Re: Worst Keyboards

Re: Worst Keyboards

2007-12-01 by MAinPsych@aol.com

Hi, all.
 
If you haven't done so already, don't forget to send your votes in for Worst Keyboard.  I'll post the results after 5 PM Pacific time.
 
Regarding the Best Keyboards list, I'll post the list compiled based on everyone's feedback so far after posting the Worst list., then cast your vote or write in your own fav.  Regarding Mellotrons, I propose this:
     1. For the sake of clarity, let's just include Mellotrons as an instrument in and of itself regardless of model for the actual vote, but ALSO specify which model is your fav, and I will break down the category according to model indicated (i.e., my vote = Mellotron, M400 or Mellotron MkVI).  Final result will be reflected as in the following example:
          1. Mellotron          18
             a. M400       8
             b. MkII       6
             c. MkVI       4
          2. MiniMoog           15
          3. Figgis Oganichord  1/2
 
Regarding # of votes, what does everyone think of the idea of submitting your top 3?  ("Jeez, only one vote? What do I choose, the Melodica or that Kimball one-finger organ that my grandmother used to have?")
 
Someone may say, "But you're not including Moog as a category in and of itself".  Well, Mellotrons, as we all know and love (or hate), all share principle, same tape source, and general characteristics as tape replay instruments regardless of model, whereas Moog instruments do not (yeah, I know: synthesis, etc., etc., blah, blah, yada, yada.... But could you really compare a Rogue to a System 55?  I thought not.
 
Feedback welcome, even from Dickson!
 
Cheers,
Frank Samagaio

Should we also limit votes on the Best list to what we've actually used/had practical experience with, or just leave it open to whatever someone's dream is?

I'm with Matthias. How can you meaningfully rate something if you haven't played it yourself, good or bad? Just because Clay tells me that if he had to be limited to only one keyboard in the whole wide world it would HAVE to be a Solina String Synth, does that mean I have to vote for it, too? (I have heard reliable rumors from a source in the Green Party that he feels this way.)

I have heard that Orchestrons and Mellotrons are pieces of shit and should be collected and burnt on fields. But my machines sound fine to my ears so I'll just have to wait ....and wait....and wait until enlightenment strikes...

I can say this reliably, citing numerous studies, that you will not receive enlightenment until you give them all to me. Once free of the burden of ownership, you should receive enlightenment within 36 hours (42 hours south of the equator). I guarantee it!

I have a CS-60 but I use it very rarely. The swedish progband Brighteye Brison really enjoyed it though and used it quite a lot on their second album...

It didn't end up going to auction, perhaps someone "made them an offer they couldn't refuse."  Same thing seems to have happened with Phil C.'s ARP 2500 on eBay recently.

7. Moog - Polymoog
8. Casio CZ1000
9. Hohner Pianet
10. ARP Axxe (for falling apart)

The GX-1 was what Keith Emerson used in the famous footage in Canada outside during a light snow.
It was polyphonic to the best of my recollection, yes.
