I wouldnt say you were an idiot but just went through that old cliche of "you never know what youve got till its gone".

What WOULD make you an idiot is if you sold the old one cheap and paid double for the new one.

heh actually as my one saving grace. . I made a $50 profit on the old one.. . So I'm still $50 up. . .except on my new one I went a little bit crazy with the ROM expansions . . . so I'm way down cos those old emu roms cost a freaking fortune!

(used to have an mp7 with the mo phatt set. .. this time I'm buying a px-7 with the protean drums AND I'm buying one of the orchestral roms ...that'll hurt the bank account!)

I know the feeling -- I've been wanting a Roland D-50 and an Ensoniq Fizmo for years -- both of which, at one time, I owned. I sold my D-50 for about $250 and can't find them in good shape under $500 these days, and the Fizmo -- sold it for $450 and now, when they do actually show up on e-Bay, they're going for $900-$1200.

"argh."

I'm conflicted, as I'm really about to ditch all my MIDI gear (except maybe my V-drums) and go "all-software"

i'm about to ditch most of my software and go all midi HW. i don't think you're an idiot cartesia - at least you found out what you like. too many people now settle for what everyone else says is the shit. and also, for a lot of live electronic performances i've seen recently it seems to be about the schtick rather than the feeling.

I used to own an Emu XL-7, sold it and now regret that I did.. what a silly boy I am!

This is precisely why I'm afraid to sell any of my hardware, except for my samplers. I have this Korg X5DR half-rack rompler that's sitting in storage, but can't even find the courage to give it to someone. Who wants a bunch of O1W sounds in a 64 voice module now anyway?

Hey, how are you able to edit your blog posts cartesia? I've not been able to edit my posts for a while now. Someone needs to be spanked.

I keep hearing good things about the command stations, and I'm oh so tempted. The fantasy would be to ditch Emagic Logic with all the latency and computer problems that need expensive upgrades, and switch to doing all writing on a tabletop sequencer.

I've owned a JX8P and an Oberheim OBXa and sold them both, so I'm just as weird. No regrets on either of those two, btw. Just couldn't get into them. Everyone in the band I was in at the time liked by Alpha Juno worlds better, as did I. The Oberheim just turned out to be a big disppointment. I think I actually wanted an OBX, not its Curtis chip laden corner-cutting replacement.

Right at the top of my blog I can see this:

"Author: cartesia on August 09 2007 (Edit)"

The "Edit" bit is highlighted in red and clicking it takes me to the edit screen for the blog.

Notice the quote is "I've not been able to edit my posts for a while", as they have worked in the past following the normal "click the plus sign and edit" procedure.
Also, I mean the blog comments, not the actual blog text. For instance, I go into the only blog owned by revelcraft and try to edit a comment I put in the blog. Submitting the edit does nothing, that's all I mean. I guess there's a time limit or something to get an edit in.
