Re: [motm] Re: Update (DX7 on a chip)

2005-02-13 by Jeff Laity

The point I was trying to make, and one I think that everyone agrees 
on, is that new modules should not simply duplicate easily-available 
technology. There's not really a point of DX-7 in a module, since 
they're easy to find, but there might be something to modular FM 
– though modular additive sounds more interesting to me. Or non-modular 
even, if Synthtech ever strayed from the MOTM modular and moved into a 
traditional synth or module.
