Should be able to get one for that...

That is the truth! I had the NL3 and loved patching on it. The sound 
capabilities of the A6 far surpass the NL3. Not even a close race.

Sure... as long as you are looking for analog style synthesis. You 
will be lacking in drum sounds since there is no drum mode. You 
cannot create full multi-timbral tracks with the A6 due to limited 
voices, so you will need to do multi-track audio recording if you 
are looking to produce complete musical pieces.

It may be useful to search the list archive at Yahoo groups. Also, 
check out the A6 Tips and Tricks web page.
