Rogue Music, but they have sold out. They only got 6 in. They have more on the
way though.

Waldorf's voice expansions tend to be rather expensive. Why not get two Micro
Qs. Or better yet get a Micro Q and the new Virus Rack or a used Novation Nova
(I love my Nova!). They all cost about the same. Or get a used MicroWave II or
a used E-mu Orbit (these are really inexpensive now).
