thanks nvisibl, but I've just picked one up from turnkey.
a brand new nord rack 2x was ?450 which isn't too bad i reckon?
I've just about got room for another rack (I'll post a pick, it is insanely crammed in here now) so will continue to use the prophecy, and who know, one of these days I may actually use it for more than a controller!
I'm just about gettign to grips with the interface and menus etc. not as clear as the virus but I'm sure I'll work it out.
Looking forward to getting some music done with it!!!!!!!!!!
