Hugh, even if I wanted to buy one, see my secondary monitors thread, as usual, can’t get one or locate one here in Europe, can’t seem to get anything in fact, don’t know what’s happening to the supply chains.

Interesting, also cheap-er, I’m waiting for the drawbacks.
So now I’ve got to wait until this thing appears, whenever that will be.

Probably not, there’s a whole bunch of people that think certain models sounded best, normally the older ones, even though it may not be true, you know what it’s like with this stuff, my Easel sounded just fine, can’t imagine it any better, and that was a new one.
I’d get that Command module, but it hasn’t got a case with a built in keyboard, my main reason for buying it.
I wonder if they'll do a new Easel-K. Secondhand prices for Thunders are astronomical. I was surprised to see Buchla offering the Sensel Morph overlay as a bundle on their website. I mean, it's fun, but, not really the same. I guess it makes sense though.

I was torn between an Easle K and the normal keyboard, doesn’t that K look like something from Area 51?
Trouble is the 223e is so powerful, with lots of control options, you really need a bigger system to make the most of it.

It’s the tyranny of choice, again!
It’s no choice, once things go over five grand I have to sit down with a large Brandy, and get real. Trouble is, there’s no substitute for an Easel, you can put a Buchla system together that is rack case based, and cut corners financially, Samomodular make great cases, and you can get secondhand modules, but it’s the suitcase style of the Easel I need.
