That's a lovely bundle of limitless 'vibe' for your rack. It also reveals a great body of work dedicated toward the RE format.

Congrats on the anniversary!!!!

Anybody care to comment on the organs? I love the idea of having some of these as REs.

I have Compact, Continental and X-705. The first two are exactly what they purport to be, a faithful recreation of those transistor organs. I love sixties music, so I tend to use them quite a bit. As is customary with JP's devices, there are a huuuuge number of patches too, often named after the song they're based on (with a pun, again a JP trademark). Pick a preset at random and you'll go: oh yeah, it's the sound they used in that song! If you ever need to evoke that era for a game/tv/whatever, whether it's twist, jerk, madison or psych rock, those are the devices you need.

X-705 is more early seventies, when actual synth music began to gain some recognition. I'm pretty sure one could recreate the first three Jean-Michel Jarre albums exclusively with this synth. This was before the Osc->ADSR Filter->Amp paradigm, so the programming is "weird" in the sense that you can't use your usual reflexes ("let's pick a saw and modulate the filter"): instead, you mix pianos with organ flutes and a sax or a Hawaiian guitar, fiddle with a few knobs and the result is a beautiful retro sound that sounds like nothing else. The staples of that era (rotary and phaser) are emulated perfectly, and the organ flutes drawbars allow for a very musical control of harmonics (as in Continental and JPS). Here too, any patch will instantly set the controls to the heart of seventies.

Also, the manuals for these devices are incredible. Best manuals in the industry, bar none. They provide an historical context for the device, and are typeset in the fonts found on typewriters of that time. An incredible work of love, and it shows. You can download the manuals for the respective shop pages, even if you don't own the devices...

Thanks for the sale, I will pickup the rest of these these week. Love you devices.

Hey Jiggery are you working on any new RE's outside of organ and retro synths. I think you cornered the market on Organ sounds in reason.
Reason, Nuendo, Studio One
