some picks from the first 2 days: https://audionewsroom.net/2024/05/our-top-10-picks-from-superbooth-2024.html -
Highest discounts on the least desirable gear and brands.😎 -
The D-50 *is* an end-all/be-all, to a certain degree. I have a tidy bagful of patch sets for it and the range is far greater than you'd expect. It has a slightly screechy aspect here & there, befitting the tech of the time, but its a minor element. The Cloud version is comparable to the cleaner plugs-ins we see as standard now. I'm impressed by several shiny new things lately, but its funny to consider that a software version of THAT would be one of them. Best of all, its practical. Its not always my first go-to, but it layers like a champion. I follow new releases as eagerly as anyone else. I've simply reached the point where consistency feels more inspiring than novelty. -

Found a used flight case pedal board at the big box music store. Cut the front down to floor level Ta Da! Now to secure pedals Just have to weld the cutout to the lid section -
That's an impressive set. I like the basic voice, but what's really winning me over is the included Expander. It amps things up considerably. They didn't just double down on this one; its more like quadruple, as the modeling process was clearly extra-intense. I'm sure that at a few points, they felt like they had the Frankenstein monster's parts and no manual. I can get similar sounds from the Elka-X, for example, but having two Chromas in one place is pleasantly daunting. There are different routes to take, but my piano side is loving how some of the patches feel as wide as the classic "THX" mega-portamento event. I'm not one who piles up LFOs like some do. I just want a super-broad, playable poly patch that opens a door to another dimension. Izzat so much to ask? 🤨⚡🤯

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.
