So what is going on with the new Roland boutique line? It looks awesome, but of course when you get into the details its another product I do not need. I just hope this tech comes to a mega-synth module that's overpowered with all the options. The boutique systems are only 4 polyphony. Therefore, I can't use it as a Jupiter 8 clone. Minikeys also invaded to keep the cost down. My fingers are too big. I could use it as a module, or buy two of them, but geez thats too many hookups and doubles the cost for a digital system. They are kind of cool and sound better than whats out there now, but I'd end up spending as much as my computer for a Jupiter-8. I'd just end up fooling around with it.
Roland's Boutique line is Kinda Cool, but a pass just from the specs alone. Roland came out with other synths this year but I don't care about those either!
Moog's Mother 32 is a Euro rack system that sounds good so far and is not expensive. I think a lot of people will be picking this up. It seems to nudge a lot of budget options out of consideration if you are into modular.
What else? I've been playing synthesizer at home. I renewed this domain for another year and plan to keep it going as long as I can. I'm still happy with the switch to Blogger platform. I might create a seperate video gaming blog and review games, because that is also a hobby.
