Boss Dr. Synth DS-330 arrived today. I am not sure what should I think about it. My first quick test (RoA: Star Trail, of course) wasn't very successful because some sounds are just missing (scream in Blutzinnen/Blood Peaks, heartbeat in final dungeon, drums in Dragon theme...). There is no problem …

Picked up a very cheap boxed Boss DR-330 "Dr.Synth" midi module with manual today. Battery had started to leak but I removed it and there is no damage. Unit works great Any chance you bought it from Austria? Along with Roland keys? No, I bought this off UK eBay. I was overran by somebody few days …

This is surreal.... I never thought that I would get an Amiga1200 for the price of shipping plus what I then decide that it is worth. Right now it is stripped down and the board is hooked up, in order to let it sit idle for that fishy smell. If it needs a recap, then the price will be lowered. …

Seller does not read messages. Dammit! Don't worry.. Look out for a Yamaha TG100 if you don't want to spend much money. It's fully GM compatible and often sold for around 50€ where I live. Search on youtube to see if you like it - (I really do) Thank you, I've already got it :) It is currently …

As you've said. The less ns means it is faster, so if you need 80ns OR FASTER, 60ns should be good.

5 fixed full size 19" shelves and 2 power outlet kits (6 outlets each) with surge protection (everything new from IT store) cost +/- 150 EUR. I'd rather search for used shelves and buy one protected and one unprotected outlet kit for half price. It is not cheap but you can run 6 PC's in relatively …

You can mount railed shelves inside and put many desktops on them. I would definitely take it.

No video with game music, just nothing. Does anyone here have it? Hello, I have this module and can sample some MIDIs for you if you'd like to know how it sounds. Thank you! Maybe music from Gabriel Knight or Doom 2 Level 1..? Also, what is your opinion? It costs half compared to SC-33 here so I …

I have a possibility to buy Yamaha MU15 Tone Generator for a good (?) price but I can find nothing DOS-related about this module. No video with game music, just nothing. Does anyone here have it? Is it even usable for gaming? Thanks!
