 Hi Steve,
 Yes, I own a Microwave XT (MWXT for short) as well as the Wiard MiniWave. 
They are different in terms of the "mileage of the morph" capablities. The 
MWXT has wavetables that you can scan via envelopes, etc. It's claim to fame 
is the sound you get via the transitions between waveforms as you know I'm 
sure.

 The MiniWave is more of a Waveform processor. If you use a sawtooth input to 
scan the onboard wavetables, you can achieve the same style morphing effect 
as the MWXT ... BUT...the onboard wavetables aren't all designed for a 
continuous wave morphing effect like the MWXT. The plus side is that the 
other waveforms can do other things like quantization of a CV input. You can 
also program your own wavetables with the proper software and eprom burner 
(and a spare eprom!). Did that make any sense? (i'm tired, sorry!)

 I have some mp3's of the Miniwave still on my computer. Email me privately 
if you'd like me to send them to you. The MiniWave makes a GREAT compliment 
to the MOTM. I can't wait to order my second 300 and ....

  Keep on patchin'   : )

 PS. I hope that John Blacet does offer the Miniwave in his lineup. It's a 
very fun and interesting module.
