WOW Cello!! I hope it is up to your expectations!
I have a feeling it will!
So you expect it to meet your expectations. Hmm… I expected that.

What about me? **sniff** I have birthdays, too.

Think of all of the things I have done to you guys… uh… I mean… done for you guys.

Come on. Surely, you can think of something.

Anything?

**sigh**

At least you all are a forgiving sort.

DUCK!!!

Yah, savor the moment!

The longer I have it, the more I'm falling in love with this machine!

I suppose the honeymoon will be over at some point, but going to enjoy it while it lasts....

Piaknowguy, I'm excited about your excitement! Also saying Hi to Igglethorpe and to The Un-dr - new FA owners.

Fresh back from my FA Honeymoon, but nobody (certainly not me) is talking about divorce here.

Been busy trying various workarounds for certain issues, and trying some cheapo hardware add-ons, to make my FA even better. Will expand on my findings at later date. Cheers.

giiiiiii....Piaknowguy!!!
I'm happy for you :-)

At the moment I'm just trying to convince myself that the MOXF was the best decision over the FA and the Krome/Kross...

very powerful but also complex machine when compared to the Rolands...

Tell us when it arrives

Well, if you already own an Integra, there's no question at all: the MoXF IS the better choice then! Great symbiosis of both sound worlds.

You are right! it is a great symbiosis of both sound worlds, but I bought the MOXF also for controlling 4 different Zones, to become a real Master Controller and a Synth, but the learning curve is steep... ;-)

Uh oh. Did he fall in the giant whirlpool already?

I've now had my FA-06 for a week and am loving the workflow! So nice to be away from soft synths for awhile. I spend too much time in front of the computer for work as it is!
