I see your point - especially when you bring up the absolutely unduplicated sound of the Moog filter. >However, I think it`s silly to say that new gear suck, and that old gear is >everything, and vice versa, if one`s only concern is making music. If one is >more into specs and quality of technology or being a collector, I`m more >understanding as for what one prefer. My big gripe about many old instruments is reliability. There's nothing musical about a synth that won't stay in tune, or has intermittent failures, etc. But as Mike pointed out, not all old synths are in bad shape, and anyone who can find a well-maintained Mini/2600/System 100-M etc. certainly won't get any crap from me for using it. BTW, did anyone else see the "new-in-box" Roland 100 (not the M) on Ebay a few months ago? Someone got lucky, finding that in his warehouse!
