well, despite this not being the Waldorf list...what do you think of
the Q?  I am thinking about grabbing one in the near future; but I've
never actually played one, I've just heard the samples.  It seems like
it has an interesting niche and would work very well with my current
small set of machines (MD, Sidstation and Evolver).

ahhh....another machine on my list :-) But I'm holding out for a bit;
I'm hoping that they'll eventually add some MIDI control capability as
well as patch memory.  Maybe I'm dreaming... But for now, the idea of
resetting 72 knobs for each song doesn't really interest me :-)
Likewise with their Perfourmer - a great idea and great-sounding; but
patch memory and MIDI control would change its status from great to
*necessary*.

Then again, hard-setting 72 knobs is probably better than
hand-programming a sequence with six knobs (i.e. on the Rack Attack)
:-)  Especially when the 72-knob machine is analog....
