So it sounds great; big deal. A lot of other synths do, to most ears, and THYEY have (a) cool looking black cases and (b) REAL names, like ZXQ511. Pfui. As for the Korg WaveStation, I think it will follow similar ideas to the Dorf's (shoot, even I'M making fun of it), but that sweeping through a wavetable should produce different timbres than mixing wavetables en masse. Anyone want to correct my ignorance? Is there any difference between interpolating wavetables and generating mixes of them in the digital domain? metlay PS. I am not a "NO FACTORY PATCHES" fanatic, but I love to program. Might I point out that this is a biased sample of folx to ask? |->
