Thanks for the information!!!

All the sites look very interesting, but I particularly like the http://noisesculpture.com site. I plan on ordering a couple of books later tonight.

The site with the "soft" analog synth looks real interesting too, but at this point in time I have pretty much spent my "music money" for a while and I know if I start looking at some really cool product, I will probably want to buy it. I don't even want to try it till I get a little money saved, I figure I should probably be able to work through my learning curve with all my current synths.

But I do have a question about the Zebra 2... I was watching the tutorial on MacProvideo and noticed the soft synth he is using makes "stepped" sounds as he makes knob adjustments. I was reading somewhere that this was a common problem with virtual and soft synth, but also read that the Virus doesn't have this kind of problem, which I have found to be true so far. Can you tell me if the Zebra 2 makes notched or stepped sounds when you turn the knobs or is it smooth like a real analog synth or the Virus?

I've also been eyeing a couple of other virtual synths for the future, the Arturia and the Korg MS2000 and was wondering if anybody had one of these and had problems like I'm talking about?

Anyway, thanks again for the information and it looks like I'm going to be real busy learning a lot of new things.
