Both are museum pieces at this stage, and should be preserved as such, so they're available to engineers to stand on the shoulders of giants. I for one could not have an EII in the studio, it would interfere with the composing process too much. That view surprises me but understand it's your own. I...

Er... what?

You been reading case law again...?

I’m of fan of old samplers. Well, to be specific, I’m a fan of the sounds . For me it’s no fun at all trying to get old technology to work reliably and to integrate into the studio. There’s nothing worse than battling with a faulty floppy disc when you have a burning idea for a tune. You won't be w...

Cool as, cheers for the links. Nice to hear the EII Marcato Strings on top too in the OGWT video.

I remember it well, buying them back in the 80's and early 90's and still have about a dozen of them. Did MT used to be Electronics & Music Maker previously? Got three of those from 1984 and 1985 featuring New Order, TFF & Cabaret Voltaire. Got issues 83 to 91 (excluding 90) of MT magazine from 1993...

Dr Who is a good choice, the Peter Howell 1980's version on the CS80 and Arp Odyssey even better I thought.
