This is getting off topic, but I'm typing this from a 27 inch Apple Cinema Display which has 2560x1440 resolution.
It's totally fine for normal use, I don't know where you get the 1920 max number for 27 inch display..

Tbh i tried a 18.5" display with 1368x768 resolution before i bought this one, and the fonts were extra large... so i thought with a 22" with 1920x1080 resolution it would be quite ok, but turned out to be a little small. Guess it's better in any case to test it before you buy it, so you can see for yourself. But yeah, i guess nowadays the companies rather give you a big resolution, even on small displays, so they can label it "HD ready".

Sorry for OT, but ADD is a big myth.

Actually, I think the same, too. I thought I made that clear in my post.

ADD is just a figment of some people's imagination. To sell pills, probably, but I'm not going to get deeper into it...

You can hardly read the text on a TB-303 from that distance as well. One of my TB-303's is painted completely metallic blue, there is no text to read on it. But that's cool, once you know how to use a 303. But I guess you may have found the reason why Stevie Wonder - who has played music on just about every classic synth - hasn't published any songs with a TB-303.

Btw, programming / playing a TB-303 is best done standing up anyway, imho, much like playing an electric guitar drenched in distortion.

I used to program 303 lying on the bed.

Eating pizza.

Mac optimises fonts and has bigger icons than Windows?

I was talking PC/Windows only. Mac does have bigger icons and fonts and is more comfortable to use at bigger resolutions even on a smaller display. Windows is a piece of crap as an OS and everybody should know that, but we're stuck... I'm stuck with it. Just too many programs I use, some from 2000 and older. On OS-X you can't use stuff from 2001 and older.

I really have to test the VB 303 on the weekend if I have enough time... It's interesting because I've never programmed a hardware TB 303, and if I succeed in getting great sounds out of the VB 303, I think I would succeed in programming the real TB 303, too, wouldn't I?

Well, indirectly, you can, using some Windows emulation layer or virtual machine.

Yes, I know. I was referring to "native" stuff. I can do everything from Linux these days, which I'd prefer, but it's not native, and I hate wasting CPU cycles on nothing.

I'm talking about the annoying midi play "feature".
