Understood it's not intended as a full-blown retirement income - but with better management the possibility for it to become that exists (provided it's taken out of the hands of politicians). In any case, the whole thing is obviously eroding quickly. My last 5 years comprised 30% of my total contrib...

Does anyone know if CWA still located at the radio-telescope? (Obviously Frank, Ralf, Jens, et. al would know) I hadn't known about their unique one-time HQ for some time - and found it to be an interesting bit of trivia. I found a photo of what I believe is the right structure (Stockert 25m): http:...

Ahhh - Now that's more like it. More like what I'd anticipated.

MS-20 emulation in Korg's Legacy Collection has an on-screen variable parameter for "Analog" and I believe Alesis Ion has a menu paramater for the same. Agreed it can tend to thicken things, but beyond the slightest values those adjustments just make the synth sound out-of-tune to my ears....

Hey, whatever nomenclature CWA assigns is good enough for me! It might probably be a Scope 5, yes? In any case, it's the same as for SCI - if they call it a 5, then I'll not call it a V.

It will load as a VSTi if you use the info in the link provided by wayne, but (since it's designed pre-XTC days?) no VSTi output will be created in your host's mixer. :sad:

At least that was my experience in Cubase SX...

Reminds me of the most forward line ever directed my way -

Walking on campus w/ girl while it's raining and I'm holding the umbrella for the two of us; she says "I'm getting wet and I'm not even getting rained on..."
