Hi group,

Just joined and already a post.

I bought a formant recently. It was in a bit of a state cosmeticly,
but I managed to patch it up a bit. I took a pick and placed it in the
photo section under apollo's system.

About the sound: wow! That's some serious filterpower. I have some
material to compare it with and although it's not as smooth as a
minimoog filter, as rough as a MS-20 or as excentric as a syrinx
filter, it does stand out. I managed to get some really interesting
sounds only a few moments after I started toying with it. I'm not to
convinced about the bottom end off the oscillators, but other then
that this is a great system.

So good, I am already looking to expand my system (I found that two
oscillators is really to limited). So if anyone has anything to offer,
I would be glad to hear about it.

Also, my RFM has some knobs, that don't correspond with the rest of
the system (please check the photosection). If someone can hook me up
with 10 knobs that fit my system, that would be great.

Sorry about the long text. ;)
