I agree, but it seems daft to have to use 10 DSPs to get a 12 note poly
synth.
Ok, maybe it sounds very close to the original, but it seems that some
either myself or creamware have missed the point. surely having this much
DSP power in a rack allows for far more than just emulations of older
synths, Im sure that you could make the mother of all granular synths with
10 DSPs...

I just think its time that the industry stopped selling 'sound-alike' box's
and started making something new, the Noah seems like a superb example of a
missed opportunity to do just this.
