Interfaces gonna be subjective, but, for example, I couldn't get along with the oscillator waveform selection being in the mixer. Could make sense (like you said - what you want to change grouped together), just always weird to me.BONES wrote: Tue Nov 12, 2019 11:27 pmInterestingly, the Odyssey's layout was designed so that it would be much easier to patch on stage, so instead of grouping everything as it relates to the signal path, they tried to put things close to each other that you are likely to want to change at the same time. I'm not sure they achieved their aim, I still find it mighty confusing.JoeCat wrote: Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:57 amThe Odyssey was a bit more complicated by the small switches and (IMHO) a slightly more convoluted layout, but you could get used to it.
Yeah - bad enough we had the DX7 marimba in the verses; no one wanted to hear it in the chorusBONES wrote: Tue Nov 12, 2019 11:27 pmYeah and I'll bet your music was all the better for it.JoeCat wrote: Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:57 amBut in the 80s, playing with a DX7 (LMAO at THAT without patch memory!), Matrix 6, Casio CZ etc. - no way. We used vastly different patches often within the same track.
