Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Whatever U do, peter, don't buy the XT.  Much like Clavia with the 
Nord Modular, Waldorf discontinued the XT's in favor of the Q's, and 
with this the manufacture of all parts for the XT.  My XT blew a 
circuit board 6 weeks after I bought it, and it's been sitting in a 
repair shop now for 5 months waiting for a circuit board that may or 
may not appear from herr motherland.  No word from W as to when It'll 
get fixed (but they sent me a "loaner" Q Rack for my trouble--GREAT 
customer support.)  So stick with the Virus, or check out the Q rack, 
for it has nice wavetable parameters and a PPG Wave LP filter to 
boot. Jimbo
