Trading Synthesizers

Have you ever wondered if it was possible to trade up to another piece of gear literally?
For Example: To go from a Yamaha DX200 to a Devil Fish Modded TB-303 in less than a year? Is it even possible?

I have a Yamaha DX200 and am offering it for trade. If you’d like to have this and have something of value to offer, send an e-mail to supercool [at] chartermi [dot] net
Respond soon!

I will document the process on this website to see if it is possible. If you have any stories, send them in. Thanks!

Happy Holidays.

Video: Akai AX80 Demo by Syntezatory

The blue and orange florescent LCD displays use a simple and intuitive bar-graph format to show all its parameters and values, making for one of the best on-board displays ever!

The AX-80 has the privilege of being the first pro-keyboard produced by Akai, released in 1984

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Chip-Tunes Album Free

I’ve been working on a new album for the past few months and am releasing a free MP3 download of the first half – sort of a preview, I suppose. The album is entitled 8-Bit Jesus and contains 9 tracks thus far. Each one is a chip-tune version of a classic Christmas song done in the style of a different NES game.

If you have any electronic based or chip tune christmas music you’ve made this year please share a link with us by emailing supercool (at) chartermi (dot) net. I will definitely put it in a post before christmas.

Christmas Wishlist

Don’t know what to buy yourself for christmas? Check out this toy list for some holiday ideas.

1. Roland SPD-20 Total Percussion Pad $650
Instead of getting a PS3 with Rock Band, why not grab a Roland 8 pad drum kit with 700 sounds loaded into it?

2. Korg Kaoscillator $200
100 of Korg’s world renowned synth sounds right at your finger tip.

3. Sterling Audio ST51 Large Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone $99
This microphone is the top rated in the under 100 dollar range in a number of realworld tests. I would rather have this than an m-audio mic or any other costing 3 times its price.

4. Korg DS-10 For Nintendo DS $36
For only 36 dollars and Amazon delivery this video game / synth will be on everyone’s list.

5. Hal Leonard Rock Keyboard $12
Learn different Rock styles and chords to play along with the CD. If you are a beginner or intermediate I recommend this one as it helped my playing and improvising.

6. Stocking stuffer pick: Disney Hannah Montana Guitar with Bonus Amp



NO! Well if I’m not the grandaddy of all liars!
