Yeah, that's Plan B. I'm not a hardware guy though and after the sampling session they would probably gather dust. I have a small room with little storage possibilities. I guess I could resell them, but it seems a bit of unnecessary effort if someone who already has a nice collection can just sit down for an hour with audacity. Plus there are some classics that aren't that easy to get (Yamaha PSS series, old Casio SKs).

Here's 2 packs of two 'No Name' toy keyboards. Can anyone ID those (pics linked on site)?

Another 2 packs of toy keyboards, but not free. I'm not keen on linking sample packs that cost money here, but man, toy keyboard samples are REALLY hard to find! Also, they're the price of two Happy Meals, so it's not too bad. I found toy / toy keyboard packs for over $200 on my search!

I would be very happy if the amount of image macros used here won't mirror that of another place. I would even be happier if discussions like the above stay on the mature level they are now, and people who don't participate directly in them either enter with a meaningful argument or stay out of it. I enjoy discourse a lot more than mud fights.
Disclaimer: This isn't directly aimed at Rei but a general wish of mine. Yes, I am aware of the paradoxicality of disrupting the discussion with this. Carry on.

I really don't see a need for public rankings or quality selection of any kind when it's possible to do them individually.

A request: Does anybody know a specialized Toy Keyboard archive? Is anybody hoarding good samples of those and wants to share?

Re: Some kind of icon for RECENT POSTS (8 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)
Ah, so you mean the link to the last post (ie behind "Today 1:15pm" at the end of the table) . I thought you meant the blue box under the thread title.
Yeah, it's a bit dodgy here too. The click box seems to sit actually above the text.

Re: This is your brain on chipmusic (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My need to fit music to mood is stronger than fitting music to activity. But I've noticed that I program better and quicker with loud up-tempo stuff in the background (breaks, darkcore, that kind). Sometimes I wished I could listen to music while making music (don't laugh).
Thanks for the link btw, looks like a good book to pick up.

Re: What do you say when some asks what do you do? (87 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I usually know the musical taste of my acquaintances, so I tell them I make terrible beeps and bleeps they don't want to hear. So far anyone who persisted to listen to a sample agreed. I mean I get looks aghast with horror when I put on Autechre or even Aphex.
But I've at least slowly familiarized my co-worker with my personal choice of music, so he's on a "don't mind" level.
