Critic Reviews

Dr.T Xor (SOS Nov 89)

muzines.co.uk

Dr. T's XOR offers a promising solution for managing complex MIDI setups, streamlining the laborious task of sound organization. Its robust library features and MIDI network integration are notable strengths, making sound retrieval almost instantaneous once properly configured. However, the setup can be cumbersome and time-consuming, particularly for users without a MIDI patchbay, which is highly recommended but not mandatory. The reliance on key disks for copy protection can also be cumbersome in multitasking environments. Overall, XOR shines in functionality but requires an investment of time and patience, making it a mixed bag for potential users.

DR T'S X-OR (MT Nov 89)

muzines.co.uk

Dr. T's XOR attempts to be the ultimate synth editor but stumbles with a convoluted interface and a manual that’s far from user-friendly. While its powerful features, like extensive library search capabilities and MIDI compatibility, are commendable, the software feels more tailored for tech-savvy users than musicians. Frequent crashes and operational bugs detract from the experience, suggesting that while it may boast potential, its execution leaves much to be desired. If you're looking for a hassle-free editing experience, this might not be the tool for you.

"What do you remember of the hardware setup you had in the early days?

Andy: We had an 808, 303, 202 and 101, a monophonic digital synth, Akai 950 sampler and a few other analogue keyboards. We hired in an Akai S1000 to record the first EP.

Ed: Also the Oberheim Matrix 12 and Matrix 1000, which were pretty important. Sequencing was initially an Alesis MMT-8 then Dr T’s on Commodore."
