Keyboard forum?

[morsefull]

Anyone know of a UK forum like Basschat but for Keys ??
I need some advise regarding selling an old analogue synth.
I've done a search but not much has come up.
Cheers .

What synth is it?

[morsefull]

ARP/Solina string ensemble

Thanks, I'll get straight onto it

We have plans for Synthchat after Guitar and Drumchat are set up. It'll be a way off yet though.

[Zenitram]

Oooh.

[Zenitram]

That's a Solina-shaped oooh.

[DaveFry]

Oooh yes .
I used to have one .
Select the brass pre-set and play ; ( ^ means higher pitch , ie go upwards , if not go down )

g ^c ^g
c ^g f
^a f c g
f ^a ^c
c (same note ) ^e ^g
f ^a ^c
e g c

... and that was that sound on the record

You could also try Gearslutz:

but be aware there are very many very knowledgeable people there who, overtly simply put, are very unfriendly.
That said, there's always someone there who'll know the answer and who'll treat you with friendliness.

There are some English guys at the musicplayer.com keys section.

synthchat? Can't they just use this one with their left hand?

I just tried that, I think, and have no idea what song it was supposed to be.

My own shortcomings, no doubt, just to be clear.

Fanfare For The Common Man ELP

And I realised after I posted that I should have indicated that the last f ^a ^c should start a ninth below the previous g .

Famous Solina intro ;

Oh I see! I was playing each line as a chord. Sounded awful.

Slightly OT but...one of my favourite tracks - either as ELP or the original.

Chunking along to the bass line on my Alembic graphite is very satisfying, with the neck pickup through the Trace V8+EBS cab and the bridge pickup through the Burman Pro501. (Fun fact - Greg Lakes bass in the video is serial #791300 and mine is #791309).

The original (non prog) version is exquisite but good versions are hard to find. There have been a few recordings from the 70's I've heard that seem to play over-majestically and it ends up sounding sleepy.
