A90ex is staying. And I THINK the Motif is gone; the auction closes tomorrow, so unless the buyer renegs, that is gone as well. If it changes, I will keep you posted.
You know, it's my spare A90, but it's so clean, I just decided I couldn't really afford to part with it. And nothing comes close to that machine for live use and manipulation.
I hear you. I wasn't the least bit surprised to pick up the Genesis "When In Rome" DVD and see that Tony Banks still uses the A90 as the centerpiece of his rig (even with the Korg OASYS in there).
Ah, the good old days, when gear was well-built and not neutered.
