Erm....sorry?

The theremin. Since before I decided to save to buy one, I have been thinking about the microKORG synthesiser. Its a hardware synth, and it has a vocoder. But so many people complained about it, I though the theremin was a better idea. Since my birthday (12th February 2009), I have been able to afford the theremin, but recently korg released the microKORG XL. It seems that all of the old problems (The crappy keyboard, crappy vocoder, crappy vocoder mic) Have been sorted out, and they've changed the editing system to one I understand (With a screen that can show words!).

On Friday, I ordered it. From digital village at DV247.com. I am (I believe) One of the first people in the country to own one of these (I bought it just hours after it came into stock and most other websites are still only preordering). I decided to buy it because I feel it is more relevant to the music I make and listen to, an extension of my love for soft synths. There will quite likely be Youtube videos, I might post them here, and the aidin project may still survive (albeit without the frantic waving at a little black shoebox, or screaming noises every time I high-five someone).
