Absolutely correct observation about Hinkobsessed wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 9:44 amI agree, but when moderator Hink is supporting this thing called favouritism, you cant really have any fair treatment.revvy wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 5:53 am Staw men all over this thread. If bones and anx are allowed to serially insult others, we should all be allowed. If we are not, then neither should they be.
I would personally prefer it if we all had to be civil. Not the case? Then bring it on, I don't need protection from them.
The least he could do is ban AnX and Bones and resign from moderators and . But hey, its not fair ban your friends right? only those you dont like or have no attatchment is fair to do so

I love all this love going around in this thread. You guys... Bring it in for a group hug.
I will take the Lord's name in vain, whenever I want. Hail Satan! And his little goblins too.

The point isn't that someone knows what a MiniMoog is. I totally agree that its synth nerd (or maybe expanded a bit to music nerd) stuff. The point is that sound is something people know and helped define a certain generation of music. Its the same shit with the 303. I know that many of the people I hung out with at the clubs in the late 80s/early 90s didn't know shit about 303s, 909s, etc. but those are the sounds like defined House music of that generation. They're famous. Lots of people know that sound. All 7.5 billion people on the planet don't need to know about something to make it famous.BONES wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:35 amWhat you need to understand is that our knowledge is very specialised. 99% of the population wouldn't be able to pick a MiniMoog out of a line-up, let alone pick its sound out of a song. And hand on my heart, I was unaware there were any MM sounds that even pretended to fame.rezoneight wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 2:51 amHonestly this is some of the dumbest shit I've read in a long time. They're not famous to him, they're famous. There is a Minimoog sound that most people know and I suspect you know it too and are just getting off by being obtuse in a forum.
While all the above is true it has zero impact on the fact that the MiniMoog sound is famous. I never liked nor wanted the DX-7. The same thing applies there. These instruments defined the sound of a generation of music. They're iconic and famous. In honesty there are very few that are. Just because something is vintage doesn't put it in the same league as the MiniMoog as far as impact on music.BONES wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:35 am I was much happier with the Axxe than I would ever have been with a MiniMoog because I'd tried the MM and didn't like its sound at all. It wouldn't have mattered to me in the slightest who had used it for what. Of course, the fact the Axxe was a lot cheaper used didn't hurt, either.
Yeah except the two examples that keep being quoted here don't seem to really be the OB-Xa but the OB-X. In the case of Tom Sawyer it very well might have been the SEM AND the OB-X. As to Rush themselves, Rush had a few hits here in the US back in the day (Tom Sawyer being one of them).BONES wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:35 am That doesn't mean they know what it is. To use an example from this thread, the Tom Sawyer sound that everyone seems to associate with the OB-Xa is a sound I have never heard in my life because I have never heard any Rush song in my life. Rush never had anything approaching a profile here in Australia so what you might take for granted as a sound everybody knows isn't necessarily a sound everybody knows. I didn't even know that the Jump sound was made with an OB-Xa until this year because it doesn't interest me. I know that one of my favourite bands from the 1980s, Outline, used an OB-Xa on stage and that's where my interest in the synth comes from. You can check Outline out here -
And to put a finer point on it, Oberheim isn't Moog. Sure, Jump might have started with an OB-X and that sound and riff is famous. Same for Tom Sawyer. Again, that doesn't put those instruments in same league as the MiniMoog for impact on music of that time.
At the end of the day something need not be known by you (or me), or 7.5 billion people to be famous.

Damn! So, should I get bx_oberhausen while it's still on sale?Vortifex wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 1:38 pm We've been bamboozled. I bet there isn't even a synth, it's a just a wind-up that went too far.
