Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hey John,

I'm in Cambridge - you can come and check mine.  Mail me back if you're 
interested and I'll mail you my number.

It does have a slight digital sound because it has a A/D D/A stage, but 
if you run it into a desk hot then that doesn't seem to be a problem - 
it's a great synth:  I auditioned it against a waldorf MWXT - and it 
sounds much better than that.

I don't have any expensive synths to compare it too, but I'm sure 
you'll get an idea.  It's great to program too.
