(was) Sad (not anymore) News about Dadrian's Covers

"Well, I ran into a little snag..."

There has been a major halt on covers since I finished "Val". I had to have my Memorymoog synth serviced to be able to run extended periods of time without crapping out. It's nearly 40 years old! It was supposed to be finished by now, but the tech told me today it's gonna be 6-8 more weeks! I'm really bummed.

Virtually every cover on my list uses the Memorymoog (included the little song from "The Maze" I've been working on the past couple of months).

I will try hard to find a cover to do without the Memorymoog during this lapse.

Thanks to all of you who enjoy the covers for hanging in there with me. I promise to make it worth the wait!

is there no chance to emulate that thing

Yes I have a synth that emulates it very well, but imagine if Definitely Miami had aired with DJ’s stunt double in every scene delivering every line. The Memorymoog is the Crockett of the MV score. 

My previous covers before I had the Memorymoog are like all those little scenes you didn’t even realize the stunt double was in until you looked closely at the Blu Ray. :)

Well said, and Fairlight along with DX-7 are as much important synths in MV score like Tubbs in our beloved show.  :)

It’s just maintenance. Capacitors and chips are identical to the originals, so it will be like new but better.

Thanks

I was gonna say you could try the LGR guy for help with this but it looks like its been covered lol as the guy is majorly into old tech like this like crazy, hell you still could look him up and ask him if you need any more equipment, the guy has a habit of finding people who know where all this stuff is.

Edit: Actually as a matter of fact, skip to 2:41

Thanks for the concern and the support. I thought about editing the title, and I’m going to.

Also, many thanks to all those who made contributions toward my synthesizer’s repair. I will forever be amazed by your kindness.
