Looks great & too tempting because I'm trying to downsize & go minimal on hardware, any release date on this?

think I saw somewhere it was around june '11. there is a great thread on gearslutz. and Pym of DSI should answer all of the questions soon.

NIce, it's a bit on the pricey side but for what it does I can see the value behind the price. What do you think of the Jomox stuff compared to this? I've had a few of theirs over the years...

[v00d00ppl]

how much is the digital version going to cost?

[muthafunka]

Wow that looks bad-ass, long-time no-see gearlust . Shame 2 audio uber-brains can't figure out how to mic soft-voice Roger properly so we can actually hear him though.

[loquat]

Looks amazing! The price looks a wee bit high, but I'm sure with the amount of expertise that has gone into it it's worth every penny. Time to start saving.

I just got a chance to see Roger Linn do a hands on live demo, I am very intrigued.

Gonna try to play it a bit tomorrow.

contakt how easy is it to get those samples in it?

[aizo]

well there goes my new years resolution for not buying any crazy expensive gear this year......

[Hidden Driveways]

This is the kind of gear that makes me want to sell other gear so I can buy this gear.

Basically...Damn it.

Wow. Looks fuckin awesome. Anyone wanna buy my grandmother?

Each of the 6 analog voices has 2 analog oscillators plus 2 digital oscillators (with a large bank of included samples), Dave's classic analog low-pass filter with audio-rate modulation, an additional high-pass filter, analog VCA with feedback, 5 envelopes, 2 LFOs, an extraordinary variety of analog modulation routings, and stunning sonic quality, warmth and punch. Although optimized for drum sounds, it excels at tuned sounds as well, and even doubles as a 6-voice analog synth.

WOW.

sounds amazing.... major gearlust here...

[rosti]

That + virus (+ maby moog slim phatty) + live = pure awesomeness!

I think i have to put my grandmother to the For Sale forum aswell..
