Re: Roland CM-32LN

From what I understand it is the final version that was released of the CM-32L but works just like it. The case style looks a bit sleeker than the original CM-32L. Does anyone know of any outstanding differences or improvements this version has over the original CM-32L? AFAIK, the CM-32LN has the …

Re: YAMAHA MU80 vs MU50

Yes I now see what you are talking about after listening to those recordings. I listened to some recordings of the AG-10 from youtube and it sounds better than the NS5R. I went on eBay to get an idea at how much an AG-10 costs and could not find a single one. Are they high in demand or not very …

Re: YAMAHA MU80 vs MU50

I was thinking of, for example, a Korg NS-5R or NX-5R (NS-5R with Yamaha XG-compatible daughterboard). I listened to the Korg NS-5R on youtube and although it did not sound as sophisticated as a Roland and Yamaha sound module it did have a more basic console-ish sound to it if you know what I mean. …

Re: Your favourite 3DMark?

MadOnion XL-R8R (circa 2000 I believe?). Not an official 3DMark benchmark (more of a demo really), but I believe it was made by the same group? Anyway, love the music, the opening ship scene, the GiTS reference, the Abyss alien... good stuff all around.

Re: Questions on a contemporary gaming PC

My budget isn't particularly limited, but still I am a greedy one and want to think of a 'bang per buck'. That's why I thought of an used 16-core Opteron 6380 which is maybe $150-200 16 cores may be overkill for the desktop even in this day and age. Server applications are designed to scale with …

Re: Westwood Monopoly Roland SC-88 Recording?

New Monopoly recordings are up! Completely re-recorded, no longer drenched in reverb and I think a number of stereo issues got fixed as well. Let me know if there are any issues in any of these. :) New versions are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmOd77O7F88&list= …

Re: Questions on a contemporary gaming PC

2. Opterons are processors designed for servers. Probably not what you want for a desktop PC. Personally, I'd go with the best CPU you can afford, and Intel has generally be preferable to AMD for awhile now. If you can afford it, go for something like a Intel i7-7700. You should be reasonably ' …

Re: Westwood Monopoly Roland SC-88 Recording?

You're quite right, in giving these a re-listen they are drenched in reverb. That's what I get for not paying close enough attention the first time I recorded them. 😵 Anyway, I'll give these a re-do after I do a reinit of the SC-88, so the results are closer to the stock sound of the SC-88.

Re: Overclocking/trashing vs. longevity of retro hardware.

For those who want period correct, an overclocked Celery 300A or Barton 2500+ is simply emblematic of enthusiast hardware of their time. Not too many people bought P2-450s or Barton 3200+ (400mhz FSB versions) because they were extremely expensive and could essentially be replicated (or exceeded in …
