I’m not having Korg as Volvo, the Prologue is a work of art!

Even if I couldn’t play, I’d have one in my living room as a piece of furniture

@Schnork

Arturia=Citroen

Yeah, I think the use of Steiner-Parker filters is akin to the use of hydropneumatic suspension – like the Citroën DS from the 70s that would lift after you start the motor. People are always like “oh that’s interesting”, but they don’t exactly like it.

Also, the Microbrute is totally the 2CV

People can say what they want but the new volvos have been amazing cars. I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure how that translates to gear though.

[lowph]

Yeah, I like Volvos! I always associated them with safety and also reliability

[onthebannedwagon]

Who the hell hates on Volvos? The Volvo 240 is a utilitarian marvel and looks better than 99% of what is on the road these days.

I was referring to the “now they are made in china “ argument people were making.

[onthebannedwagon]

Well, that’s why I bought a Maybach but still…

Every now and then a thread comes along on this forum that reminds me of the time I use to get really high with my roommate and come up with random music/djing questions that we’d ask each other. This is that every now and then thread. Thanks for the memories.

Well, not a car, but we certainly know who is the Goop of synthesizer manufacturers.
