But I’m at work 
My UPS guy knows me so he leaves packages with me at work so they don’t sit on my doorstep all day.
Quite the enticing brown box!
…only seven hours to go 
Now I’m going to come and get you for the Wasp and the LP. 
I had to say goodbye to the Wasp…and most of my other synths too.
For details: http://synthwire.blogspot.com/
OK…had a look at the LP on my lunchbreak. Just beautiful! The silver finished areas are nicer than in the photos. I can hardly wait!
Hmmm…that’s crazy talk.
Carbon,
I thought you were going to wait for the “performer” editions in order for the early production bugs to get worked out? What changed your mind? The Phatty is great obviously (even though mine had a boot up bug, which is now fixed–should get mine back on Wednesday!)–just curious.
I was calling a store to order some software and they said: “You still want a Little Phatty? We have one left in stock…we can ship it today…”. I scraped my jaw off the floor and said “Ummm, yeah. OK.” 
I feel like a great weight has been lifed off of my chest…probably the CS-60
The bottom line for me is I tend to be more productive with just a handfull of synths. Also, having less clutter in the studio helps a lot.
I think softsynths are finally coming into their own! Some of the ones I’m working with now are nothing short of breathtaking in their flexibility of timbre and programming possibilities!
They also take up less room
Its not like I’ve gotten rid of all my hardware synths…I’ve even just added one as this thread attests!
Perfect!
Now you’ll just have virtual clutter.
Reaktor can do some amazing things, but it has a steep learning curve if you want to make your own synths, etc. I’ll stick with knobs, though thank you… there is no sex appeal in software.
Congrats on the new LP.
I think there’s room for both hard and soft synths. There’s no way I’d ever get rid of my LP or PEK but I’m really loving Reaktor and Absynth. For that matter, my Waldorf Q rack and MicrowaveXT (which is my favorite synth) are mostly “soft”
I’ve been playing the LP all night and already have about ten of my own patches programmed. Maybe its just nostalgia for that “Moog” sound (my first synth was a Rogue) but I’m totally in love with it!!!
That’s cool Carbon… you still have alot of hardware anyway. What didn’t you like about the Voyager?
Looks great Carbon. What number is your phatty, and where are you located, so I can add it to the ‘database’ here/ Or, you can post a reply in there.
She looks nice… I am waiting for mine still…
Its not that I particularly disliked anything about the Voyager, its just that it was quite a bit more than a Performance Monosynth and quite a bit less than a full Modular Synth.
I already have an excellent Modular Synth in my Serge, what I wanted was a fast-programming, Moog-sounding Performance Monosynth.
The Phatty was just a better fit for me
Its great. 
It really is nice! Hang in there, yours will be there before you know it!
Mine is number 358. I live in Washington near Seattle. (United States)
Zebra sounds a little too much like Absynth to my ears.
I don’t plan on any new softsynths for a year or two as I’ve got plenty to work with and learn now. I just spent considerable effort slimming down the studio and even too many softsynths is still a form of “clutter”
And on topic - The LP has already started earning its keep with excellent lead lines! I love the overload distortion, I’m getting sounds identical to the old Rogue and Prodigy leads I used to make, plus these can be stored!

Nice 
So, Stephen, are you gonna get one of your own? You said this one was on loan.
I hope so.
