Rip Off

[Ken MacBeth]

How dissapointed I was to learn that the name I had
given for my new machine has been ripped off. For a
while I had been calling my synths things like "M3",
"S3" etc. Paul Nagle from Sound on Sound suggested
that I come up with a name for the new machine. I went
through a variety of quite dreadful names and finally
remembered the excellent film soundtracked by
Tangerine Dream, Sorcerer. I called my new device
Sorcerer. Iwas so enthuesiastic about it, I created
the website
http:/www.macbethstudiosystems.freeserve.co.uk
to proclaim it's impending arrival! Stupid move! I
spoke to Matt Bell from Sound on Sound yesterday and
he said "wait a minute ken, there's already a
Sorcerer, we've got a small article a bout it on page
48 of the july issue, it's made by Analogue Systems"
Great! It took some time to come up with that name,
which I believe has some originality to it. Sadly
there's not a lot I can do about it but feel miffed!
