And a headphone jack, which is one of the minor annoyances of the Desktop.

Not if it's just an announcement that they'll be (or even just might be) developing something in the future. I was under the impression that the P'08 has been very well received in general, so it's not too great a stretch to imagine they could raise the issue of a rackmount version. But then, we'll ...

I just noticed REAPER is $50 to buy. Only reason I record to the pc instead of a multitrack is becuase till now its been free... I would rather take that money at put it toward a stand along machine.... hmmmmm Reaper is unlimited shareware. You can use it without paying, you just have to wait six s...

...Luckily I sold it for a good price and bought 20 Microkorgs. I linked them all together on a wall about the same size as the Arp, but now I have polyphony galore... pics or it didn't happen :wink: Considering the ARP 2500 didn't use patchcords... I once had an Arp 2500, and I hated it. It was re...

Yes, somewhat cold and brittle. I prefer synths that sound a little rounder.

I have all my synths hooked up to the patchbay in front of me on my desk rack, and from there I patch them into whatever. For recording they go into my 8-channel Soundscape SSIO8-3 interface.

Yeah, the X7000 is sort of like a giant, heavy toy. That's what's great about it though - it's just so simple to muck around on and sounds fantastic in that unique early Akai way. Load up a string sample and it sounds like you're playing an army of 78's.

Also, an EQ will introduce phasing artifacts and other distortions to the sound. Especially if you're using a cheap one.

don't know about the filter.. but I do know that Electr-Harmonix designed the "instant-replay" part of it! ;) Well... sort of. David Cockerell was working at Electro-Harmonix when he designed the S-612, and the technology was then sold to Akai. Or something along those lines, I can't quite remember...

Don't forget the non-realtime compressor either. Great fun to be had squeezing the s**t out of drum loops with it, instant breakbeat action for those so inclined.

...beg pardon?

Doesn't matter if you're an atheist or not, it's one h**l of a great excuse to spend unwisely. I was planning on getting a TC Electronic Powercore Firewire, but ended up building a new 3D animation rig instead. Cursed priorities... Good thing you waited, because the X8 Firewire version just dropped...

Of course, because a Roland SP will have no problem creating a polyphonic loop-point modulated pad sound with S&H bandpass filter.
