Congratulations with your new old Rhodes, Paul Dither! They sound darn good and I just love that sound! So can I lobby for a jazzy/electronic youtube jam one day with your new Rhodes?
Haha, somehow I was expecting that kind of question. Dunno yet - I do have a Jazz past, though. I have to point out that I only purchased the Rhodes so far, but do not have it at home yet. It's still to be delivered, which also means that not everything is ultimately set yet. When it's not in the promised condition, I would return it, as I don't want to spend a fortune on refurbishing it, especially since I still want a Prophet-6.
Do you happen to know Rheyne? He quite often puts drive on his Rhodes and it sounds great. Wonder if your MF-104M supports drive too? Also wonder how your Pro 2, Sub 37 and possibly Evolver can process the Rhodes sounds for added fun? There are plenty of options there.
I didn't know Rheyne, will check him out. And yes, the MF-104M has the built-in drive, but that might not be necessary in the end, since one of the mods I've been thinking about is this one:
Lots of good ideas with regard to the Pro 2 and Sub 37, dslsynth. I didn't even think of that to be honest. But yeah, that definitely would be fun.
Getting a pile of eurorack modules may sound tempting given how everyone these days seems to be heading in that credit card drain compatible direction. For a really evolved Heinz demanding case of modular runaway made by someone with almost devine powers .
Good stuff, but it'll probably take me years to get there.
However with your Pro 2 you already got a synthesizer that interfaces well with eurorack gear. So a single module or two would be plenty. The Moog modular cases are nice and compact but of cause needs a power supply module too.
True. However, there are lots of nice modules that could take over a complementary function. Stuff I'd be interested in includes Waldorf's nw1, Mutable Instruments' Cloud and Elements, Verbos Electronics' Harmonic Oscillator, and Make Noise's Maths and René to name a few.
As for the Moog cases: Yeah, not including a power supply is kind of a bummer. They are also relatively small and not very practical in terms of transportation. And to get back to topic: I have to say that I'm not overwhelmed by the Mother-32. I mean it looks appealing and sounds nice, but I think its best place is for people, who just start with a system. If I'd be a teenager right now and only had a MiniBrute and stuff like that, I could see myself going there and then follow the modular path. For where I'm now, the Mother-32 is not that appealing, neither would be 2 or 3 Mothers. And although it doesn't sound too shabby, don't expect it to blow you away when it's used dry (i.e. without tons of reverb or delay). Soundwise, instruments like the Korg Odyssey had a bigger effect on me.
