SIDSTATION - waste of money

2003-05-01 by Col Dee

I got my SidStation about a week ago, and have spent a lot of time 
trying to get an interesting sound out of it.

I can't believe the silly design faults they've made. For instance, 
why not have a bigger screen so that you don't have to confusingly 
navigate through different "pages"? And why not have a few more knobs 
so you don't have to select a parameter before you can alter it?

Simplicity is great, but the design layout of the SidStation is so 
simple that operating it, working with it, is made complicated.

As I said before, I've got an Ensoniq Fizmo, and I honestly can't 
find a sound yet on the SidStation that I couldn't have done a lot 
quicker and better on the Fizmo.

It just seems to be an awkward little box.

Please explain to me that I've got it very wrong.

Col.
