...I decided to go from hardware synths to sofware synths. A softsynth called Reality had just been released by Seer Systems, and I had convinced myself that it was the wave of the future. I sold off a Kawaii K4 and an Alesis QS6 in order to jump on this softsynth bandwagon. |

My dumbest purchase (that I am oddly still proud of) was buying a NeXT computer. You don't know NeXT? It was the company founded by Steve Jobs after he was pushed out of Apple in a power struggle. The computer was beautiful. It was a black cube made out of solid magnesium..... .... but they couldn't get any real marketshare. Things changed at Apple and Steve Jobs was able to go back to Apple. That's when he announced NeXT was folding. I now had a Ferrari with no support or gas. I was devastated. ...... so I donated it and all the software/hardware to a local school. It was the right thing to do... |

Plus, to my ears, the Synclav was a dern good piece of gear. |
