Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi,

I agree,  the microwave is a superb synth.

Don't knock it please... try knocking the novation stuff or the roland 
groove boxes.. ( for trashy filters ! )

Waldorf wavetable synthesis is immense and capable of fabulous sounds.

The XT has a tremendous frequency range and offers a completely 
different

soundset compared to the normal 2-3 oscillator subtractive stuff.

The XT is dead long live the XT !

Vive la difference !

Waldorf fan..
