Dadrian Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) "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!

vicegirl85 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Sorry for the frustration this is causing you! Your covers are fantastic and it's definitely going to be worth it to hang in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crockettt Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Dadrian don't worry, I'll wait as long as it takes. Your covers are great and even Jan couldn't tell the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Capacitors and chips are identical to the originals, so it will be like new but better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) 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.
