Kid Nepro patches - thoughts?
John Pallister
Hello list, The venerable Kid Nepro is still selling his (her?) Xpander/Matrix 12 patches via eBay[1] - 100 patches for (as little as) $20, that's just 20? per patch. Has anyone tried these patches? Are they worth the money? I imagine pulling them apart and seeing how they work could be educational. Obviously the patches you make yourself are the best ones... Cheers, John :^P |
?Walt Whitney is also selling cheap patches on cassette and he was a great programmer back in the 80s. I've got some Chroma patches of his that are pretty good.? ?My only experience with Kid Nepro is that I bought a bunch of patches for a Yamaha TG33 many years ago. I was going through them the other day and they are not too exciting and seem to tread similar ground throughout the patches but maybe that's what you get from a TG33. ?Here's his EBay ad and yes he does misspell Xpander: ?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Synth-Patches-Sounds-On-Cassette-tape-For-Old-Analogs-/280468299837?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item414d36a03d From: "John Pallister john@...

If you have not already tried them, check out the patches located on this site. I was quite impressed with the quality. Some made my M12 sound like a totaly different synth!!

Thanks for the feedback guys (and Tony)! Paul, Walt would do better to record his tapes and sell them as downloadable audio files - I don't think I have anything that plays cassette tapes any more... Karl, I'll definitely have to go through the patches on this site too. Cheers, John :^P On 16 July 2015 at 04:43, Karl Schmeer shire03@... [xpantastic] <xpantastic@...> wrote:

Sorry, I ment in this forum's file collection. Ya have to go to this groups home page and click on the file menu. There are at least 5 or 6 sets of patches in zip files. If you have trouble getting to them, I have copies here I can send you. Best Karl -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 7/16/15, PeWe ha-pewe@... [xpantastic] <xpantastic@...> wrote:
