They use interpolation indeed. The distortion modes in the Virus filters
are also very nice and make it sound completely different.

I'm very happy that the highpass filter also has resonance because I
always use it as "sub oscillator" for basses. :)

First thing: it's from Belgium and so am I... I know the makers, so I'm
biased. :)
It has so many possibilities... I see it more as a "synth without
oscillators" instead of a filterbox. :)
Very powerful sound as well.

Sure, as soon as it's in the stores. :)))
Bad joke. Most of the trance releases I was talking about, will be
released in September or so. I'll then post some MP3 files with short
previews of each song. I'll make sure I'll take a part where the
SidStation is in it.

We have 20Mb on the Egroups site that has not been used yet! Accessable
NOW!

Thanks for the link... personally I definitely prefer the SidStation
site since it's more accessable to new people.

By the way, I just found this through micromusic.org:
http://www.sidsyn.com
Seems interesting as well, although not that many features. I'm curious.
:)

Bye,
Joeri
