Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 06 2003, 14:28 Well, today I bought the Roland SH-2000 (the synthesizer Mike used for Blue Peter, Incantations, Platinum etc.). I couldn't get the famous flute sound out of it yet. Have to play with the settings and presets first. I will get back to this. (I also bought an Eminent 310 Unique: the famous one Jarre used). -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 06 2003, 19:15 Yeah, I know Korgscrew. But I saw Tim Cross on a video with the Roland SH-2000 playing the flute sound live!

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 12 2003, 14:11 Darn!!! The SH-2000 I bought has some errors!! I visited the other guy who also had an SH-2000 and this one sounded the exact same way as Mike's. So I now have two Roland Sh-2000's at home.   Don't what I'm going to do. I'll try to get my money back, or maybe repair, or just keep it for spare parts. I is for.... *cough*...

You made me curious, Richard. As I, as well as Blue Dolphin, thought that sound was a preset, what did Mike do with it afterwards? :-) -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 14 2003, 04:27 Ugo, I already knew that Mike did that stuff with the sound. And yes, it sounded quite different. But my new one sounds the exact same way as Mike's! Jael--> that's an old word. I call it KLOTE. I did try it out before I bought it, I didn't realise it sounded so different, also because I never played the synth before. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 27 2003, 11:31 Now I'm totally pissed! I was playing on my second SH-2000 today, and suddenly I heard some electric noise and now my second SH-2000 sounds excately like my first one, with noises and totally different and uncorrect sounds.   So now I've got two defect Roland SH-2000's. Maybe both of them have old oscillators, or maybe the contacts contain a lot of dust. Guess I have to take it to a repairman. I've opened one of the synthesizer to look into the electronics, but I don't have any technical knowledge I quickly closed the synth. By the way, the jacks I used made a lot of noise when I connected them to my synth and into my organ (my organ has an input jack, so I can amplify the sound on the organ speakers). I did, however, record the synthesizer last week, with the famous flute sound. I will post that soon here. For now, I have to find somebody to repair this. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
