Yea, i might try to get it from them for 450 or so, we will see. They dont exactly cater to the synth market in the way we think of it, so , yea they are a bit clueless. If i was them id have it on ebay!

As far as the vsynth goes, i AM overwelmed, by how much crap there is there that is gimicky. Like that mouse pad deal that looks like a kaoss pad, im just not impressed by that or that d beam. I know it appeals to some folks but i guess im not in that target market. And for petes sake, could they not make it all metal or at least thrown some wood encaps on there for 2200!

Cheers
