at least i'm not too stupid, i was a bit worried that this was old hat
amongst the motm old skool (or maybe they're all tending to their taste buds
and not their email..?)
i had the EG involved, to see what i could do with a gate output (the gate
being generated by the input signal to the envelope follower), from here i
could come up with +ve & -ve controlling voltages for the VCA - there's some
lovely effects to be had (especially if you're into ∗proper∗ industiral
stuff), i plopped a loop thru one of those little marshall amp boxes (the
toy one) and then thru the env follower - absolute heaven - unfortunately
the Korg MS-03 seems a little unstable...
next question - if i saw a Roland MC202 for around �280 would i be a fool
not to buy it..? I got my xmas bonus, i worked out my tax - or should i just
invest in more MOTM stuff (Mr S need not reply to this...) - I've heard
their sync-ing is pretty apalling - anyone with any ideas..?
cheers

(who has xmas dinner to look forward to tomorrow, as girlfriend's gallery's
burglar alarm went off at 6am and she spent six hours getting it sorted - so
dinner was cancelled (poor cats) - good job as i was a tad hung over (again)
