Hi all,

OK I know this will cause arguments but....

The future of the analogue synth is not that good.  I know that each does
have its own characteristic sound (mainly due to its filter), however with
dsp and software developments advancing so rapidly it is possible to emulate
the sounds without the problems associated with the stuff we build
(processors don't need tempcos!).

Take the Nord Modular for example - its fantastic you can have more modules
than sense, and you can get even more from the net.  Now try carrying 30
modules plus keyboard under your arm with your analog kit.

Don't get me wrong I love my analog stuff and do prefer it over anything
else, but in ten years time there won't be a need anymore.

yours

Andy (waiting for the abuse to start filling my mailbox!!!)
