I just picked this up while it was on sale at www.sugar-bytes.de. There's supposed to be a free update coming out on Dec. 31. I'm having a blast with it so far. I figure between this, my Techno Toys Seq-303 and the Klee software version (when I get it) I'll have all the sequencing I could ever want (for software). Very Happy

Ok, I think I might be turning into a software sequencer junkie. Just picked up our own Klee software sequencer!

@ Dan - I'm going to be putting some time into it over the next few days. I think the unique thing about it is the compositional aspect compared to Thesys (which is a fantastic sequencer in it's own right) I would recommend downloading the demo - and definately read the manual! I can see it being very powerful as a performance tool - just a quick change of a knob and you can get something totally different.

@ Jez - I used to have an RNC - very nice compressor!

The Hog is indeed pretty cool, though I should say that it will take some practice and talent to accomplish what Bill does in his great demo films.

The main part of the Hog is basically a bank of pitch shifters (called voices in the manual), hardwired to octaves, two down, four up, a fifth, an octave+fifth and two octaves+fifth up, plus the original sound, making up a total of 10 voices. The pitch shifters output a nice sound, though you can hear the characteristic pitch shifter artifacts on upshifted sound. The built-in filter helps remove the artifacts a bit.

Along with the expression pedal and the seven modes there are a bunch of fun things you can do - the demo film on Electro-Harmonix site by Dan Miller (follow GovernorSilver's link) describes them pretty well.

I haven't played with it that much yet, I'm planning to see what happens with song and synth sounds. Smile
