Nope .. I just feel that I need to get something more serious
than this (not being negative )... like a sampler ... + that I have had problems
fitting in it\ufffds special sound into my kind of music .. so I figured
better let someone who really want\ufffds one buy it instead .

I really hate when the filters distort .. and that there is no volume
setting for the three dco\ufffds ...

Hi,

>Interesting you say that, it's not exactly a workhorse synth ...

Yes exactly

>I'd like to get something a bit more standard soon too, like a nord micro..


Hmm thought about them too .. tho I was interested in the keyboard version
of the big brother to micro .. but I realise now that a sampler is going to be the
best thing for my limited home studio ..

>it's very temperamental .. sometimes i swap sounds and go "yikes! - this
>sound bad!"...

Yup.. Know what you mean .. However I have made some really freaky
ringmodulation sounds .. really cool , goes very well to ambient techno stuff .

I have tried some filtering stuff on it , sending a drum loop
thru it\ufffds filters really rocks =) .. 

>The distortion *can* be nasty yes, and is uncontrollable..


Hmm .. so it can\ufffdt be changed at all then ?
