Bought an ensoniq ESQ-1. Finally! And it does seem to have the sound, although I haven't gone beyond presets.... Not enough time right now. Have cello workshop coming up. Combined with 40mpw and many other projects. Gladden.... Building mom's pond... But hopefully after the cello workshop, and perhaps especially in the fall/winter I will start making some serious music.
Analog versus digital/virtual is night and day for me. It's alive versus dead. Every sound is supposed to suggest a living creature, literally. And with analog it can. Not so much with virtual/digitial.
Wondering if I should get hardware reverb now....
