Overseas shipping is way too high.

USA / Mexico / Canada only for this unit.

275 USD.

Goes to ebay Sunday.

What kind or power supply on the ASB?

and whats that crud on your piano keys

it looks like the B4000 has three pedals

It's my boys little note markers.

And it's Yankee powered.

The Doepfer FBox is sold. I guess they are hard to come by in Caracas.

The 3 pedals are separate. They use SpaceF's CC8 to control the vibrato and rotary cabinet speeds.

But what will you play with till the xite arrives??

I have a production band that is being dissambled, but once again for a nice price.

Some smart ass kid w/ Cubase SX3 and some chops for programming is going to take over the FOH chores and re record the vocals so the girls can dance around more and do the Brittany fake jive thing better.

The ASB's and Klang's were actually back ups in case of a Scope crash, which BTW has never happened, Cubase SX3 using VSTi's and audio tracks should be O.K.

So next month when they work here all of hardware will be returned, and the 3 x Scope Pro's and the DAW will be mine again to sell after Memorial weekend in May.

Since I am doing a consulting job and taking film classes it's a perfect time for the transformation with my personal rig.

The next time I perform live it will be in 5.1 w/ Solaris hardware synth and XITE-1 ,w/ several wireless ear monitors. Hopefully by the 4th of July in Lake Tahoe, where I plan to spend the rest of my days with my son.

I figure on looking over Lake Tahoe while I program and perform from now on.

I grow weary of Las Vegas, but I made some serious bank down here. The time for the ultimate lifestyle and rig draws nearer by the day.

Doh. i am sorely tempted to get that 4000 by the time i buy the plugin it would cost almost as much. are they reliable? i know there will never be any more service for it.

they appear to be reliable.
also, they're still made. only the klangboxes were discontinued so far, afaik...

Do you have the 'paid for' Scope 4.5? I got the B4000 plugin as part of that (based on a Pulsar 1 plugin entitlement)...

as the B2003........

errr...yeh that that's the same as the B4000 in sound though right?

Actually it's sound is dirtier from the analog I/O's but it's upside is that it is a hotter signal.

When controlling the drawbars w/ the B2003 there are artifacts and the volumes are full of jumps. They were noticable enough for me to get the Klangbox, and sadly the same imperfections were there as well. So I got the ASB and the drawbars work perfectly like the Hammonds.

I am not playing w/o one of these, as I have 2 ASB's and a Klang.

I am keeping one to use w/ the rotary as it is a great emulation when using the analog I/O's and the rotary.

I will have more gear next month when the group gets back from Connecticutt.

I would advise anyone who really wants the proper sound to get a rotary cabinet though, as even the ASB's Leslie emu suffers from the woofer being virtually over mic'd, if that makes any sense. Besides the doppler effect created from a real horn cannot be emulated, even though CW's attempts were very noble.

The best thing about these hardware units is that those will continue using their cards can save lots of DSP's by using the Klangboxes and ASB's.

Both are built very well, nothing cheap about the sound either.

Hey Jimmy - how much would postage to the UK be for the Klangbox? I live near York.

What audio interface does it have? (I've run out of analogue inputs on my scope pro).

Are there any known issues with it? (I know there are some with the ASB version - cant think what they are off the top of my head).

Thanks bro

i am not sure, i bought some cards and some people think they have 4.5 registered because there is a Spectral balance key there.

anyways there is no harm in downloading it and checking to see if it works!

Refochia,....My Brotha.

Send me your address via pm and I shall send you a qoute.

I have sold and sent a few units to England w/o any troubles, and the prices were fair as long as you claim it's an electronic something or other, and the package doesn't have a fuse hangin' off of it.

I believe I will be recieving a package form Scotland this week if the seller still has it available.

BTW it is analog I/O that I used on it when I demo'd it. The analog I/O's on all of CW's hardware products gives them a slighty bigger, and dirtier sound that the all ion the box routine.

If you have SBC key, then it is the paid 4.5 - whether you get B2003 will depend on the card (as each card level was entitled to different bundles/plugs)...check with Ralf

As Usual It's Been A Pleasure.

Klangbox is up for sale again due to ridiculous shipping rates overseas.
