The Logic Off Topic list

I just went against the prevailing mood for all things modelled or software
based and bought a Studio Electronics SE-1X (the Minimoog in a rack) and
it's amazing.  The sound really is a league apart from the digitally
modelled subtractive synth.  The filter for a start is really dangerous -
proper resonance that feedsback on itself.   On the downside it did cost
£1400 and takes up 3 rack units - and its monophonic, so its kind of a
luxury.  But it does make the richest, fattest sounds (and some of the
weirdest going) and is probably going to end up on every track I do from now
on.  And its more like to keep its value than a plug-in destined for
obsolescence in a couple of upgrades time.  I love it!

If you've never used or owned an analogue synth they're worth checking out -
they're less stable and less predictable and noisy and unreliable and
cumbersome and magical....

P.S.  I still love my Nord Lead 2 - it sounds great;  different but great.
