Hi

"I'm holding off on replacing my stolen 777 since I sincerely believe the
revolution will sound as good or better than the 777, and cost less to
boot."

Really sorry to hear your 777 got stollen. That is quite a big value item
to have nicked..

I agree the Revolution is going to sound closer to a 303 then the 777 but
the Revolution is a very simple single oscillator synth (like the 303). As
you know, the 777 is quite a serious 4 oscillator/2 Filter mono synth.
Okay, its conventional modulation abilities are limited but there again it
does have its own unique modulation abilities. I guess the Revolution is
going to sound like a 303 whilst the '303 sound' is only a very small subset
of what a 777 can do.

"the revolution appears more "groove approved" but I expect it contains core
noise generation circuitry either identical to or improved from the 777."

Yes, the sequever looks like it is going to be a massive improvement over
the 777s which will make me eternally jellous :-) Yes, the Revolution could
have similar/improved circuitry to the 777 but the Revolution is only a
single osc/filter synth with limited modulation. In terms of synthesis, the
777 offers way more then the 303 whilst the Revolution is clearly trying to
be a very good 303.

I guess what I am trying to say is that the Revolution does not look like it
has been designed to encroach on the 777 but rather encroach on the 303.

Anyone know when some audio clips are going to be released?

see you
