The question is whether I want to spend the money on the same sound available on my laptop for when I'm out of the studio. I do most of my writing/production work while commuting to and from my job. An hour a day adds up, but so does money spent on soft synths. I just bought Chromaphone, and that takes away from my Oberkorn fund.

I'm not one with great finger dexterity, so I write with sequencers to play beyond my limitations. I also happen to like pointialistic synth lines in EBM/synthpop, so it works out! I also love the Oberheim sound, though it took me a while to realize it. Sadly, I'll be letting go of my MIDI'd OB 8 to do this, but it's for the best. I don't suppose anybody wants an OB 8?; November 29, 2011 at 3:45 AM
