Gearslut hang-around and long-time synth collector here. Is it just me, or does this story make Yamaha silently seem like the coolest big-co ever!?

- S_A_P 11y agoAlso a KVR/gearslut hanger-outer. As a side note I've recently gotten into collecting vintage samplers. I just picked up a Roland S-550 for a hundred bucks. These things are just MSX pcs with a fancy case. I have been chatting up a guy who has done some cool stuff bringing these things back in date. http://llamamusic.com http://llamamusic.com great guy and very great stuff he is doing. These samplers used to cost 2-3000 in the late 80s and it's a shame to let them rot.
- jakobloekke 11y agoI used to drool over those adverts of the Roland S-line samplers with computer monitors and mouse attached, back in the early nineties. They looked so futuristic and magical to me! :) I haven't got any of them in my current collection – but I do have an Akai S5000 (which is almost vintage) and an Emu Emax (which definitely is!).
