Used to be there was Wash 'n' Ware, but that subject is clothesed. I'm partial to footware 'cause it's got such sole.

Sounds interesting. I guess, Sheila isn't freeware, though?

Who let them out? Oh, hold on -- Who ought to be over in the Nothing thread too... my mistake.

Christ on a bike! The man has got to be 80, hasn't he? And if ULTRAVOX's Quartet is anything to go by, he's been well past it for 20-odd years. I'm sure he is just being a grumpy old man, which is his right.

i don't know if it has allready come,

but my darling is:

'I can not get this feeling and inspiration with software'

lets see: who can afford a real rhodes mk1

so its possibly another way to say: I have no talent

Hey, that pretty much my only problem with the K-station (that and it like to disconnect is keyboard sometimes without being told to) is there any way to find out were a knob is set? its quite hard to edit a patch if I don't know where the ADSR is fo example. I guess its just trial and error?

There is a little block on the RHS of the display that changes to show how far away a control is from the current value. You just move the control until the block is full [solid green], that is the value for the current patch and you can edit from there. Completely useless for live tweaking, though, unless you only need to tweak that paramtere once in a gig [you can set it before you start].

Computers are full of viruses and spyware. And they can never sound warm and analogue as (insert some digital-as-f**k VA synth here).

Not freeware, and requires a dongle.

funny... got into it with this one guy about the software/hardware thing once. the point i was trying to make was that, while albeit analog is analog and digital has yet to completely capture that sound, a digital synth -- hardware or not -- it nothing more than a computer running a program, and that that program could be replicated eventually on a PC because it is no more than lines of code and numbers being crunched making a certain sound. which is true when you look at the v-station, the TDM/PoCo virus, FM7, etc.

the asshole actually tried to tell me that DIGITAL hardware synths sound better because they use special microprocessors that "sound better" than a standard x86 or PowerPC processor. i believe he also tried to tell me at some point that TDM plugins also sounded far better than their native counterparts. it was pretty ridiculous.

whats the stupidest 'anti software' argument u've heard?
