If you dig deep (and you will do some digging, Dirk) she will reward you, but if you keep digging you will die in a useless hell. Buy the PG10, and the manual, use a noise gate and don't spend more than a few hours a week programming it (unless you REALLY think there must be more).

Bottom line: it stays in my rack but I refuse to buy her dinner.

you can make some great sounds with this thing. Cheap too! You

can get one for $100(US) if you look hard enough.

Acoustic=Crap

Analog=very good

Whacky Wierd Stuff=wonderful

like best are the resonant filters (though not self-oscillating), ring

modulator, the built-in effects (delay & hall), and the fact that it's CHEAP!

Goes for around $175 in the US. Cons are that the filter works only on the

"synth" waveforms, is not modulatable except by velocity, and the ROM samples

aren't that great. On overall, it sounds pretty good though (nice bottom end),

so it's very good for bread-and-butter synth-ish stuff, seq sounds, and even

some nice leads due to ring mod. The limitations in modulation can be overcome

due to the VERY good and fast sysex implementation. I've got one and consider

buying a second.

of "Virtual-Analog" but is not really virtual... snif snif...

It has low-pass filter and cool resonance, up to 4 ocilators but you can't

control the filters at real-time...

you can see some info on my home-page
