kinda like the chameleons a bit.

Has anyone considered using a windows 8 tablet as a performance synth? I can imagine if you had a decent sized tablet you would have awesome control over softsynths like the Arturia CS 80V? Only problem is you can't make some like the CS 80 full screen can you?

Yep, all there...

Never heard of anyone damaging a synth by leaving it on. But obviously you're increasing the ware and tare on the components, but that's the same with any electronic device. The oscillators make the tuned tone, the filter removes certain frequencies. The LFO's and the envelopes modulate or change pa...

I just went into a shop to get some ear plugs and they had an MS-20 mini on display. They said they had already delivered their first 50 pre-orders and were expecting more soon, but they were all preordered already.

Not sure about the little phatty, but dave smith instruments has a poly chain mode, but you need a mixer so you can hear all the outputs of the modules at the same time. If the slim phatty works the same way, your going to need a...

I mean, there is much in the way of rompler/vsti that makes piano sounds that sound much like a piano. I'm sure some digital pianos have good keyboards, but their sound is probably comparative to the romplers/vsti out there in likeness to a piano; maybe even worse. A real piano on the other hand, so...

Like comparing apples with oranges. A synth like the esq-1 piano sounds don't really sound like a piano. They are "pianoish". Not saying at all there's anything wrong with them. Just stating the obvious... they don't sound like a piano.

For Australia ppl. Asked at store dj today when the MS -20 would be in. They said release had been pushed back and they wouldn't be getting them in till September now...

Normal envelopes = boring

ESQ-1/SQ 80 envelopes = interesting

The sticky brown stuff probably coated everything and prevented corrosion...
