Oh, it's the *QS*-*300*. This is like my dream digital synth. It's got one of these "tab" interfaces (like the setup dialogs in Win95), all parameters are shown as knobs or sliders, even though it's digital, the filters sound half-decent. It's sort of like a cross between a home keyboard, a General MIDI box, and this warped synth that you see in your dreams which has, like, 32 voice polyphony and is all analog, and 16 voice multitimbral with 4 layers per voice. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - scott koladich = formula 44 productions = rashid@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca < i am the operator with my pocket calculator > - - - - - - - - - - - -
