Analogue-sequencer

If the Octopus is anything like the Nemo I'm surprised by the statement
"that works fine". :)

I found the Nemo nothing more than a hugely frustrating, albeit very pretty,
box of tricks that I could trip up almost without trying. Luckily ebay saved
me from an expensive paper weight.

The Z-word was (is?) a fine looking machine and the footprint you have is
now discontinued. May be worth a pop on ebay even if it isn't working.

Some sad fucker was asking 9K for a Monome 256K recently on ebay. Needless
to say it didn't sell, but it is indicative of the stupid prices the
rare/vintage synth market seems to be trying to convince itself are viable.
15K BIN for a minimoog is another recent classic, which actually sold for
2.5K after 3 months and multiple relistings. 

And don't get me started on Jupiter 8's lol. :D
