I know of a hack or "exploit" with the CZ-101's patch editor which causes the 
machine to crash - it then starts making sounds that suggest intergalactic war 
has broken out... I've never used them on a track or anything, though; it's a 
secret noise! :)

and if you make your own tracks, it would make it so so simple to
work into a set if the cdj1000s were the new indistry standard
alongside the tech 1200. pressing and shipping dubplates (which
have a very finite number of plays inherent in them) is mad
expensive and with a decently long period of time involved in
sending it out and receiving it. with CDR you could really burn
stuff 1/2 hour before your gig. i like the CDJ1000's technology
quite a bit. id really like to see every club i play in supply 2
1200s and 2 cdj1000s.

i use mostly old stuff on the studio stuff im working on. i have a
40 year old hammond organ and a 30 year old arp oddyssey in
addition to a bunch of vintage 80s biz. i think old yamaha FM
synthesis (and i dont mean the fs1r or fm7) will be making a come
back.

Well, it seems to me that this music was started using obsolete music tools
(old drum machines and bass synths) that nobody wanted anymore - not the
latest and greatest.

If they can drop the price on these suckers a bit more - under a grand
please, we're DJs not millionaires fer chrissakes - then I might buy one
because I've got CDs I'd love to work into my mixes.

What I've been wondering, and this is related to my first statement above,
is how have *new* (let's say in the last 5 years) instrument/DJ
technologies have been used in ways that they we're meant to.

take the 303 which was just supposed to be a bassline synth but some people
found really cool sounds with it that, although programmed into the
machine, was a result of using it in a manner that it wasn't really thought
of when it was designed and marketed.

I see all these new products made specifically for DJs and the
electronic/dance producer but has anyone unintentionally stumbled upon some
hidden function lately with these things?
One of my favorite stories of this is Ken Ishii - he took one of his
keyboards and turned it off and on repeatedly until it kind of went kzzzgk
- and then it made weirder noises which he then used to make the Jellytones
LP.

Seems like there are so many DJ oriented tools out now that it's starting
to suck out the creativity of *most* DJs since it's all supplied for you
(but then again maybe they never were creative in the first place).
I still prefer to flange with two records instead of my Pioneer efx unit -
to me it sounds better, and of course, bigger.

Just a thought/discussion for the day

It's odd how some involved in futuristic music are so zealously keen
on entrenched standards.

Not trollin', just sayin.
