Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Simon,

>The XT is a VA but IS different from other VA.

Then it may be a good choice :-). 

I checked the manual plus all the reviews and sound demos I could get, so 
I hope I got a good impression on the box. Anyway, we have a two weeks 
return no questions asked policy over here, so the risk is not that high. 

It\ufffds a pity that most demo sounds seem to be made for the dance trance 
people, which gives an unnecessary bias. I\ufffdd like Waldorf to do some 
things that show the true possibilities of the machine...

>I personnaly like to just use raw wavetables with no
>FX and sweep the wavetable with a LFO.

Habe you ever tried to make up your own wavetables ? I heard there is 
some way to reconstruct sound by using sounddiver. There are also some 
small utilities on the waldorf ftp server that seem to do this job.

>Yeah, so they say ;)
>I'll believe it when it's IN my XT.

hehehe, true, there are promises galore these days.... but waldorf don\ufffdt 
seem to do much vapourware afaik.

>You know what, i was wondering the same thing a few weeks ago and did

:-)



Later,


Oliver
