f**k the naysayers. I say if you know what you're doing, then go for it. Start with what you think you can handle and see what happens.

Definately. I can shake cement walls with the MS2000.

To those who wish the prophet 8 was multi-timbral: For god's sake it's a low priced analog polysynth. If you want a multimbral synth get a VA........or a modular. Better yet, get 2 prophet 8s and MIDI them together, BTW we should be thanking Dave Smith for even having invented MIDI instead of compl...

Please don't release it with those fugly blue pads.

How does it sound?

Which rompler has better sound and/or is better/more versatile overall and why? I'm leaning towards the Proteus 1000 because it has real time knobs, more MBs of sound potential(64 to 42 on the JV) and it's slimmer(1 rackspace to 2 on the JV). I guess it all comes down to which one sounds better.

Thank you

I also need something like this. Could somebody please post a link where I can actually buy one. I've asked this before and all anybody could come up with was a bunch of links to discontinued products. I would think these would be really common.

Patch info only, it's not a ROM(Sample) based synth

Thanks

Does anybody know how the ROM cards work in the 707. Do they actually contain new rom sounds as in samples or are they just data which contains patch information that essentially "programs" the 707?

I would do this rather than sell both. The va synth sounds on the EA1 are a lot better than the sampled waveforms on the EM1. You can hear some EM1 demos here http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_no=EM1

korg 707, first synth i ever bought, worst i ever used http://vintagesynth.com/korg/korg_707.jpg i also thought the roland eg101 was a big hunk of c**p I just got mine in, been using it for 5 minutes, and this thing is AWESOME. Sounds much better than I was expecting and the controls are fun as h**l.

definately

Probably Novation for me, based on my experience with the Bassstation and my new found interest in the DrumStaion. Lots of bang for the buck.

Do you have the owners manual to the Boss GT-6? If so, look in the back where the Midi Implementation charts probably are and you can see what data it transmits over midi. Probably listed as Program Change.
