Re: playing drums with a MIDI guitar

No, I do not think they are using any additional modules, but they're
for sure not using a GR01 any more.  Adrain uses a Roland Handsonic for
drum sounds live with King Crimson.  I think the last time I saw them
they were both using GR30s.  I just think the GR30 and 33 are not all
that good.  Now, if they used the VX series sound engine in the GR3X
series, I think that would rock.  It's essentially what I'm doing.

On the other hand, I'm *loving* the sounds of the Korg MS2000.  I have
not a/b'd it to a true analog synth, but damn this sounds good enough
for me.  It's been a long time since I've owned a DW8000, but I'm happy
with the MS2000's versions of it's waveforms.  Very organic sounding.
Filters have that nice "quack" to them.  Very warm, but also nice and
crunchy... like steping on a duck on very dry frozen snow...  Plus,
unlike all these "romplers" we're speaking of, this thing's got knobs to
spare and tons of tweakability.
