eh, makes total sense.  I'm thinking Roland's CEOs are just handing off coloring books and sketchpads to their children, nieces and nephews for ideas.  That has to be it....really.....

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

Apart from looking a bit like a stormtrooper (which also is sort of cool) I kind of like the idea... No hate from me on that one...

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

I think it's ugly. I'm not a big fan of paint jobs in most cases, except if it concerns equipment that's already ugly from itself custom jobs should be about airbrushed unicorns and palmtrees or something.

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

white surfaces are a definite No for eyes that can barely adjust to sunlight.  for some reason white synths just seems to whisper "heavenly trance" in appearance. maybe one from the studio of a heavy smoker would look better.

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

I don't know if someone mentioned it already, but one thing that I'd really hate about having a MicroKorg is having those totally stupid genre names on the program knob:

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

I guess it's Sound Effects and sounds like Orchestra Hits or other one-shots...
But would be funny if it was meant to be something like Top40 stuff big_smile

Sadly, the new MicroKorg XL (which looks very nice otherwise) still has the same kind of labelling...

the funniest thing about this old fm synth is that the gigantic wheel is just a huge volume knob on a normal-sized pot, it does absolutely nothing else http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/ys200.php
