743.0. "SCI (Sequential Circuits) Studio 440" by GIBSON::DICKENS (Distributed System Manglement) Wed Apr 01 1987 15:10

    Has anyone heard/seen/playedwith the new Sequential Circuits 
    "Studio 440" ?  
    
    It's the Prophet 2000 sampler guts plus sequencer plus smpte sync
    etc.  Sounds like a lot of hardware in a small package.
    
    Price ?

743.1Big Bucks, But...DRUMS::FEHSKENSThu Apr 02 1987 10:556
    I think this just got reviewed in the last issue of Keyboard.  I
    think it's about $4K.  Yeah, $4000.  They thought it was neat but
    for $4K it didn't do a lot of things they expected it would.  It
    reminded them of the super Linn (RIP).

    Len! you should get one and flame-broil a review...
    
    Ever get the feeling that the only thing we are being
    sold is features? 
    
    instrument: basically a box. With certain necessary functions.
    		These shared by all OTHER boxes in the same function class.
    
	
    But here we have a case of terminal feature diarrea....

    Seems to me that for $4600, I could talk the boys at EUW into a
    package deal of an S50 ($2500?), MC500 ($1100?) and SBX80 ($1000?),
    which all together add up to a Studio 440 and then some...
    
    I think Sequential dropped the ball on this one.
