[K.E.M.]

Wow..I had no idea my topic generated this much attention!. Lol

Well the conversation is starting to swerve off, but let me tell you my adventures since I've last posted.

I purchased the SH-32 and found that I probably won't be buying the MS2K for awhile, but I'll probably end up getting a JP8***, rack or keyboard, dunno yet. The Virus is too expensive for me, and I found that it isn't the same in character as the Virus, and while the Virus is very powerful and it's sound is technically evil and cool sounding, I don't see myself with a Virus, I see myself with a JP...maybe because I previosuly owned it before, and I've grown attached to it. Lol.

But otherwise...the SH-32 still kicks my ass, big time. I plan on using in it a guitar synth setup one of these days, because it kicks that much ass that I can go Amir Derakh on it. =D

It basically relies on built-in samples as waveforms, and from there it runs as a VA, so you're able to control all of the sounds as if it were a VA. It's very thick and warm sounding too, in my opinion.

Overall, my setup so far is:
-Korg Triton LE Workstation
-Korg DS-8 FM Synth
-Roland SH-32 "Quasi VA" Synth

I do plan on a Roland JP8 of some sort before the end of the year, as well as a kick ass production computer. =)

So yeah, I guess that's it for now...but I'll still be coming to the board, because while I wouldn't purchase the hardware version of the Virus, I would love to see myself with the Powercore, because that could help me make some ripping experimental tracks and stuff. =)
