Ha Ha HA!!!!!!

You've found Graham Hinton's pages!!!


Here, under strict copyright, Graham "shatters" myths about synths- while
making his own which are worse!!!


The Moog sound is due to the chip board case and knobs, NOT the filter or glide.

The Odyssey because of it's steel case (only the last rev used steel, btw)
and not IT'S  filter either.

BUT!!!! EMS copied those filters using diodes instead of transistors and
that IS the reason that their's sounds the way IT does??

uh huh.....

Moog never published a page of mods just to make the mini stay in tune, either.


It's funny, but I could tell a minimoog from almost ANY synth, purely from
it's unique glide.

However, that would mean I knew how to PLAY the synth and not just be a
techy.... know what I mean?

Listen to ELP, Pink Floyd, Jan Hammer, etc, etc, etc,- Do YOU hear a wood
case?????

Some people will take the unpopular view point and defend it to the death,
just to be different.

I think you've just found one, Duane!!!
