keeping my new (to me) source even though the LP looks great

[jgeebus]

I just picked up a great example of a source...but the LP does look mighty nice. in a perfect world i'd have the funds for both, but i dont. for a 600 dollar price diff looks like my mind is pretty well made up. i'm keeping the source!

pros of source:
source has noise gen!
source has sample and hold
source has arppegiatior
source has sequencer
source can de tune one osc for real 'phat'
paid 600 less than a new LP


pros of LP
LP has midi (although can i use a kenton midi/cv with the source?)
LP has audio input - drums tracks through the moog filter!!!
source is 20+ years old.

please feel free to add pros of either synth. thanks!!!

VCO 2 freq control

More pros of LP:

LFO has sawtooth and ramp waves
Mod section has more sources and destinations
On/Off switch for Glide
Filter Envelope can go negative
Full Keyboard Tracking on the Filter
100 programs
The ability to name programs
CV Inputs for Osc, Filt and Amp

Pro of Source:

Can modulate osc and filt at the same time

One neat thing the Source has is the "Program Sequencer".
This enabled you to have a different program for each note or selected notes of a sequence. I wanted Dave Smith to implement this on Evolver but the sequences are saved with each program. On the Source the sequencer is global.

You can get full filter tracking on the source and if you do the encore midi retrofit you get 256 program locations. Not standard I know, but the option is there.

[Guest]

Sorry, I meant to say the source has full filter tracking (not you can get) as well as 1/2 or off

[DW]

I meant to say fully adjustable KB tracking on the filter. Not just Off, 1/2 and Full

Also, the LP has real switches not membrane. Plus you get LED indications of the parameters.
