Welcome Sweentech1, sorry for the 'rough' intro to Synthzone world. As Diki pointed out, it was much more of a response to the lethal mixture of modern dance music and a bunch of ol' codgers, than about you personally. It's just our usual cruel and insensitive way of saying "this is not our favorite musical genre'".

Since I am patiently awaiting mine (BK7m), I'm happy to see another member/technical resource owning this instrument. Sounds like the reviews so far are overwhelmingly positive. I too, have a SonicCell which, I suspect, will become redundant, since I also have a Fantom G7. I wanted to control mine with my VP-770 but unfortunately, that instrument does not transmit (or receive) aftertouch, and I suppose that would affect the RH voices. I'll probably hook it up to my (ancient but still flexible) Roland A70 controller - 76 keys and a good keybed.

Good luck and again, welcome to the 'zone.

Thanks Chas

I just finished work so am getting a chance to respond now. TBH I was totally shocked at the reaction to my post here, but I have broad shoulders, and I can take it.... and give it back! Just wait !! Lol

My SonicCell is fairly redundant as a sound module now, though I still use it as an audio interface for Sonar. I may have another look at it soon, and how I can use it and the BK-7m together. I don't have many ideas at the moment, but it does have some great sounds and I don't have the luxury of a FG7. I sold a FX8 a few years ago and still regret it now. I may purchase another one day!

I would think your A70 will be a good controller for it. I have been using it in the store with a A800pro which has aftertouch. It is great fun when you get all the knobs and faders going... doing their thing. Assigning CC numbers is fairly easy on these, so it can do quite a bit for you.
I am interested in your VP770. How do you use it? I haven't sold many, but think it is really powerful. I have seen Don lewis using it, and he is a mster with it.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome.

John
