How wonderful it must be to be so much better than everyone else and have such a high quality of taste. If I need a final judge as to what is and isn't music, I now know where to go. Thank you for the amazing depth of your opinion. I enjoy *many* diverse and varied types of music

What’s really funny is that I bitched about this “stupid” design for years on my 2600 and odyssey and used a y-cable to split the gate and use it as a trigger. It wasn’t until using it constantly for some time that I suddenly made the connection with why it was that way. James Fr
