Subject: Eventide DSP4000 in 2026
Message-ID: <CA++9XrqxCiycUQit9KWHwRwZiHgGag1=4vaOng=UeuND0B4jDQ@mail.gmail.com>

I?ve a synth that?s been for sale for a while, and the only nibble so far
has been an offer to trade for a DSP4000. I?m intrigued, but have some
concerns about irreplaceable parts, common failures, etc. I know there are
a few heads, here. Are there obvious things I should look at or ask about?
Do these have a ?test mode? similar to that found on the old Elektrons?
Man, that was handy?

Yours,
Niall.

I have no experience with this unit, but it looks like fun.
What synth are you trading it in with?

I gather that, if I?m not using VSig, it?s likely just going to seem like
an lesser-powered Eclipse, maybe? At least those were made in the last
twenty years.

This person?s floating it as a potential trade for a modded CS-15.

Yours,
Niall.

I?m having so much fun with the VP4?. And I barely know what I?m doing. I need to RTFM. Looking forward on finding out how I can modulate that thing.

Thanks for pointing me in this direction.

Don?t bother? Come right to the source: I wrote that manual! 
Despite any time zone differences I?m sure we can arrange an online meetup/screen share.

Isn't Tom working in either North or South Carolina these days? Or was 
it Georgia? Anyway, east coast.

Yes, In Augusta Georgia, well at least for a couple more months. Looking forward to heading back to EU mid next year.
But I think I will skip Belgium for a while. Don?t want to go back there. Spain looks promising, but I fear if I stay with my current employer that it will be Germany? I hope they don?t send me to Hamburg.  

@Matt, I found most answers in the manual, might reach out later if required. Where can I get a EU (mainland) adapter? (Kind of annoying that this is not included, btw)

If it?s not a soldered lead, you can get the appropriate cable cheaper than
an adapter, most likely.

Yours,
Niall.
