>From what I've understood through some recent interactions w/ some German friends the waldorf and Nord stuff sits around over in Germany like crazy. A bunch of these cats have nords and microwaves sitting by the wayside while they rock out on there MC-303 groove boxes??!!!?? Pretty entertaining info eh? I always opted for the prior more powerful sound design tools. Although some of Rolands more SERIOUS peices sound real good I've always found them somewhat of a Crayola palette. I guess in the end it's just what you're into. Anyways, they had a few used microwaves for sale for around $250-$300 US and said you can find them all over the place in the $200-$500 range. So If you have any connections at all (including an internet one) maybe it's worth it to search around Germany awhile. And if anyones wondering what this has to do with Detroit Techno, we all write techno all over the 248, 313, and 519 area codes, we just hosted some Germans in to perform a little and to witness Detroit and its techno, and its a discussion of the instrumentation used to make techno music. Nuff said.-
