If that Ion is really in 'New' condition, I think that would be a good buy. straight from the Craigslist add: "Full disclosure: the underside of one key is broken (see picture below), and the "OSC octave" buttons stay permanently lit - though both the key and the buttons work exactly as they should...

I've come to the somewhat depressing conclusion that there is a very close correlation between bigness of sound and cost. Hahahaha, great signature! I'll quote you on that :) The MKS-70 is an interesting tip, thnx. I'll dive into that. In the meantime I am bidding on 2 matrix-1000's to create one s...

Ooh I totally didn't catch that it was an Ion instead of Micron, yeah that is a good deal. Either Ion or Alpha Juno could be flipped too for more than you spent if you decide against it.

There are a couple people selling these lately. I wonder what's with the sudden market for 'em.

People finding them in the basement?

Not for that price!

I'm reluctant to sell my vintage gear, athough (like nadafarms said), you can usually find most with eBay these days. The MachineDrum is a great machine, but I have no regrets selling it late 2009 because I know I can get another one easliy. Feel free to sell anything that is still in production. I...

The alpha juno 1 for $150 seems like a great deal, especially since it includes a case. Also, the 106 could probably be talked down to at least $350. They're not that great in my opinion.

I'm a drum and bass and dubstep producer that is looking for a good synth that can make good sounding basslines while learning the basics of synthesis. I want to keep my budget between $300-400 US. I want to buy used, preferably off of ebay or craigslist; and here's what I've found: (In order of wh...

Wow! You wouldn't guess by the front looks.

There may be something else involved: do we really need certain softsynths? I usually get the impression that every developer with half an eye for DSP jumps the bandwagon and keeps reinventing the wheel, you know, like washing powder: "but this time it's really really really white!", "and this time...

Expensive compared to what? How many man hours do you think goes into developing the software? What would be a reasonable price to you for each app? Just pricey in general, and like I said I don't think they shouldn't get paid, I just don't understand why something that has been out for years and u...
