I have strings, flutes and choir and cello, violins and brass. The sounds are selected with a knob that moves each of the three tracks on the tape over the heads - you can also jam it in between so adjacent sounds will play together. I particularly love doing this with violins/brass-I first...

I played a MK II many, many years ago and have played lots of M400s, none of which have ever responded the same! There are a lot of mechanical adjustments on a 'torn (a bit like a Rhodes in that respect) that can affect playability and/or introduce playback artifacts. On the early M400s, you...

Only a six month wait for this one! It's probably his last, so I thought I'd splash out. Stephen

Only 45 years to wait for this one. The best version of Here comes the Flood by Peter Gabriel too, though the one he played on Pebble Mill at One and the version on Fripp’s Exposure come close. The Bush/Gabriel Duo version of Another day is superb. Stephen

I'm pretty sure it's a Sound Factory triangular, as I realised that I'd already asked about this several years ago and a nice PFM-er sold me an extra SF level!. Stephen

It's a Sound Factory triangular — just to remind myself if I need to get extra bits in the future! Stephen

Probably 2006/7. NAC 102/NAP 180/CD3.5/Naim Intro II/LP12/Rega Arm (RB300)/Linn Cartridge (KLYDE?). I still have the LP12, Rack and Zerostat (I think all three I bought/was given used from Graham H of this parish). Anyone know what the rack make is? Stephen

Hi all. Looking for a 52 with MC Phono boards. I already have a Supercap but might go for a 52/52PS if the price is right. Thanks!

I'm in Norwich, UK Stephen

Hi all I've just picked up a Tandberg TCD 310. I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for someone to service the deck? Regards Stephen

While I have most of the studio albums on vinyl, listening to the whole in one go makes you realise how sonically interesting the albums are—even their hit singles are a recording tour de force. Pop music in the 1970s was so inventive. Stephen who owns a Gizmotron.

It'd be useful to have the specifications—what chip, how many cores? Stephen

Indeed. Mythology has it that it was all an early hardware version of AT. I've see that denied and confirmed in various interviews! Ah for the old days when you needed to use gas to change your voice. 'In 'Willow Farm' Gabriel sings 'Mum to mud to mad to dad', his voice apparently changing...

I agree that computers can do, and allow us to do, very boring tasks. I am a spreadsheet fan and wrote my own before VisiCalc conquered the earth. And I agree that ML has potential to do amazing (and dangerous) things. Pattern recognition is a wonderful and terrible thing. I was talking about...

Autotune has become a generic term for pitch correction (like Moog or Hoover) but it has other uses beyond the obvious 'Cher effect' (although there is some debate, whether that was actually an early version of AT or something very different), but the effect is the same). Say you play a guitar...
