Thanks, you've saved the thread with a new subject - now we really can reach page 30...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you (takes a bow)

Page 30 is only possible with more hardware vs software vs software comparison bashing tests

However interesting theory with Bob Moog. If he grew up in our times with technology available today, I have no doubt he would be involved in some kind of Software development. In fact I think every historic inventor from the past would be thrilled about todays available technology and writing some kind of software. What would Da Vinci do?

Bob probably had bills to pay:

"Arturia has done it again. The Minimoog V's sound quality captures the magic of the original classic Minimoog. We at Moog Music are happy to lend our name to this fine product."- Dr. Robert Moog

Well at the time that was a pretty good emulation considering the state of hardware and software

not perfect but good enough to get your moogy groove on.

Hmmmm. I seem to remember a recent thread where you and I both preferred clips of Cypher over Andromeda 6.

Yeah that was the OLD Bob Moog who sold his name to Arturia. The YOUNG Bob Moog, if he was born in our computer era, would have developed synths himself, hardware or software. Most likely some lead developer somewhere..

Well for those of us who believe in reincarnation maybe he will be doing that real soon. I wonder who Edison is these days

For sure, he wasn't, because he died after the World War I. But I don't get the humor of the quote, and furthermore the Germans haven't invented the war.

Wow. We really have a misunderstanding here. The quote above is making fun of the English. Not Germans, Englishmen.

It is from a British TV comedy called Blackadder. The main butts of the humor were British.

The Germans have invented other great things except the Blitzkrieg - for example Kraftwerk...Rammstein...Rucksack...Kindergarten...Sauerkraut...Wurstel...Hinterland...Bier...

And the Diva...

I'll raise you J.S. Bach, Hefeweizen, Strudel, Schneeballen, X-rays. and key discoveries in the science of acoustics.

Nowadays Edison could be a producer of solar panels...

And not to forget: Mr. Steinberg! The inventor of the VST and of Cubase!

Auf ein Hefeweizen!! (You know how big Bavarian mugs are?)

How was the guy called with the biggest sample library of the world...right, Mr. Norman Cook...

The real question is, what does Norman Cook think about Mac vs PC, and more importantly, how it affects your ability to argue with people online.

Edison was a monster, I am sure he has plans to screw some poor scientist out of his life savings and rob him of his dreams and inspiration.
