Oi, I have played the "real thing" on a couple of occasion, though not
for, er, over ten years.

The complete m-tron thing cost me 89 uk pounds, it could have been
worse. It's difficult to get a good feel for the quality of products
like this sometimes, b/c one does read conflicting opinions of it,
plus the whole "nothing's as good as the real thing" tendency can
muddy the waters somewhat.

I guess I'd better save up for the pinder CD, unless something better
comes up in the interim.

Emu "ultra" series samplers are ridiculously good vfm at the moment, I agree.
