Jesper, and others,

What do you feel is "decently priced" for a basic 4 voice setup (no 
pads)?

How about 8 voices? (toms, bass, snare, hi-hats, cymbals, etc.)

From a practical point; it takes about 5 circuits which can between 
them take care of most all percussion sounds. After that, you're 
adding depth and variations. Then specialisation. And control.

Thanks,

Randal
