Once again, however, the organ patches lost me, and a couple of years later, I spent an enormous sum on a Korg Cx3, that was to be my cherished baby for another couple of years. The A30 was a well designed, light weight board, that lent itself to being torn off the stand and simulating keyboard sex whilst tearing up a blistering solo in "Oye Como Va." At age 17, of course this was the pinnacle of my music career. In retrospect, I think it may have been somewhat messy and loose, but we also happened to kick ass down in rural Tasmania, and I'll always hold that band in total affection. This sound module and controller combination lasted a couple of years, and propelled me into my first rock band - a jam band playing Santana, Doors and Stones covers. This represented the culmination of months of saving my allowance, and was so completely worth it - the organ patches sounded amazing! And they had these names like "808 00 8008" which research was to reveal were derived from actual Hammond organ drawbar registrations! So the logical next step to this involved the careful consideration and purchase of the "Keyboards of the 60's and 70's" expansion card.

As a result, I misspent possibly hundreds of hours of precious teenage years, locked in my room, methodically dialing through the hundreds of presets, hungrily thumbing through the patch lists, imagining the fame that was to come as a result of the discovery of "Shimmering Pad."Īs the weeks went by, I gradually came to the conclusion that the organ sounds were kind of thin and limited, despite the total bitchin awesomeness of "Purple Spin." They finally gave in to my single minded, persistant nagging, and purchased it for me, along with an A30 controller. Not that it wasn't totally amazing at the time, and the product of hours of obsessing at Roland catalogues, and bugging my long-suffering parents. I can't begin to count the amount of money I spent on various synth and sampler modules starting with a Roland jv1010 at the tender age of 16 back in the late 90's. What a totally genius idea - A small, low cost computer program, infinitely more powerful than a hardware counterpart, and easily upgradeable.
