Thank you very much for your comments, Scott.

I'm interested in EPS series, too. But I didn't know much about its Transwave 
function until recently - until I read your page and when I saw the Waveboy 
disks. Your mp3s are quite impressive as it well conveys EPS's flexibility. 

I remember Ensoniq advertised their MR and FIZMO had 2nd generation Transwave -
 I suspected that it might be multi-sampled with less looping noise, 
but I don't really know the actual details.

I'm impressed with EPS's loop point modulation, as I don't know other 
synths that can do this. Some models like E-MU Morpheus can reloop the 
samples, but I think this tends to yield rather static noises. If the 
loop point is modulatable like EPS, it would be more creative.
