It's pretty cool.Hi Mazz,That reminds me of the easy method: A free plug-in called PSP PianoVerbIt's a cool effect and I liked it in my experimental tracks but I never kept any of them so I can't prove anything!

After all, the synthesizer is meant to be used to synthesize. Stock patches are great but the point of a synthesizer, IMO, is to create your own new instrument and sounds that reflect your own voice. It's going to be hard because the stock patches are going to be amazing but, if the editing capabilities are there, and I have no doubt that they are, there's no reason that one shouldn't, with a little elbow grease, be able to create their own awesome, original patches.Anyone up for it?MazzMazz I need to make a livin'! No time to tinker patches! Songs want to be written! Dial-in and play that damn thing away! UPS sended me already the shipment details. It's on the way...

Great news!!I picked ground shipping cause I live in California and it usually only takes a couple of days to get to me (if they're shipping from LA). Haven't heard yet.I can't wait to hear what you come up with!!Mazz

As an Athmosphere and STylus user you almost can't resist on Omni...200.- isn't that much and I've already used some of the free Stylus-patches they gave out for the contest...not edited back then Walt

(using my best poker face) Your absolutely right, this is just another instrument like the dozens of others out there. Really nothing to see here, move along.

That part about "making you appear more talented than you really are" really hooked me so I took the plunge. Can't wait for the new toy to arrive! Who knows... maybe it'll be like having instant talent in a box. Hey Mazz, I'm up for your custom patch challenge. En Garde! Yours in Musical Bliss,Allen
