It's actually a single-osc mono-synth called 'The Cricket'... It only produces 8bit chirps, and is modest in it's victory!

It has assignable LBW's though and multiple LFOs (Low Freddie Oscillators)

I think you'll will be 'stumped' trying find one with the recent 'run out' sale.

From what I've heard they have a 'pitch' problem.

Yes, I heard that too. When the 'pitch' was in focus it created a whining noise from 'down under'.

:wink:

I don't get cricket at all either. I saw the positions described once, holy crap.

I was hanging out in Golden Gate Park on 'hippy hill'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9apr_cgHV4

where lots of people chill, play in drum circles, lay out, it was a busy sunny Saturday afternoon. then a group of about a dozen Indian guys show up with a ball and cricket bat. they set up the wickets on the main path through the area and played a full on game. everyone had to walk around them, the ball was flying all over, often hitting people chilling out. this went on for a few hours and everyone absolutely loved it!! lots of people tried bowling for the first time but nobody knew what was going on. great site to see.

Summer is just a myth here. :cry:

I'm surprised English doesn't have more names for grey.
