Looks cool, you gotta paint the wood silver or something though. What controller is that?

I may stain it mahogany like a minimoog, the controller is an ESI control 25, just out, no aftertouch though unfortunately, it is white though, very nice, well made with an aluminium chassis, pretty good for £65.

How stable as the Blo been for you? Thinking about picking one of those up next week, been hearing mixed reviews on it though. Issues with the arp, delays and sync?

Works well, I don't sync it to anything so I don't know about that,I just use it as an outboard synth for leads, basses etc, wonderful range of sounds though, very deep, I've only just scratched the surface.

I had the sound card output at max and was using software to control the gain. Won't make that mistake again!

Whenever I try to use sampletank with live it crashes. sometimes it makes a really disgusting, unstoppable and ear splitting noise at the same time.
One bass unit seems ok, one tweeter gone completely, other 2 units sound like crap. I keep looking out for a complementary pair on ebay. Never were the worlds best monitors, But I used to quite like the way they sounded.

What about your ears ? did they die as well ?

It happened to me once, a Live crash and a huge burst of noise. I quickly reduced the volume, but I think I'll never forget how painful it was.

My ears have been fairly well knackered since Nineteen Eighty Something. :( :lol:

And that's why you should get a hardware volume controller ;)

if you hit quote for a post you can see how people format their links. there are a few 'tricks.'

also, see the buttons on the forum above where you enter text, one says "IMG". it's for laying down the html tags.
