Naaa... I have it stashed away in a storage/shelter with a couple of amps/cabinets/organs  - it's been there since I moved to Gothenburg - awaiting me getting a practice space...and that will be ready this year in my basement. YAY!
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

i've been teaching a course in PD this past quarter - here are some example patches (from my class) if anyone is interested...

I I have a small piano accordion too, but I've no idea how to play it. I guess I just don't really have the co-ordination to get the lead and bass side going together...

octave is the company that got sued by ARP for cloning the odyssey.  their ARP clone was called the CAT, hence the 1 osc version is called the KITTEN.  pretty simple in theory but the waveforms are all available in a little mixer AND the osc can FM the filter so it is BUILT to be the R2D2 machine!  i rarely even play the keyboard, it seems like all it wants to do is make star wars noises... (which is fine by me...)

I have a Roland Juno 6 which will be going up for sale very soon to fund a JM purchase. I love it but I never use it anymore. I like Dain have completely replaced my analog synths/drum machines with Reason.
I got to work with a bunch of killer old modular synths in college... Arp 2600, Buchla(s). Here's a link to the music tech labs at my alma mater...

:'( :'( :'(
no computer could replace my juno6.
no boot-up, just switch on and press some keys. i love this thing.
the lack of midi does not bother me at all. i cannot play a single song on keyboard, but my fingers master enough things for recording the juno for my purposes :)
the reason synths are fantastic sounding, but...  ;D
