OK, this is a bit strange but you can call a number here and post voice messages remotely. So, if and when I get to go on another world tour, I can leave messages and update this blog without computer access. Useful...?

Everything Must GO!

Alright, space is tight for me and I hate to see working gear not getting used. So, I thought I'd post a list of some gear that's just sitting around here. All this stuff works (or at least it did last time it was turned on). The prices listed are what I think they're worth or what I would expect to pay at some dirty pawn shop. These prices ARE negotiable. To make you feel like you're getting a real deal (or guilty), I'll also list what I had to pay in ( ).

Alesis ADAT BRC $150 ($1,000)
Oberheim OB-1 (organ module with sliders) $50 ($499)
Ensoniq Mirage (rackmount) with library $50 ($899)
Roland S-760, FULLY loaded with library $150 ($1,100 Aaaarrrgh)
Ensoniq EPS 16+ with library $150 ($1,800)
MOTU MTP AV (pre-USB) $50 ($395)
2 Re 'An 48 point patch bays $30 for both ($90 ea)
YAMAHA MIDI rack with 3 modules (for that must-have David Foster 80's sound) FREE (given to me)
Digitech DHP-55 harmonizer $50 payable to Rich Dixon
Ibanez DMD 2000 digital delay $25 ($500)
SampleCell II PCI card with libraries $50 ($899)
Roland OctaPad $20 (?)
JUST ADDED: E-Mu PROformance Piano module $40 ($300?)

Of course there's a bulk discount.

Make me ANY offer. What I need is a new 88-key controller. So anything I can get to put toward that will be helpful.
