Yes, I know about that too. I would really like a Prophet 08 but for now I've had to settle for a Volca Keys.

The wait for a Synthi A is 2 years as estimated by Robin Wood. At some point they are going to start looking a little different. Don't know about the wait on VCS3 but I'll let you know when he sends me a bill or when you hear about my wife killing me.. I do know they not running short on any Putney parts. BTW they are opening up queues for New DK2, Random Voltage, 8 octave filter bank and Frequency Phase Shifter. NOS I think. gino On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 10:29 PM, <fdoddy@aol.com> wrote: > >Sheesh!

You can’t. The sound generators are too clean, too stable and too close to the ideal, the modifiers are too clean, too stable and too close to the ideal, and the controllers are, umm, too clean, too stable and too close to the ideal. The thing is, the VCS3 really is a ghastly piece of engineering and it achieves what it does precisely because its signal paths are so dirty, it’s so unstable and it’s so unpredictable. By removing this essential un-ness, you change the nature of the beast." > >Mark > > > > >________________________________ > From: tron400 <tron400@yahoo.com> >To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Tuesday, 17 September 2013 11:05 AM >Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Re: Legendary Instruments > > > > >I think VI means virtual instrument. > >Bernie > >--- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, Mark Pring <markpringnz@...> wrote: >> >> What is a VI model ?
