Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Congrats, Ravi
That is quite a purchase! I played with one in the
store also and I can see where it is probably the most
versitile Synth since the Wavestation A/D came out. It
is HUGE in it's capacity and capability. But different
that, say, a Triton. It's more "mutation" than
"workstation", at least from what I was able to gather
in my short time on it, though it did have those
features on it, yes?

If I had the money...
