New music gear
« on: July 18, 2008, 06:22:50 PM »
Interest level probably isn't high, but I thought I'd post some pics of my new music equipment.

Today, my M-Audio Axiom 61 keyboard controller (and cables) arrived.

Monday, I got the Roland JV-1080 synthesizer, from eBay, for $170. Pretty popular when it came out in 1994. Trammell used this synth pretty heavily on the Weather Channel set that we all know and love. When I opened up the expansion bay, there were $400 worth of rare expansions in it!  :faint: :wow:

The Expansion boards in the JV-1080 are really kick-ass looking. :clap:

So yah, I'll be able to crank out some pretty bitchin music. I'm still waiting on my FireWire audio interface, and software.

P.S., new smilies?

Roland JV-1080 synthesizer :P


Hehe yah.


So now, I have these 2 to get:

Digital Performer 5 (list price $500, w/ student discount i pay $325) Trammell uses this; some of the best software out there.


MOTU 828 FireWire audio interface ($150-250 on ebay)


MOTU is an amazing brand.

My parents are buying it for me, as a present (long story). However, I am chipping in.

So everything's complete now. :yes:

Only thing is that it didn't come with a manual, and MOTU charges like $20 for replacement manuals.  <_<
