Title: Famous Synths Post by: midipuppies on August 12, 2009, 04:36:47 AM I know that a lot of you have been closely involved in repairing E-mus over the years. Ever had any big name bands/players gear come through? I'd be interested to hear.....
Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: dr.c on August 12, 2009, 10:17:48 AM What does it mean : "bands/players gear come through?"
For wich we have repaired machines ? Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: midipuppies on August 12, 2009, 12:48:10 PM Exactly. I bet you have had lots come through your shop.
Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: dr.c on August 12, 2009, 01:14:54 PM The ones for wich I fixed machines : JM Jarre, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Depeche-Mode, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Midnight Oil, Rod Stewart, Indochine, Suzanne Vega, Madonna, Rickie Lee Jones, I can't even remember, I will scan a folder from the company, you will see...
It was called "Music-Land" in Paris. Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: midipuppies on August 12, 2009, 04:48:24 PM What did Depeche Mode have? Emax, Emulator? Did you copy any sounds!?? :o :o :o :o
Sorry- I love Depeche Mode! Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: dr.c on August 12, 2009, 11:03:42 PM It was an E2.
Copy sounds : did you even hear about something called : "deontology" ? Sorry about the answer, but it is at the measure of the question. Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: Elmbeatz on August 13, 2009, 01:50:04 AM .... Stevie Wonder .... Hey Doc! Do you still remember what you had from him? Maybe you can help me identifying my #001 Emulator... Greetz, Elm. Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: dr.c on August 13, 2009, 05:56:18 AM It was a Kurzweil K250

I think it was about the 7th CMI sold.. Title: Re: Famous Synths Post by: Gul Dukat on January 10, 2010, 02:05:58 AM Don't laugh. But more than 15 years ago I bought my E-mu Drumulator (ok, it's not a synth ! ;-) from a man living ~30km from my house (it was a notice of sale in a newspaper). When I met him I recognized him as "Ricky King", a famous guitar player here in Germany who has sold over 6 millions of records. When I was a child i loved his song "Verde" which has been a number one hit here centuries ago:

It was called "Music-Land" in Paris. That's quite the roster ! It's nice knowing the gear you can easily acquire for your studio these days was once, or still is being used by some of the all time greats. The sky's the limit for the home studio ! |
