  3. The "Rave-O-Lution 309" has to be one of the worst-named bits of kit I've ever seen. That said, it was a fairly amusing tool. I never found it to be terribly good at 303-emulation (it had more of a Moogy sound to my ears) but it could produce some nice fat lead sounds. I really liked the realtime tweakability of the percussion, too. The Novation DrumStation had more authentic X0X drum hits but it's tiny knobs were much more fiddly than the 309's. A pity QuasiMidi didn't make it as a company.

  4. I've figured it out:

    A rectangular synth makes rectangular noises.

    A modular synth makes sounds like spaghetti.

    The PAiA fat man makes pies that make you fat.

    Noise is the new signal.

  5. I always liked the 309... but I could never bring myself to put down money for something called a "Rave-O-Lution". That whack ass name is the sole reason Quasimidi went out of buisness.

  7. I see this is 3 year old post... I have the old 309 and I never used it with midi. I'm merring around with reason and as this thing has like a ton of great buttons anf great knobs I was wondering if anybody attempted using the RaveOlution 309 with the latest version of Reason. I have both Reason and Record and I'm was about to look into a midi controller keyboard but stopped and looked at the 309..
    Any thoughts on this? has anyone attempted this?
