Great! Guess I need a crummy system to get the most out of crummy

Scott: The main difference between then and now is the early Aphex
unit's were all tube powered and now they are a totally different
animal. I've tried to talk Marvin Ceasar into re-producing them but he
seems reluctant. I think they would be embraced. I first heard the
Aphex used live with Paul McCartney live, the piano sounded amazing so
I asked Paul why and he said it was Aphexed. That's when I met the
founder and principal inventor, Curt Knoppel. He is no longer involved
either.
