double want

TQ5s and TX81Zs are pretty cheap when they show up on eBay.

so someone else can make this for me and all i have to do is play it? ooooh!

I still need to replace the internal battery before the seq will work properly. Alan said that even he doesn't really understand how it works :)

For live situations where I don't want to have a computer involved.

first point:

MAJOR reason for putting together the little monster- IT'S HARDWARE ...which in my book already makes it 10 fold cooler than sytrus.

second point:

the computer keyboard is for PROGRAMMING and EDITING patches. usually a sound designer needs a control panel in order to synthesize A REAL PIECE OF HARDWARE, especially such a beast as a Yamaha 4 Op FM synth.

FM from the folks who made FM famous. not from people who took pre-existing technology, and translated it into a piece of software

now my own points:

has fruity loops ever crashed, while you were working? the TQ5 won't crash, like software... how much CPU does it take to run just one instance of sytrus? it takes 0% DAW CPU to run a TQ5 ;-)

Dalas: I bet we can also program FB-01's with the TwoPot as well. I have to ask Alan.... have you checked into those? ....SUPER CHEAP!!!!! could literally have a 'stack' of em running at once....

thanks for explanation, Jay. I'm not working with FL studio so often, more likely I'm an AEfag. Also I have very fast CPU's, so there is no problems for me at all. I think, Dalas said it all previously...but what is these "live situations", I really have no idea!
