  1. No MIDI? Only an ethernet jack? So basicly, if you want to use it live you have to bring your router on stage?

    LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME!

    This is basicly an expensive toy.

  2. so all synthesizers aren't expensive toys?

  3. Expensive toy, indeed. But a really cool one. A little extravagent, but hey - why not?

    I would think if you had one the point would be to use it with a computer, yeah? I mean that seems like the point.

    I just got a Monome, which is a (relatively) expensive toy. Nothing like the Lemur, but same concept. It needs a USB port, and that makes sense. You need a lot of software to make it fun anyway, and it is damn cool when you get it going.

  4. Oops. That would be 'extravagant'.

    *Not adjusting well to the time-change ;)*

  5. MIDI? I don't even use MIDI. MIDI = LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME! and has no place, anymore, on MY EXPENSIVE TOYS! GIVE ME OSC! (or something better.)

  6. You dont actually have to take a router on stage - just a crossover cable - but the main point being that you cant hook up a MIDI piece of hardware directly to the Lemur - which at this price is a good point.

    But I suppose that it _could_ be a wise move not to make it MIDI - this is after all rather more 21st Century than MIDI

  7. Lemur needs a computer really.

    Just like all those other USB control surfaces.

    Difference? Ethernet vs. USB.

    Ethernet is better.

  8. whack. i hate digital mixing. sounds like ass. i'm analog through and through. i dont mind tracking in digital and using daws as tape machines, as long as no summing is done in the box...

    it would be cool to make an interface like that for CV stuff..

  9. Why couldn't you use this with CV stuff? Just a few devices to make the translation and viola!!! Right...

  11. I understand the desire to move past MIDI, but most musicians who aren't strictly laptop still use it. There is currently zero mainstream (or even boutique) hardware synth support for OSC.

    I think the lack of direct MIDI support is a big bummer and a major limitation for some of us. For a laptop musician probably not, but then are they going to shell out $2500 for a piece of hardware? Most software based people I know wouldn't (despite my efforts to convince them otherwise).

    It's still a cool device.

  12. Can you display a woman's boobs on it?

    I see an untapped market for this device.

  13. Dude!! I didn't know that BRIAN POSEHN was into synthesizers?? I always thought he was sort of a metal head with no hair.

  14. Control Voltage is the way of the future

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think it's Control Resistance, or Control Current personally.

    If we're lucky, it'll be Control Quantum Temporal Displacement via Tachyon Wavelet Resonance Foldback (AKA CQTDTWRF).

    In the future, all acronyms will be hard to pronounce.

  16. In the future, more than just a few of your jokes will be funny.
