[elektron] Re: SIDSTATION - waste of money

2003-05-02 by valladoliddiego

Hi!

I'm still in the "amazement" phase. I don't know what I will think 
once I've sampled the life out of it. I love the Korg Poly-800 too, 
wich has even less sounds... Am I sick?

Still, it's great to know that Elektron hyped it so much that I could 
sell it for tons of money in the future... ;)

Adieu!

caracteristique sound wich is unique! But doesn't mean it is super 
musical and have a BIG "pallette" of sounds.(I think that's why it 
bores me the most). The very first time I worked with it I was 
amazed, really.But soon enough I realised that it's not for me to 
stick with it and to create new sounds. If you have heard all the 
sounddesigner patches, than you will here what I am talking about. 
They are good, but very often it sounds the same with a little 
difference ;o))

But I think it is also a overHYPEd box, and that it's also too 
expensive. They now even put some extra CASH on it because they are 
selling the last 100 units, SHAME SHAME....(900 EURO ????)
