Mehringer bebeefelte a fél popszakmát...

[gabortob43]

én szeretnélek baszd meg, de így nem lehet szeretni

Száz ugyanolyan nőben, azt az egyetlent keresni..

minden reggel felkelve, még mélyebbre esni

én szeretnélek szeretni, de nem szerethet senki..

az ablakba ő virágot rak, én oda csak szívni járok

azt hiszem az ő lelkénél, soha szebbet nem találok

ha elindulok a lejtőn, az mindig csontig hatol

hogy rakhatnád rendbe magad, hogyha mindig iszol?!

én nem kérhetem senkitől, hogy óvjon téged tőlem

pedig van mit eltakarnod, és nekem is van bőven.

new music Friday started early and very strong this week. Mehringer never misses, I’m obsessed

[mergezoszavak]

ha elindulok a lejtőn

az mindig csontig hatol

hogy rakhatnád rendbe magad

hogyha mindig iszol

"Önfeledten elfelejtem,

Hogy mi régen kéz a kézben,

Már nem zavar, hogy ha néznek,

Édesebb a szabad élet

Egy életem egy halálom

Megcsalom most a magányom

Részegen, ég veled!"

Ch-ch-ch-changes

So these things happened.

The first of the two Black Corporation synths I now own. Yes, two. One is no small feat in itself. This thing is weird. Right up my alley. Makes you re-think what you "know" about how to program an analog (or otherwise) synth. Yamaha definitely had a unique way of doing things, and they replicated it very well with this re-imagining of the great and venerable CS-80. I'm still getting to grips with this. Two identical parts arranged as horizontal rows, each with its own complete synth package (VCO, VCF, VCA), that can be mixed and then further manipulated with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch. I didn't have a controller that could do polyphonic aftertouch so I bought a used Launchpad Pro mk1 for cheap and it works fucking fine. This synth will keep me occupied and mystified for a good long time.

And this is the second Black Corp synth I have now. Kijimi. This thing is a fucking freak on meth. I haven't tried to program a sound yet because I'm still exploring the sounds it came loaded with, trying to figure out what exactly the fuck is going on. Loads of mod possibilities, and there's the polyphonic aftertouch here as well. Some really, really weird sounds in this thing. My only complaints about the Black Corp synths is the LED display is small as fuck so I have to break out the reading glasses or it's hopeless. THINK OF YOUR AGING CUSTOMERS! WHO ELSE HAS THE MONEY TO BUY THESE DAMN THINGS?! Yeah they totally are not cheap.

One I've wanted since I saw it new in the showroom ages ago back in Florida. This one was totally refurbished, new tact switches, red goo problem fixed, sliders rebuilt, washed, waxed and ready to go. Another Not Cheap synth. I'm still working my way around it. I downloaded patches made by Jexus and Conforce (had to buy those but that wasn't a problem). SO many things going on under the hood. Having physical, immediate control over just about everything is a godsend, satansend, whatever. Would be nice to have a waveform card though, as this lacks the super stock found in the later JD and JV series. That's about the only thing I can whinge about. Super nice synth.

Novation Peak. This is a beast too. Novation's best synth to date. I sold the Nova a few weeks back. Sold off a shitload of stuff actually. Did a huge freelance job and got a ginormous paycheck thus the synth mayhem. Anyway, this is a real gem of a synth. Sounds fantastic. Awesome that people like Legowelt are designing patches for it that you can download off their site or through the app they want you to get, which is no big deal at all. Super nice.

And now for the Holy Shit Hell Hath Frozen Over moment. I thought I'd take a chance, roll my dice, and check out a Mehringer synth. The Cat does not disappoint. Very solid construction, has a good heft to it, the knobs are much sturdier and less flimsy than expected, and it sounds fucking awesome. Totally blew me away. How much so? I bought a Mehringer Wasp. I built two Jaspers, so I think I know what a Wasp should sound like, and how one should behave, and they nailed it. The Wasp to me is not a very exciting synth, I mean it certainly lacks in the modulation department compared to the Cat, but it sounds nice in its own way, and can do its own thing. Honestly I'm on the hunt for a Pro-1 now. Totally threw me for a loop, these synths. Still don't like Mehringer for their business practices, but these clones are way nicer than the Roland Boutique series, larger and easier to tweak, and they feel much more well-built. Here's something to entertain you for a second that showcases the sounds of some of these new machines of mine:
