You know, I've had to correct this post before. If there are errors in
the synth material in the Grand Royale #3, they are errors by the
interviewees. The issue is full of interview material, so if you like
the idea of reading Bob Moog, Dick Hymen, Wendy Carlos, and Walter sear
in conversation, get this issue. I'm not a big Beasty fan, but they've
done a good job here. I'd rather read Bob Moog than somebody else
talking about him. Ditto the others.
As to ARPs rip-off, it's the truth. ARP had to yank Bob Moogs filters
out of their machines or face a lawsuit from Bob himself. Is there any
way around that being a BOB MOOG RIP-OFF? If so, I'd like to hear it.
To ask more of a magazine than some eclectic good reading is absurd.
Yeah, you can get the synth books (doubtless we all have them), but to
compare books to magazines and find magazines wanting is faulty. They
are two different animals. Need I go on? Get loose!
