Replicas tubeway army rar: The legacy and impact of Tubeway Army's synth-pop landmark



The idea of vintage keyboard procuring/repairing/selling brings out the loathesome capitalist in me. 125 for an MS20? That ain't bad. But selling it for 23, I might infect myself with Covid over that. I got an Arp Odyssey once for 60 bucks, restored it to mint, and idiotically sold it on Ebay for 6 or 8 hundred (an acquaintance/friend got an ARP 2600 for 40 bucks at this flea market we used to go to at 4 a.m.). That Compact Duo also went on Ebay for a thousand. And countless others passed through my hands. Fuck! Why do I do this? (Well, I know why: I needed money badly at the time.)Now they've got reboots of a lot of that stuff. The MS20 (and the miniaturized one) and the like are cool, and true to form--exact replications of the analog circuitry. But the combo organ "replicas" are lame, and based on physical modeling. I don't know why: the tone generation and modulation circuitry can all be replicated faithfully, while the control stuff can be updated with CMOS ics or even microntrollers, and you'd still have a cheaper, lighter weight, but _authentic_ sounding machine. Seriously, Korg and Behringer ought to be employing me, to do it right (I have no complaints with Arturia though).I'm even cool with the miniaturization aspects, just keep the sounds as they were. In fact, my present "rig" is mini--for reasons of economy, portability, and 'cuz it looks cool: Indian harmonium w/ simple foot pedal mech to operate bellows, all diy effects and drones, and diy "semi-intelligent" analog drum machine. It all fits into a large suitcase. I came up with the ultra-pared down idea first, but it's also presently influenced by the incredibly awesome 75 Dollar Bill: =JB_2WJ1tV14&t=615s -at-cafe-otoThose guys rip! Cajons and Cajon-like instruments are kind of a "thing" now, owing to some lame-ass shitheels, but Rick Brown totally owns it. He even plays in 25/8. If I could find someone who knew how to rock on a wooden crate, I'd pursue that, but I only have dog friends these days (and some foxes, bears, moose, and chipmunks).
