[A6] hello again

[matrixsynth]

Congrats!  As for build quality I heard it's solid.  I think MC or 
someonelse mentioned way back that it's built like a tank - industrial or 
military grade parts or something.  I forget the details, but the "wobbly" 
knobs thing has been mentioned and dismissed.  I think the perception is due 
to them being light and plastic, so the knobs feel lighter, but the pots 
they are connected to are rock solid.  It's a very well built synth so enjoy 
it from that perspective as well.  ;)  I also heard someone replaced the 
knobs with Memorymoog type knobs at some point.  I wonder how they feel.

>>i don't think i can give a very fair assessment of the unit at this time,

>>the knobs do feel a little wobbly, and i would hope for better keyboard

>>i haven't gotten into mix mode just yet, so i am yet to experience any of
