Re: Two new polls and what are they all about

2007-04-10 by josevazcurvo

This was a tough test.

Sure, to have everything on board would be super. But... You can't 
deny that swapping socketed ICs is much simpler. Don't matter what 
your technical expertise level is.

The only thing I couldn't figure out of the easy ROM replacement 
(c'mon, I'm lazy with my hobbies) is: How do I make syx files from 
the sounds I gathered on tape for the last twenty years?

The only solution would be: Load the tapes before the ROM upgrade and 
fill in the blanks on a spreadsheet. And then make it backwards after 
the ROM upgrade. (at almost 240 banks of 64 patches per cassette that 
would take for ever)

Probably the funniest route would be: swap the ROM, drool with the 
new synth for a while and soon we'll have a bigger and better 
organized library in months.

I don't want to promote either choice. Let everyone be heard by 
themselves at the poll.

Thank you,

Jose Curvo
