I don't see how you can use aftertouch to effectively modulate the envelope attack. Logically, the envelope attack time has to be fully specified not later than the bottom of the keystroke because that's where the attack phase begins. Aftertouch is an event that technically occurs after that point.

30 years ago I was on the road full time making $250 per week (plus half a hotel room) with:

Rhodes
Hohner D6 Clavinet
Moog Opus 3

20 years ago I was still on the road full time with the same band making $375 per week and half a hotel room with:

Korg SG1
Korg Polysix
Yamaha TX802

The Memorymoog will go "snap" and "pow" soon enough, but not in the context you're looking for...

..... I just can't understand why so many synthesists insist on having Model D's and OB-Xa's when there are products like the Virus and the Prophet '08 out there.... It's because the Model D's and OBXa's go up in value across time, whereas the Virus and Prophet 08 go down in value. It's as simple a...

I remember playing one of these in a music store around 1982 or early '83. It would have been an ideal replacement for a Rhodes. I think there were some sort of data strips used to change the bank of sounds. Blondie used the GS2...

No, you got it entirely backwards. Synth "A" is the VA and synth "B" is the real analog. Let me put it more simply. In retrospect, which would you rather have bought ten years ago....a Jupiter 8 for $2300 or an Acess Virus (the original one) for $1000? Please continue repeating yourself, it's very ...

They're not purely musical instruments. They're just as much finanacial instruments, whether anyone likes it or not. If synth "A" returns x dollars from its employment, and synth "B" would also return the same x dollars from its employment (as a substitute for synth A)....then synth B is the better...

...and in the end it's music that counts, no? Not necessarily. It's the money....and it doesn't weigh in favor of VAs. All of my real analog is worth around 50% more than what I paid for it, whereas any VA bought around the same time would now be worth at least 50% less... So does that mean my synt...

It sounds too continuous (no stepping) and purely going in a downward filter slope. I wouldn't necessarily guess that it's wavetable sweeping...

I’m curious if those of you who are getting excited about the possibility of a new 4 voice have considered what it might cost. Of course this is a WAG but I’d bet I’m not far off: $600x4=$2400 (four voice modules) $500x2=$1000 (estimate on prices for 1 Sequencer and 1 mixer module) $600x1=$600 (est...

...There is also the external input on the Roland RS-505 Paraphonic, but if you had that, you'd have a right and proper stringer already! ...or you would have a Roland SDD-320 Dimension D already. That internal effect on the RS-505 is the same as the original Dimension D, from what people say. Well...

In fact, I fail to see how that would count as a concrete act of criticism in the first place. It's a "putting your money where your mouth is" type of criticism. Otherwise, your actions can be construed as an attempt to scare off other potential buyers so you can aquire that item (the SH-2000) from...

...Is the tragedy that those with talent won't ever be able to afford them, or that whoever ends up with them will just let them sit on a shelf and collect dust? Most definately both IMO, mind you I wouldn't exactly say "tragedy" there are worse things in life than an unused JP8. But still, the fac...
