i just got an order confirmation from Jered for my R2 order and i thought about asking him the same thing

Nice!!

I'm gearing up for a live PA myself. I just ordered a 2nd Revolution R2. I decided to leave my precious 303 at home. Hopefully the purists won't give me too much s**t lol.

i always wanted my parents to get me the full size synsonics drum set from the sears catalog: http://www.wishbookweb.com/1985_SearsWishbook/images/SearsWishbook.1985EC.P595.jpg $800! That was serious cash back then. I'd like to get my hands on the synth module now... http://www.keyboardmuseum.com/pi...

i had the arpeggiator one (the Cyclone) and it was junk. crashed all the time and was damn near impossible to program.

what do you mean by "split patches" on your prophet-600? do you mean split the keyboard?

i didnt know that the QX-3 is a linear recorder... no looping or patterns or anything like that.

i'm very surprised such a powerful sequencer had such a major shortcoming.

of course, Yamaha made up for it with the RM-1x, killer sequencer on that box.

yeah looks like a QX-3

i didn't think anyone sequenced on those anymore. interesting.

i'm seeing the ebay prices on QX-3's go up already.

Pretty interesting stuff. I'm using FLStudio with a MOTU Midi Express XT. Its not bad, but FLStudio can't put out a consistent MIDI clock for s**t. Any time I sync external delays to the computer's midi clock, they go apeshit constantly recalculating the delay from the slightly shifting BPM. I think...

same here.

my first casio was a Pt-80, then a MT-100, then a MT-205. I also had synsonics drums. The poly-800 was my first "real" synth.

I've never thought of VA's as "alive" either but the Creamware Prodyssey comes mighty close. Its a wild beast and can sometimes be a bit unpredictable. Its a great VA imo.

Watching these shows had me doubled over in laughter. Its been a LONG time since I laughed so much!

Anyone spot the gear in the music episode? Looks like a CR-78 and VCS3 .... ?

Awesome interview. Gabriel really "gets" hardware sequencers and why people choose to sequence in hardware instead of fussing with a mouse and tedious software DAW's. griffin - my annoyance was at all the flash. once i figured out it was an "electronic magazine" and how to zoom and pan it wasn't so ...

Ugggh, what an annoying site. Looking forward to reading the interview, though.

I want a Genoqs Octopus so very badly I have more GAS over that instrument right now than any other.

The synth makes an appearance about 2:30 into the show, but, trust me, you'll want to enjoy the entire episode.
