yeh true!
but thats where the sampler can come in handy. it takes a bit of work though. ive been playing around with appegiators by sampling single notes from the CS, then i ran those notes from the sampler (off an appegiator) thru the CS again - triggering the filter, plus triggering the OSC..chunky results pefectly in time with cubase...
if you go here
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/hollowcell.htm and then look for track CS-10 appegiator you will see what i mean...play it loud though, because i didnt compress it so much to give it alot of dynamic range.......
of course though, its not the same as having the machine triggered directly from midi...but its ok for me at the moment...the sequence is at 150bpm by the way...
where it becomes complicated is rapid note changes...this is where using the sampler becomes too time consuming...having to sample too many individual notes can really suck...
at any rate...buy an analogue blank! im converting rapidly (mainly in the bass side of things)....the only other analogue i had used in depth before the CS was an alpha juno when i was in ausi (but ive bought one off the auctions recently too)...they have DCO instead and although they sound pretty good, im far more impressed with the CS in terms of bass and raw characture! i had only played analogues in a shop before that (not the same as blasting along side the rest of your gear)...
