i have been reading the posts since a couple of weeks (i got addicted 
without even owning the machine yet!).. heard the sounds and am def. 
gonna buy one for the sounds alone... i need 6 outs and love the 16 
pots for editing.. turbo-phatt + qy700 (the only hardware seq. i 
think will do for me) is way more expensive... i can always go back 
to my atari + cubase set up for on stage, but would rather not.

btw, i found out you can't read polls unless you vote, so being the 
honest fellow i am, i can't bring myself to vote for something i 
can't judge.
peace,

peter.
