Guys, I've held on to the D-50 I got in 1988 - and I'm glad I did; there were a few times when I wasn't using it and nearly sold it.

Why don't you guys buy one off ebay? I see they are available for not ridiculous prices. Is it more a question of space?

That is extremely generous of you! Many many thanks. I'll pay for the ice.

:O)

<t>On the documentation front, I've decided this:<br/> I'm going to play around with the GT with no knowledge of sound synthesis and see what I come up with. Then, later, I'm going to buy the books you guys have recommended and dig deeper into the world of sound.<br/> <br/> Question now is, how do I...

I just got a call from my local music shop ... my GT has arrived!

I feel almost as excited as the night I knew I was going to lose my virginity!!

:O)

Artemio, just make sure she doesn't learn to use the volume knob! I am suffering from tinitus (constant ringing in my ears) from listening to my Walkman in the 80s too loudly. Take care of her pretty little eardrums!

Damn, does this mean it takes more than 4 of those big batteries?

That's fantastic news and not what I expected at all.

<t>Thanks to all of you for your comforting, motivating words. I shall shop around Amazon and read the reviews of the books you've recommended.<br/> <br/> Artemio, thanks again for mastering "Funeral" - it sounds great! When do you think version 3 of the Tweakbook will be out? Not for a long time?</t>

<t>Hi All,<br/> <br/> So I've been waiting for my GT to arrive and it hasn't yet. In the meantime, I've been following all your postings. The more I read, the more I worry that the GT may be well beyond my capabilities. I've never programmed a patch before - I know nothing about the science of audio...

Rez, my heart bleeds for you. What with you having too much on your plate, I feel - as a fellow human being - that it's my obligation to help you out of your dilemna.

Send me your Virus.

:O)

Thanks for the tip. I watched all the videos. Interesting stuff. The factory sounds do sound a bit crap, as I had read elsewhere. We'll see what I really think when mine arrives...

<t>Hi everyone,<br/> <br/> I ordered a GT about a month ago; ETA is end of July. I am very excited! However, this will be my first stab at sound programming, so it's going to take me a long time to get anywhere.<br/> <br/> I doubt, as a GT owner, I will be able to give you any useful input regarding...

<t>I've just posted on two other threads - I've just joined - so I hope I'm not overdoing it, everyone...<br/> <br/> I haven't kept up with music technology over the last few years, so when I read about the GT last month, it was the first I'd heard of V-Synth.<br/> <br/> I'm sure I'll be blown away ...

<t>Milo said, "One of the good things of getting older is we DO become smarter (or less silly)."<br/> <br/> I was a '68 baby and I'm very much still a baby. Still, that's the way I was made, so I'm not going to fight it! I guess I must be a little smarter but, damn, I'm no less silly!<br/> <br/> Wel...

<t>Hi All,<br/> <br/> I feel incredibly lucky to be in the economic situation which allows me to buy one of these puppies.<br/> <br/> I haven't seen one and I haven't heard one but the moment I heard about these babies, I knew I had to have one. Why? I've bought two Roland flagships before: the D-50...
