Thanx!

Grant, I think you'll find the Wavestation a bit "complex" to program since
the display isn't at the same size as on the Triton - but still, it's not
near the toughness in programming as the Prophecy. The SR is harder to
program than the original model, the EX and the A/D because it only has this
tiiiiiny display, just like a JV-1080 or the TR-Rack (which ain't fun at all
to program).

To me, the sounds in the Wavestation are dull, atmospheric and lush. It's
one of the best pad-machines out there and I think that my Wavestation SR
will do a great job.

My Korg-story:
I started with a Wavestation EX back in 1998. Sold it due to lack of space.
Then I got myself a 01/Wfd. Lovely machine which could produce some really
nice atmospheric sounds and pads which fitted nicely in trance and other
types of electronic music. Then I did the enomous mistake by selling the
01/Wfd in favour of a TR-Rack. Gosh, I'm sooo stupid sometimes. The TR-Rack
could do some pads and stuff, but was really just a JV-1080 wanna-be. If you
ask me, the TR-Rack sucks. My JV-1080 does the job so many times better.
Anyway. I only used some drum sounds from it so I though; why not sample
those and get rid of the synth? That's what I did and now I've had my eyes
on a Wavestation since february this year. I just missed a great deal on the
A/D version, but finally got the smack-full SR version instead. Happy,
happy, joy, joy!
Now I'll put some money in my pillow and wait for a 01R/W to appear on the
used market. I want one, almost badly actually =)

Lonely eh? I saw that there hasn't been that many posts lately, but lets
come up with some topics shall we?

Cheers
