Yeah i know that site.
Have taken it apart many times- just cant see what did it. Total mystery TBH. Touch wood it hasnt happened for a while.
It is certainly tempremental |

It probably isnt grounded properly and some metal part of the live circuit is touching the case, making it go 'live'?
Either that or its trying to kill you :eyespop: |

Just my opinions:
Underrated:
1. Korg 01
Why: It has decent built in effects, bad ass emotional pads. Decent sequencer, pretty cheap these days. Easy to use UI.
2. Kawai K5000S
Why: Additive synth for real unique sounds, tons of knobs for real time control of pretty much all important parameters.
3. Alesis Fusion
Why: Cheap, sampling, multitrack recording, FM, analog modeling, physical modeling, subtractive wavetable, great effects, musically VERY usefull. Easy to use UI. |

Another underappreciated synth is:
Roland XP-30.
Why: All the sounds of the 1080, 2080, Xp-50/60/80, plus techno, sessions, and orchestra sounds. Along with controllers, lighted buttons and a good ui for less then anything else in that category. |

LMFAO at any retard dissing the 303. Yeah, it may be ing stupid to program, but how many other ing synths spawned entire genres of music that are still going on strong to this day? Cretainly the moog; and, perhaps you could argue the JP8080, but even hardcore oldschool trance fanatics like myself are sick of the supersaw bull. The 303 on the otherhand... man, I'll be at the club and all of a sudden a sick 303 square bassline comes into play and BOOM, dancefloor ing MAYHEM.
Do not diss that synth. Period.
I've got acid in my veins |

Totally agree about the an1x as well- very under-rated. I have the cs1x and cs2x too and keeping the same user interface was a smart move by yamaha.
The fact that i picked up my An1 for £100 ($200ish) makes it even more special. |
Yea but the cs1x and cs2x just looks the same but the 8 knobs can not be shifted (or only once) if I remember right. The An1x first annoys you to program but soon you realise that every vital parameter can be tweaked within half a second. |

You can't do either of these on a Ti.. You can't even play 2 or 3 arps or 4 midi tracks at once without having to press the panic butten everyone 2 minutes now. ;) |

What could be happening is the insulation inside the cable could be broken somewhere exposing the live cores and the earth core, and when they come in contact you'll get a voltage in your synth's chassis. This should be discharged through the earth but if the earth is broken then the chassis will remain live until grounded by other means (ie touched). This could also explain why it's intermittent because the cable could be moving a lot. |

Awww, quit yer whining. OS 1.1 should be out any day now. That's what you get for being a trend whore :p
I'm no rocket scientist but when Access first announced it - I said: "wait at least a year after it's released or expect to have problems"... but nooooo... no one listened. :)
Oh well... |

Umm... yah... I c. I think you should stay off of LSD for a little while, child.
Oh, and 303 IS OVERRATED! That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Now, eat me. :tongue3 |
