Hello, I'm Martin, and I'm an....

... old bass player who got into home recording a couple of years ago with a Roland VS880 and VS1680.

I use a Roland XP60 for a lot of my sequencing work.

I have the Vintage Synth; Keyboards of 60s and 70s; Bass and Drums; Orchestral II and Session expansion cards.

I think the XP60 is a marvellous machine, but for someone who has never had the slighest grasp on synthesised music in the past, I still find it INCREDIBLY user unfriendly.

But the sounds.... phew. They are worth (just) the hours of frustration.

This BBS has the potential to be wonderfully helpful: Epu and some of you other guys have already given me good advice in the past, and having finally dragged myself half-way up the learning curve I'd be delighted to pass some of it on (assuming there is anyone in the world who knows less than I do...)

All the best,

Martin
