Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

hahahaha you wish,

The only waldorf product I owned was a 4-pole filter thing, so many functions, so little knobs.

I never really like the Waldorf sound but I always wondered how much my opinion was influenced by these awful designs.

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

Likewise if you have an XT I'm actually in the market for one! So many boring grey products out there i think that super bright orange is amazing looking. Iconic even.

Yes it is very subjective.

@Rude- Yes i notice you mention about the functions, maybe the revolution is good to use but i just think that square casing and round interface is hideous. Now if they had of not put it in a square and used nice knobs it could be a thing of beauty. Also maybe 3a is useful but it still looks ugly to me..comparing it to say a jp8 layout which is when roland got desgin right.

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

wasubot: how about an XTk?
:-)

I also like the orange colour. it's obnoxious enough to be cool, and really not that ugly in person, IMO.

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

haha oh yeh XTK is hot but unfortunately I have the same issue as you regarding space so I'm only getting rack stuff at the moment. As it is im considering selling my p600 to get a mw1+ controller as i dont have room in Melbourne for it, that is my first choice but XT rack would keep me busy meanwhile. How much for xtk btw?

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

Actually the SH-3a is the only synth I have wich is worth looking at. For me its a beauty.

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

it's one of the few machines ever i regret selling..

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

not 100% sure how much it's worth. is AU$1000 unreasonable?

but yeah - if you're selling a p600 because of space, it's probably not what you want anyway. (though it's smaller than a p600...)

Crap paint job but I like the Idea of a circular sequencer..

+++ Dont be scared honey, thats just the resonance knob +++

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

no-fi yes a good price and I'm sad I just can't fit it at my place. I have won a blofeld today so that will have to do for wavetable. Would have loved a MW1 but oh well.

Hate the sounds, but the pimped out Tron look does catch the eye momentarily...

Re: The Ugly Gear Topic

Well, I'm only judging it from what I heard on the demo. Besides, the 'playa' hype on their website seems to mentally picture that bloke from The Offspring's 'Pretty Fly For A White Guy' video...

They really are hitting a target market on this one.
I sold a MC-808 on craigslist and this big dude shows up to buy it. He repeatedly asked where the "boom boom bass" and "kanye bass" were at. In between ever little beat he played, he made mention in several different ways  about "all them bitches" that would be "all up on his dick" when he took it home. His friend then tried to sell us shitty weed.  I saw later that he reposted it on CL probably after it was too hard to use maybe. In his ad he wrote that it "came from a professional studio".

Maybe he sold it to buy a beat thang. It sure matches the rims on his friends car.

The DK80 might have been ugly, but it had some killer strings!
To program it was something of a nightmare though, and the build was shoddy too.
