Desperately seeking Korg Zero4/8 users
Guys, when you bought your Traktor certified mixers, you got a 7" Timecode Vinyl with the pack.
Most people threw these away in favour of the 12" TCV
I WANT THEM !!! I am willing to buy them, swap them for 12" TCV, whatever you want (within reason obviously).
Korg no longer stock them, NI haven’t had them for ages and won’t make new ones … so i have to ask the community.
Does anyone have the 7" TCV that they are willing to part with?
I have never heard of anyone throwing them away :eek:
NI refuse to make them for purchase in the shop but I spoke to the Lead DJ Product Specialist last week and we spoke about the 7" and i told him that NI should definitely produce them for the shop and they would sell out quickly. He agreed, although its not his place to decide of they should make them again.
Ill remind him and NI of it, maybe they will reproduce them again. For reasons I cant explain, i think that there is a good chance they may do it. (maybe).
Did you try posting on the Korg forums… Many people have bought Zero 4/8 mixers for production and Live use and have no use for the timecode. Someone maybe willing to sell one to you.
Please note that each mixer only came with One record, not a pair.
Just out of interest, what timecode are you willing to swap..?
I spoke to them myself a few weeks back (I think i also spoke to you some time ago about it). I thought the zero 4 had 1 vinyl and the 8 had 2 ??? (i’m probably wrong).
I have posted on the Korg forums, but no-one replied …maybe because i’m not a regular poster (it was my first and last post).
As for swapping Timecode vinyl … i’ll get whatever is needed … neons, colours, straight black … I need the 7" far more than the 12" .. so whatever is needed.
Just out of curiosity, the difference is the circumference yeah ? So y would u want it smaller ?
That’s right. 7" (inch) rather than 12", the same size as a 45. I’ve been playing 45’s for about 25 years and have most of my bookings on the basis of the 45 collection. taking 2 12" DVS vinyl’s means i have to take an extra box. I use the DVS system to call up tracks I’ve not taken with me due to either their value or rarity, and I can’t take everything i own due to only allowed to take about 150 of them in a record case onto a plane, (cabin restrictions on weight.)
What do you play if it’s on old, rare 45’s? (I’m guessing reggae/dub?)
If you’re feeling crazy - why not just cut the 7" out of your 12"'s? You’d need to set the lead-in time in Traktor to suit, but i can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work? :eek:
You can spend a pissing fortune on old Northern Soul - for a good period of time one of the most expensive records in the world was a Northern Soul tune (Frank Wilson / Do I Love You, Indeed I Do was around £20,000 IIRC? and some classics like Bobby Reed / The Time is Right for Love is not cheap either)
Why would anyone want 7 in. vinyl?
Do have some rare 7 inch platter version of the tech 1200?
(i feel like im missing something 
)
I don’t play either, I play rare soul including northern, R&B from the 50’s and 60’s, Latin Boogaloo, British beat, dancefloor jazz (think london in the 90’s).
As for cutting them, tried that and they don’t work well. Firstly the track time is all screwed up as I don’t have space to cut 10 mins onto a 45, plus I didn’t have room to add the track selection.
One answer to that would be for someone to rip their 7" into a WAV and I have that carved.
I did answer this one another thread, but flying around the globe with the vinyl has become almost impossible due to luggage restrictions (and they ain’t going in the hold due to their value and rarity). So i have only one box with me … the TCV would have to go in a suitcase (which they did the last trip to Munich) and they get damaged.
BTW … I guess you don’t come from a vinyl background … there was a time when ALL music came on a 7" .. it was the 70’s that brought out the extended 12" mixes … the things I play are from before that time.
You are quite right (although your prices are a little off 
F.W. went for almost £30K last year. I know the owner who sold it on John Manships auction. It was rumoured to be valued at £100K … but never materialised as the museum interested heard there was a second copy.
Most of the stuff I play is well over £1000 and many of them are one-off’s, acetates and the like. I have a boogaloo tune that the original artist didn’t even have and said they were never sold and the entire stock was destroyed in a fire then flooded by the fire department ..i had a copy made for him as a Christmas pressie .. he can now prove to his grandchildren he was a singer.
Just pop over to www.popsike.com and type in northern soul, or R&B to see the crazy & wild prices we have to deal with ..
Oh the wonderful world of vinyl …
i have one
I do love good soul/northern/early funk stuff, but could never cut it with the collector, as I largely do digital … I buy the odd piece, but that’s only if I can’t get a digital copy and it’s not silly money.
Any chance of creating a good quality WAV for me to have cut ? I tried with the 12" (cut down) ..but that didn’t work well. I suppose it would need to be posted on a file host somewhere as it would be over 20Mb (I’m guessing)
Ooh… The timecode signal is actually copyrighted pressing it is not allowed… if it was anyone else but me you were asking im sure they would do it but as I Moderate/Test etc for NI ive gotta be squeeky clean.
ill ask them about the 7" pressings again and maybe just uploading the WAV to the Downloads page.
Hehehehe …it was the NI tech boys that suggested I made my own in the first place …they said it would look cool (if it worked)…
perhaps If i get them to give you permission ?

Sorry for the delay in our reply.
I have now discussed this with an co-worker and we agreed on that it should be possible to turn our 12" into 7" but please be aware of that if something goes wrong, its not our responsibility 
I think its a really good idea btw, its gonna look great and also have this old school vinyl thing over it!
Best regards

Yeah cutting a 12" … thats a bit different to actually pressing the timecode onto 7"..!
I will ask if i can rip a wav of the 7" and get back to you.
If you know of a good way to do it let me know. I havent thought about ripping timecode vinyl before. I know i can do it via Audacity but there are probably better solutions…???
