What Genesis & ELP albums do you have?

I'll have to make a list of the Genesis albums and get back to you on that... I have several. Of ELP, I only have Brain Salad Surgery and Works.

Did you get the new Rush album yet (Snakes and Arrows)? It just came out yesterday and its awesome. Some of the songs, I woudln't have guessed were Rush. Tool maybe, but not Rush. This is a heavier, darker album, for them with a new production direction (*lots* of guitars). It's k-rad, nman.

No, the CD cabinet in the office isn't ready for my CDs yet, so they're still in boxes. :-(

Aren't the SE devices related to Moog somehow?

So right now you have... two ELP CDs...?

They're both analog synthesizers. The SE-1X is similar in configuration to a Minimoog: 3 oscillators, 1 voice. But it has no keyboard, four ADSR envelope generators (Minimoog has 3 ADR), 3 LFOs (Minimoog has none, but you can use oscillator 3 as an LFO), and it's programmable.

The Omega 8 is unlike anything Moog produced, more like the Oberheim 4-voice except with 8 voices, 2 VCOs per voice, 3 ADSR envelopes, 2 LFOs. And... it's programmable. Also, it kills.

Ah. I thought I remembered you saying that the SE devices shared some heritage with the Moog (or maybe it was Oberheim). <shrug>

Very cool. I'm probably going to have to learn some of Emerson's Hammond work before we jam, huh? :|_

Lots of sheet music used to be available, but not anymore. I should have snagged it. That stuff is really beyond me to pick up by ear, most of it.

Maybe I referred to it as a "Minimoog clone?" Because it's more similar than different, the differences being improvements, except the lack of a keyboard. But every monophonic synth is indebted to Moog for that unit in that it was
the first of its kind. And it was the most popular: they made 12,000 of them.

The new Minimoog has improvements, too, but it's about $3000; an Omega 4-voice is about $3200.

Here's the SE-1X:
