONE, LFO, NAME, EFFECT, and that's it. Under EG, you can alter the attack, decay and release of Tone, Volume, or both at the same time, but only by a factor of +/-10. Changes DO have an audible effect so that's nice. It's a bit weird. TONE lets you fool with Brilliance, Wave and Input-4Nos! (this lets you select the waveforms of the four operators but you'll have to hunt high and low before finding out exactly what those waveforms are). Brilliance seems to work like a basic filter or equalizer, with higher settings giving sharper, brighter sounds, and I feel like this is maybe tweaking the level of modulators to carriers? Wave wreaks havoc in a good way, and I'm not really sure what is going on here. Seems like Brilliance on steroids. LFO deals with the LFO. NAME... um, yeah, name. EFFECT lets you select which of the nine effects you want, or none, and just being able to slap a simple hall reverb on a pad sound makes a world of difference. I've sent TX81Z sysex to it and it worked fine. Combed through like 40 something banks I found online. Bought a memory card off eBay, and to my surprise it came loaded with compatible sounds! No idea what the previous owner used the card with but I am not complaining at all. I was gonna go and save the patches from those 40 banks that I thought were interesting, but again, surprise surprise! Most of those sounds were already there. WEIRD!!! Anyway, it's easy to take a preset sound that is somewhat in the neighborhood of a sound you have in mind and then tweak the few parameters that you can from the front panel, and get interesting results doing so. But, even though the CTRLR editor does the job, and you get total programmability, it doesn't make much sense unless you're super familiar with how FM works, and I am far from it, so I dunno how I feel about it altogether. Neat synth in any case. I'd like to get the iPad editor and the TQ5 panel, but my iPad is ancient so unless I'm going to shell out a few hundred bucks for a newer iPad.... well... Hmmmm.

Stolen from the internet, this photo. Heh. Weird synth. Fun anyway.

The last item in my series of Yamaha stuff is the DR100 Digital Reverb, a half-rack weirdo reverb processor. I've had other things in this same line of half-rack effectors from Yamaha before (a super freaky guitar processor loved by a certain Legowelt, just for one). They're all pretty much well into oddball territory and this reverb is no exception. It's a very slimmed down processor, with only four preset reverbs to choose from, but it has a 3-band EQ as well as a mix knob, so that livens things up a bit. crank the knobs for some super what-the-hell-are-you-thinking settings! I have the VSS-30 run through it at the moment, and it adds to the fun, let me tell ya. And at this point, I need all the fun I can get! That's all for now, my invisible internet pals.

Not dead yet?

Yeah me neither but it ain’t for a lack of trying. Not that I’m going ‘round licking doorknobs or doing dumb shit like that, mind you. Just living life normally—full of rage, hating society at large, and wishing a sudden, dramatic and catastrophic end to the world. Bwahahahaha!!

So the reason why I dropped the SK-15 so fast was because of the above. Korg EPS-1 from 1983. It’s in mint condition, but I found out after I got it that voice 8 in the piano section is dead. Strings section works fine. So I just use the output from the strings section and ignore piano for now (separate outs for both as well as a mix out). Hope to troubleshoot and fix it soon, and with all the coronanonsense going on, I may be in a “work from home” shituation (not a typo) very very soon. In any case, I read someplace that the strings section of this thing is the same as what was used in the Trident. Don’t know if that’s true, but it does sound good. This fucking thing is velocity sensitive too! What the hell? Polysix era shit, I mean look at the knobs if you can see them in the photo (same as Polysix. Mono/Poly). helluva big machine too, it’s like six octaves and three keys. Fun shit.

Rack attack. I sold the Timeline and Space, and got a TC Electronics M350 to fill their place. Delay and reverb in one unit. I’d been using the pedals in a kind of wasteful manner—set and forget. No point in having a bunch of knobs on a small effects processor if you’re not going to use them at all. And those two are pricey as fuck to just have sitting in one spot collecting dust really. Anyway so yeah M350. Under that is a D-TWO, probably my favorite rack delay ever. This thing is really neat. I love the tap rhythm function, as well as the reverse options. Much more complex than a simple delay. Great shit. The Korg AM8000R is under that. I wrote about that weirdo before. WEIRDO!!! Love it. And the final contender, at the bottom, down but not out, the venerable Roland JV-2080. Yes, Legowelt, it’s TOTALLY your fault I have this one (again). But it was a steal at $90, I shit you not, and it came with an expansion card, though not a sought after one—the “experience” expansion. I remembered how wonderful the D-, JD-, JV-, and XV- series synths sounded after I got the MC-505 (same basic engine but with what I think is a different selection of waveforms). Programming sounds on the MC was a breeze. But, I hadn’t really touched it since I came back from the US last summer so off it went. Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, so I want the D-JD- JV- XV- sound in my arsenal. Browsing the auction, I saw one for cheap, buy it now for $90 so I did. Spent a while playing and programming and was like goddam I need a JD-990. So yeah one of those is on the way. haa!

The last mystery member I’ve added to the family is the oddball Yamaha TQ5. It’s an EOS B200, or YS200 for the foreign market, in a box. Kind of like if you’d slapped a TX81Z, an REX50 and an 8-track sequencer together and stuck them in what looks like an answering machine, really. Freaky as fuck, man. Has the DX flavor because FM duhhh, but not as balls to the wall as a DX7 (really I’m always thinking DX7-II D when I think DX7)... but still very very nice for what it is. I found free editing software online, but haven’t had time to dive in quite yet. There are easy edit controls on the unit itself though, and it is possible to change the sound in straightforward though not extravagant ways, and for now that’s enough. Really neat little fucking wackjob of a synth module though!

Well my ethereal pals, that’s all for now. Stay as well as you can. See ya around!
