well for an anlog buff like you it'll be VA, doesnt really zipper tho (my SN1 doesnt anyways on which it's based) - a great little unit i'd have thought for adding pads, layers, fx, leads etc to your 777, but it's mono timbrel isn't it.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

positives: compact, great sound, ultra-intuitive much like the Nord Leads. fx enhance its versatility.

negatives: depending on your needs, may be too simple a synth (once or twice I found myself looking for a modulation option that wasn't there). monotimbral, if that bothers you. if it does, wait for the KS4 (4-in-one).

there is a new korg comming.. basicly an ms4000 that runs on batteries and comes with a mike! small and multitimbral i think... which is a big problem for me with the k station, something that can play 8 notes at a time... whats the point really.. i rarely play chords i would rather have the synth multimbral... so no to k station.. at least wait till the new korg is out and the darkstar xp just came out with 4 quarter inch outs this time.. so.. yeah.. hold on. You can check the sonicstate.com for more info on the korg... there was an audio demo i think.

get a damn nova desktop...you wont regret it. it has 6 parts, not one. its 1000 new, about 300 more bucks than the KS, and you get six times the synth.

uQ eats novations. Big Q even more so. Absynth is dope. So is FM7, but if you're staying in the hardware realm, Novation tends to be kinda weak. I'd say get a Pro-One and sample the shit out of it. Millions of options. Novation just isn't a very impressive one. If you really like their sound, sure...go for it. If you have tried out the others and still like it, then it's for you. I know the difference and they are not for me, but I'm not everybody. Research, and knowledge are your best tools in making the decision, and that means listening and letting your ears decide, with all of the advice being just advice and not gospel.

I think about buying bunch f old synths.. doesnt matter midi or nomidi at all.. Just sample the fuck out of them to the pc... with Kontakt there isnt an need for outboard sampler (well when they get the automation on kontakt right) for me at least.. instead of getting a super sytnh with bunch of hidden menus could get a juno60 old ensoniqs.. sh 101... i dont know so many choices. may different sources to get sounds from.. and sample them to th pc and do even more sound editing and fx.

for $303 you can buy the equivalent of a pro-one (w/multi mode filter + full midi/cv) in kits from emf.

fuck, i'll never get that much for my dbx and dx100.

for 303 $.. isnt it ironic, dont you think ?

Of to check their website.. I am looking at a emax on ebay.. it has less than 10 hours to go and at 71$ not bad... i am looking for cheap sh 101s and
Ensoniq esq 1 digital wavefroms thru analog filters and envelopes and it has 3 oscilators! pretty good for a sytnh from 1986

"Similar to the Mirage synth/sampler, the ESQ-1 was Ensoniq's highly affordable and impressive digital synthesizer. Although the waveforms are digital in nature, the filters and envelopes are all analog as on the Mirage. In fact for a digital synth the ESQ-1 has many good old analog-synth features such as a ring modulator, sequencer, and oscillator-sync. The envelopes and LFOs are can be freely routed to each DCO, VCA and or VCF. There are 40 preset sounds which are the usual not-so-great sounds. Luckily the LCD display screen is large enough to make editing the sounds somewhat pleasant.

What really sets the ESQ-1 apart from other similar synths is the voice architecture. Choose from analog, digital, or samples or any combo since there are three independent oscillators per voice! Once you start editing on the ESQ-1 you will come up with interesting and unique results. Using dynamic voice allocation it can seemlesly switch from 8-voices of analog to 8-voices of digital or sampled voices! This gives you a wide array of different sonic elements at your fingertips! "

yummy...
I wanna get something that i cant get on the pc and something that not many people use... I really want an esq1... only thing is.. i dont know if i can control it from PC (sx) ( filter sweep, etc)... I wonder if it excpets midi controller data or just notes.... Need to do a little bit of searching...
What you guys think?
