gross!

you like synths how I like synths.

I had both side by side for a few years. I still have the ms-20 and never thought I'd part with the monopoly but I just didn't end up using it enough. I loved it for weird rhythms and fm'd textures and chord memory but I always thought the filter resonance made it sound cheap, for lack of a better d...

WAHT HAPPENS NOW

yeah, sure. hope springs eternal... ...and then you wise up :P are you guys honestly expecting Roland to change their tune and actually amaze us for once in the last 20+ years? Do you mean myself and the other people who think it might be kind of cool? Speaking for myself, I have no expectations, I...

Could be cool guys. If it's like the er1 with more features count me in. That's what I'm thinking too. I mean c'mon. Plus, it might be inexpensive too. +1, it seems fun. I don't get all the negativity especially in places like gearslutz, at least fun stuff is even getting made and we have the choic...

Csq-600, Rs-09, Saturn 09 and possibly the csq-100.
I'm pretty sure the 808 too.

That looks really cool. The sounds in that trailer are nice too, though I've never been able to get into the Broadcast's songs.

I demand to know in advance that these threads will be posted or I want a refund. It's dishonest.

I've got a compact, it nails the saucerful/floyd sound but if the VIP is fully functional, $150 is a steal!

There is no tax to be payed when you get something from Japan into the States?

Here in Europe it's a real hunt on taxmoney.

I'm in Australia, but there is an import tax on items over $1000. Mine cost me less than that so no worries.

I've bought two SH2's from Japanese ebay sellers, over the years, and both have been in excellent condition and fully functional. One of them arrived with damage to the Roland hard case, and the seller kindly refunded me $150! I think it's one of the most sturdy and reliable synths I've had the plea...

I don't think it matters - I use any old midi cable for dinsync and they've all worked fine.

-Akai AX-73. Bigger than a minivan but still you get to do all the editing with one dodgy slider and a numpad. I managed to forget, I did have an AX-73 for a short time and it was c**p, it was really frustrating because it just felt like the sound was kind of disconnected from the parameters, or th...

Yeah, I'm in. $20 for a 1/1200 chance? I can afford that gamble. While you´re at it, you can also enter the Yamaha CS80 raffle I´m about to hold on Christmas Eve this year. 20 US$ will get you a ticket, but you will have to organise shipping yourself. If you wish, I can have my neighbour sign the C...
