My latest eBay buy is a Red Sound Darkstar XP2, a desktop VA synth with a useful range of controls including a performance joystick. It's good for TB303-style basslines and reasonable for analogue pads (though it could do with a chorus unit). You can't fit Red Sound's vocoder conversion to this model - but I wouldn't be likely to do that even if I could find one, so that's not an issue. I found replacements for a couple of missing knobs, but not the joystick knob - Red Sound don't have them, so I wonder where I can find one of those?
