I plan to hook this puppy up (through my Line-6 Filter Pro and Deley Pro..and clean
) and sample the hell out of it for you Kontakt users out there (during next semester). In all honest, I can't put the thing down...I'm simply giggling to myself.My first hard synth!

thats right...after fevorishly collecting soft synths and having to spend more money to keep them updated, I've decided to purchase my first piece of hardware. Not only that, I've decided all my hard synths need to come from the 80's as punishment to the amount of money I've spent on soft synths. Thats right, it came today and I just learned to program the ADSR. You know it, you remember it....C***O VL-1

Sweet!!!
Finally a synth that can help me ballance my checkbook and do my math homework. Now I want one. I've seen them at the fleamarket for really cheap. They look like they could be good circuit bending material too.

The VL-1 was always a piece of sh*t. 
The synth for kiddies who couldn't program synths and were too cheap to buy a larger board.
What I can't work out is how the lamers on sonicstate can give it the same rating (4.5/5) as the DX1 !

It wasn't even that. It was a toy for children. It wasn't made to be used professionally in a studio at all.I was always more of a SK-1 man.

Yeah, just because the VL-1 has been used by a couple of groups, it's become a fashion thing.
Can't wait to see kraftwerk use an electronic kazoo in one of their concerts.
There'll be a run on kazoos then!

Well I'm stupid. Thought it was worthless. I just gave away my VL-1 to a friend's kid. Had the box, manual, ugly little brown case, even the original plastic wrap. $80??? Damn.

ummm...
Some of you are of those analyitical types that often miss the joke and have people stare at you in wierd ways because you try to correct the joke teller by proving a point with your deep profound knowledge, to the point of bitterness, arn't ya!?!
OK, the cats out of the bag, yes, its a toy. But still fun to play! You bitter people remember playing when you were a kid, right? Try it, its grand.
edit: SK-1, here I come!!!!

absolutely! it was the first 'synth' i owned (although not the first i played with) and it had enough on it to teach me about ADSR, amplitude, LFO and, with judicious use of a hand over the speaker, filters...Chase wrote:meroveus wrote: The synth for kiddies who couldn't program synths and were too cheap to buy a larger board.
mine, which I bought new in 1982, was nicked in 1997-ish, and although i doubt i'd find a serious use for it now, i'd still rather some f**ker hadn't nicked it!
of course, but you say that to someone, and it becomes a challenge: "right! I'm gonna use this little plastic bastard!"Chase wrote:It wasn't made to be used professionally in a studio at all.
