<p>Well‚ I will have to give it a look. My trend is toward less and less hardware though, and 2k is still quite a bit of cash.</p>
<p>Another one that I have been thinking about is the specktralis 2. Now that the os is at v1, I wonder if it lives up to promises? I got to borrow one that was v.97 and that was pretty good...</p>

One thing I learned is it's not a hardware version of their softsynths, and it's not really ment to be. The minimoog is the only pre built synth that comes on it, though pre built versions of the other v synths are supposed to come in an update. You can of course build your own versions of the synths, though one note - the SOS guy who was reviewing it maxed the cpu trying to build a CS80. But it's really about building monsters that never existed, moog oscillators to jupiter filters and so on... the routing looks pretty deep, 4 parts multi(each with their own effects), analog style sequencer. It's basically an analog style workstation. Apparently the presets suck ass, even though a minor thing, I think this really messes with peoples first impressions who don't bother to dig down into the synth. <div>
