I've been a fan of hardware since 1997 and the "poor" sampler-card Terratec EWS 64 XL with max 64MB Ram incl. Akai S2000 import function and it's big brother XXL with the 5,25 boxed microwavePC (a collaboration between Waldorf and Terratec), even more I recognized, that this kind of stuff is part of creativity. Somehow it reminds me of Benassi and the rumour, how a small "mistake" with a loopback created a new mainstream electronic base-sound 😊
I had the Q yellow keyboard, I sold it some years ago which I regret, although the encoders started to get a little ‘jumpy’, since then I got the yellow micro Q as I love the Q sound, superb synth.
