[microsound] VCS3

[Pat Gillis <smidev@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

 

What Malte has posted is correct.

 

The waiting list is, last I heard, over a year, maybe two.  Be aware that
these synths have not gotten less expensive over time.

 

The prices Ludwig Rehberg changes for this gear are pretty outrageous.  Not,
IMO, 'outrageous' in a good way.  I believe Robin Wood/EMS UK can offer
better pricing.

 

When I got a Synthi AKS back in 1989 (same as VCS3, but in a briefcase, with
a digital sequencer), Robin had a long list of modifications, a number of
which I got.  He was very helpful in explaining the ramifications of each
and I was happy with the results.  He was the soul of patience with my
questions and many who have dealt with him have expressed great appreciation
(do a search in the AH archives, there should be several posts to this
effect there).  

 

Drop me a line off-list if you have any questions a former user may be able
to answer (sold mine in 1999 to finance another modular with more numerous
options).

 

Cheers,

 

Pat

Hey does anyone know if EMS (http://www.ems-synthi.demon.co.uk/) is still in


business?

 

I e-mailed them a few weeks back to inquire about the VSC3 and have had no 

response.

 

Maybe someone here could help me, do the new-made models come with the 

modifications, that made the original so much more useable, as standard?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark.
