Xpantastic!

Hi PeWe,
You know I looked at the C1 but like all synth co's they did not 
stagger the keyboard like a real organ. This is a big deal to me.
I also like to actually play the instrument and this is a clumsy 
way of doing things. Also the Lesli simulation is just not swishy 
enough compared to the real thing. 

I bought the little clasic virus because it has it's roots in the 
matrix 6.  ACCESS actually made a realtime programmer for the M1000
for it's first product. The biggest problem with it is, not enough 
MOD slots, and like the M1000 it takes forever to find the sound you 
want. 
  
BTW I notice all my DSP based keys: ELCTRO 73, Virus, and V-Synth 
have a rubbery kind of quality to the sound. Not that they all sound 
the same but they all share some sonic aspects.
