unsolicited praise of grant

2002-04-24 by gcmci

In the 70's we had Buchlas....  

In the Wiard, I have found a Buchla sound and philosphy with real 
documentation, user modifiable, field maintainable, with 21st cetury 
components and construction.

And, to top it off, add Grant, who is constantly rethinking his 
designs, considering his user's needs (who does that?) 

Congratulation, Grant

Gary Chang

P.S. For the record, I found the most recent faceplate artwork to be of 
exceptional quality.  (I'm not celtic..).  With my aging eyesight, I am 
too busy trying to READ the graphics than to admire/dispise the 
artwork.

I think that we let our sentimental glands run wild when then admire 
our old synths - IMHO, with the exception of a 2600 Blue Meanie, a 
music easel or a Roland Jupiter 8, most of electronic music instruments 
look like they were designed by IKEA, or should be hanging out with the 
rest of its kind, in the back corner of some props wherehouse where 
they store all the stuff for the Spaceballs sequal!
