RE: WHAT ABOUT THE MC 505 GROOVEBOX ????
Franky;
Yeah, that was my first attempt at a website (many years ago
) more of a joke, than anything, but, the MC505 is another groove box (mc303) with more sounds (so what) and a light beam sensor, for (virtual twiddling) BUT, I am one of those analogue purists, in that, you can sample sounds and tweak those FC's w/midi controlers all day, but, you can never duplicate the same (floatiness and unpredictability of say any real analog synth).. I have many a box, Minimoog, EML, UNIVOX, CR78, 909, 606, 101 Voyetra 8, etc.. in my studio, and I must admit, Yes, those MIDI boxes are cheaper, and have MORE for Less, but, when you listen to da real thing in a LIVE performance, (real meaning ANALOG) the FAT everyone is looking for, is MUCH BIGGER and MUCH MORE enjoyable overall.. (sure throw those trim pots on a digital synth and it can sometimes almost get there, but, IMHO not quite)
