HOLY %#$@!! MY Girlfriend won the Nova Musik TI Polar!!

[AlexHall74]

Alex (Flipside) is right; how can I argue with a man with a name like that?

Let the Ti arrive. Set it up. Use it. Then make some space by disconnecting what you fell you can live without. See if you miss it. Then re-assess.

I'm not one to snuff my nose at cool vintage synths or new monsters like the Ti. They've all got their place in the world. All I know is that I freaking love my KC to bits and bits and tiny bits and I would cry like a freaking baby if I ever lost it. I imagine the Ti is that good or better. Give it a try mate! The other synths ar presumably paid for, right? And this one was free, right?

Test out the Ti, take your girl out for a nice dinner or cook her one at home, and enjoy the moment. There's a time to smell the roses in life, so blow your nose and walk out to the garden. Chin up, mate!



Good luck,

-Alex

I actually really think the TI will compliment your other synths. The Waldorf stuff tends to sound more rawer/digital, the XL-7 is a ROMpler, the Micron/Ion is quite polite sounding, and the Evolver desktop is a mono-synth.

All you need is a nice mixer or multi-channel A/D interface and you're away!

I would keep the MPC, Virus TI and the Blofeld, dump everything else.

DUST!

Hey mate, that is one fucking great girl.

You're gonna keep it forever, of course. Just get her to sign a pre-nup that custody's yours.

Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions. Some good ideas. She's wanting me to keep all my synths and just focus on them one at a time. I guess I just feel kind of guilty having all this stuff and not always using it to it's fullest potential. At least when the depression comes down hard, I'll always be able to sell them.

Today we got a tracking number from UPS and an estimated delivery date of the 12th. That's only Tuesday! Not much longer now. Then I'll only have to sift through about 2500 presets to get a feel for it.

If you go to Nova Musik's web site they've still got a "Congratulations" posting near the header. It's been there a few days now. She thought this was really cool and saved the page as a PDF.
