-yeah, it might cause dry heaves.:-/

I like the "dryness" of the Nord sound, it seems to fit into mixes very
well. You can get really punchy basses from it because the frequency
response is so focused. I use a lot of FM sounds from the Nord also, you
can get some great DX-style sounds with realtime control and psuedo-analog
filters.

I can see down the road (like when the MOTM Preamp comes out) that
interconnecting the two could be pretty cool. 410 filter on a formant
oscillator, anyone?
