Re: [elektron] Sidstation!!! roels!

2003-08-20 by TonyBlack - 100% Acid [JohnnyBusca]

Forget all the b#llsh#t about the MD and MM... Go for the SID!

I quote myself:
"This is a wicked piece of equipment. The last time I've seen a machine
that surprised me like this one, was the Roland TB-303. Immediately after
hearing a sound from the SIDStation you will get a nice feeling of being
young. You even forget the noise levels on the outputs and the little delay
on the notes is taken for granted. Modern sequencers and a gate limiter can
bypass these flaws. Make sure you touch a SIDStation at least once in your
life. It's a remarkable machine!"

I use the SIDstation between 100% pure analogue power!

BTW: I hope Elektron will never promise an OS update, because synths should
be cool without the features of promised future OS updates.

Best regards,
JohnnyBusca
