Great! Glad it worked out so well.

Musician's Friend... $599! That is $400 less than they quoted us this weekend.

Hmmm... you are adding to my gear lust!! Actually, I already have the EX5R which basically has an PLG150AN card built-in (and the VL too, plus sampling). 

I agree with you on the CS1x. I've kept it because it was one of my first synths. So, it will be the one to go. I need to give the AN1x a fair chance before giving it up. 

I did order the OB-12 today... It's not due in until the 15th though (and who knows, they may bump that date again).

Yeah, but what is it called when you are lusting after software synths?
