Hi Roel!

Of course, with the G2 out in every store by now, there´s always the Nord
Modular mk1 which is down at really low price levels now, has incredible
capabilities (erm... it´s modular..), sounds reasonably fat... shame you
only get two ocatves to play with... but if you wanna go experimental with
12 oscillators per voice, 9 24dB lowpass filters coupled in a row controlled
by another 17 LFO´s and random generators or what have you... not to forget
the four morph groups which, with one knob, can handle 25 parameters at a
time... outside the Doepfer/analogue domain this one is a bargain and a
beast! And you get plenty of knobs whose functions you can set up for
yourself! And edit everything you´d like detatched from the computer! Around
500€ here in Sweden...

Well, just my 2 kronors worth..
