It's time for the same old "are Nords too expensive?" debate.
Anybody might conclude that given its particular features the Wave 2 is not for them. The same person might say "but I'd buy it for $500." That's not the same as making an objective assessment of value for the dollar. A serious discussion about value has to try to weed out anyone's subjective needs.
Quality hardware is expensive, and Nords are bristling with it. My biggest criticism of legacy Nord synths is that they pair quality control surface hardware with a budget keyboard. Finally Nord has stepped up its game, but of course that entails a cost.
It's often been pointed out that operating out of Sweden means meeting tougher environmental and recycling standards. Speaking for myself, I'll pay extra for that and consider it an investment in my children's future.
Argument well made.

Am I becoming more curmudgeonly with age?
Most likely.

New Atlas is a good publication.

Looking forward to it. More so to one day fully escape the Apple ecosystem and get trapped in Ms's instead.

I wish you subscribed to Apple Music like I do instead.
Feel free to copy and paste! I'm sure most artists are on both.
I would have preferred that you do the work.

I almost want you to make a playlist with the tunes you (and Dreamchilde) post on the KC's Whatareyoulisteningto thread but then it would not give me much of an impetus to follow the thread >.

As mentioned in the global announcement sticky, things will probably continue to shift over time. We're in no hurry to hit any deadlines, so we can take our time and tweak things to our tastes....
Man, this is the best fun.

(now to test whether it will remember posts not read when I leave the site and come back. That would be new behavior vs. pre-update, but something I've hoped for for years.)
Sadly, this doesn't seem to work. I hope it's on the list. If not, please add it. I *think* other UBB sites do it, but I'm not sure. Other fora do it, I know that for sure.
*like* >.<

Thanks for the fixes!

A few little anomalies:
Most threads when you click on them give the full path of links to where you are at the top of the page, i.e.:
Musicplayer.com > forums > keyboard corner > etc
But some of them for whatever reason only show musicplayer.com with nothing after that. A current example is the 70s Polysynth thread. (CLONK)
The title of that thread is also missing in the browser window/tab top.

or overdubbed mono synths (like 4+)
I love that. Speaking of...

Bob James used the Oberheim 4-voice polyphonic quite a lot in the late 70s.

^ I found latency to be an issue with Nectar and Nectar 2 in real-time processing (playing through midi). I don't know if this has been fixed in Nectar 3.

Amazing indeed. I think I was first introduced to Edmar's harpistry on this very site.

In fixing the read/unread posts issue, would it also be possible to keep a more permanent record of unread threads as opposed to marking them all as read after one session?
