that are still on my list, but after that, I don't think I'll ever need any more hardware.
haha bro, i dont know how many times ive said that
the sherman is ace mate, i ve had a FB 2 since they came out, i pretty much used it on every track in the last 7 or 8 years.
Herman is the man ! what a dude.
havent got an evolver, but i've got the prophet 8, sounds so much sweeter than the A6, i know its more limited modulation wise, but the interface is really nice and intuitive, and they now do the potentiometer model, wish i'd waited for that to come out.
I know I know,
I've said that many times too,
and the mrs rolls her big blue eyes every time I say this.
but I do mean this. Or otherwise I'll just be selling other synths if I'd get something more.
you get to a point where you feel it's overkill.
you know what I like about people like Herman and Dave Smith ?
The reply to you in person (or otherwise it's an extremely skilled person responding in their name, you never know of course)
If you wanna buy a Sherman, you can just pass by his place and have him give a demonstration for you.
I once drove to Roland Belgium to pick up my JX10 that was in for repair. Some sex-bomb of a secretary was making me wait for ages (while she had nothing to do) and looked at me as if I was from Jupiter when I used the word "synth".
If you get an evolver from ebay and it needs new knobs, you can send Dave a mail and he'll ship new knobs to you for free !
How cool is that ?
I still have to check out the Prophet 8.
And I'm happy I still haven't got an evolver uptill now, so I can have one with the superb new knobs.
But honestly, just getting the H8000 will set me back for sooooo long it's really gonna hurt. So most of that will have to wait. Except for the Sherman perhaps....
