Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Paul,

Depends... of course this detail should be mentioned, but I can think why 
they did so. AFAIK, the XT has no true stereo engine like the evolver, but 
the engine is mono and stereo is produced at the amp stage of the signal. 
Therefore, it is only possible to work with mono input. A mono jack would 
be enough, but by the way they did it, you can simply connect any stereo 
source without having to worry about signal levels when panning occurs in 
the source. 

If they advertised stereo input, they may have hired someone from the 
marketing division of the sirius cybernetic corporation :-)

Anyway, mono is not as great but still godd enough...


Later,

Oliver
