Doepfer MS 404

devious · 23rd January 2008, 02:26 AM

I just bought one of these on the bay. I need a monophonic that can somewhat fill the void of not having my x0xb0x yet :(.

Anybody? Demos please! There's one on youtube but, how about used in a set? MP3s will do if somebody has made a track with this, let me know what's up? I haven't found much talk about it in the search or maybe I'm blind.

I've heard one other mp3 demo and it sounds mighty fine for what it does, sooo come on, post up your demos of this unit, get me excited to receive it!

[And I just bought my last keyboard I think! I have no more room with a SK-50D in here. My studio is my living room ;) and well, at least there are walking paths!]

Thanks in advance anybody with MS404 demos willing to share!

Fuc.k yes!!

I havn't scored anything quite that cool, but I did get a 4 channel DJ mixer for my drum machines and other instruments for dirt cheap last week, and it's bliss.

Good to see yuh here D!

I don't know if it's cool, yet! I guess that's why I am asking for somebody who may have experience with it and have some music they've done up with it just so I can get an idea of where it hits the spot.

I just want my x0xb0x kit damnit.

:)

And yes, I am here. I keep forgetting I am on gearslutz. Too many forums damnit!!!

So you're the one that won the SK-50D, eh? I was keeping a watch on that one because it kept coming up while searching for CS15's. You've gotta post some audio demos of that soon. I'm deathly curious about how it sounds after seeing that on eBay for son long during my searches.

No, I did not win the one on ebay. I bought mine with bass pedals and all for 450 from a local guy! :) I talked to the guy who did buy the one on ebay first though for some input because we share many of the same interests [astronomy, music, life] hah!

I'll get some demos in the future.

Anyways, I had a 303 here for a few weeks. It went off to Germany though. I liked it, but I couldn't afford it so somebody in Germany took it for me on ebay and the guy shipped to the US only ;) so it came here and I sent it on its way just last week to Germany to the rightful owner who did pay the seller for it, heehee. 1200 dollars wasn't a bad deal, but at the time, I had lost my fifth gear in my car after winning it! So I had to buy a new part for my car [priorities] and after playing with it, I wanted a x0xb0x :-D after locals let me play with theirs, and here I sit on a forever waiting list :(
Just wanted something to fill the void, yup.

i got a 404 and its great :) doesn't sound anything like a 303, but that is a good thing. More 70's sound.

best thing is you can feed any audio through the filter and overdrive it, and the filter is the best thing about it! full and fat sounding.

great sound for bass and some leads. its quite limited in its sounds, but what it can do it sounds great.

if you get any crackling with any knobs (due to dirt getting in), try some circuit cleaner sprayed into the front of them (don't bother trying to open it, no need)

hope you enjoy it!
