At the moment I've got no time to listen to your links. >From Roland I only own a MT-32. If you don't use it as a preset Synth, but program and then use the pseudo analog section only, even this "toy" sounds amazing, but of cause not typically Roland like. When Dirk Brauner and I still were friends, I liked to borrow one of his Roland Juno 106. This synth is one of my favourites, even if the sound might not be as rich as that of the 6 and 60. In the early 80s the JX-3P and Yamaha DX7 were released at the same time. Dirk preferred and bought a JX-3P. It wasn't easy to get a DX7, because everybody wanted one, hence they tried to sell me a JX-3P too, but I decided to get a DX7. It was the right choice for me, but even the JX-3P in some way is as amazing as the Juno and Jupiter series are. Btw. I'm or at least was a guitarist and I'm not and never was a keyboarder, but those CV gate to MIDI thingies always did a good job, at least for e.g. the Prophet 5 version a friend has got. FWIW IMO the Studio 440 and Prophet 2000 sound amazing. I would avoid buying a 2000, regarding to the faulty chip, but I would like to get a 440, same sound, but the sound doesn't unwanted jump back and forth. - Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
