Curious to know what AKS owners thin k of Wiard stuff. 

Thanks!

Not to speak for Grant, but he has often amourously reflected on his 
Synthi experiences of the past....

I have both, and they're both great but different.

The Synthi is usually (depending on mods, age,
condition) a lot less stable and predictable than the
Wiard. But both are excellent sonic playgrounds where
experimentation and chance can play a part of the
creative process. It's just that chance (which
includes things like room temperature, the number of
pins in the board, etc.) often plays a bigger role
with a Synthi -whether you want it to or not.

I've never owned an EMS, but I've messed around with them a few times (and 
I got to briefly experience a wall-sized 100 in a German studio earlier 
this month!), so I'm not really speaking from experience.  But before I 
bought a Wiard system, an EMS was at the top of my synthesizer want list, 
and upon receiving the Wiard, it pretty much dropped off.  I realize that 
they're hardly identical, but I can get extremely close to nearly all of 
the EMS sounds I hear on recordings with it (well, I haven't tried them 
*all*, but you know what I mean...).  But I would be very curious to hear 
from folks who have done side-by-side comparisons (including Grant?).
