| 2605.1 | Is *what* a deal? ($$$) | TLE::TLET8::ASHFORTH | The Lord is my light | Fri Mar 29 1991 08:29 | 0 |

| Sounds right.. I hope you don't have to buy sight unseen. It better
have all those lovely buttons.. And, of course, I, too, dunno if it's
a DEAL until you post the price. A call to E-Mu Systems might not be
out of place.
You may or may not be able to run the latest OS rev. I didn't
upgrade beyond OSv3.2 because a) they wanted $99 b) I hated the sounds
resulting from the new interpolation scheme.
All the details sound right. Don't count too much on the sequencer -
strictly download/playback only. Not even useful for live performance
to drive the EMAX and other SGU's since it won't even carry patch
changes.

Jeez, that's what I get for noting at night. The price is $769
and it looks like they've got a whole bunch of them. I'm sure
they'll have some out in the showroom, so I don't have to buy
sight unseen...
So what's the going price for a real EMAX?

| About a year ago I saw floppy-based RACK EMAXen for ~$1800.
So $800, especially new, is a smokin' deal... if you need the keys..
hell, buy two and stand one in the corner.. plugged in, of course..

You know, we have a name for this over in the Guitar Notes file -
GTS (Guitar Toy Syndrome). What's the equivalent thing here?
STS?
Anyway, the Emax/Baldwin ?? deal is at Goodman Music, which has 5
stores in Southern California. Check the replies in the Latest
Hot Price note for location/phone number. I'm torn between this
and a sudden yearning for a Fireglo Rickenbacker 12 string (a
buddy brought one over on Saturday). Guitars appreciate, synths
just get obsolete...
Hey, Hoyt, you're not gonna walk *this* thing around town with
headphones, are you?

| I think the usual local expression for New Toy Syndrome is "MIDIocy."
Alternatives might be "SGUphoria" or "psykeypathology".
I suppose I *could* lug around a sampler and a 12-volt battery to drive
it, and combine my Rahsaan-about-town DHX00 routine with my physical
fitness regimen... but it wouldn't be hip to play kool jazz and SWEAT.
I guess I'll look up the number -- thanks for the info. - Hoyt
