MD: Cheap disks in Tokyo

2000-04-13 Thread Rev Simon Rumble


I found the cheapest disks I've yet seen in Tokyo last time I was there.
Victor colour palette 10 packs for Y1500 which works out to USD$14.14 or
AUD$23.58.  USD$1.42 or AUD$2.25 per disk!

I'll find out the name of the store and its address next time I'm in Tokyo
(second week of May) for anyone in Tokyo looking for the cheapest
possible.

 Since then I have searched all over NYC

 no one carries a 5v/800ma AC adaptor.

I use a 4.5V charger with my MT-821 (bought it in Japan, Australia uses
240V).  Works fine.  The difference is that while the 5V one will charge
while the MD is playing, at 4.5V it won't.  It charges when switched off
though.

The reason they have to support 4.5V is that it's easily stepped down to
from 12V as used in cars.  Read the spec sheet of your MD to see if it
supports 4.5V.  They seem to accept more than one voltage.

MD: DJ minidisc players checked out

2000-03-15 Thread Rev Simon Rumble


Well I found a place that has the Denon DJ minidisc player in Akihabara
(Tokyo).  It was, from memory, 60,000 Yen which you can convert to your
local currency at www.currency.co.nz -- for me it puts it around the same
price as an SL1200, which I guess makes some sense.

My first impression is that it's very big.  The pads to select tracks or
loops take up an inordinate (and I think excessive) amount of space,
making the unit about as big as a normal turntable.  I'd like to see one
that's just a little larger than a portable MD player.  COnsidering any DJ
using the thing won't be able to rely on the venue providing it, you'll
need to lug them around everywhere you go.

Otherwise they're pretty damn good.  Quite likedc it.  Pitch and Speed
control wass sensible and easy to use, loopiong worked quite well.  The
price seems a little high, since a portable is so much cheaper and you'd
need two of them.  But if you're dead keen on being a DJ, probably not a
bad option.

 What's special about these DJ units? Can they control a satellite dish, can
 you mix in from other sources with it? I was anticipating on something so I
 could play a song, and insert things in, to kind of have fun a little, and
 my primary want is to record a lot of shows most likely from satellite at
 certain times automatically. Is this player capable of cutting commercials
 from radio like that? What can it do that normal md decks can't?

I think the idea is that you can change the speed and pitch so you can mix
Minidiscs like on an SL1200 turntable.  That's what I'm interested in.
Going to Akihabara this afternoon to check 'em out.

 Now about those DJ MD's...
 
 I wanna know more about them

Well since noone has commented I presume noone has any experience with
them.  I'll check 'em out and report back what I can find out.

Well what's it like?  Is it worth the price?  How hard/easy is it to mix

You can't be on too many lists then or you'd be inundated by irrelevant

The problem is that many mail clients don't give you the option of NOT
replying to the list and honour the reply-to implicitly.

Force people to make a conscious decision to post to the list, not make it
