Re: [elektron] Re: SIDSTATION - waste of money

2003-05-02 by simon leclerc

If you can't find a place for that incredible digital bass
you can get from the SidStation, then it's a good
think your sold it, let others use it.

I don't even own a SidSation, but a friend
of mine does. And although it has a very specific
limited range of sounds , those sounds IMO are
absolutly amazing and you can only find them
in this bizarre synth.

Cheers,

Simon

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!

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 ????)
