OH! I'm very happy for you! Good to put a face (or three) to a name. Thanks for all the work you've done on the forum and good luck to your family. Don't worry about the Pulsar family for a week or two!!

This is hard because the ones I use in songs aren't always the same as the ones I like to muck around on. Putting this together made me realise how rich the choices are. I must use about 25 synths and picking these 10 meant excluding such beauties as Thrust, Freakmod, Neutron Micro, not to mention a...

I love the chopping. Did you really get all the chord pads out of the Hummel Blue Synth? One of them I really like, not just your typically saw wave sound. You've encouraged me to wipe the dust of the old synths.

I've been waiting about 2 years to get demos of these because I thought they were mighty pricey for something you couldn't test before buying. Can't wait to have a go on these - hope they are the business!!

I agree with King of Snake. I only have a 500Mhz PII and I have no problem with the speed of the interface, even when running a medium-sized Cubase project. I love the quality of the interface and much prefer spending time looking at it than most other music software. What's more, PCs are getting mo...

For my ten pence, I really like the interface. It looks good, is uncluttered and doesn't take up too much space on the desktop.

Really nice - I like the bit where it breaks down. Plenty of space. I'd make the outro a bit longer.

I look forward to hearing more. Ken made a very good point earlier about creating deadlines for yourself. Believe me, it's the only way!!!

I have the Control Freak SE with 4 programmes set up - 1 mixer programme and 3 synth programmes. I have three groups of synths (Bass synths, Pad Synths and Lead Synths), each group being set up to be controlled by either the 1st (controllers 17-32), 2nd (33-48)or 3rd (49-64). This works great, but r...

Surely, rather than create a new program, you just create a new keygroup within the same program with the required velocity settings. Then, if you need to adjust envelope or filter settings, make sure you have 'edit all' selected. A have loads of programmes with up to ten velocity settings, all maki...

Any offers considered!!

I have an STS 5000 with my Power Pulsar which I don't need. Any bidders? 200 GBP, 325 Euros or nearest offer.

This can really deliver some punch. The SH101 was my first ever analogue experience, so I may have to buy this....

This synth keeps throwing surprises at me when I play with it, but it is starting to show its age now. I would absolutely luuuurrrvvvveee to see a new version of this that was slightly smoother sounding. Any takers?

It is neither great nor terrible, just OK. I imagine you can built it and improve upon it in the Mod2 so it isn't worth the money if you have that. I've been able to get some nice lines out of it, but I nearly always defer to the Mod2 or the Pro One (which is top notch) for that sort of line now.

A simple synth but oh so effective. You can get some great arp sounds by putting the cut off near zero and the resonance near 10 and filter velocity sensitivity at max. This gives a lovely atonal variation to passages. By adjusting the waveforms and the distortion you can go from breathy to biting. ...

This is a really unique sounding instrument - the sound is really deep! Definitely one of my favourites as it can cut it in just about any mix

I use The Ultimate Piano Collection Akai CD Rom. This has 64MB samples of Steinway and Faziola (I'd never heard of this one but it's a lovely piano), multisampled and velocity switching (only one switch but still very realistic). They are the best piano samples I've ever used (including the Giga one...
