Lets see what happens with this one. It is the older solid style so no repair work on this one.

I'm gonna take a little run at this one. JMM - can you describe the kind of sound you can get from the filter end of the unit?

JMM, you're a hopeless romantic.

But I like the way you think.

Trigger Filter responds to how hard you play, and sounds a bit like a wah pedal sweep. Clean rhythm sounds funky, clean single notes sounds quacky like the solo at 2:15 in Edie Brickell - What I Am.

I personally like MPC 6 with a fuzz face-- instant Jimi, without flexing your ankle.

Cool module. Don't let my description make you hate it before you hear it!

Thanks Guys - I knew I wanted one! Hopefully it doesn't go stratospheric in price.

Would you call $135 (with over two hours to go) stratospheric?

There is a better than good chance that HE IS AMONG US! Just a guess, on my part, but....

Maybe one of you lucky fellows with the entire collection at your disposal could work up a video / sound demo of each, so the rest of us module-less souls can dream about them.
