hi roel, one word for the mono/poly:EXCELLENT!!! i use it on every track!i mainly use it for wierd cross mod,sync sounds as it has 4 vco's and the combinations/possibilities are many and the sound is huge!!the bass seems to me very fat...in fact i would say that it has a better sound than the arp odyssey(but i like both...).and make no mistake:the ms10/ms20 synths sound different from a mono/poly!that's why i want an ms20 despite the fact that i have a mono/poly.i really love my monopoly!!!of all my vintage synths it's my favourite and looks much better that the more expensive odyssey... as for the selector...who wouldn't want a big system?? but then again i think:for the same money i could build a monster doepfer a100 system... so,here's what i will do:first i will build a HUGE a100 system(much more than 100 modules...).then if and when i have the money i will go for a selector system (that,i must admit,it has a very small selection of modules...despite the name...) as for the a112: i can not resist the possibility of changing the sample rate in real time...that's why i want it! and who is that bernd kistenmacher???i haven't seen any cd's of him in greece... synthfreak(parallel worlds) athens-greece --- Roel Steverink <roel.steverink@12move.nl> wrote: > H� Synthfreak, > > I'm not going to say told you so.
