Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Ravi,

Yes, this is one of my concerns as well. OTOH, I can always route the MW 
output thru some external filter, like the evolver - WHICH HAPPENED TO 
ARRIVE JUST A FEW HOURS AGO ! *fat grin*

>I traded it for a Raven

Are you kidding ? :-) I once had a 309,  a friend of mine had a raven max, 
but both are gone since a long time. 

>Can't go wrong. You just have to pick your flavor: MW, MWII, MWXT, XTK 
>or even the soundcard XTs, terratek?

I definitely look for a MWXT, since I want to screw around with the 
sounds. Nothing beats direct access, so the XT is the way to go. Don\ufffdt 
have the space for a keyboard version, sigh, but the rack unit should be 
fine. 

Since I already have a Nordlead 1, I don\ufffdt look for something that gives me 
the typical virtual analog sound. Although the MW can do this too. But I\ufffdm 
more interested in wavetable synthesis, experimental sounds and FX, using 
the XT as an FX box too and from time to time I may need some chords or 
pads.
