Thanks for the responses.

I agree - I basically need three things: Soaring Minimoog style leads, really evoking pads, and the ability for it to growl.

With the numerous hours I've spent on the machine, I simply cannot fault it. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and at the current OS version, I think it'd serve me well live.

However, for the money, I'd like to see all features work.

I think I'll hold out for that OS update, and then see what the alternatives are at the time. But to me, the Korg/Roland/Nord stuff isn't anywhere near it.

The only other synth I really like is the Dave Smith Polyevolver.

Or failing that, the Studio Electronics SE1X, which is great, but sadly monophonic!
