My Sweetwater rep gave me quite the low-down but am only interested in preordering the Korg MS20....am SO AMPED!!!

The Prophet 12 is DSP-based for the oscillators. Not DCO.

My Sweetwater Rep confirmed only the Wavetables are DSP, Dave Smith is using the same Curtis Chips (DCO) for analog osc's stabilization, as he has used for all analog osc's in DSI incarnation. My contact at DSI that I do not toss his name around for good reason also has relayed same to me when assisting me with the two monoevolverkeyboards and the polychain set-up on each with desktop evolvers. There's nothing wrong with DCO as the difference between a VCO and DCO is simply the stability of osc to stay in-tune or however you may want to detuen it is not affected by cold temps, etc. The Wavetables need the DSP. DSI took the best from their PolyEvolver and Prophet 08 with alot of newer sound sculpting tools and knob per function with very little menu diving.
However, I have no intention of arguing one way or another as all it does is cause unwanted divide when as musicians and Cultural Creatives, should go to the source if you want to see the answer in your email box.
