(Although those prices... man... how hard would it be to recreate that bit of slightly naff 80s tech. I want one, though. Inevitably).

The light bar on the Wii does nothing other than provide two constant points of IR. The Wiimote does the sensing.

For me, the novelty of vintage has worn off. Too much headache until I learn how to do my own repairs. I'll take a warranty... thank you very much. And for that matter, I'll take digital, analog, hardware, software, MIDI, and or CV. "A place for everything. And everything in its place." I...

Mine's silent, and I have dog-ears. I sold my Wavestation partly because the inverter whine made me want to kill things.

I turned down some funky illuminated USB leads for much the same reason; they have EL wire in with tiny inverters.

has anyone ever noticed that there are a lot of people who just worship moog synthesizers, or vintage synthesizers in general. but all they own is new stuff. they have a nord lead and a micro korg and they just won't shut up about moog. Old kit has a halo effect. Bands we loved used the gear and we...

I wasn't offended by the toy statement. I just think WOW thats a really bold statement because I know how freaking hard that instrument is to play and I think about the skill level that it takes for someone to really get good on one. It takes a really good skill level to make good music on a Stylop...

Uh, whut? Digital artefacts to the sound? It's a sequencer. It tells it to switch a note on or off. You could make a device that does it on a handful of PICs or possibly a Propellor chip with appropriate I/O. What do these beasts do that this sort of solution does? Not "why don't you use Cubase...

Generalmusic have lost me for good after the Equinox. I don't care if they'd knocked out an Andromeda 6 with graded hammer keyboard and 48 voice poly for a grand. I won't touch anything they've produced. Keystation doesn't help either. If I wanted a dedicated controller then it would be the KX8 or C...

I have a 351. I think it makes a fairly big difference to the Voyager. I view the Theremin more as a toy thing, which is why I haven't got one yet.

Out of the two? I'd have the 351.

But you'll want the CP-251 to go with it really soon after...

The Nord Stage is hybrid-weighted, and the sound engine - on paper at least - leaves me cold. But a lot of the points you make I've addressed above anyway; I don't like the OASYS because it's off-the-shelf hardware tech that is massively outdated and hasn't been upgraded at all in 5 years - the HD i...

I don't see the point of these massively expensive step sequencers (as a new product - of course I understand the collector bit); what can they do compared to Numerology2 running on a Mac? Computer rigs don't even need to take up that much space; I've got a little PC thing called a "FlipStart&q...

Well, the other thing is, I don't want or have space for a modular. I just spent ages getting rid of things I don't use properly; really trimming the fat - until we move to a bigger house, there's no room for the sort of modular system I'd want. And if I were going to buy another synth - then I'd bu...

Dude that picture I posted is like 5100 bucks. THat plus 3400 is probably what youd pay for an oaysis. But for that matter you could have a few sequencers several filters, that would be quite superior in function to the Voyager. The exchange rate puts that 5100 at £4000+ now, I think. And I can buy...

If you want to buy an 88 key oaysis but you don't need the workstation...then why buy the oaysis? If buy the Fantom G8 and spend the remainding cash on a dotcom system? http://synthesizers.com/studio44s.jpg Well, partly because the OASYS looked - until I learned that it uses NO DSP hardware, just p...

Traffic here really isn't that high. You don't need to 'bump' your posts to get attention IME, just wait for people to offer answers
