I'm spoiled, I have a Moog Voyager, Moog Sub Phatty, Dave smith prophet 08, and a Waldorf Rocket :P Thing is, everywhere the big game doesn't workor doesn't feel right, the Waldorf seems to do :-) For some reason this synth just worksand it has helped me out of a lot of "problems". It had good controls to make lots of different sounds, it's very intuitive and some interesting combining can be done. Only thing is that when editting midi in Cubase, sending midi to the Rocket while doing so, somethimes the thing can hang up or do other crazy stuff. No problems when recording or live though, so it's not a big deal (I read somewhere that most Waldorf stuff does this, they should work on that). All in all a good buy for a very nice price. I've sold my first one, regretted it even though I also have those big guns in the studio. So got this one and I'm quite happy with it.
