I've had my Accent S A for about a year now, and I love the thing. I find it much easier to understand at high speeds than anything else I have used. (about the only of the more common synthesizers I have not used are the Sounding Board and the Audaptor) And the Accent certainly can reach some incredibly high speeds while remaining comprehensible. For someone who needs a flexible, responsive and understandable synthesizer, I would never hesitate to recommend AICom's desktop synthesizer-- the Accent PC and S A. I have been less satisfied with the Accents for laptops-- the 1200 and 1600, but it is my understanding that at AICom, they're making changes to the drivers for those which may alter some of the things which I don't care for. We shall see. --Carla ... Read what I mean, not what I write! -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!129!89!Carla.Campbell Internet: Carla.Campbell@f89.n129.z1.fidonet.org
