Only in electronic music is there such pretension when it comes to gear. I've read all the complaints. Polyphony! Small Keyboard! Not Analog Enough! Nothing compared to _______ synthesizer! A toy!
Not one negative review talks about what is pure joy in this keyboard. They only hack away at it like stupid comic book fanboys. Enjoy wacking off on your TB-303's, boys.
I brought one of these right away and regret it not.
I can't believe how they can get away with selling a VA like this for under 5 hundred dollars. Excellent effects, excellent filters, excellent bass sounds, nice arpeggiator, and you know what? The keyboard isn't too bad. I play the harmonium which is an indian, accordian like instrument with keys not much bigger. And to top it off, vocoders are back, kiddies, and that's thrown in, to boot. What was that? Formant hold! Sweetness. All for under 400 dollars.
Maybe it's just me, but I've always been more concerned with the end results of my music than bragging about a fetishized hyped up piece of gear just to say I have it. And this baby delivers on all fronts. Makes me wet.
I'd go for the MS2000 for knob tweakery but if it's a matter of money (as it is for most) the sacrifice is not so bad for the 300 dollar difference. These is hard times. But theres something about this being battery powered and it's size that is just so hello kitty cute!
So thats that. XOXO
