... in SOS. I tend to put more stock in them than I do any other mag outside of TapeOp. Its a glowing review. Anyone here had any experience with it? I'm not in the market now but when it comes on the used market I might consider it as a replacement for one of my lesser synths.

Back then I didn't know any better. All I knew was it was tre' cool looking. I ended up with a DX7. That was a mistake. I can't believe it took Yamaha almost 20 years to sort FM's UI out.

Nope- I went to 2 different guitar centers and stopped by the synth section (as I always do no matter what I'm getting at the place heh heh) and they each had one- I really wanted to hear how it sounded, but both places said that it was ed up- I asked how it sounded and they said it sounded great- when it worked...but prolly just some stupid 16 year old kid goin in there and fuking with the cables or something...
It looks fab in person

I saw one in a brief visit to GC recently, had a pretty vanilla patch goin on it. And for the life of me, I couldn't find a way to change sounds. I'm no synth newbie, so if I can't change the fuckin preset within, like, 10 seconds, it's already a big minus in my book for interface alone.
Well if I hadn't had someone with me, and hadn't gotten the willies from sales guys (they really make me wretch, physically), I woulda figgered it out innit

Personally if I go to my synth shop I expect a free cuppacoffee, a decent set of monitors/headphones and a fag and a chat....If I don't even get that: I'm out.
I need at least 4 hours alone with a machine before I buy it-> my mc303 did not spend as much time under my personal scrutiny before I bougth it.
Apart from the MachineDrum which I bought after 15 minutes...never regretted it one bit.
Anyway, I heard a lot of good stuff about the IO. They actually put some effort in making it sound *good* and unique instead of creating yet another virus/kstation hype machine. ;)
