this will be a late but I'm reading up:
The part I like is "Note the Buchla Modular on top in the middle.
This is his latest addition (which was used for only 1 sound on the
latest album)."
is that supposed to sound impressive? If he's going to spend $8K+
(estimated) then he should know how to get more than one brilliant
sound of a Buchla modular (unless it's just an invt or trying to be
cool).
Did anyone see the article on Music Control in the latest Sound on
Sound, and the bit about buying a VCS3 as an invt (it's worth more
now than two years ago). I wouldn't think that someone could charge
high prices on synths that are still available to buy new (i.e. EMS
VCS3/AKS (minus sequencer & kybd) & Serge). There is a bit of wait,
but you do a get some kind of guarantee and know that there's someone
there to fix it. I think the Music Control guarantee is max 3
months, maybe longer for the Moog 3C, etc. Are people really willing
to pay high prices on EMS stuff just to get the added sequencer
(everyone I've known who's come into contact with it hasn't like it)?
