Don't ever get it.
I paid the fee for it, and had no problems with my computer hardware. I had to get the charger replaced. It was on my doorstep the following morning.
But I have had software problems.
I bought apple care under the salespitch "If you are deep in the middle of a project and you need to figure out how to do _____ an apple care tech will help you"
Problem number 1.
iMovie has bugs that I experienced.
Apple care techs Response: "Well, it is limited".
No Fix.
Problem number 2
My niece created an itunes account (I never got one) and now everytime I open it up it prompts me for a password
Apple Care techs response: "Hmmmmm I've never heard of that before"
Solution: I had to figure out myself how to deauthorize this computer.
Problem 3 (the most interesting one)
Audio from a youtube video (a doctor giving a lecture about the health benefits of a bidet) plays at random, and is triggered by something that is internet related.
Apple Care techs response "We don't know what's happening, send it in and we will reformat it"
"But what if I backup whatever file it is that we can't find that triggers this crazy toilet sales pitch?"
"I have no idea"
All solutions unresolved by apple retards.
Result:
I paid 400 dollars for a charger
DONT EVER BUY APPLE CARE.....THEY AREN'T EVEN AVAILABLE 24-7.
Oh and about iMovie... don't use it. it is a worthless program now that is near unusable at the best of times.. which is sad because the first gen of it tenish years ago was actually a cool easy to use program that could make some nice looking edits.
My current 'puter is the first one I have ever bothered with applecare with and I only got it because I didn't trust apple now that Jobs is gone.. actually I figured this would be my last apple because I had/have a feeling they'd mess everything up in favor of little toys and their apps... which is what it looks they are doing..
Yeah that was another big reason for the timing when I bought the 'Pro... The last time Jobs left Apple, the product quality went with him. And this time it isn't coming back.Mudfuzz wrote:My current 'puter is the first one I have ever bothered with applecare with and I only got it because I didn't trust apple now that Jobs is gone.. actually I figured this would be my last apple because I had/have a feeling they'd mess everything up in favor of little toys and their apps... which is what it looks they are doing..
Nope, it isn't. Really not looking forward to my next computer change in a few years...MC wrote:Yeah that was another big reason for the timing when I bought the 'Pro...

Are you going to buy or build your case? Following the instructions in the DIY section of the synthesizers.com page is super easy. I built my case in about four hours using hand tools, and it was a more complex build than a normal case.muksys wrote: Of course I don't have a case or power supply yet.
I'd thought about it, but I decided that I'm going all out on the modular. I've got enough DIY stuff. I ordered the Studio22 walnut case. Eventually, it will turn into a Studio66Voltor07 wrote:Are you going to buy or build your case? Following the instructions in the DIY section of the synthesizers.com page is super easy.

Lucky bastard! Thats on the "bucket list".hooshirn wrote:
It do arrive today, anchor's away
muksys, that is amazing! As soon as you get a chance, please post some sounds from it! I'd love to hear what it sounds like.muksys wrote:Oh, and I FINALLY finished this today!
Spent the afternoon tuning the VCO's (painintheass). Holy crap this thing is HUGE! For a DIY synth, it packs a serious punch! It totally rivals with any vintage analog synth. The filter is 2-Pole SVF, which, I absolutely love, but it really could use some 4-pole ladder love. Another awesome reason for the modular!
Understandable. Eventually, it will turn into a studio 88, 110, 132, 176, 220...muksys wrote:

Very nice. Also have a ProCo RAT2 that you can't see in the photo. If you are into warm bassy distorted drones, the Big Muff π Bass is a very cost effective pedal. The ProCo RAT nails that bitting overdrive/distortion + I get 3 different types of overdrive from my SP, the MF-102 and MF-108.stiiiiiiive wrote:...and how does it do with that Big Muff Pi bass?...
