pidgeon hole

pidgeon hole

2003-04-16 by Donucci@aol.com

all right eighties boy
here you go
the aftertouch is great
the keys are light fast and loud
its great as a controller as long as your not looking to duplicate the action of your steinway grand
if you want real eighties get a dx7 or sy77
they sound lighter and thinner and more airy
dw is darker heavier and denser sounding
dw is cool cause its sounds are universal
although from the eighties designed with enough sonic versatility to sound cool in any age
dont pidgeon hole it as an eighties sounding synth
its an expressive instrument
will a fender strat from 85 give you an eighties sound
i guess it depends on if you use it to play men at work or godsmack
i recommend the dw to you
itll cover your eighties needs ok although it may not be your ultimate answer cause it aint gonna replicate a dx or juno or whatever
but maybe itll take you in a cool direction
cause its a good thing
if you get one get anthonys editor free from synthzone.com and go to divinemasquerade.com for other stuff youll need for it

yea i want a juno, but no aftertouch or velocity. as long as the kb is
better than my k3 im a happy camper. any sounds i get are a bonus at
that point.
