Attention Echoplex Seekers:


The following list of Oberheim Dealers had Echoplex Digital Pros in stock. Anyone who has been searching for an Echoplex (but does not yet have one on order)would do well to call these stores. I am not suggesting you cancel your order at your local music store and grab one of these. That would get me into trouble with the Dealer who kindly ordered one from us on your behalf. The dealers on this list have had these units in stock for some time, they are NOT recent shipments of Echoplexes!!! I make no guarantees to the availability of any units on this list, or at what prices they are selling at. I will say that quoted prices varied widely. This is to be expected - some stores may not "get" the Echoplex and are blowing it out at or near wholesale. 


<bold>ONE CATCH...

</bold>Please tell them Oberheim sent you. If you buy one of these units, please e-mail me and let me know what store you bought it from and what price you paid. This survey was done without identifying who was calling, so feel free to haggle over the price as usual!! Happy Hunting!!

Floyd et. al.-


We are expecting E-proms soon (I use that word too much...). Due to a

predilection for all things tubular, our temporary tech has left to get his

plate voltage cranked, leaving us with an E-prom blower and e-proms on

order, but no new e-proms or e-prom blowee. BTW, all you enterprising EE's

out there...applications are being accepted!!


Those that have the upgrade got the last of the first batch or had units in

for repair and were given the upgrade as small recompense for waiting

untold days/months for the Big O to get it together. My apologies to

everyone else. ROM was not built in a day...

Aren't you the same continent that thinks it's a good idea to run 220V all

around the house?


I think I'm going to customize a "special" echoplex just for you Michael.

I fear As may be trying to live up to his reputation - and failing....  he

is certainly an oft-quoted influence, and maybe he figured "If I'm that

good, maybe I should be showing it off more."  Alas, it's the simple stuff

he always impressed with...

Ah, a man after my own heart!  :)  (ie bone idle....)

I think his playing sounds like he's more confident now than he used to be.

 I always liked (as I said) the way he sounded as if the light was on him

and he's had a panic attack, sending his timing to pieces (eg Dreaming on

XYZ).  Ditto early Steve Howe.

Greetings!


Well it looks like the current CD project will remain in the hands of Ray

Peck.  He seemed reluctant to turn over the DATs to me and I don't feel

like I'm in a position to demand them back.  He gave me no indication as to

when the project will be completed...only that he needs to either a) find

someone to transfer the DATs to CD-R so he can compile the tracks or b)

wait for Event Electronics to ship their Layla soundcard so he can do the

transfer.


I offered to compile the DATs using ProTools and then dump everything to a

master DAT.  Since I don't have the capability to burn CD-Rs, and given the

fact that Mr. Peck wants to edit the Looper CD, I can't be of any further

help. 


If anyone has the capability to transfer DATs to CD-Rs I suggest you

contact Mr. Peck directly at rpeck@rpeck.com.


Sorry I couldn't get this thing moving again.  


Matt

RE: Fripp and his gear.


When he was on tour with G3, Robert carried a small mountain of

equipment.


He had a four foot tall rack with two of everything in it (so he can run

two looping "architectures" each in stereo).  Further, his "pedal-board"

has developed to become a "pedal-riser."  That is, he sits on a one-foot

tall by about five foot square riser, to which is attached his stool,

all foot-pedals and other stuff of wonder.


The rack and the "riser" are connected via an "umbilical" chord, so that

when set-change time comes it takes three people a few seconds to move

the lot off stage.  Two to pick up the riser, and one to push the rack.


Hardly anything that would fit in a Hyundi... maybe a Land Rover?


My guess is he's doing the shows on the East Coast to help defray the

cost of shipping his stuff to the US in anticipation of some King

Crimson rehearsals in early 1998.   Just a speculation...

Info for Rodger Miller fans.


Rodger's current musical activities are in an entity called "Binary

System"  - in which he plays piano and treated piano accompanied by (my

pal) Larry Dersch on drums.  Kind of like the French man Jacques

Lucier's "Pulsions" from the 70's.


Last year Binary System recorded an album in LA.  It is just been

released, though I can't remember the name of the label...  If you're

interested, e-mail me privately and I can find out for you.


Binary System recently played in Boston w/ The Ex.

Hey Matt,


by now there are probably a reasonable number of people who would like to

participate in a 2nd cd (or maybe more). Maybe you could organize that? It

might be nice to have an ongoing series of cd's coming out.

I saw Fripp open for the G3 tour last summer at Pine Knob in Clarkston, Michigan.


He started playing around 6 p.m. While the show was scheduled to start at 7:30.


There were a handful of people in the pavillion and, at first, I was disappointed at what I was SEEING.  He'd play a few notes, let them loop and then play a few more.  The applause was less than sparse.


Then I decided to close my eyes and just LISTEN.  Wow!  That's where it all came together for me.


As a looper, it's easy for me to get wrapped up in the contents of his rack and all the techno-geek stuff.  But once I concentrated on the music, I saw the light.

p.s.  I left the concert soon after the other acts started.  They just seemed to be anti-climactic after the soundscapes.

When I met Fripp before one of the King Crimson shows a few years back, he

and his tech said that he actually maintained two separate rigs in Europe

and the US. The shipping costs for transporting it all across the ocean were

apparently so great that it was cheaper to buy it all a second time. He had

a heck of a lot of gear for those shows, btw.

Funny you should mention that.  I was actually thinking about getting

another project going.  I need to check on a few things at work first.  I

want to make sure that I have the resources to finish the project *before*

starting it.  And I want to make sure it gets done right....in a timely

fashion.


I've been keeping a list of people who expressed interest/concern in the

pending Looper CD.  If anyone else is interested, please email me and I'll

keep your name on hand.

Noticed a brief and interesting mention of new Oberheim rack processors at

the magazine store, G-100 or somethingŠ


Care to enlighten the list?

This may not be feasible (and notice my tongue firmly in cheek) but how

about emailing the PROM data file for those of us enterprising EE's who

have access to a PROM burner but already have a job?

That's gonna be a Kim thing, I suspect. I (being merely a men's 10 E) do

not have the required knowledge to discuss what is possible, only what is

"coming soon". ;)

I'll refer you to the "review" on our web page at www.oberheim.com. 


Personally, I think the GM1000 processing power and architecture is great, even unique, but the presets are (no offense) the Italian idea of Modern Guitar sounds - heavy on the "Steve Catheter" Toto Tones. I have floated the idea of having some of the more toneful Twang Town guitarists program a Rev. 2 batch of presets, so we'll see if that takes off.


In the meantime, demand that your local Favorite Music Retailer stock one, check it out and let me know what<italic> you</italic> think of it. The GM400 is a single-rack, scaled-down version that does less of the same. 


When I get a spare minute, I will put the total GM series info on the website. It is a very deep machine that begs to be understood. 


Thanks for the interest!!


Tom

All I have is the "Laserlight" edition so I don't have a real favorite. :)
