Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Oliver,

I will probably keep the XT for the
rest of my life :)
 
However, it depends on what you're looking
for in terms of sound. It's a special synth
and if you're looking for a dance/trance/house
crap (sorry i just can't help it) there are
better alternatives.

But if you're looking for a
synth that can scream and can do experimental/ambiant
kind of sounds, the XT fits in this category.
It can sound very hardcore digital (but the sound stays pure and
undiluted)  AND does very good analog
emulation. It can also emulate the old DX7.
I love the knobs and the metal case.

I find the XT very inpiring and i'm still finding new
sounds after 2 years. As far as alternative Wavetable synths,
i don't think there is any at these prices.

I'm now thinking of getting a MicroQ KB because i was
so impressed by Waldorf, although i think a new OS
should have been released a long time ago ;)

As for the price, i saw them  at 1000$USD (10 voices)
a year ago and thought it was a good price for a
8 multitimbral with a great sound.
But if you get one i suggest you take the 30 voices.
How much ar they now ?

Hope this helps,

Simonvolt
