Agreed.

The Little Boy Blue has a preamp (also good for simple waveshaping), two saw oscillators, an intermodulating three-input mixer, and a bipolar envelope follower.

The Jealous Heart (Pepto Bismal pink one) has a saw LFO, multi-mode filter, preamp, and two noise sources. It's basically a dumbed-down Serge Creature if you're familiar.

So very primitive (VCA's are for cowards apparently) and intended for noisy feedback patching, but indeed a blast to mess around with. They work decently for processing guitar too.

That all sounds pretty awesome!

am i doing this right?

gotta get me one of those double deck stands. k2000 is massif

Cool, an MS-2000!

I will forever miss mine, unless I get another one.

Oh wow, I wanted an MS2000 so bad back in the day but it was waaay out of my price range at the time. Does it still hold up?

What's not to love about DWGS waveforms (DW-8000, microKORG) and tons of knobs to tweak?

I think it holds up! Sounds great and the sequencer is awesome. The filter can sound a little boring sometimes but its not like i hate it. The DWGS can do some cool stuff, the "digi" waveforms I lik especially, you can get some really nasty bright metallic sounds. The one bad part about it is the 4 note polyphony cause it can do some great pads, luckily i cant play the keyboard so most of the time it doesnt affect me.

I think it does what it's supposed to Its like an old analog emulated digitally, no fuss. Sometimes I wish it had more routing but it lets you be creative synthesizing sounds. If you want the most powerful VA for the money you shouldn't get it, there are way "better" ones in the price range like the Alesis iON, yamaha an1x, roland jp8000, some novation probably. But if you want just a nice sounding synth with vocoder its definitely woth the 4-500 bucks even more so if you are nostalgic about it.

Also get the rackmount version, there is absolutely no reason to go with the keyboard version unless you are like me and had never owned another keyboard. Or if you really want the wood sidings for your prog band

I needed a case so I built a case. I needed metal brackets so I made them in a machine shop. I needed a power supply so I designed one from scratch and had it made in china. now I have a power supply business I guess. but I also have this cool case made from up cycled oak pallets and PVC decking material.

The reverb pan is a nice touch.

Oh damn! Very cool case - integrated reverb is next level.

the reverb is the reason I absolutely needed to invent a new power distribution system. it needed to be small and it needed to have really good noise floor. I did it. tested it last night good for 1A per 12V rail per bus board. let me know if you are interested. I have plenty.

In theory I am interested but in practice making/buying a new case is a long term ambition. Thanks though!
