hehe. sorry. had to do it

well..to be totally honest I found it boring. These were the presets of course

as far as sound goes..it was very smooth and bubbly (I guess thats the idea...keepin with the mini vibe)

I didnt get very far into programming it. Its in Qs studio so I just messed around a bit.

IMO the price isnt worth it. you could get way more flexibility for way less. maybe not true analog, but oh well...

check out the waldorf pulse before you buy because it's a lot cheaper.

faultline uses the se-1 on "closer colder" it's his only synth I think. you can hear it in overrated action there.

Havent played the Omega. You must have some CASH layin around!

you know...you can score an older SE1 for about $800 if you look around. Same sound I believe. The X has a few more features, but...

dunno. I think SE stuff is way overpriced due to competition and lack of funding

doesn't the se-1 require cartriges though for the filter? So add to the price for more versatility. I though it did a good 303, and the arp and oberheim filters sound good too. It is an analog and has that character. As for an omega. gesh, those things are mucho dosh. If that is in your range, take a look at sunsynth and the alesis andromeda! The andromeda has monster midi implimentation and that classic quality to it's sound (moog/oberheim expander)Marrs music usualy has one on display.

I think the omega is the one that has the filter cartriges. I could probably find an omega 2 voice for 2k. Ya, if I could find an andromeda for that I would consider that.

right the atc-1. I played with one a long time ago. It was used at GC. I liked the sound, but for a mono synth. The price is out of control. I agree, if you can find an expander for under $1500, and I know a few places that can track one down, go for it. If you need any help finding vinatage gear go to "analog mudular systems".

I got my mks-80 for $800 there. Very profesional and they have everything or can get it quick.

I'll second the Expander line, or a real Mini. Might even think about some MOTM units for that price. Nice link. Good porn!!!!

Well, I got it a few months ago and it just sat there... I didnt give the poor thing a chance. I'm getting similar programming out of the Z1 (massive modulation capabilities). not anolog but, hey. I didnt like the bass-line type sounds I was getting out of the X. not to fast of an attack. Like I said though, I didnt spend to much time with it.

As for the atc-1 I heard the filter steps real bad, Is this the case with the se-1 and omega series?

seriously mate, a pulse could be right up your street, like knowa said. Not the nicest thing in the world to program (not bad either, just not nice .....much nicer than the Z1 anyways), but its a thick, chunky sounding piece of equipment.

180-230 squids s/h.

i guess they go for a lot of money lately.. plus you'd need the midi>cv.. deal with tuning it..

..but the knobs are the better part of an inch across. the modulation section is flexible and easy to use, allowing you to route any of three sources to any of five destinations and route a second group via the mod wheel.

and it sounds good.. wide ranges and smooth action because of the large knob radius. the sawtooth on mine sounds grittier than an ms-20 i used, but ? i've only met one of each.

i was actually contemplating a synth with a huge panel of 6" dial/knobs earlier today. that's really good with me.
