Re: Yamaha Reface
Why does the countdown keep changing? Earlier today it was at 2 hours and something and now it's back up to 19 hours.
Re: Yamaha Reface
Personally, I can't wait for this to come out so I can complain about the mini keys or the lack of memory.
Or maybe the presence of memory. We'll just have to wait and see what I hate about this thing.

It took several weeks for DEVINE to understand it?
I know what this is... this is Yamaha getting mad that people are starting to understand analog synthesis again, so they need to drop a DX7 paradigm on us so we'll go back to just choosing presets.
IT'S 1983 AGAIN!!!

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.
