It's probably the best new synth on the market.

content: I see he mentioned the jellybean parts Dave always talks aboutI couldn't stop thinking how that nice organ was full of salvageable parts if you where to find one that was completely beyond repair.Of course you wouldn't want to salvage parts if it was fixable, those look like great instruments.Quote from: pickle9000 on February 08, 2014, 03:59:18 am

content: Actually, Dave Smith is the guy who made the synth, not the guy on the video but it would be funny if he WAS named Dave too.Dave Smith is a legendary guy and pretty much is responsible for how the MIDI standard ended up.Quote from: deth502 on February 09, 2014, 06:46:20 pm

content: OOOoooh! That's some interesting stuff.The TR-707 and TX81Z would be nice to have.I now everyone loves analog stuff at the moment and the Juno6 would be amazing to own but a JP-8080 would be more interesting to me.Quote from: gslug on February 10, 2014, 10:42:29 pm
