Hm... I wonder if getting an SK-10 was as useless and temporary as buying clothes for a toddler. No CV, no Gate, very limited controls...Well, it happened anyway, and I'm actually glad it did, in many ways. The formative years are only just beginning.
I don't think you'll out grow this anytime soon! This is a great first synthesizer! The Roland RS-09 was my first, and it's basically the same thing. Even without CV and Gate, it's polyphonic - which no cv/gate synthesizers are, so it will always be very useful. congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree, it's a great sounding little synth, just like the RS-09! All the same it'd be nice to have some basic envelope & cut-off functions, and generally to be able to experiment a little... These things take time though, I doubt anyone gets the synth(s) of their dreams straight away!
DeleteYes, that's true. And the synthesizer of your dreams tends to be a rainbow, once you think you've got to it - it moves.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I remember that same desire to create flexible sounds, sounds that are like clay in your hands! You'll get there soon!
ReplyDelete(Continuing the rainbow analogy)..., or disappears altogether?!
DeleteUnfortunately the ability to create those sounds sort of depends on synthesizers being as cheap and ubiquitous as clay.. one can only dream. But let's be optimistic and say it depends on the "sculptor" as well!
By the way -- try not to disappear from your blog, if you can!!!
