Humm sounds interesting. Is it available in a 19" rack version? I need
another keyboard synth like I need a second anus. Actually 5 years ago I
probably would have actually ventured out of the studio to go and have
a look at one. This year it sounds like too little too late. 

Do you ever find that technology is 5 years behind your needs? And in
another 5 years time these will probably be the treasure you pick up at a
garage sale. I mean what's a used SynClav worth these days? Anything? 

But then again I still think the DX7 and it's family is the hottest synth
since the VCS3. And it's almost stable too.
