Yes, since discovered the acceleration feature. Still, I think 
controlled stepping at 10 times the speed would be a useful feature.

I guess my point was that the features which make it such a good mono 
would be a bit redundant in a poly. Bit like the midimoog - how often 
do you see "midimoog bass" as a patch on a modern synth or sampler? - 
you rarely see midimoog poly patch emulations.

Yeah, I might even buy it anyway!
