200e

Hi Don,

thanks a LOT for remembering me and giving an instant feedback!

When listening to Yasis demo at NAMM this year (via web of corse...) 
and Johan Bobergs short demos (thanks Johan), I was finally convinced 
that the SOUND of a Buchla could be MY sound...

I know there is no certain SOUND but there is a CHARACTER!

I NEVER liked the DX 7 as I prefer nasty, organic and growling sounds 
which are thick (whatever that means)...and all the examples of the 
Buchla 200e I first listened to were these "marimba" alike sounds which 
are simply not my taste...

I am really glad to hear that YOU are excited about the Buchla and 
would appreciate feedbacks as you are moving on exploring the 
instrument!

Btw: Visual demos are by far more helpful than just mp3s. IMHO 
manufacturers should generally post more and longer videos than bible 
long manuals...

Frank
