Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'm with you on this one, about the fixes. I too am waiting to see
what will happen at Frankfurt. I do believe the rumors about a new
OS and the end of the Mono Bug Saga.

As for using synths that work in mixes and that do a valuable job
on their own, well i'm on the other side. I use the XT as my main
sound source cause that's the sound i'm looking for. That doesnt
mean i would not like to get a Virus C or a Clavia Nord Lead 3 but
the set up i have right now works.

And now with is new buddy
Evolver, i don't really need anything else at this moment. But
that's just me, i know peaple usually thinks the XT takes to much
place in a mix but i think it depends what you're after, and i'm kind
a glad i'm alone on this one ;)

I keep a minimalistic approach to song writing and, like you, i only
keep what i really need.

Hehe, well I *did* buy one. And then I waited a few years for some
fixes, the synth to be "finished off". When I got fed up waiting, I
sold it. Maybe after Frankfurt I'll be encouraged to get another. I
only keep instruments that excite me, that work for me in mixes, that
do a valuable job of their own. I'm not a collector...
