your thoughts?
I like some of the soundexamples (http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/listen.htm), this baby is capable of some weird and trashy stuff, check out those specs and the singal flow chart, dist and feedback everywhere, yeeah !
also I like the man's reasoning (he developed Sequential Cicuits and Seer Systems synths !!):
I'm finding that I'm tired of computer-based products, and I much prefer working on real hardware. Caveat - of course software and computers are the future, I'm not arguing that. There's just something more fun as a designer to be working again on dedicated hardware that I can touch and hold. (...) And considering the fact that software, especially music software, is regularly and easily ripped off, a hardware product becomes the ultimate dongle.
Then again, I'm already making a software emulation for Reaktor :D , shouldn't be that difficult but WILL end up sounding completely different, I just might go for the real thing...
EDIT: Doh... I definitely should check previous posts before starting one myself :$ :)
