I totaly agree here, it seems that everyone must get the gear that
everyone else uses, and in the end what does all come down too? you
sound the same, your bare bone sound is already being done...there's so
many clueless musicians oh I have to get the TB-303 or I have to have
this machine since it's totaly based on transistors and if someone sees
me with these machine's I'll be badass. I belive in using what you have,
as a painter creates art with paint, good musicians create art out of
silence, any object can give off energy, and that energy can be
transfered into sounds.
