It's not like I rent my facilities/services out to others, or have to meet hard deadlines. It's just for my own use. As long as something works, I'll use it. If it becomes problematic, I'll deal with it then. -
This has come up a few times for me -- and I'm wondering how others have handled it? I'm going to be leaving a band and I get a request to share my charts / arrangements with the replacement. I'm NOT talking about simple lead sheets (lyrics + chords), but rather written out arrangements I created myself with keyboard parts notated and detailed solos. How would you handle? -

So, who else is going? Anyone else scoring tickets for this opportunity to catch a very unique unique line-up performing what may be among the last 'King Crimson official' outings? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? I haven't really checked out a lot of those, myself... Perhaps some YouTube searches for 'Live Concert King Crimson Topic' might give you some samples of what's been released? -
Depends on whether you have the time, capacity, infrastructure, and interest to maintain a thorough testing environment to ensure a functioning system. I certainly wouldn't entrust my central tools to an unsupported configuration without a tested fallback.

In MPN’s GEARLAB

I remember seeing the ads in Keyboard and a picture of the Odyssey on the Musicians Friend catalog. I really wanted one but ended up with the MiniMoog because it was available. In the late 70's you didn't have a lot of choices in a small rural town. Was very interested when this came out but reviews of the horrible touch pads scared me away. Wish it had more jacks for interfacing with the Behringer 2600. Still, maybe someday. Wonder how it compares to the Korg version? -
Carlo, you make that Oddy sound fabulous! I have a black-face Oddy and Axxe in my garage, have had both since the '80's, and both need new sliders, probably new caps, and a ton of cleaning. But hearing you play it made me feel nostalgic for that sound! Given the price of the Behringer, it'll probably be cheaper to just buy a new one than to fix mine. -

OT - just a comment on the original white face Oddy - I modified mine so I had an octave up/down switch. Also changed the pitch knob to one which had a notch sticking out so that I could curl my little finger round it and be confident that I could return it to the neutral position. And I managed to rewire the modulation slider on the first oscillator so that the second oscillator modulated too. It was all very ambitious of me, with not much real understanding of what I was doing, but it worked nicely. i hung onto it for years, only selling it off about 10 years ago. Nowadays I occasionally use the app on the iPad. It’s close enough for me.
