Which is exactly why he made this thread??? LOL
He openly admits and asks for help regarding this topic. He was probably focused on sound, how it would fit his needs, who knows. The bottom line is he asked for help because he wasn't sure how it all connected and worked. That is the main reason why I stressed getting the Virus so much. He will learn a lot from the Snow he bought and should make some great sounds with it as well.
I guess it's a matter of opinion. Some think he shouldn't be getting any hardware because he doesn't know how to connect it which makes them think he didnt "study" enough, or whatever. Some think (like me) he should get something that will integrate easily in his work flow and provide a work horse and teach him a lot, and others think he needs to get an audio interface, an LP, and a JV. (This combination would be out of his price range if you paid attention. JV is $200 and you get no cards. It's bread and butter ROM patches from 2 decades ago. LP, getting a stage II is the way to go not a used one off eBay that still is going to break his price range after you factor in an audio interface that isn't a piece of shit)
Excuse me for suggesting a practical and efficient idea to him. I apologize that he listened and bought the Snow. Hopefully he won't get on here and talk about how bad it sucks because afterall he has no business having one because he didn't study it enough. That, and he needs to be getting an LP, an audio interface, and a JV (get some ROM cards while you're at it. Those bread and butter sounds are impossible to find elsewhere) even though he clearly wanted a single polyphonic synth to begin with.
Excuse me for getting the red-ass over this but people need to start reading the original posts and looking at the big picture. This topic is a prime example of it. I mentioned the Virus because I already personally knew he was interested in getting one.
Finally, I'll bet any amount of money to whoever wants to bet that he will be more than satisfied with his Snow and the choice he made. So the thread served its purpose but didn't require stupid banter that should have never begun in the first place and wouldn't have if people would have just thought a bit about the big picture. If somebody declares they're buying something and you can't stop them, why start an argument about how much, or how little, research they did? Why suggest an expensive 1 voice analog synth when the person is clearly looking for a polyphonic VA. Makes absolutely zero sense to me. Not to mention the fact that they should get a JV too, which will require an audio interface, extra cables, etc. I am almost certain what he paid for the Snow was at the brink of his budget.
Here is a question....
Why would you NOT suggest Robby get a Virus TI after he has made it plainly obvious that he is going to buy a polyphonic VA? Some answers with substance would be cool too. The "everybody has one" is getting old. The Virus has thousands among thousands of presets alone plus endless sound design capabilities.

) and on the other hand you would get all the people who are building their own synths lauging their ass off hardcore.
