@@gixerags750 no, the System 8 is limited to just the handful of ACB models. And it does those like nothing else - it's easily my favorite Roland synth of the last few decades! The JPX is a much more complete "anthology" of Roland's greatest hits. Tough to choose between them! The S8 is much more of a time machine though, and incredibly inspiring!

Would you say there is significant overlap between the Rev2 and OB-X8? I bought the rev2 two weeks ago and just realized the ob-x8 D is $700 off. Played the ob-x8 was my dream since playing it at guitar center next month, but I don't want to discount or underestimate the Rev2. Maybe I'm crazy but I am down to own both. The reve seems brassier but probably tameable in that regard, though the OB-X8 is just so creamy and feels great. Would you justify owning both, or do you own both?

Hi Jim, I asked you about these stands a few months ago and I'm grateful for the information that you previously gave me. However, what I had forgotten to ask you was if you were using wall mounts with your Standtastic Stands. I see that your synths on the highest levels are on some very steep angles! This is what I'm looking to do with my synths, as I only own three, but, I worry about them falling forward. I plan to have a Nautilus 88 on the first tier, a Fantom 7 EX on the 2nd, and a Jupiter X on the the top tier. Naturally, I would want to angle mine as I've seen in your videos. Thanks again for the earlier response, I appreciated the info you shared. Also, your Jupiter X video (VST in a box) was awesome. The gentle shove I needed to finally "pull the trigger" on purchasing one. It's a great synth, but I love the Fantom a lot more! Thanks.

You really don't know what it costs to make a product. When you build a product you don't just put some components together and call it a day. You might have to spend first 2-3 years finding suppliers, making prototypes - all the while you haven't been paid a SINGLE penny for your time and effort. Judging from the look of the device I would guess it costs at least 200 dollars to build - which means there is some margin on top of it but if you knew anything about running a business you actually need to sell a product for at least 3X the cost of production to have some kind of business. Basically 1 part goes to paying the original product, 1 part goes to re-ordering it, and 1 part goes to labor, rent, shipping, insurances, software, returns, marketing, faulty items, etc. I would LOVE to have you demostrate how you will make this product with 20 dollars at this quality AND make it widely available to the public. Yeah - no you wont. Because you won't be willing to make any of the sacrifices it takes to build a product. No one is going to get rich selling this midi controller.

I had the same journey. Also trying to get my hands on the old Peavey controller. But with that in mind I ended up with Icon Pro Audio. What most people don’t realize is that their Platform X+ extender is not just an extender. If you are looking for a perfect MIDI fader controller, with 8 motorized faders, this one should be considered. So, to be clear, it is usually discarded as the extender unit, but for me it is the perfect 8 fader MIDI controller that I use to control my VSTi’s and sample libraries. It does not need the base Platform M+ unit to function, so you can work with just the extender. (I have a separate large DAW controller for that purpose). Hope this helps anyone looking for the perfect MIDI fader. Also, I think the new Icon Pro Audio P1X also can be used like this.

As an owner of the original PPG 2.2 and 2.3 from 1983 on (and writing some international chart hits with it in the 80ties), I sold it years ago, because of its permanent unreliability and technical vunerability especially after using in concerts and live apperances. Additional, the lack of reasonable analog sound options (especially "strings" and "pads" was another problem and a thing that has always bothered me regarding this unquestionably in some way genius old machine. After selling the original PPG lots of years ago I was permanently looking for an alternative.. After watching your nice report today my search has obviously coming to an end. I have ordered a 3rd wave today from my german dealer and it is the first hardware synth I have bought for a decade, after using dozens of unsatisfying VST-"alternatives" in the last years. Now, I am very intense of this new device. Thank you again for your nice report, for the great sounds you have presented and your truly enthusiasm in this video.

@ yes, there are a lot of basic fader boxes in the "cheap" category, but again, you get what you pay for. His m.o. with this wasn't a budget piece; it was a no-compromise hardware solution that many composers have been looking for for ages. There is *nothing* else on the market with all of these features (especially the extensive custom labeling options, high quality color screen, etc.) and the two closest options are similarly priced but don't come close in feature set. He didn't use any cheap budget hardware; it's all high-end or custom parts, which aren't cheap; again, his margins aren't what some are assuming. If someone just needs a couple faders that always do the same thing with no frills, there are certainly many "cheap" options on the market. This is a whole other category.

@@thomasbroker69I’d guess it’s ARM based from the complexity and good response of the display. But still the price is a little overkill. I’d expect half the price. But I guess they’re produced in really small numbers.

You say it is not a DAW controller. I understand it can’t control DAW faders, etc. But I want to be sure that MIDI CC changes are transmitted /recorded into the DAW so that there are continuous curves (like expression or modulation) that I can subsequently fine edit in the DAW. CORRECT?

@@barryreynolds1949 of course! That's the whole point: to allow you to "perform" all those relevant CCs into your DAW while playing/recording virtual instruments, samples, MIDI gear, etc. Then, yes, being able to edit that data after the fact. So in that sense, it's the same thing as a DAW controller; but since most DAWs don't send that CC data back out, you don't need motorized faders for this. 😁

Thanks for the review. Have you tried the Choisauce faders? I currently own one and the it feels fantastic. Hans Zimmer uses one.

@@PeacefulThinker1010 I haven't, for the reasons mentioned in the video (I referred to it specifically in a few places, but not by name) - it gets rave reviews for the feel of the faders, but it misses several crucial features for me: mainly the excellent visual feedback & custom parameter/scene names that the MusioTech offers.

Very valid points. For me what I really like about the Choisauce is its simplicity. No software required. Just dial the CC you want to control, and go. BTW, fantastic collection of synths!
