I'm still waiting for my G2--- hopefully by the end of the first week of February...
The "G1" has been a huge success for me in my setup since it came out.

Korg's virtual Wavestation made me smile, as well. Have to wait until March for that 
one. Maybe I won't have to fix my hardware WS's faded display after all...  ;) And their 
little fake MS-20 USB controller was too cute for words.

Being an E-Mu user and beta tester from the Emulator 2 up through the E4XP, I was 
impressed with the Emulator X's feature set. Unfortunately, it not only requires a PC, it 
has at least two PCI cards. My "token" PC is in a Shuttle case, and only has one free 
slot. So, I guess I stick with my E4 Platinum.

It was a shame not to have the analog modular companies out in force this year, but I 
think they get more business "mileage" from the Web and word-of-mouth. I know 
that most everyone who's seen my 70+ module MOTM system has become a 
customer.

I agree with the notion that it's a good time to invest in other parts of my studio, to 
round it out and make it a more comfortable place to spend the long hours. Making 
good multitrack recordings is no longer an issue, and I'm happy with my mix of old, 
new, and "hybrid" instruments.
